And not just any old phonograph, but a Paillard Maestrophone No. 205 with hot-air Stirling engine motor, and (rare) correct original horn. Good taste.

Good taste... Oh, yes.
Hardcore... Definitely.
Collector... No, but it would have helped.

Here is the Paillard Maestrophone 205

No harm in exercising artistic license for use the the right arm.

Now, if he were really serious, he'd have to have that altered - to put the soundbox on the right side of the record.

(BTW, did the tattoo artist use a Soft, Medium or Loud needle?) :P
