My Color Music

In the last 10 years, tattoos have become really popular. I mean, it’s crazy. According to U.S. News & World Report, there are over 20,000 tattoo parlors in the United States with about one new studio opening every day. Polls show that around 16% of all adults have at least one tattoo. (And, no, I am not included in that number.)

What’s amazing is that in 1936, only 6% of the population had ink. Make no mistake about it, the tattoo industry is growing fast. And, of course, some of the people getting tattoos are music nerds. Like this guy:

Personally, I would never get a tattoo … it’s just not my style. But if I did, this one would be pretty sweet. I especially like that he included the song’s   I—II7sus—V7 chord progression right on his arm. Talk about liking a song. (And talk about keeping a tidy kitchen ….)

But I must admit I like that song, too. So, it makes me wonder—what kind of tattoo would you choose? And which lyrics would you want to permanently etch into your skin? Seriously … let me know.
