Bach Fan Tattoo

Posted on by

So I discovered recently that sometimes people get music tattoos that aren’t the HIM logo or something Slipknot related! Anji from High Priestess in Eugene, OR sent this one in;

“She’s a musician, she plays classical music, and she loves Bach. So we did an exact copy of his signature on her. The ink is black mixed down with a little brown, so as it heals it will look warm, like olde timey calligraphy ink. I really like this tattoo — sometimes the little stuff is my favorite.”

I agree, and I really like the subtle touch of mixing brown in with the black ink.

  13. I like the attention to detail by “antiquing” the ink. We used a similar technique to get a metal and shadow look on my arms, so I think that it will look great. Love the idea, too.

    I once had a masterclass with Gyorgy Sebok and he claimed that BWV565 (the d minor toccata und fuge) wasn’t composed by JSB. He mentioned the stylistic elements that can’t be found in other JSB works. His hypothesis was that JS Bach’s wife copied it from a student of Buxtehude. It all seemed very plausible.
    But it’s a great piece of course!
