I was recently transported back to a moment in time when I was probably around 10 years old, possibly even younger, and I was with a friend of mine in a local cafe where there is a TV that’s always on, and there was a music video on MTV. I can’t really remember much about the video except that a hot chick gets a tattoo at the very end of it. I think the closing shot of it was her getting the tattoo. Does anyone have any idea what I saw? ---

Cryin’ by Aerosmith? ---

That might very well be it. I just watched it on YouTube. Alicia Silverstone looks pretty hot in that video. The asshole boyfriend should have been played by Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs on _Twin Peaks._) ---

When were you 10 years old? ---

1. So I think I was probably 7 or 8 when I saw the video. ---

Could it be the Prodigy video “Sm_ck my B_tch up” quite a good song, if a blatant attempt to conjure up controversy for PR purposes. () She doesn’t get a tattoo at the end, but it features quite prominently (up till then your meant to assume the protagonist is a dude). ---

Just to toss something different in the ring, in the land of Canadia we had a video around that era (1994-1996-ish) by a band called **Moist** , and the song was “Believe Me”. I can’t find the video for the life of me, but in it, there is a girl who gets tattooed by **Bif Naked** , and toward the end the girl commits suicide, and Bif goes out and finishes the tattoo on her lifeless body. If I’m remembering it correctly… I remember Bif and the suicide, and tattoos. ---

I think that might be it. I recall the video as being a little more negative and dark than “Cryin’” but I’m looking back on this after more than a decade, so the memory might be a little fuzzy. ---

[QUOTE=griffin1977] “Sm_ck my B_tch up” quite a good song, if a blatant attempt to conjure up controversy for PR purposes. [/QUOTE] You edit out the word “smack” for some reason and then link to a NSFW video without warning? 😕 Anyway, yeah, for those not familiar with this video, it features several topless women, so you might want to avoid it if you’re at work.
