Tattoos for Everyone Ever thought about getting a tattoo? A lot of Flows have made this decision. Not only did they get a tattoo, but they got a Florence + the Machine inspired tattoo. It’s a way of binding yourself to the person or band you admire. Again this shows how extremely creative the Flows are! In this feature, we take a look at a couple of examples of tattoos inspired by the band By Michael Kayaerts What a Font Aly Diaz recently sent us his tattoo. And man, this is a real Birdcages tattoo! This tattoo gives a whole new meaning to a customized font. It screams Florence and the Machine. Of course the iconic birdcage isn’t missing in this one! Birdcages are a running theme in many of the tattoos we see, mainly because of Florence’s finger tattoo she first sported in 2011. Which brings us to… Talking of birdcages, a lot of Flows choose the classic birdcage as their tattoo. It’s small, it’s simple, but it’s significant. We’ve seen it all, but the most common is definitely a tattoo on the right middle finger! My Own Secret Ceremonials This tattoo is my personal favourite. To a lot of Flows (including this proud owner of this tattoo, Moreno), Lucas Florence and the Machine’s 2nd album Ceremonials means a lot.
