Music Tattoos, Designs- A music enthusiast may pick a similar style.

A music enthusiast may pick a similar style. However, it is not uncommon for them to express their appreciation of a favorite musician. Most bands use a font that is particular to them; this font can be used in a descriptive figure — such as the band’s logo — or simply by tattooing the band’s name in an identical font.

One of the most popular music tattoos are musical notes. The treble clef is used most frequently; the beautiful curves make this a stylish design. The bass clef is also used, though less frequently. It is understandable why these two signs should be so common, as they indicate the pitch of any particular score, and set the undertone to every song.

Music Tattoos- with music tattoos.

Music has always been a strong part of history and culture. For this reason, many people choose to express their love of music — either as a musician, or an enthusiast — with music tattoos.

The musician will often choose music tattoos that reflect their own part in the musical process such as their instrument (guitar, drums, etc.), or musical notes. Some will even go as far as to tattoo large areas of their body with sheet music of a song with personal importance to them.

Geisha Tattoos- the most popular pieces in Asian influenced body art.

Geisha can be translated into ‘artist’; geishas themselves are seen as some of the most exotic, graceful, sensual and talented artists in the world; and although they are one of many remarkable symbols, geisha tattoos have become one of the most popular pieces in Asian influenced body art.

Many people like to use geisha tattoos that utilize the entire splendor of a traditional geisha or maiko (an apprentice whose appearance differs slightly from a full-fledged geisha).


These are generally done in a portrait style, and depict the elegant figure with a porcelain-white complexion; small, brightly colored and bow-like lips; brilliantly hued kimono and one of the four shimada hairstyles (most commonly a style called ‘momoware,’ which looks something like a divided peach, and bears a good deal of colorful ornamentation).

Geisha Tattoos: Japanese Tattoo Art

Kanji Tattoos- is intended in that language.

Kanji tattoos are tattoos utilizing Japanese writing. The Kanji is one of the oldest writing styles in Japan and the unique, stylized figures make excellent tattoos.

However, be aware of the literal translations when selecting the Kanji lettering. As with any foreign language, literal translations don’t always work or they won’t mean what is intended in that language.

Patience, serenity, loyalty, love, strength, determination and other keywords are all available in Kanji symbols and make great Kanji tattoos.


The Japanese alphabet does not strictly translate into the Standard English alphabet. Therefore, going for a direct translation of an American or English name to Kanji won’t work.
