Katycat Mikareak Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hi everyone. I have recently decided to get a Mika related tattoo but I have no idea what I want to get. I already have a tattoo of a quote on my rib so I would probably want something else than text (like some of Mika’s artwork, a symbol, picture or just anything simple that would remind me of him). But if there are some lyrics that you’d think would make a great tattoo I’d appreciate it as well🙏🏻❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I'm getting a Mika tattoo too, but it's really personal so I'll probably only post about it once it's done. If you like brightly coloured tattoos then maybe LICM album art, it's full of colour! TBWKTM has some interesting cover art too. In the OOL album booklet there seems to be art for most tracks, which I think Mika designed himself, so if you have a favourite song from that album maybe pick a track and design your own interpretation of it! NPIH has a very bold cover and the songs are certainly deeper for Mika, I think that's why the photos in the album are in black and white but there's not much art work I think. Then of course there's MNIMH, the album cover alone would make an awesome tattoo! There's also little things that may represent Mika quite well. Like a dove (even though that's his sister), lollipop girl, the naked man for Boum Boum Boum or even the crying moon. Maybe pick one of his albums and go from there. 😊 Edited February 29, 2020 by TinyLove_CJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Well, in the past people have had tattoos of Lollipop Girl, the flying heart, Mika's signature, various designs from the albums - there is a wide choice. I think someone once got a big tattoo with the quote "Too much candy gonna rot your soul" illustrated with various sweets 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irem Aytepe Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Mika heart and wings? I'd like to do it. Or maybe a crown? Mini stars for stardust? Golden stuff? Jealousy syringe? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealousy syringe? The jealousy syringe would make a good tattoo, especially if it looked like it was actually going into the skin! Also very colourful! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I'm not into tattoos, but if I was and wanted a Mika-related image, I'd probably use the rainbow floor from his stage set, I loved that so much. But well, that's one reason why I don't get tattoos - he might have something even more beautiful on another tour or album artwork in the future, and then I'd think, oh, why didn't I get that one tattooed...? So I'll rather draw that rainbow floor on a T-Shirt instead, to wear when I feel like it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggie112 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I’ve seen tattoos of doves (palomas 🕊) for Any Other World, and now with Paloma song it has another meaning too 🤩 Ive also seen one tattoo of Happy Ending (I think if I remember well) notes on music pentagram I’m not into tattoos myself but I personally prefer simple lyrics tattoos 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Does anyone have any experience with tattoo cover ups or know of someone that has done this? Interested in the process of tattooing over another tattoo. Asking for a friend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna-is-golden Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I would like to have a tattoo in memory of my grandmother, who died exactly one month ago. I would like to tattoo her favorite flower, and I also wanted to add a phrase from Mika, but I am a little undecided. I would like to write this quote from Heroes, “so much harder to love when alive” What do you think? what I don't want is that it seems that I didn't love her in life (I would never want this to seem, that’s why i am undecided about this phrase), but I would like to express that I haven't had time in the last few months (I lived away from home for university and then the residence where she lived closed the visits because of the virus) to show her my closeness and my affection. In particular because of the virus I couldn't even say goodbye to her as she was about to die. Do you think this sentence fits? I like it a lot sorry if I wrote my feelings here, I just wanted to talk to someone now and I didn't know who to do it with❤️ Edited April 19, 2020 by Anna-is-golden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna-is-golden Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I would like to specify that the aim is not to tattoo a quote by Mika, but this sentence has rumbled inside my brain since that day she died, and it sounds perfect to me i would like to have your opinion❤️ Edited April 19, 2020 by Anna-is-golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a lovely idea to remember your grandmother in this way. I can at least begin to understand why you would choose those particular lyrics. It can be hard to show emotion, even love, when you're apart from someone or if that person is really ill. A few years ago my grandmother got really ill and had to have full time care. I loved her dearly but suddenly my whole life turned upside down because it was like I had to be a different person around her (She became very confused and forgetful). I was just becoming a more independent adult when she died, so it was really only after her death that I began to truly appreciate all that she had done for me throughout my life. Love was always there, but it was like a new kind of love once I'd gone through a tough grieving period. As an adult I began to understand what she might have felt and gone through herself. I hope all of this makes sense 😅 So I don't think your tattoo idea is strange or doesn't make sense, because it does. And it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's a very personal thing for you and having any tattoo means that you'll have that memory for life and you'll always know why you got it and the meaning behind it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna-is-golden Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I’m not sure, but I think that you must remove the color before🙁 and then, you can recolor it but it will be quite long (some laser removal sessions, and then you have to wait for it to heal before recoloring it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbd28 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Hi! Hope this is the right place to ask. My brother and I have been wanting to get a little tattoo each, either matching or something that complements each other. Just something fairly small and subtle that would go on our arm somewhere. Anyway, we want it to be something meaningful. We both love Mika, and I feel like something inspired by Tiny Love could be perfect, but not sure exactly what we could get for that? Does anybody have any ideas, or other song ideas we could use? As I say, we want it to represent our bond and mean a lot to us, rather than just picking any Mika song (though we love them all). Our favourite albums are 'the boy who knew too much,' and 'my name is Michael Holbrook.' as I say, I feel Tiny love is relevant, and indeed that album, as obviously a lot of it is inspired by what happened to his sister. Any thoughts and ideas would be very welcome. Thank you! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or two silhouettes (maybe of you two?) with a world next to it somehow showing it revolving around the two silhouettes for "so small that you can't find us, the world revolves around us"? Don't know how the latter would work, but I'm sure a skilled tattoo artist could work with that idea and expand on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
