Kurt Cobain had the K Records logo tattooed on his forearm, saying it was to "try and remind me to stay a child." It is mentioned in the song "Lounge Act," which was written about Bikini Kill (who were signed to K) co-founder, Tobi Vail "Kurt's Ex". ("I'll arrest myself / I'll wear a shield") Kurt did the tattoo himself circa 1991 and Dave Grohl reportedly taught him how to do it.
this has already been posted, but your description was clutch. I have always though "shield wtf" hahaha. dammit Kurt's songs can get freaking personal...nobody else can relate to tattooed shields. This is good, means they didn't sell out, etc.
Who has "maligned" Tobi Vail?
