After the many hits that came from their very popular 2015 album Blurryface, Twenty One Pilots gained a lot of fans and a lot of people who wanted to show their love for the band by getting Twenty One Pilots tattoos. There aren’t a ton of options to choose from if you are looking for a way to show off your fandom, but there are some very cool designs to show your love for the band. Take a look below for some of the most popular Twenty One Pilots tattoo designs and some of the meanings that can be used with these tattoos.

The backstory for the band’s name is very interesting and sometimes actually used as a meaning when people get their Twenty One Pilots tattoos. The group’s lead vocalist, Tyler Joseph, came up with the name after reading All My Sons, which is about how 21 pilots were killed during World War II because of defective airplane parts. The name represents a person’s morality because the person who made the defective parts had to make the decision on whether to tell the authorities or not.

Obviously the most common reason why people decide to get their Twenty One Pilots tattoos is because they want to tell the world how much they love the group. Because of this, you really don’t need any other special meanings attached to your design. Of course, you probably should choose a design that has a little bit more to it just in case your fandom wanes later on in your life.

One type of tattoo that was popularized by Tyler Joseph is the blackout tattoo, which is when you get a large portion of your skin covered in black ink. Interestingly, the tattoo that sparked this craze isn’t even a real tat, though many people believed that it was for a while. These blackout tattoos are often placed on the neck, the arms, or the legs and can actually look quite cool when partially covered with clothing or even when they’re completely exposed.
