We all get that feeling when our favorite song comes on the radio that gives us the complete need to sing along. Maybe we even add some moves and dance like no one is watching. It's not just the music that gets you— the lyrics actually speak to you as well. Many times, it's the words you relate to that can make you fall even more in love with your favorite song. When verses really speak to you, they usually have a very special meaning. Words to the songs we love say what you may be feeling in a perfect way. So, the first time or next time you decide to get inked, you might want to consider some of the best song lyrics for tattoos.
Whether it's your first tat or you're covered from head to toe, the design decision process is never easy. You may have a vague idea of what you want and where to get it, but a tattoo is permanent, so you must be pretty confident about what you want before you go. For anyone who's still deciding, a song lyric tattoo is an easy choice. If you're a hopeless romantic, love song lyrics will show off your heart. For those who love to travel, a song of wanderlust would be a great choice.
I've listed six song lyrics to inspire you. Choose any of these, or go with one of your favorites. Either way, we're hearing the music and ready to get inked.
Many fans can relate to the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, because our home isn't always a place, but the people we surround ourselves with.

You can't go wrong choosing a classic Beatles song for your tat.

Let's be real — many of us love Eminem's "Lose Yourself." It's an Academy Award-winning song for a very good reason. Though "mom's spaghetti" would make a fun tattoo, these lyrics from the song show a deeper meaning of getting lost in the music you love.
An Ed Sheeran song lyric is an ideal choice if you're truly lost in love. From "Perfect" to "Shape Of You," Sheeran really is the go-to guy for the modern day love song. These words from "Kiss Me" will truly make your heart melt.
Celestial objects like stars, the sun, and the moon are pretty popular tattoos to get. Some of us just can't help it, we're obsessed with what's above and are constantly stargazing.

Sometimes, we get tattoos to show off who we are to other people, and other times, we just get tattoos for ourselves.
