Hello,
We (DC Tattoos) are making a documentary! And you could be involved.
Following the success of 'This Old Wound: DC Tattoos' the website, We have decided to release an unofficial DC Documentary.
However, this is no ordinary Documentary. Rather than focusing entirely on the band, we will be focusing on the fans who are a huge asset and aspect to the DC Universe.
I have met and spoke to many a great people through the website and the fans stories need to be heard!
How can you get involved? Well, we are looking to interview fans at the Portsmouth date in April and possibly the 2nd April date in London.
We want to hear your gig stories, see your tats and listen to your opinions on Dashboard Confessional.
If you cant make it to these gigs then fear not! You can still be involved. All you will need is a Webcam (fairly good quality please) or a video camera and do a 1min (maximum) video of yourself beginning with
I love Dashboard Confessional Because:
And then explain why!
If you feel you could help out or would like to help out in any other aspect then feel free to email us with ideas, your videos and saying if you'd like to be interviewed to
wishfulthinkerproductions@gmail.com
Or reply here with your email and we will contact you in due course!

Eric & Courtney
I received this email from Eric (25) and Courtney (26) from Gilbert, AZ who got engaged during a rendition of 'Hands Down' at a D/C concert! This it they're story:
"My wife, Courtney, and I have been following Dashboard since the beginning. The first tattoos we ever got were a declaration to our love for one another and Dashboard. We actually got engaged during 'Hands Down' at a Dash concert and it is "our song". So a few months after we got married we got tattoos together. We both got the record adapter logo and she got the first line of the song winding down here arm and I got the last line across my chest. Their music has meant a great deal to us as a couple. It had guided us through times and helped us celebrate. The other Dashboard tattoo is the Shade of Poison Trees apple I have on my arm. When the band sent out emails months before the album including nothing more than that apple logo itself I was pumped. I found out this was for sure the album cover art and that same week (before I heard a note of the album) I got it inked on me. I did it as a declaration to my trust and faith in the band. I knew I could trust Chris and the band to always produce music that means a great deal to me. I was correct and "The Shade of Poison Trees" is an album that Courtney and I hold very close to heart."
Love em! Thanks for sharing guys.

Yvonne
Got this awesome tat and story through from Yvonne over at our MySpace (www.myspace.com/thisoldwoundtattoos)
"this tattoo is an ugly one^^ but a reminder of the best event in my life - Seeing D/C live and meeting Chris and the guys. I decided to get one because Chris is able to show me with his words and music what the reason is to live. His music is hurt, pain and the amazingly firework you feel inside that comes with love and happiness. Although I did not experience all of these things like he did it he makes me able to feel it that way and to somehow know what it would feel like. His music is a big part of my life or better one big reason to keep me alive...waiting for the next song and the next show and so on...I ♥ this tattoo and I will work it out to make it better ;)"
Thanks Yvonne

Celeste
Kari the lead lady at 'This Old Wound' passed on Celeste's tattoo to me. Unfortunately Celeste lost contact with us so i don't know her last name or have a proper personal story to post but it's just such a great tat and a shame to not put up so here it is! (Celeste drop us a line sometime DBCTattoo@gmail.com)
Celeste, 21, from texas!
"I was actually lucky enough to show chris my tattoo in october when he played in houston. and he mentions my tattoo on his myspace blog.
its of a cassette tape with the tape unraveling saying "ender will save us".
a few months ago this guy from the dc website found me on myspace and told me how he had met chris and they were talking about dashboard tattoos and chris had a picture of the dashboard tattoo i got on his cell phone and said his brother showed it to him on the website and he took a photo of it because it was his favorite dashboard tattoo. so if you read his blog he mentions the most original one he had seen yet but "must admitt i had seen it before on the website" =)
i came up with the idea but cant draw at all a friend who does my tatttoos was able to put it together for me. my idea his art work. im glad i got it tho. dashboard has had such an impact on my life."
Awesome!
Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from everyone hear at the 'DC Tattoos' site.

Allison Baker
Got this sent to me a while back from Allison Baker. Sorry it slipped past me for a while!
"Hey there, my name's Allie and i'm 18 from Cape Cod, MA. This is the brotat i share with Stacey, Christina, and Brian. Stacey explained most of our story... we decided to get this tattoo on the way to one of the many shows that we go to together. We were all talking about how Dashboard has saved us, and made us better, so the line from End of an Anchor fit perfectly. This tattoo is an every day reminder of how much Dashboard means to me, and to all of us. thanks for making this site!"
An awesome brotat! Love it!

Danielle Calderone
A simplisctic yet awesome Tattoo sent in from Danielle Calderone:
Hey! My name is Danielle, and I live in Illinois. I I have been aware of Dashboard for the last 7 or 8 years, but I haven't been a true fan until the last year. Because I'm older and have gone through a lot more, I can relate to Chris' lyrics as of late. So it's just been in the last year that I have really gotten attached to dashboard confessional. I always wanted a tattoo, I just never knew what. I was on the way to Summerfest, and it just came to me. There are tons of personal reasons why I got this tattoo, and it does have multiple meanings, but it all stems from my love for Dashboard confessional. I'm planning on a bigger one as a tribute to dashboard, but I haven't figured out just what and where I want it. I love Dashboard Confessional and I love this damn tattoo! It's on my left wrist.
Awesome tat Danielle! Thanks!

Not only is this great promotion for the site but it's a great way to meet up with like-minded dashboard fans and meet loads of new people!
