Two generations of people have been born since Elvis Presley died some four decades ago. Not only has his music remained popular and relevant, he continues to increase his fan base, with some even dedicated enough to tattoo his face on their body.
It’s funny how things come full circle: Elvis served in the US military where modern tattooing began to gain traction. Now it’s commonplace for the larger population to get tattooed – some of these tattoos just so happen to honour Elvis.
While he’s not quite ‘The King’ of music themed tattoos, Elvis has still managed to find his niche within another niche community that is tattoo collectors.
