More Info On Chester Bennington:
- Chester has a tattoo on his left calf muscle of the soldier with wings from
the "Hybrid Theory" CD cover. The flames on his arms represent the Aries part
of his fire sign. His left shoulder has a Piscean symbol and a Japanese Koi
carp on his right. His back piece is six arms spread out and was done by his
friend who said it was a visual representation of how Chester reaches out
and grabs the audience. All of Chester's tattoos symbolize something. His
left hand has his engagement finger tattooed and his wife, Samantha, has the
same tattoo. And they did it before Pamela and Tommy Lee. They got tattoos
because Chester couldn't afford a ring and his friend (Sean from Grey Daze)
