Meaning and sketches of a tattoo in the form of a guitar

Any symbol performed by tattoo artists has different interpretation options, which depend on the image of a part or a whole, additional attributes and its location. A guitar tattoo can be interpreted in different ways, but it has long been established that such preferences are characteristic of music lovers, fans of a certain musical style, or simply creative people, prone to romanticism, subtle spiritual movements, striving to achieve harmony between the external and internal world.

A guitar tattoo is a collective term for a body tattoo from a musical series. People tend to express different preferences - for images of animals, symbols and pantheons of Greek or Egyptian culture. Pictures with musical instruments are also chosen very often.

Interesting interpretations, which means this or that figure, its constituent parts, allows a person to decide on the choice and purpose of applying:

• in female perception, the guitar is a symbol of happiness and harmony or a call for lightness in any love relationship;
• for a musician - a symbol of talent, good luck, the embodiment of hard work necessary to achieve creative heights;
• guitar with wings - the choice of rebellious, freedom-loving natures, proclaiming the desire for freedom, free life, creative flight;
• a man who has chosen a guitar in a symbolic image, for example, a neck with strings, positions himself as a generous and open nature, or informs the world that he has achieved inner harmony.

Additional trappings rarely give a guitar a sinister meaning, except for the skeleton guitar, which was chosen as a distinctive sign by the representatives of the Mexican gang. Skull and guitar - A common indication of a motorcycle or rocker penchant. Everything else - sheet music, treble clefs, stars, an instrument together with a musician - is considered open information about involvement in creativity and music.

There are additional attributes for fans of rock bands - emblems, inscriptions, cassettes, headphones, microphone. All this only underlines the penchant for music.

Such a tattoo requires deliberation, correlation with other images (if they are already on the body), not only in terms of style, but also in size and colors:

• you can choose a small instrument, medium size, on a grand scale;

• the guitar can be whole or in the form of a structural element, inscribed in a volumetric composition with other components;
• particular importance is attached to the drawing due to the choice of a specific type of musical instrument: an electric guitar - for a rocker, an acoustic guitar for a romantic and a lover of touching entourage, a bass guitar for fans of concerts, parties or a bass player;
• small, but unusual in shape - neutral, suitable for any person who loves music and this instrument, in particular, its appearance may indicate a person's musical predilections.

There are certain conditions when choosing the main tone of the image. Yellow - associated with sunlight, black - with magical attributes, red - with passion and dynamism, pink - with female romanticism. A green image indicates spiritual development, and a blue one - for fortitude and extreme organization. White is not common because it symbolizes purity and innocence, and such qualities, by definition, are not characteristic of lovers of passionate guitar music.

Do not forget about the right choice of style. The most common are thrash polka, dotwork, old school and realism. However, you can also find images made in watercolors, geometry, biomechanics or patchwork.

Sometimes a portrait of a certain person is pierced along with the guitar. It is important here to achieve maximum similarity with the object of worship, to provide for characteristic details or inscriptions. In the style of new school, for example, a musician is portrayed as a cartoon or a character in a humorous picture.

There are certain restrictions for this tattoo - it is considered a disregard for the instrument to place it on the legs. Tattoo artists note that those who want to create such a pattern on the leg are rare, but recently, few people have already paid attention to the previously appeared conventions, therefore, at the request of the client, the guitar can also be performed on the leg.

Traditional, well-established areas for the formation of a pattern:

• on the shoulder, forearm and shoulder blade - voluminous, large-scale, oblong and colored guitars, with attributes that are suggested to the future owner by imagination or sketches proposed for consideration;
• both a small drawing and a medium size are appropriate on the hand, the guitar, depicted in a realistic style, looks beautiful, black, schematic, but with carefully traced details;
• the same rule works with a tattoo on the wrist, but it can be a continuation of another, voluminous one, starting from the shoulder;
• girls are advised to depict the guitar on their back, side or hip - a large color image looks impressive.

There are many perfectly conceived, expertly executed and varied versions of guitar tattoos, each of which is a real work of art.

• The shoulder and forearm are the traditional place for a musical instrument. Here he looks advantageous and aesthetically pleasing, does not shock or shock the viewer.

• The female body leaves room for imagination - from a small picture to a three-dimensional panel on the hip or back.

• Men are characterized by a predilection for realistic images, sometimes incomplete, hinting, but with carefully traced details.

• When choosing a tattoo with color schemes, do not forget about the meaning of each tone used.

• Patchwork and watercolor is a purely feminine tattoo, it looks cute and romantic, it can be on an always open part of the body or displayed in a certain season due to an open T-shirt, a triangular cutout.

Before making a decision, you need to consider the correspondence with other tattoos, choose a single style constant, determine the symbolism and information content.
