The tattoos of staves have the musical language as their main design, that is, not only the five lines that make up the staff, but also all the notes that make up a song.
They are an ideal way to show your love for music and, in addition, to carry your favorite songs on your skin. Below we see this musical pattern in detail!
What is a pentagram?
A staff is a musical pattern (that is, a way of writing music that, if you know the language, teaches you how to play it) made up of five lines and four equal spaces and equidistant where to write down all the notes and musical symbols necessary to play a song.
It originated in the Middle Ages, thanks to Gregorian chant, and on the staff it is common to find symbols such as notes, rests (which mark when not to be played), clef (the most famous are G and F), measure and tempo (which indicates the speed at which the part is to be touched).
Some tattoo ideas

Pentagram tattoos, then, will also have these elements. Among the most popular tattoos, we find staves accompanied by the clef or some notes, in black and white or with a touch of color (the watercolor style works especially well). These tattoos are simple designs that are usually carried in small or narrow places on the body.
Another very cool option is to choose to get a whole song tattooed. Your personal taste or what a song conveys or reminds you plays an important role here. You can search for the score or contact a traditional musician to help you. Depending on the piece, it will have more or fewer elements (from the simplicity of a popular piece to the complexity of an opera aria, which even has different scores depending on the instrument), which will also play with the place where the tattoo will be better.
