Lynyrd Skynyrd members, like many rock musicians, have had tattoos that carry personal significance, often reflecting their Southern roots, musical influences, or band loyalty. Here's a look at some notable tattoos among the band members:
1. **Ronnie Van Zant**: The original lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ronnie was known for his "Free Bird" tattoo on his right arm, a tribute to the band's famous song. He also had a "LS" tattoo, representing Lynyrd Skynyrd, and an eagle tattoo, which symbolized freedom and the band's Southern heritage.
2. **Gary Rossington**: As the band's guitarist and one of its founding members, Gary had several tattoos, including a rose on his left arm, which was a tribute to his wife, Dale Krantz-Rossington. He also had a tattoo of the band's logo, showing his deep connection to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
3. **Johnny Van Zant**: Ronnie's younger brother, who became the lead singer after the 1977 plane crash, also had a number of tattoos. Johnny has a "Free Bird" tattoo similar to his brother's and other tattoos that reflect his Southern pride and personal beliefs, including crosses and American flags.
4. **Rickey Medlocke**: Rickey, who was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 1970s before rejoining in the 1990s, has several tattoos as well. These include Native American imagery, reflecting his heritage, and other designs that symbolize his journey in the music world.
5. **Artimus Pyle**: The drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus, has a few tattoos that are personal to him, including designs that honor his military service and his deep respect for Southern culture.
These tattoos often serve as reminders of the band's legacy, their Southern roots, and the personal experiences that have shaped their lives.
