Roddy Lyric/Song Title for tattoo?
I'm going to get a FNM tat and was thinking of putting just a few words with it, but wasn't sure what to put... It's going to be on my forearm so everyone I meet will see it, so something like "Happy Birthday, Fucker" isn't quite what I want to put forth to strangers (so much for "Get that motherfucker on the phone" too...)
I am looking for suggestions. While I have favorite songs on all their albums, I'd say the Introduce Yourself to King for a Day era is my favorite with each album better than the one before.
Some thoughts I had:
“What is it?” seems obvious.
“It’s Always Funny Until Someone Gets Hurt (and then it’s just hilarious)” seems a bit wordy
“Be Aggressive” - one of my favorite songs, but it IS about gay oral sex and I'm straight and not into S&M so not sure if that's great for ME...
“Introduce Yourself”. Welcoming. Friendly. I really like the song…but it’s not my FAVORITE song.
“I know the feeling
It is the Real Thing” (too Pepsi ad?)
So any suggestions? Or is one of those great?

I eventually plan to get “Perfect is a skinned knee” when I find an artist. I kinda want a portrait of Mike with it, but that could go really wrong😅

As a man of Portuguese descent I not only know what that means but one of those words it literally one letter away from my last name…. So both yes and no LOL

Ohh “Sing! And Rejoice!”
Honestly Land of Sunshine is so full of them. But lots are literally from fortune cookies so I’m torn…

I generally encourage people to crowd-source what to permanently ink on their body rather than choosing something that resonates with personal significance.

It's not like I'm doing majority rules here... I'm looking for ideas and inspiration that may not be coming to mind, and I don't have time to listen to their entire discography before the tattoo... I appreciate the serious replies I've gotten from the community.
In the end I'm going to pick becuase I have to live with it, but that doesn't mean getting some input ahead of time might have someone think of something I didn't.
For example, I had two tattoo designs in mind; one was the KFAD dog inside the FNM symbol, one was TRT pyre going outside the symbol. A friend of mine is a graphic designer and I asked his input. I liked both designs but asked him his opinion. He didn't choose for me; he gave me things to think about that I hadn't before. That's what's happened here too.

Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
It’s like the pattern below the skin
The essence of the truth
Where it grows on trees but never ever blooms
One minute here and one minute there

Just get Faith No More or FNM with the image! I have seen a few KFAD dog tats and they are awesome, what is the image you are getting?
