The typography on these tattoos of the 1975’s lyrics truly leave us losing our words.

Whether it’s a logo, lyric or artwork…

 

So incredibly lucky that I was able to fly down to Florida this past weekend to see Underoath for the last show of their Rebirth tour. This band means everything to me and I am so grateful for @jkitsjk for making it all happen! This weekend was unforgettable, and there was no better way to end it than with a new tattoo!

These matching Paramore tattoos are a dream.

Because really, it’s all about the music that brings you together.

 

Music in our veins is what keeps us sane. For everything that 21 pilots has given us, and our entire journey as friends, we wanted to make it permanent and forever. Music can make things hurt less, and the best lyrics can help you realize answers about your life. We are twenty pilots and so are you. Thank you for beautiful work Bob, as always. #twentyonepilots #bestfriend #skeletonclique #musicisthedrug #tattoo #lyrics #carradio #goodvibetribe #festfam #radiatepositivity #family #vibeon #bestfriendtattoos

Twenty One Pilots say it best: “It's our hearts that make the beat.”
