For a band who first shot to stardom almost five decades ago, Queen fans are still a dime a dozen. Which is why it comes as absolutely no surprise that tribute tattoos have surged a whopping 1400 per cent on Pinterest since the release of Bohemian Rhapsody in late 2018. (Which, FYI, was just crowned the highest grossing music biopic. Of. All. Time.)

The most popular options people are searching for? Freddy Mercury silhouettes, his handwritten signature and snippets of their powerful song lyrics.

Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our faves:

Queen has always been in my life. I remember going on our family holidays and my dad would always put on a queen album in the car. The musical we did in school was based on queen songs because our school was bad ass. And then the Bohemian Rhapsody movie came out this year and showed me so many things I didn't know about the band and Freddie. I can't stop watching interviews and live performances of him and I just love how he wasn't afraid to be himself ever. Freddie Mercury, you were a queen ❤️⭐️ * thank you @vasia
