From heavy metal bands to gangster rappers, there are certainly a lot of tattoos in music.

Sure, you know about Eminem, Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty but we want to really test you knowledge of musical inkwork.

With that in mind we have gathered ten musicians tattoos and all you have to do is guess the artist from their design. Can you tell these rocker and rappers from only their ink?

Check out the first picture below to get started now.

  • This frontman left his band to start something Purer, but who is he?

  • It's Frank Carter (Gallows/ Pure Love)

  • Which pop star has this French phrase etched onto her neck?

  • Yes, this is one of Rihanna's many inkings.

  • Which punk rock star showed his love for Marilyn Monroe in the most permanent of fashions?

  • It's Travis Barker of Blink 182.

  • God Only Knows who this could be.

  • Oh wait, it's Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro.

  • Which UK rockstar adorned his shoulder with this image?

  • It's Oli Sykes (Bring Me The Horizon)

  • The most extreme of tattoos, but which rapper had an ice cream cone inked onto his face?

  • It could only be, Gucci Mane!

  • Was this on purpose or did this pop superstar lean on a newspaper?

  • It's Cheryl Cole (and we're none the wiser).

  • A head tattoo is pretty full-on but then these US rockers don't do things by halves.

  • It's Brent Hinds of Mastodon.

  • Iconic guitarist who appears to have his own face tattooed on his arm?

  • Slash - great guitarist, questionable ink.

  • Right between the eyebrows, but which rapper went for this design?

  • Given it was the only space left on his body, it can only be Lil Wayne.
