Music Tattoo Designs

Musical tattoos, whether music notes, bands, instruments, whatever, aren't the most popular type of tattoo, butb at the same time they are somewhat popular.

Many musicians and fans will have tattoos of a musical essence, but of course not all of them.

Music is a great form of expression and is designed to help you get out your emotions before their completely pent up and you explode. Tattoos are also a great form of expression, so why not mix the two up a little?

Cross Tattoo Designs

There are many reasons why you may consider getting a cross tattoo. There are also many designs and styles for you to choose from.

You may consider a more religious approach, in which you may want to feature Jesus Christ, angels, a purple sash, thorns, or rosary beads.

Or, you may consider a tribal approach with thick black designs, or a celtic approach with woven designs.

In any sense cross tattoos can be as elaborate or simplicistic as you want. Just remember that with any tattoo, it is permanent, so be happy with the design before the needle hits your skin.

Kanji tattoos are pretty popular amongst those who are tattooed. They're fairly simple designed tattoos, and can range from different languages. Usually, though, you'll see Kanji symbols in terms of Chinese and oriental characters.

The one big thing that you want to consider when you get a kanji tattoo is that the characters mean what you think they mean. It's recommended that you check with someone who fluently speaks and writes the language of choice.

Portrait Tattoos

If you're interested in creating a memorial of a beloved friend, family member, or pet, why not consider a tattoo. This allows you beloved to be with you no matter what- through thick and thin.

Portrait tattoos require a good deal of details, so finding a clear, crisp photo is a must!

Try to find a picture that is at least 3 inches by 3 inches.

Also, when considering the size of the tattoo, remember that the smaller the tattoo the fewer details and the less the quality you will get.

Wings can be small or large, depending on your personal tastes. They can be on you thigh, calf, shoulder, arm, nape, or back. Most wing tattoos are on the back, as to wear them like the angels.

Animal Tattoos

Animal Tattoos are very popular amongst those who are tattooed. One can use an animal tattoo to symbolize a turning point, achieving a goal, or a characteristic that one chooses to hold high.

I, personally, have one animal tattoo. It is the APBT that is posted above. Although, currently only an outline, it will be shaded in due time. I felt the need to get a tattoo of an American Pit Bull Terrier because of several reasons. (1) It represents my first APBT, Chance, who was stolen from me in 2005. (2) It represents all APBT's that I will have until I die. (3) It represents courage, strength, devotion, and loyalty, all characteristics that I hope to one day have as inbred as the APBT.

But, in any case, animals represent more than just a living being.

First Tattoo

When choosing your first tattoo, you need to consider everything.

Design

Artist

You will want to have some idea of where and what you want before going to see the tattoo artist. There are so many different designs that you can look at, so the options are infinite.

Make your first tattoo meaningful.
Make it stand out in your life.


My first tattoo (picture above) is that of my first APBT. He was stolen from me on December 23, 2006. On his first birthday, I went and had his name and a pawprint tattoo on my inner right wrist. It will be a time that I will never forget, and a tatto that I will never regret. The tattoo is a part of my healing process.
