Some wearable designs have become popular only recently, one of these tattoos is the treble clef. His image was invented about a thousand years ago, and the first drawings on the body began to be made only in the last century. For this reason, the interpretation of the symbol is just beginning. However, even now one thing is clear - people associated with music strive to portray the treble clef, thereby saying "music will forever remain with me."
This tattoo is rarely seen in an ordinary person who is not associated with the art of music. Nevertheless, some of the inhabitants, far from creativity, use the symbol as a reminder of their turbulent youth (usually they stuff the treble clef on the little finger or on the other finger). For other people, the treble clef is a symbol of longing for the old days. If such a tattoo is applied during a person's stay in prison, it can mean a cheerful and carefree life in freedom before getting to places not so remote.
Musicians know that, in addition to the violin (the most common), there are two more types of clef:
Some people, in an effort to emphasize their originality, depict any of these keys on their bodies.
The treble clef is a very clear, harmless, simple and elegant tattoo. It looks perfect on the female body, but is also suitable for men. It is not necessary to be a professional musician to earn the right to wear this sign on yourself - just love for music and its performers is enough to perpetuate this feeling on your body.
There are thousands of musicians who have treble clef tattoos. For some, the drawing is depicted in a conspicuous place (neck, forearm, hands, fingers), for others it is hidden under clothing. Sometimes the key is used with other musical symbols (most often - notes), due to which the composition acquires a certain completeness.
For many people, music serves as a support, support, hobby, passion. For others, it is the main profession and a means of earning money. But it does not matter. If you want to become the owner of a treble clef tattoo, feel free to implement your idea. Harmless and understandable to a wide range of people, the symbol will remind you of music - the most beautiful creation of mankind.
In prison, the treble clef was stuffed for girls who had previously engaged in oral pleasures; men could also find such a tattoo with exactly the same meaning.
The image of a treble clef as a tattoo has recently diversified the range of underwear designs. The meaning of a tattoo is clear even to people who are ignorant of this area - this is a manifestation of love for music. People who are passionate about music and creativity are carriers of such drawings. Very beautiful tattoo in the form of a treble clef, possibly with the addition of others that complement and enhance the effect of musicality, suitable for girls. Often, next to the treble clef, notes or an instrument played by the owner of the tattoo are depicted. Men also choose the image of a treble clef, but in the form of a more masculine and strict design. It is possible to apply a musical picture: a treble clef against the background of a page of a musical album or an instrument against the background of a treble clef with notes, as if issued by an instrument and flying in different directions.
Of course, the pattern of the treble clef is chosen not only by musicians, but also by simple people wishing thus to express their reverent attitude to the musical world. Moreover, the place of application can be any part of the body, and the treble clef will look not only appropriate, but also very beautiful and harmonious. Men prefer to apply the pattern on the shoulder or back. And girls can choose any part of the body, because a treble clef tattoo will emphasize a graceful ankle, a gentle curve of the neck, a thin waist or a good shape of the arm. The treble clef tattoo can be seen on the body of many famous music performers and composers. Stars who are not related to music, but who feel like a creative person, are also chosen.
The complex shape gives the pattern of the treble clef a certain zest. The intricate shape with spiral elements draws attention not only to the drawing itself, but to the person who immediately stands out from the crowd. According to the prevailing stereotype, people related to the world of music and art are perceived as gifted and extraordinary. A bright color scheme can enhance the meaning of the “Treble Clef” tattoo - the love of music will manifest itself in all colors. Or, conversely, only black to make the lines appear clearer.
The meaning of the treble clef tattoo is widely known - the love of music. Less well known is the treble clef as a symbol of turbulent youth, a riotous lifestyle. So in a way, the meaning of a treble clef tattoo means sadness and sadness about the fun, but bygone years.
But not everyone knows that there are several types of keys. Or rather, three images directly related to musical instruments for which music is written. The key "sol" is chosen by the owners of violins, pianos, most of the percussion and wind instruments. The bass and baritone vocal parts, as well as the double bass, cello and bassoon, are written on the bass clef or “fa” clef. Melodies for trombones and violas are written on the “do” key.
It should be noted that, unlike most popular body designs, the treble clef appeared among tattoo pictures only in the last century. Therefore, such a tattoo can safely be called modern.
The treble clef in tattoo art and its meaning is not easy to describe, because this tattoo is relatively new and very modern. Although the treble clef symbol itself originated in Italy in the middle of the 11th century, the clef tattoo did not appear until the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, the meaning of the treble clef tattoo is now only being formed. The treble clef in a tattoo, as a means of self-expression, is very well suited for creative people whose life and work is closely connected with music.
The meaning of the treble clef tattoo mainly tells that its wearer has devoted his life to creativity, and states that "music is always with me."
In music and in tattoos, there are three types of treble clef, which have a different image:
Key "sol" on this key notes for violin, piano, most percussion and wind instruments, vocal female parts are written. As a variety, you can call the old French key (no longer used).
Key "fa" or bass clef, cello, double bass and bassoon parts, bass and baritone vocal parts are written on it.
The C clef or alto clef is used to write music for violas and trombones.
Another purpose for the treble clef tattoo was a reminder of the past cheerful life, of the past years of youth and joy. Therefore, for some people, such a tattoo can also become a sign of longing. In the tattoo zone, the treble clef also means a cheerful, wild life in freedom.
This symbol in the tattoo has become an expression of the boundless love for music, and can be perceived as a call to action.
The treble clef can be a good female tattoo, it is often drawn in decomposition with other female symbols, although it also looks good on men. This tattoo has already been done by famous musicians and many stars of domestic and world show business.
