![]() ![]() The artist layers circles of different sizes that use different line techniques: some are solid, some start and stop, and some incorporate stippling and dots. This is an interesting design that uses concentric circles and fine lines to create an abstract guitar tattoo that evokes images of blueprints and schematics. While this style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, there is no doubt that this piece holds special significance to the wearer and will show off their love of music to the world. The “ghetto blaster” is an iconic image-although younger generations might wonder what the cassette player is for-and the incorporation of a baseball bat and the illustrative technique give this design a loose, graffiti-like feel. This piece takes an interesting design and uses a relaxed technique to create a unique tattoo. This will serve as a tribute to one of the most influential musical instruments of the last 75 years. The straight lines forming the neck are flawless and the curves on the body are smooth and even, almost giving the impression that the artist pulled the entire piece in one, fluid motion. While this is a simple design, the stakes are high and in the hands of a lesser artist this could end up a disaster. It is an excellent choice thanks to the unmistakable lines, and here the artist perfectly captures this singular shape. Here, the subject is a Fender Stratocaster, one of the most identifiable and iconic guitars in the history of rock and roll and the preferred instrument of everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Kurt Cobain. ![]() This piece will serve as a great commemoration of the wearer’s love for music and for art in general. This piece also uses a much looser outline than other similar pieces and utilizes implied lines and negative space to accurately capture the impression of a guitar without using a realistic style. The artist uses themes common in abstract art-the bending neck of the guitar and superimposing the color over the guitar without sticking to the exact outline-to create a more interesting tattoo. Here is another great example of a stylized bass guitar, this one using a limited color palette to add a bit more flare than other, similar designs that use only black and gray ink. This piece goes to show what a talented artist can do with a bit of black ink and a solid concept for a tattoo. ![]() The skeleton hands are well-executed and the artist’s choice to only use the fingers of the skeleton on the fretting hand helps to keep a balanced composition without detracting from the piece as a whole. The artist uses clean line work to create this playful design that doesn’t need shading to make for an interesting tattoo. This is a great black and gray tattoo that takes a simple concept and perfectly executes it. ![]() If you’re a huge admirer of music and want to show it, the arms and back of the legs are popular areas. Simple music tattoos are pretty flexible so they can be placed pretty much anywhere on the body. Not everyone likes a big tattoo, so many turn to simplistic music tattoo designs like one specific note or treble clef, a minimalistic guitar or piano, or a lyrical quote from their favorite song. Music can be a huge part of someone’s life, and a tattoo that represents their love for it both symbolizes its importance to them and their will to love or play music forever, the same time a tattoo lasts. Some guys like to get music instrument tattoos such as microphones for those who like to sing, or guitars for those who like to play it. Many gentlemen get music tattoos because they can easily tie their emotions and memories to it, so whenever they hear a certain song, they get to relive that moment once again. This can be anything from a line of music notes from their favorite song, an adored instrument, or even a beloved music artist. A happy tune can get anyone out of bed in the morning, but for music lovers and artists, they take their appreciation for music one step further with a simple music tattoo. ![]()
