Chris Martins left hand!

[shivvy]

Is that a tattoo on his hand?

Is it something to do with Fair Trade?

Does he always wear white bands round 2 of his fingers too?!

Just wondering!

[squirtle]

I'm not sure exactly what they represent but apparently he has all these bits of tape on his hands which all mean something significant to him. He's a bit strange i think anyhow.

i saw them as well whilst watching mtv europe music awards and thought blimey. but i heard a rumour that the two bands represent one his wife, gwyneth paltrow and the other his daughter, apple martin. awww bless!Hope this helps!

from the FAQ on coldplay.com:

it's not a tattoo. it's the equals sign representing fair trade. he used to have maketradefair.com written in pen. sometimes there are also names to remind him of dedications.

he now wears coloured tape round his fingers representing X&Y

[shivvy]

Thanks all.

Just one more thing . . . . .

Remind me - how does wearing coloured tape round his fingers represent X&Y again?!

look at the album cover of x & y and you'll know how the tape represents it! dodamaksoud xx
