Tattoo: Jack-o’-lantern
Location: Back
Date: 31 October 1999
Frank says:
I got tattooed on my 18th birthday when I was old enough to do it legally … My first tattoo was the pumpkin in my back. I did it because my birthday is on Hallowe’en. It’s my favourite holiday. I always grew up with that being the biggest holiday of the year. My family were into Christmas, but they went all out for Hallowe’en. My house was always decorated wildly and I had a birthday party and all that. Even the weather is good. In New Jersey the Fall is the most beautiful time of the year.
Tattoo: “Loyalty * Honesty * Respect” arm band
Location: Left bicep
Date: 1999-2002
Frank says:
The next tattoo I got was this band on my left arm which says ‘Loyalty, Respect, Honesty.’ I got that because they’re the only kind of people I want in my life.
Tattoo: X with the initials N, P, J, P clockwise
Location: Right ankle
Date: 1999-2002
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The initials stand for New Jersey Pop Punk and refer to the New Jersey music scene.
• The date on this tattoo likely corresponds to Frank’s time in Pencey Prep when he was very active in the New Jersey music scene.
Tattoo: Nautical star
Location: Left inner arm
Date: 2000-2001
Other Notes & Speculation:
• Tattoo was completed before February 2001. It may actually be Frank’s second tattoo instead of the arm band.
• The star is red and black.
• Historically, nautical star tattoos were associated with sailors and people who worked the water. Stars held much importance for these men who depended on them for guidance. It is thought to be a hopeful symbol representative of finding your way and home. This common tattoo has also been adopted by the military, GLBT community and the punk movement as well as other music scenes.
• Traditionally, red represents the port (left) side of the ship.
• Frank added several other nautical stars to his left arm at a later date.
Tattoo: Broken heart
Location: inner right wrist
Date: 2000-2001
Other Notes & Speculation:
•The date of the tattoo likely corresponds to Frank’s time in Pencey Prep, Frank’s old band.
Tattoo: “I wish I were a ghost”
Location: Right wrist
Date: 2000-2001
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The date of the tattoo likely corresponds to Frank’s time in Pencey Prep.
• However, the existance of this photograph suggests that Frank did not get this tattoo until after he joined My Chemical Romance in 2002.
• It is written in red ink in a handwritten-like font.
• The phrase is a lyric from a never released Pencey Prep song, Death of the Lionheart.
Tattoo: “Hope” with flames
Location: Chest
Date: 2000-2001
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The date for this tattoo is uncertain as it is in a location that is not readily seen by the public. Frank definitely had it before he continued work on his left arm but likely after the “Loyalty * Honesty * Respect” arm band.
• Fire is a common symbol of hope and light.
Tattoo: Scorpion
Location: Right side of his neck
Date: 2002
Frank says:
I did it because I didn’t want to get a proper job - no one’s gonna give you a regular job if you’ve got your neck tattooed right? It was a way of basically forcing myself to be in this band by getting it done. The band actually paid for it. We were out on tour one day and I woke up in the venue and said to the guys, “I want to get it done,” and they’re like, “Well if you really are gonna do it, we’ll all chip in.”
Tattoo: Black Flag logo
Location: Left bicep
Date: February-August 2003
Frank says:
I also have the Black Flag logo. They are my favourite band and they made me want to start playing guitar. That band taught me that you don’t need to be a guitar virtuoso to play, just to get on and do it. It was the first band that I picked up on and felt free. I felt I can do this.
Tattoo: Crossed guns
Location: Back
Date: February-August 2003
Frank says:
And then I decided to get my back done.
Tattoo: Winged Our Lady of Sorrows
Location: Left arm
Date: August-October 2003
Frank says:
Also on my left arm, I have Our Lady Of Sorrows. She’s almost a challenge to faith. It’s a band image. We use a lot of religious imagery and I think it’s a challenge to faith in general, believing in things you can’t see, hoping that there’ll be something out there but there probably is not. I don’t believe in religion but I have certain beliefs: I believe in the here and the now, and I believe do your will is the only law.
Tattoo: Anatomical heart with a knife through it
Location: Left arm
Date: August-October 2003
Frank says:
The heart is a design I put together, a kind of a modern day image.
Tattoo: Black roses
Location: Left wrist
Date: August-October 2003
Other Notes & Speculation:
• Frank has two or three black roses tattooed.
Tattoo: Black bats
Location: Left arm (below arm band)
Date: August-October 2003
Other Notes & Speculation:
• Frank had five or six bats tattooed
Tattoo: Nautical stars
Location: Left arm
Date: August-October 2003
Other Notes & Speculation:
• Frank added three stars. At least two of them are also red and black.
Tattoo: Rising Sun style sun with a black rose and a swirl of handguns
Location: Left elbow
Date: January-March 2004
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The Rising Sun flag is a Japanese military flag with a central red disc and 16 rays.
• The swirl of guns is another band image.
• Frank has a single black rose on his elbow.
• My Chemical Romance first played in Japan on August 7 and 8, 2004 (after Frank had the tattoo).
Tattoo: Chainsaw
Location: Left bicep
Date: January-June 2004
Frank says:
I really like the chainsaw that’s around my left bicep. I’m not exactly sure how much of a bicep it is, but the tattoo came out really well. The chainsaw came fromThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. It also represents a revenge theme to me, the balance of power, or rather redressing the balance of power.
Tattoo: “i’m so sorry”
Location: Left arm
Date: January-June 2004
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The phrase is tattooed in black ink in a handwriting-like font.
Tattoo: Bomb
Location: Left arm
Date: January-June 2004
Tattoo: Devil and angel swallows
Location: Hips
Date: 2004
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The date for this tattoo is uncertain as it is in a location that is not readily seen by the public.
• The birds resemble swallows. The swallow on Frank’s left hip has horns and X’s for eyes. The other bird has a halo.
• The devil swallow also has a star above its head
Tattoo: NJ anchor
Location: Right arm
Date: July-August 2004
Frank says:
The NJ anchor I got with two other friends back home. NJ stands for New Jersey where we are from and that’s to keep me grounded. Where you are from, that’s your anchor, where your heart is. We all got the tattoo when we were in different bands. It’s a way of showing our friendship will never die. When you come from Jersey, you definitely have Jersey pride.
Tattoo: NJ
Location: Inside lower lip
Date: 2004
Frank says:
I had the inside of my lip done with the NJ. I guess it’s a way of remembering your roots, and being honest, true to yourself, and down to earth.
Tattoo: “live each day as if it were your last”
Location: Leg
Date: 2004
Frank says:
Actually, I have a lot of personal things tattooed on me such as poetry that I’ve written. The newest one I got, that I really like a lot, is down on my thigh and it says “Live every day like it’s your last.”
Tattoo: “x jamia x”
Location: Chest
Date: 2004
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The date for this tattoo is uncertain as it is in a location that is not readily seen by the public.
• Jamia Nestor is Frank’s long-time girlfriend and now wife.
• The X’s may be decorative or stand for hugs (e.g. xoxoxo for hugs and kisses).
Tattoo: “Keep the Faith”
Location: Back
Date: February-April 2005
Other Notes & Speculation:
• The tattoo was done while My Chemical Romance was part of the Taste of Chaos tour in 2005.
• Although Frank attended Catholic school growing up, interviews suggest that Frank does not follow a traditional and/or organized religion. The tattoo may therefore signify another type of faith or other beliefs.
• Frank reminds us to Keep the Faith in the liner notes to The Black Parade Is Dead.
