Tattoos and rock'n'roll. Remembering our idols

We all like rock, and if you don't like it… too bad, it should. And it is that tattoos and rock'n'roll seem to go hand in hand. A lot of singers or members of rock groups are tattooed. It seems that the symbiosis between tattoos and rock'n'roll is something magical, as if giving more power to something that already has enough nerve. Imagine for a moment James Hetfield (Metallica) or Axl Rose (Guns'n'Roses) without their tattoos. Or Melendi (sarcasm). Jokes aside, it wouldn't be the same ...

Many are the rockers who get tattooed, although curiously some seem (and it is probable) that they have got the tattoo in any club and with a good stone. On the other hand, the fans are much more dedicated, if we have to do it, we do it in a big way. 

It's not unusual that we want to shape something as abstract as a song. After all, a song is not just a song, It's your first love or your first disappointment (you fucking bastard you broke my heart). It could be that drunkenness where you almost ended up spending the night in the dungeon. It can symbolize your best friend or your most cruel adversary. Maybe it reflects your best or worst moment, whatever the music is, it leaves its mark on us.

So if you are thinking of giving color to the music, here are some ideas.

Types of tattoos

Pictures:

If you can afford it and you are sure you want to dedicate a good piece of your body to that group or singer, a portrait is the most successful. Best always in black and shaded, gives more realism and that touch of morriña that always looks good.

Song lyrics:

Perhaps the most selective, those who know exactly what is the phrase that marked a before and after, this is the right tattoo. Simple but concrete. Perhaps the best option. The most logical thing is to tattoo the lyrics or a phrase of a song. Also why not, the tablature or the score of a piece of the musical piece (let's not go overboard because you can run out of space ...). Both could be elegant and discreet at the same time, if you like.

Group symbols:

Maybe you have so much attachment to a group and so much devotion that you probably cannot choose a component or a song, the most appropriate bet is to get the band's logo tattooed. Another option is to use a feature image from a disc. No matter the size or the area of ​​the body, wearing the characteristic symbol of the group always looks good. Here I always recommend tattooing them in color. Give it your all and show off your favorite group.

And for the most discreet ...

We know that sometimes it is very difficult to choose between such a variety of groups. Maybe music represents everything for you, whatever style it is. If you also want something more intimate, small, something just yours, this is a very good idea. Treble clefs, sheet music, musical notes… Something generic but at the same time concise.

And as a last tip ...

For God's sake, find out who's who and don't mess with her spelling. And let's hope that the tattoo artist also has the criteria to correct if necessary, that is, he has a bit of a musical culture. It is not cool to look ignorant, musically speaking.

And you know, as the title of a very good Rollings album said ... Tattoo You
