Lyric Tattoo Ideas to Keep Your Favorite Song With You Forever

Tattoo trends come and go, but having your favorite quote or phrase permanently inked on your skin is timeless — and can feel even more meaningful. The power of the written word is something music and art lovers especially understand, as certain song lyrics can describe all your feelings and hold melodic memories that you'll want to treasure forever. Whether you've always had a passion for music or a new set of lyrics just recently spoke to you, having a tattoo that represents your favorite song is cooler than ever.

Of course, the sentimentality of song lyrics vary greatly depending on each person, but there are some that are so universal — like classic favorites from The Beatles and Rolling Stones to newer hits from Beyonce or Billie Eilish — they make great inspiration for body art. If you're a musician yourself and want a design that's more personal to you than a music note symbol, or there are certain songs that simply remind you of important people or memories in your life, consider these lyric tattoo examples for inspiration ahead.
