Tattooed Millionaire is a heavy metal album released in 1990 (see 1990 in music) by Bruce Dickinson. It is his first solo album.
The album project began when Bruce was asked to record a song for the fifth Nightmare on Elm Street-movie, which became the song called Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter. Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist, Janick Gers, Bruce began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Maiden, sounding much more rock-ish. "Bring your Daughter..." was not included in the original album but Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying which, ironically, became the band's only number-1 single to date. The intro to the song "No Lies" is also reminiscent of Maiden's version of Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter. The song "Tattooed Millionaire" is written about Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx (as told in Sixx's book, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life of a Shattered Rock Star"). Dickinson reportedly hates Sixx because Sixx had sex with his wife while Motley Crue was touring in Europe (Sixx tells his version of the story in "The Dirt").
