An image purportedly showing Jimi Hendrix covered in tattoos while riding in a dune buggy with an unidentified woman was recirculated on social media after it was posted to the Twitter account â€œOld Pics Archiveâ€ on 24 October 2017: The tattoos featured in this photograph are fake, which doesnâ€™t make the rock star any less of a bad-ass.Â The original photograph was taken on 6 October 1968 in Honolulu, Hawaii and showed Hendrix, sans tattoos, riding in a dune buggy. Hereâ€™s a comparison of the doctored image (left) and theÂ original photograph (right): In addition to the source photograph, the â€œtattooâ€ picture can also be debunked by the simple fact that Hendrix did not have any obvious tattoos, as evidenced by a series of images taken by photographer Donald Silverstein that featured the guitarist without a shirt on: < Great cover image of Jimi Hendrix and Donald Silverstein on Jimpress 104http://t.co/uZgfUJTdV1 pic.twitter.com/DWkMMuUzxt â€” Guy White (@snapgalleries) August 16, 2014 >
