tattoo artist

Tattoos are all the rage when you're in your twenties and I don't understand why. I went through that phase myself thinking it was cool and all, but thank god I didn't get one. They don't look so pretty after a while. For instance, look at this poor sap I found on the Web. How in the WORLD is that considered cool. If this was my dad or grandpa, I'd be scared. And, how gross would it be to be the tattoo artist tattooing around someone's private parts?

Now I wonder, is his wiener inked? And how funny would it be if the tattoo was in the form of a hot dog and hot dog bun. Or a trouser snake. Or a heat seeking missile. Or a one-eyed wonder worm.

Tattoo Styles

Different Styles of Tattoos from Celtic to Tribal

Tattooing is universal and has been practiced by humans in some form or another for thousands of years. As a result distinct tattoo styles have emerged from different cultures and sub-cultures throughout the world.

Just like clothing and fashion, tattoo styles have come and gone throughout the years such as women getting dolphins or fairies a style which looks very passe now.

Daggers and hearts were the order of the day a few decades back amongst bikers and people on the fringes of mainstream culture. Dragon tattoos are also a style of tattoo that has come and gone.

Below you will see different styles of tattoos from the intricacy of Celtic tattoos, the beauty of art Japanese tattoos and simplicity of tribal tattoos.

Religious, Cross Tattoos Fashion

Religious tattoos are not only for showing the religious faith, but weaving a style preference. Religious tattoos have unique significance all the time. It is believed to have purity in life by inking the religious tattoos on different parts of the body.

People in different religions carry religious tattoos for having the blessings of God to protect them from any kind of danger and bad omen. Some inscribe religious tattoo on different body parts with a belief that this will keep their mind and body in peace and harmony.

Cheryl Cole tattoo

Here are Cheryl Cole Tattoos. Tattoos can be the best way of expressing your love and devotion towards your hubby. Taking her wifely devotion to the max she got Mrs Cole inked on the nape of her neck. Cheryl flaunted her new tattoo while she and the rest of Girls Aloud squeezed into their raciest party clothes last night and headed out to celebrate bandmate Kimberley Walsh’s 26th birthday.

Eye Tattoos

Extreme Tattoo

In this current economic climate many people simply cannot afford to get a top quality tattoo design done on their arm, shoulder or back, for instance. So therefore they are turning to cheaper alternatives such as foot tattoos, which can look just as good even though they are not necessarily on display all the time.

Even worse the tattoo that you got is something embarrassing or just plain ridiculous. This is a huge mistake. See more on Red And Black Tribal Star Tattoo. You may not know this but most of the original art is copywriter by the artist that drew it and only gives their top notch designs to specific websites. How do you look for galleries of tattoos? If you are doing it by clicking random search engine results we have just pin pointed the issue. Also more details on Monster Back Piece Tattoos and Tattoo Lettering H. They also have some sort of sex appeal to them.

Summer's Celtic Cross Honors Her Father

I see a lot of crosses in my travels through the streets of New York City, so they don't generally grab my attention.

This one, however, did:



There's nothing necessarily magnificent about this tattoo, but it just goes to show that a crisp, simple tattoo can be as aesthetically pleasing, sometimes moreso, than an overly-wrought elaborate design.

Summer had this memorial piece done for her father, who passed away in 2005. His initials grace the center of the cross.

It was inked in Tattooville in Linden, New Jersey. This piece is on Summer's left bicep, she also has the comedy/tragedy masks on the right shoulder blade portion of her back.

Thanks to Summer for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Geraldine's Joseph (With a Nod to Green Day)

It was my boldest moment as a tattoo solicitor to date. A half-dozen or so Green Day fans were decamped in the early afternoon near the artist entrance at Madison Square Garden. Green Day was playing that night and I saw one person inked, a woman, but I chose to announce to all: "I write a tattoo blog and was wondering if any of you had Green Day tattoos?"

Sadly the answer was "no," or, I should say, not exactly.

The woman I spotted before spoke up and we chatted about her ink. She was okay having me take the following photo, one of the few I've posted in which you can identify the tattoo contributor:


Her name is Geraldine and the tattoo she is displaying is a memorial piece for an ex-boyfriend who recently passed away.

