This tattoo comes from a song by Giuseppe Tartini - The Devil’s Trill (around 1713), a baroque song, in the age of Vivaldi, very famous in Baroque music.

The story of this song is how important dreams are, as Tartini, composed the Devil’s Trill song after a dream, where the devil appeared and played for him.
After the dream, that morning, he was in bed and inspired by what he had dreamt, he remembered and wrote the melody of the Devil.

This is a picture of the painting of Giuseppe Tartini showing how important dreams are.

Do you dream? Have you ever had a dream which have inspired a song, creative pursuit or life changing decision? And have you ever heard The Devil’s Trill?
