Has any musician ever influenced quite as many of his fellow performers as English legend David Bowie did? His loss in 2016 was mourned by the entire artistic world, and his like will surely never come again. There were plenty of people who had Bowie tattoos when the man was alive, but that number probably doubled when he passed away, as everybody rushed to get lasting tributes to legend.
One of the best-known images of Bowie was taken during his time as 'Ziggy Stardust'; a glam-rock alter-ego Bowie performed as during the 1970s. He would take the stage with a lightning bolt painted onto his face, and a photo taken of him in the paint became a popular poster. This tattoo plays with that image; instead of putting the paint on his face, it uses it as a background, upon which a drawing of an older and slightly more pensive looking Bowie sits.
