It is a real work of art!
ESC singer Chris Harms (43) from the dark rock band Lord Of The Lost sings for Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday. But not only his voice impresses, also the more than 100 tattoos on his body.
The legs of “Lord Of The Lost” singer Chris Harms (middle) are also tattooed
He got his first tattoo – a tribal on the shoulder blade – at the age of 18 in Hamburg’s oldest tattoo parlour. Since then, new ones have been added every year.
Harms immortalized important stages of life as tattoos on his hands, as well as fundamental observations of life.
At BILD, Chris Harms explains his tattoos on his hands.
ANJA & MIKA
Mika is Chris Harm’s son
Anja is Harm’s wife
“The two names on the wrists should be obvious and everyone knows who is behind them.”
It is his wife Anja, with whom he has been together for 16 years, and their son Mika (11)
X X IV X
The Roman numeral combination is dedicated to his passion for music
“The numbers are for October 24th. And that was in 1994. My first concert: Roxette in the sports hall in Hamburg. I realized that day that music is going to be my future.”

Two crosses are emblazoned over both thumbs of Chris
“The two crosses were part of our early Lord Of The Lost logo, they are our yin and yang, our spiritual balance. We are always looking for the tension between the poles.”
GIVE / TAKE
Chris has the words GIVE and TAKE on both hands
“Again, balance is the key here. Giving and taking, which only works if one thing, taking, does not predominate. I find it a beautiful symbol to have these words in your hands.”
Herz
Chris Harms shows his hearty middle finger
“A heart on the middle finger is a nice contrast. And if you point the finger at someone, it could also be a sign of love. But maybe that’s just something you can understand with my sense of humor…”
