Quote #7

'Never. You don't put a bumper sticker on a Mercedes-Benz. I've always been the antithesis of what's popular. If you can go into a library and the girl in there has her nipples pierced and chained together with a bunch of shrunken heads hanging off her eyebrow, then it's gotten pretty boring. If I go into the hospital and the doctor has a face tattoo and a goatee I'm out of there. I have nothing against people who have tattoos. I think body art is beautiful. In fact, a full page of the Megadeth website is devoted to people with body art. But for me, I'm 42 so if I had a tattoo, a couple of decades from now it's going to be a purple lump on my ass.' -interview on why he doesn't have any tattoos
