One of the biggest influences on the ska revival of the late ’80s and ’90s, Sublime’s legacy remains strong despite disbanding over ten years ago.
The band’s philosophy is that everyone, no matter what they want to do, can have a good time.
From the beginning, Sublime had a specific type of image attached to it. The sun symbol was designed by a close friend of the band, a tattoo artist named Opie Ortiz, which is probably why the sun symbol translates into such an interesting and wearable tattoo. so. The sun itself symbolizes the band’s name; it represents the sublime or the highest point of someone’s life. However, on the face of the sun there is the Devil, a switch blade and some skeletons, representing that even the best in life is not what it seems.
Other elements of the Sublime aesthetic are the focus on Old English fonts, taken from Bradley Nowell’s own tattoos (also the work of Ortiz), featured on the cover of the band’s album of the same name. To incorporate the Sublime style into your own tattoo, consider using at least some Old English letters to reference this album cover.
Above all, a Sublime tattoo should not be too philosophical. The Southern California party vibe was the driving force for the band’s early work and it continues to be an important aspect of their revival band, Sublime with Rome.
