About Music Tattoos
Music tattoos give permanent form to a personal passion — a few bars of a song, a favorite instrument, a tribute to a musician, or symbolic notes and sound waves. For players and fans alike, few subjects feel more authentic.
- Instruments shine in realism or bold traditional
- Lyrics, notation and sheet music need a lettering specialist with clean, accurate hands
- Symbolic takes — sound waves of a loved one's voice, a treble clef, a vinyl record
- Proofread the words and verify any musical notation carefully — errors are common
- Forearms for instruments, ribs or collarbones for lyrics, upper arm for tributes
