Bass tattoo ideas

Samthebassist · #1 05-07-2011, 11:17 PM

I wanna get a tattoo on my side, like a mural. I want it to be based on music and bass. I'm desperate for ideas.

So ideas?

Ps- side tattoos are sexy, especially on girls

There are several bass tattoo threads you can search - and here's a page with a bunch of links bass tattoo - Google Search

I agree - women with lots of ink are sexy

as a man with ink dating a girl with ink, i will say that ink can be sexy when tasteful.

to the OP, i'm of the mind that one should have a great strong idea of what one wants before one gets it. knowing where it goes is at most 5% of the whole ordeal. think long and hard about everything you're planning on getting on you. once you've taken the time and know it's not a rash decision (in either the placement or the design), then rock the hell out with your inked self!!

+1. Well said.

Yeah, take your time. As Gecko 5 says, will you still be as enthusiastic about it in ten years time ? Personally, I don't like any decoration that I cant take off or put on at will.

Several liquid molten looking bass clef's shooting down from storm clouds would be cool. Symbolizing thunder as the bass sound.

Sam - if you want ink, get ink. I had my backpiece done as a 30th b'day gift to myself and could not be happier with it. Do what you want to do

Might be good to plan this a bit - you WILL change shape... You WILL get older... Get a tat, but try not to get one that will look pathetic when you're 40...

make sure that you keep a close relationship between the tattoo artist, and whoever is designing the tattoo (assuming it isnt the artist). also, make sure you get something that isnt too intricate that itll turn into a smudge or blur in a couple years. a mediocre artist will not give you good advice in this area. some places over charge, but you also, to some degree, get what you pay for.

+1 for location.

once you know that, think about angles and whatnot. on your side rib area, you have a ton of room. how much coverage do you want? how many people do you want to consult for designs? i would wait a couple years to get it all ironed out, but i also designed all my stuff. i like that route. if you hate it, you can only blame yourself.
