14 amazing tattoos inspired by lyrics

Let’s be honest, the feeling of a tattoo needle on skin can be downright addicting. And there’s almost nothing more satisfying than showing off some new art to all your friends. But before you make an appointment at your local shop, you have to figure out exactly what you want. You can let your tattoo artist bring your idea to life, design something yourself or simply press play on your favorite song and pick the line that speaks to you the most—just like these music-fiends did. There’s never a bad time to start brainstorming, so let these lyric-based tats serve as inspiration for your next session.
