Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich spoke in an interview made by 11Alive and explained why he never got tattoos. He said:
“I never really thought about why I haven’t. It’s just the idea of somebody sticking needles in me, leaving permanent ink spots on me just seems… It’s sort of like… I don’t know…
Why don’t you eat coal? Or why don’t you jump off the top of the Empire State Building? It just doesn’t seem like within the range of what I would call normal behavior.
But no disrespect, of course, to all people that have tattoos – it’s just not for me. I’ll take the ‘normal behavior’ part out of that. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be offensive. But tattoos are not for me.“
