An elaborate back tattoo makes an impressive and unforgettable statement and is an excellent way to show your devotion or represent meaningful symbols such as music. Before getting a back tattoo, there are several considerations to remember.
Spine
Back tattoos are an increasingly popular choice for men, creating an air of masculinity and machismo. Tribal designs featuring intricate, interweaved curved lines can add an irreverent edge to any piece.
Crosses
Crosses make great back tattoos. They are sacred symbols for religious men, and their versatility allows you to mix them with other elements to create something truly original.
Design Selection
As with any tattoo, selecting a design you will enjoy for years is paramount. Additionally, back Tattoos tend to fade more slowly due to being covered up most of the time; therefore, be sure to wear loose clothing that won’t rub against your new back tattoo and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every two hours to keep its beauty at its best!
Music
Music Tattoos can be an expressive way of showing your passion for music. Tattoo designs featuring musical notation like bass or treble clefs, bars and measures with notes, or any other aspect that resonates with you are an increasingly popular way for musicians to show their dedication.
Cassette Tape
Get a cassette tape tattoo if you prefer retro designs or were born during the 80s and 90s! A cassette tape design can also serve as a compelling tribute to deceased musicians or show your admiration for an album that resonates with you. Tattooing your favorite lyrics or quotes is another creative way of showing them off, whether in tribute to a musical partner or to honor an extended friendship or relationship.
Nature
If you love nature, a tattoo featuring its beauty can be the perfect way to show it. From trees and mountains, rivers and flowers – your imagination can bring to life any images for your back tattoo design!
Phoenix
Phoenixes, as symbolic creatures, symbolize renewal and rebirth. Affixed on men who have endured hardship or overcome serious issues, these Tattoos are potent symbols of strength and perseverance – while looking great with large inking. Therefore, they’re an ideal choice for back tattoos!
Art
Back Tattoos provide you with a large canvas for creating art with intricate detail, whether in landscape, daily scene, or portrait designs. Add colors or shading for more depth – however, remember that back Tattoos tend to age slower due to reduced sun exposure!
Design Consultation
If you are seeking a full-back piece, consult with your tattoo artist about what you envision for its overall design. Deliberate over which colors to use and whether delicate linework or bold shading best represents what you desire. Identify subjects like landscapes, animals, scenic views, or Japanese aesthetics before working with an artist specializing in these styles.
Pain Management
As every individual has a different pain threshold, try our numbing cream to help soothe discomfort during and after tattooing. Remember to moisturize afterward to protect your tattoo and reduce cell activity, as dry skin can reduce cellular activity, leading to potential bacterial infections.
