1. Minimalist Disco Ball Tattoo

The image above shows a basic black and gray outline tattoo of a disco ball that has been shown to sparkle and reflect light by using white and varying shades of gray pigment for the shimmery effect. The dotted line is done to show the string by which the ball hangs, further elevating the richness in detail of the simplistic design.

2. Cherry Disco Ball Tattoo

Play around with the overall shape of the disco ball for a creatively unique tattoo design. The cherry disco ball is quite a trending tattoo on social media that features two glittering disco balls connected by two stems from the branch, mimicking the classic shape of two cherries branching out of the same node.

3. Traditional Disco Ball Tattoo

For a traditional disco ball, why not try a traditional tattooing style? The charm of traditional tattoos lines in the clear lines and solid pigment-fill. The washed-out look gives a nostalgic feel to the design. The tattoo design also creates a multidimensional effect, adding movement to the overall tattoo.

4. Flash Disco Ball Tattoo

If you do not wish to have an excessive, creative influence on your disco ball tattoo, then simply ask for flash designs at your trusted tattoo studio. It is a classic design so they may offer you plenty of options to pick from. The above design shows a basic outline disco ball that has been deeply shaded for depth and dimension. The best part is the simplicity of flash designs that can be customized at a later date as per the wearer’s wishes.

5. Disco Ball Tattoo In Color

A disco ball would reflect all types of light and colors as it is made of multiple square pieces of mirrors. As long as the tattooist understands how to use colors to properly depict this reflection, any color palette could be suitable. The image above shows a unique, abstract coloring style that applies out-of-the-box coloring for a pleasant design look.

6. Broken Disco Ball Tattoo

Disco balls are generally associated with happiness, joy, and celebration, owing to the occasions for which they were used. It symbolizes the ability to allow people to slip into a carefree trance and live fully. Hence, a broken disco ball may symbolize a sense of loss of happiness and joy and the carefree spirit that once defined the wearer.

7. Cowboy Hat Disco Ball Tattoo

The cowboy hat represents the western culture that is rooted in countryside traditions while a disco ball may symbolize the spirit of breaking free from culture, tradition, and societal norms. A tattoo that shows a disco ball wearing a cowboy hat may show a harmony of these two concepts to show that one can stay true to their culture and still lead a fun life as in modern times.

8. American Traditional Disco Ball Tattoo

An American traditional tattoo style can ensure the best vibrant look for your disco ball tattoo. The bold line and bright color palette make for a striking tattoo design. The image above shows a tattoo showing a disco ball covered by flowers. It may symbolize the wearer’s wish to bring a positive and bright change in the world.
