A disco ball is said to reflect all types of light and colors because it is made of multiple square pieces of mirrors. As long as the tattoo artist understands how to use colors to properly display this reflection, any color palette can work. The image above shows a unique, abstract coloring style that uses out-of-the-box coloring for a pleasing designer look.
6. Broken disco ball tattoo

Disco balls are generally associated with happiness, joy, and celebration, due to the occasions they were used for. It symbolizes the ability to slip people into a carefree trance and live life to the fullest. Therefore, a broken disco ball can symbolize a sense of loss of happiness and joy and the carefree spirit that once defined the wearer.
7. Cowboy Hat Disco Ball Tattoo
