Music Tattoos

This music tattoo is a really good example of tattoos used to show what someone loves to do, or has a passion for. This tattoo is more of a feminine tattoo, because of the colors and the overall design of the tattoo, and the shades of the colors used. This tattoo incorporates different shades of pink and purple, along with black and hues white. The music notes are black, with white edges, which emphasizes the shape and texture of the musical notes. The background is one huge music note, surrounded by smaller stars and a border. The entire background is a mix of pink and purple, and the lighter colors really bring out the darkness of the musical notes. The color mix of black, white, purple, and pink in a tattoo like this tattoo is uncommonly used, but the idea of a musical note tattoo is not. This tattoo is unique because of its mixture of colors, shapes, and shading, and the hidden musical note in the background. This type of tattoo is one of the perfect ways to express your love or interest in something. It is also a good way to support something you love.

Small Tattoo

The wrist is often the perfect place to put a small tattoo. That’s because the wrist is smaller and therefore accommodates a small tattoo design better. But, that’s not the only reason. It’s also because the wrist is a sensitive place to have ink done. So, of course a small tattoo would take less time and therefore take less time. Take a peek at the small tattoo in the picture. This individual has decided to get a small crown inked onto his wrist. Now, crown tattoos have several meanings but the most significant has to be as a symbol of royal power and authority. As a symbol, the crown also symbolizes leadership, and the rightful authority which comes from being elected by a group to serve as their leader. Just like the kings of old used to wear crowns on their head, the bearer of this tattoo has decided to wear a crown on his wrist. This small tattoo was done in black and white but it could have just easily have had color introduced into it. Of course, that would have taken just a little bit longer and would be more painful, so maybe this person made the right choice after all.

This small tattoo on the woman’s neck is probably the most discrete neck tattoo I have ever seen. See, normally I would advise in getting a neck tattoo because it’s very hard to disguise or hide. And then when you tried to get a job dealing with the public or were in something other situation where it was advantageous to hide the design you would be in trouble. But, this small tattoo of a heart is almost barely noticeable even when this woman’s hair is held up. And this small tattoo also has another advantage over other neck tattoos. It probably only took about five minutes, if that long, to get stenciled and inked into her skin. And I rather like the heart tattoo. It accentuates the natural beauty and curves of this woman’s neck. Getting a small tattoo like this on the nape of the neck might actually be something that you will continue to enjoy for years to come. Especially when you factor in that this part of the body changes very little over time. What other designs can you think of that will go unnoticed like this small heart?

Lion Tattoo

We are all familiar with lion tattoos. I think that most people have seen these tattoos either online or on an actual persons skin. But, not a whole lot of people are familiar with the symbolic meaning that these beast hold. So, let’s take a moment and take a look at the symbolism behind lion tattoos. Lions represent a whole host of traits which include strength, nobility and determination of spirit. But, lion tattoos can also represent courage, personal intensity and conquest. Of course with any animal that has a strong symbolic nature there are also some negative traits associated with the lion. These include vanity, pride and savagery. Also, the lion tattoo can have a religious meaning as well. It has come to symbolize Jesus Christ in almost every form of Christianity. And this is especially true when combined with a crucifix or crown tattoo. But, no matter what meaning you associate with the lion tattoo, it’s a design choice that identifies you as king of the jungle. And hopefully other people will view your new tattoo in that light as well. Now, who wouldn’t want a design like as a new tattoo addition or to complement an already established tattoo collection?
