It must feel like the ultimate form of flattery for pop stars to find out that die-hard fans have had their song lyrics inked on their bodies, and some singers (ahem, Lady Gaga) have so strongly believed in their own work, that they have gotten tattoos dedicated to their own album titles and favorite tracks. It makes sense that some people would have such an emotional connection to certain song lyrics though, and as tattoos become more and more mainstream in today’s world, it’s not surprising that fan tattoos inspired by pop stars’ song lyrics have become so popular. Check out these awesome tattoos dedicated to music that has obviously had a lasting impact on these devoted fans’ lives.
