ABSTRACT

As with most youth subcultures, many psychobillies sport body piercings and tattoos. Typical psycho tattoos are symbols of luck, such as playing cards, horseshoes, and shamrocks. Psychos also have images of rockabilly heroes tattooed on their bodies. Devils and demons driving hot-rod cars are another popular theme. Many women get tattoos of devil-women. It is common for psycho men and women to get their entire arms and backs tattooed.
