Lemmy’s legacy will now live on in flesh, literally, with two members of Motörhead‘s road crew recently paying tribute with new tattoos created by mixing the late musician’s ashes into the ink.
In celebration of what would have been Kilmister’s 76th birthday on December 24, and the anniversary of his passing on December 28, longtime tour manager Eddie Rocha, and production assistant Emma Cederblad, can be seen in a new video posted to Motörhead’s Instagram receiving the new tattoos in Lemmy’s honor.
The video’s caption begins, “Motörhead means family for life,” before clips of Eddie’s Lemmy portrait and Emma’s spade are shown being inked by tattoo artist Stina Nyman on their respective legs.
