Celebrate the Life and Legacy of Prince with 20 Revolutionary Tattoos

Prince would have been 61 if he were alive today

If he were alive today, legendary musician Prince would have turned 61-years-old on June 7th of this year. During his lifetime, Prince had a significant impact on the music industry as well as popular culture and fashion. He released a staggering 39 studio albums, won 10 Grammys, and was inducted in multiple music halls of fame. Take a look at just a few tattoo collections who were impacted by the eccentric singer-songwriter and let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section.

Finally managed to get a healed shot of my half sleeve by @abbiewilliamstattoo @goldroomtattoo I’m so in love with it. Prince was originally done elsewhere but wonderful abbie brought him back to life and made him sexy again.
