Tattoos & Tequila is the third solo studio album by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil. It is his first solo release in 7 years since the live album Live at the Whisky: One Night Only in 2003 and first solo studio album in 15 years since 1995's Carved in Stone. It is also Neil's first solo project as the current lead singer of Mötley Crüe.

Background

The album is largely made up of covers of 1970s rock songs, with only a couple of original tracks thrown in: the title track "Tattoos & Tequila", written by Marti Frederiksen, which was released as the first single, and "Another Bad Day", written by Nikki Sixx, James Michael and Tracii Guns. Neil described the album has having "nothing to do with Motley Crue... Tattoos and Tequila is basically my life".

Tattoos and Tequila was recorded with current Slaughter members Jeff Blando (guitar), Dana Strum (bass) and drummer Zoltan Chaney.

The album is a soundtrack to the book Vince released in the same year, "Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen". Each song on the record corresponds with a chapter in the book. The album titled track was released as a single for the album.

As stated in an interview conducted with Nikki Sixx on Sixx Sense radio, the track, "Another Bad Day" was originally slated for Mötley Crüe, but was dropped, mainly because drummer Tommy Lee hated the title of the song.

In 2010, Vince played "Another Piece of Meat" onstage with the hard rock band Scorpions.
