Frédéric Alexandre “Fred” Leclercq is a French musician and producer. He is most famous for being the former bassist for the British power metal band, DragonForce. He is the lead guitarist and songwriter for the death metal group, Sinsaenum, the guitarist and vocalist for Maladaptive, and the bassist for Kreator and Loudblast.

Frederic has many tattoos on his body that form a huge part of his personality and identity. Let us take a look at his inks and explore the meanings behind them.

1. ‘Pentagram and Devil’ Tattoo

Tattoo: The left shoulder of the guitarist has a tattoo of a pentagram on it. There is also a tattoo of the Sigil of Baphomet on his left arm below the pentagram. The sigil has different symbols inside it with the head of Baphomet inside it. The devil’s number, “666” is also tattooed inside the sigil. The background of both tattoos is covered in huge red flames. Frederic later added bones and metal tubes around the tattoo design to fully cover his arm.

Meaning: The pentagram and Sigil both are a part of the demonic culture and designs that rock bands and heavy metal fans incorporate in their designs.

2. ‘Skull and Flower’ Tattoo

Tattoo: Frederic’s left bicep has a tattoo of a skull on it and there is a flower tattooed below the skull. Both tattoos share the same background of flames and metal structures as the rest of his upper arm.

Meaning: The skull represents death and the flower represents life. The tattoos occurring together represent the cycle of life and death. The skull and rose can also symbolize together the birth of a new life as obstacles or enemies have been defeated.

3. ‘Skull’ Tattoo

Tattoo: There is another skull tattooed on the upper part of his left forearm, covering his elbow.

4. ‘Triangle’ Tattoo

Tattoo: There is a tattoo of two trees leaning against each other forming a triangle tattooed on the side of his left forearm. There is also a clef tattooed inside the triangle and the letters, “F and P” are also tattooed there in red ink.
