2012-03 Promo Interviews and Performances

Here is the translation of the second article I posted today on page 11! It's the article from the German "Bravo"-magazine about Adam's tattoos! (I hope it's understandable!?! : )


Stars and their tattoos – Adam Lambert

“This is the meaning of my tattoos”
The singer explains his motives and which one he still plans …

High styled hair, streetwear-outfit, heavy boots – Adam Lambert looks like a real rockstar. And what may not lack in this case? Of course – Tattoos! The “Better than I know myself”-singer has four of these. But that’s not enough for him, like the 30-year-old told the “Bravo”. “I totally like Egyptian symbols like my Eye of Horus. I can’t really explain why.” And with a wink he says “Perhaps this preference comes from a previous life, who knows?” He always finds the ideas for his tattoos in his private environment like the one for his key-tattoo. “I discovered it on a painting in my home. Perhaps I will extend it with more elements of the painting.” You get to know everything about the meaning of the other tattoos on his right fore arm and on his hand on the left side of this page.


The texts of the pictures on the left say:

Key: “A friend of mine, Hans Haveron, is an artist. He painted me this giant picture that hangs in my home. The skeleton-key is a symbol in it. I find the motive supercool!”

Infinity-Symbol: “When you are on a stage there is an energy you share with the audience. It’s a kind of magic that goes back and forth in the room - in the form of an infinity-symbol!”

Eye of Horus: “The Eye of Horus is an Egyptian hieroglyph that means protection. I totally like everything Egyptian!” This motive was the first tattoo that Adam got - in spring 2009.

OOFTA: Adam and his boyfriend Sauli Koskinen (26) both got that tattoo in January 2012. “The word is a private joke of us two. It has the meaning of “Oh my God…”

The text of the small picture on the bottom (in the middle) says: Message to the readers of the “Bravo”. “Thank you all for your support and passion! So excited for you all to hear Trespassing!”

The text of the small picture below (right side) says: Ouch? You must be joking! In Los Angeles the musician gets his key-tattoo from the tattooist Kevin Lewis – and he is still grinning.

The text of the small picture on the bottom (right side) says: Adam told his tattoo-secrets to our “Bravo”-reporter Sarah.
