DJ Jazzy Jeff's Technics Arm Tattoo

Monk-A 12:17 PM - 29 March, 2007
Is it me or is the Technics arm tattoo he's had done on his left arm(watch arm) back to front?

I don't kow if it's just a mirrored Photo, although every photo i see the arm seems to S the wrong and the headhsell arm is on the wrong side as though it's a mirror image.

On both the Hip Hop for ever cover Photo's it's the wrong way, and i've seen it like this in Magazines etc....

It's a cool Tattoo but I'm not sure if he's had it done in reverse on purpose so it's correct when he looks in the mirror or what?

anyone know? Or Mr Townsend if you frequent this forum as a SSL user could you please shed some light?

probably just mirrored by the mag etc.
Monk-A 12:47 PM - 29 March, 2007
Yeah i thought that but every single time?

TBut i just looked again and the image on the front of Hip hop Forever 2 is a mirror deffo as the deck he's using and mixer are all wrong, but on the front of three he's just sat on a hydrant and the righting in the background is correct... meaning the tatt must be a mirror.

I'm wondering if he has it on both arms and ones correct *the right arm) and ones reversed (the Left)?

Could you post some links to pictures?

My guess would be that he has it on both arms, one is correct, one is mirrored, but to be honest, I am not sure at all.

Have you seen DJ Rectangle's Technics tone arm tattoo it looks better than jazzy jeff's?
Nicky Blunt 2:06 PM - 29 March, 2007
Was gonna get one done too but then saw DJ Rectangles & decided against it as I thought It would be original but seeing as he has it I now want summin else!

Arent all pictures in magazines mirrored? I remember one of the modeling agents i deal with at work telling this new model to always stand on the right when taking photos this way if it shows up in the newspaper she will be on the left and mentioned first.

Why would all pictures in magazines be mirrored? I don't think so.

Anyway, if there are no pictures, it didn't happen.

Pictures please. :)

click view cover: it will enlarge. check the writing on the sign in the background, it's the right way so the image is not reversed, look at the tech headshell, it's the wrong way around.

I know, that sign in the background is backward reading in case you see it in your rearview mirror.

LMAO! You can't blame him for trying...

But I don't see Jeff as actually putting a "Brand Name" on his shit, but it's definately a brand image. Too bad it's backwards....

Maybe he likes to see it correctly in the mirror....

will he get wrecking balm if Technics was to ever go out of business? just asking/saying hypothetically?
Dj KaGeN 5:43 PM - 5 April, 2007
only thing looking right is the front of an ambulance in my rear view mirror.

Some people put tatts to remember a certain part of their life. Even if Technics goes out im sure he wont mind remembering the one thing that made him alot of money. Just MO.
Dj Shamann 8:21 PM - 5 April, 2007
Has anybody emailed Jeff about this?



Dear Jeff, did you get drunk and tattoo a backwards tonearm on yourself?

Exactly right.
That's primarily the reason most people get inked. And then you have the few that get them just because they're "in fashion." Regardless... Money in my pocket. :)
