Saul Hudson, known popularly by his stage name, Slash is a British-American songwriter and musician and also the lead guitarist of the hard rock band, Guns N’ Roses. Slash is considered as one of the greatest guitarists of rock history. Besides the band, Slash has also had a solo career and released four albums, collaborating with many artists and was also included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 alongside his band, Guns N’ Roses. Slash has a really eccentric personality and has many interesting tattoos just like that, on his body. Most of Slash’s tattoos have been drawn by himself and most of them are inspired by his works. Let us take a look at the ones he has and the meanings they hold.

1. Girl Tattoo

Tattoo: There is a tattoo of a cartoon girl who has the same long, curly hair as Slash does with the name, “SLASH” tattooed below it.

Meaning: In an interview, Slash told how it is a tattoo of his alter ego where he exists as a girl. It is the first tattoo that Slash got on his body and also his favorite. He has also named the girl, Shirley.

2. Skull and Crossbones Tattoo

Tattoo: The left upper arm of Slash contains a very interesting tattoo of a skull wearing a hat along with two mics tattooed behind it in the style of crossbones. There is a gun to the left side of the skull and a few roses on its right side. There is also a vine that binds all the elements of the tattoo together. Below the tattoo is a banner with the letters, “D T U D” tattooed inside it.

Meaning: The tattoo represents the name of Slash’s band, Guns N’ Roses. The letters on the banner stand for, “Drink Till U Drop”. The skull in the middle represents himself as he is fond of hats and is seen wearing them most of the time. However, the mics inked in the shape of the crossbones are actually guitar headstocks and most likely a les paul standards because that’s what slash mainly played.
