Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes on Tuesday (Aug. 10) released a tune that combines lead singer Frank Carter's love for music and tattooing in "Go Get a Tattoo." Show
The English musician, who carries several tattoos himself, owns and inks out of the London tattoo shop Rose of Mercy. His knack for the popular style of body modification excitedly informs "Go Get a Tattoo," which features contributions from the enigmatic performer known as Lynks. The buzzy rock anthem acts as the latest single from the Rattlesnakes' recently announced fourth album, Sticky, out Oct. 15. Down toward the bottom of this post, watch the music video for "Go Get a Tattoo," read its lyrics and see the Sticky album artwork and tracklist. "This song is a love letter to tattooing and how it's made me feel over the years," Carter says. "Without tattooing, I wouldn't be the person I am. It gives me a way to get closer to friends, family and fans, and provides intimate connections with people to create memories that can last lifetimes." The rocker-inker continues, "I signed the lease for my first ever tattoo shop, Rose of Mercy, on Mar. 1, 2020. Within three weeks, we were closed, and I had no idea when we were going to open. I'm not sure if I ever truly took tattooing for granted — I'd like to think I've always had respect for it — but I do know that I won't ever take it for granted in the future. And when this global pandemic is over, I will be traveling more and tattooing constantly, as it's a gift and should be shared. So, if you are stuck in a rut or you need to mark a big moment, or you fancy a permanent change, or you just want to look cooler, look for the rose." In April, the Rattlesnakes released the Joe Talbot-assisted "My Town," another Sticky song. Pre-order the album here and get tour dates on the band's website.
