It's all about the guitar geek in you, we've all got those times where we just wanted to draw something on our guitar, and now there's a growing community of people that are sharing the same passion in the guitar building world.
These days, there are more and more ways to draw on guitars, and while some are pretty rare (similar to the old days of singing and playing 'Hey Jude' on the guitar..lol), others are prefer tattooing their guitar through pyrography.
These pyrographers/guitar builders/artists are overflowing with talent. Aside from their musical side, their artistry shines through the shades and outlines of their beautiful artwork.
We believe that though not everyone is an artist, everyone can be artistic. Explore that artistic side through a wooden tattoo on your guitar. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! If you fail on the first try, do it again. Those expensive paintings that looked like spilled paint (lol) might have been a mistake that turned into art. We’ll never know!
Draw something on your guitar through pyrography. It’s a tattoo that adds character to your instrument.
