First up is a tattoo inspired by Porter Robinson’s Worlds album art. This album evokes deep emotions, and the artwork is representative of that. Porter is such a genuine artist, and if you’ve ever caught one of his live shows, you know a tattoo dedicated to his work is worth it.

Every aspect of this tattoo is great: the concept, Odesza’s symbol, the color work, and the music it represents. Fun fact: their symbol is a 2D version of an icosahedron, a dimensional shape with 20 faces, all equilateral triangles. The icosahedron is also associated with enhancing the creative thought process!

Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy sessions are so powerful, and a colorful tattoo like this is an awesome reminder that you got to experience one.

Getting a tattoo in honor of an artist that has passed away is a way to show your respect and admiration for everything they contributed to the music scene. This Avicii tattoo embodies his music’s message very well.

This Deadmau5 tattoo is so cool- and the geometric shapes could be a nod to his new and impressive Cube production.

As the wise Rafiki once said, “Any story worth telling is worth telling twice”. So, does that mean any set worth seeing is worth seeing twice? We think so!

An Excision tattoo is a great idea for the ultimate headbanger. The industrial design here would impress Jeff himself!

This tattoo reminds us that Basslights totally happened, and it was awesome enough to get inked. Besides, why not combine two of the best?!

We love this Tomorrowland tattoo, and the influence of the Vitruvian Man in the design is very creative.

We love this tattoo dedicated to EDC! Insomniac puts on one of the most impressive music festivals known to EDM, so a tattoo to commemorate your experience there is only fitting.

 

Afterthoughts

As you experience new artists and shows, new tattoo ideas tend to emerge. There is no feeling like becoming inspired after an amazing concert or listening to an album from your favorite electronic music artist for the first time. Music is a driving force that connects us all, and tattoos dedicated to these larger ideas can further the connection.

Hopefully, this collection of tattoos will inspire you to express yourself today, no ink or needle necessary!
