Pink Floyd is the most popular band tattoo choice among rock fans, according to a new study. Artists at LLTattoo (via Loudwire) examined search volume data from Google Keyword Planner to calculate the top 10 bands that are being searched when it comes to tattoos or tattoo inspiration.
The British rockers recorded 13,000 monthly searches worldwide, which was significantly higher than the second place band Guns N' Roses (10,675). German rockers Rammstein came in at #3 with 10,558 monthly searches.
“It’s very interesting to see which rock bands inspire the most tattoo pieces around the world. Rock music and ink are seemingly inseparable, and tats are almost obligatory to big rock heads," Mentor Dedaj of LLTattoo said of the study. “Having inked people in our studio with pieces influenced by some of these artists, some of the results are unsurprising. However, there are also a few interesting bands included in the top ten, as well as a few that surprisingly didn’t make the list.”
