Bill took it dead seriously. Before the first record was even released, before anyone could be certain that this thing was going to be successful or not, Bill Kaulitz called up David Jost one evening: I am going to get the Tokio Hotel logo tattooed on the back of my neck, an intricate T and H.
“Man, you’re crazy, I told him, what if it doesn’t work out, and you have to run around forever with this thing on your neck!” Jost tells us. But Bill stayed calm. “He just said: I am this, I want this, and I represent this. Even if we don’t become successful.” There is a silence in David Jost’s story. If this was a movie scene, the strings would start playing.