Joseph was a musician and died of a heroin overdose.

Geraldine is a huge Green Day fan and Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer for the band, has the name Joseph on his arm, in honor of his son.


Geraldine chose the same font as Billie Joe's Joseph tattoo and noted that, in the song "Jesus of Suburbia" the first three letters of each word in the song title spell out the first three letters in the name Joseph.


She had this tattoo at Ink Inc. in Kingston, New York.

Thanks to Geraldine for sharing her story and tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Elaina's Ink: The Mermaid and the Tarantula

Elaina has eighteen tattoos. And not to heap loads of praise on her, but her work is brilliant.

It was the mermaid on her inner right forearm that first grabbed my attention:


She told me that the drawing was indicative of her state of mind at the time it was inked. Her boyfriend had just moved out and she was feeling reflective (thus the hand mirror).


Elaina later followed up with an email, further clarifying the tattoo:

"I realized today when you asked me the significance of my mermaid tattoo that I probably would have been better quoted saying the absolute truth. The underlying universal secret wish of all girls and women alike... I've always wanted to be a mermaid."

But Elaina had more to share. Much to my delight, she lifted her skirt on her left side to reveal this wonderful tattoo:


The spider is modeled after her mother's pet tarantula, Shelob, who is named for the giant spider in The Two Towers, book two of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I asked her what Mom thought of her ink and Elaina rolled her eyes and said that her mother recently wept when she told her she was planning her nineteenth tattoo. And, Elaina added, her mom is no stranger to ink. She told me that her mom was tattooed by legendary tattooist Lyle Tuttle during the Rolling Stones' Tattoo You tour.

The mermaid was tattooed by Claire at Funcity Tattoo in Manhattan. The spider on Elaina's thigh was done by Neal Aultman at Physical Graffiti in New Jersey.

Thanks to Elaina for sharing her amazing ink with us here on Tattoosday!

Women do more research and place more thought into their tattoos. We know what we want, where we want it, and the color (or black and white) before we go to the tattoo parlor. This tattoo will be with us for a lifetime and it's an important decision. Picking a special tattoo at the parlor can be a rushed experience and the designs can be limited. With internet sites you can choose the design on your time: shop, buy, download, print. No one is looking over your shoulder, hurrying you.

Women are special and so is the body art that they choose to decorate themselves with. Over 65% of the tattoos being done today are for the female and we're no longer hiding them. Flowers, butterfly tattoos, angel tattoos, angel wings, heart tattoos, and butterfly wings of various sizes are some of the most popular for women, and one of the more popular locations for tattoos is on the lower back, sexy and visible when you choose, or hidden if it is appropriate for the occasion. The preferable designs for the lower back are tribal tattoos. Other places where we like to be inked are the ankles (usually smaller sized tattoos), foot, the navel area, shoulders (front and back), breast, buttocks, and thighs.

A visit to the bookstore should bring up a number of total tattoo books with numerous designs. Yet when it comes to picking out a tattoo many people just drop in on their local parlor thumb through a few books and say "That one". See more on La Link Tattoo Shop. If the tattoo starts from the elbow area to the wrist then this is called a quarter sleeve tattoos. I'll explain the exact way to uncover the sites that post fresh crisp original artwork so you can find the perfect tattoo for a woman. Also more details on Tattoo Shops In Orlando And Ocala Fl and Tattoo Artist National Salary. The style of your nautical star can be as unique or as symbolic as you like.

In other words you do not want to go from a really big intricate tattoo to a small one as it could easily become a blob of ink. Do hope you have found more details on Tattoo Artist National Salary and La Link Tattoo Shop. If you are truly in the market for a fresh quality leg tattoo design you might want to take a deep breathe because you could be looking for a while. In North America many first nation tribes have used tattoos to indicate status within the tribe to demonstrate acts of strength or bravery in battle or to indicate wealth or roles in society, so see more details on Tattoo Artist National Salary and La Link Tattoo Shop. The design was probably made a certain size for a reason. It's your central location for learning where the good stuff is. See more on Tattoo Shops In Orlando And Ocala Fl and La Link Tattoo Shop

Jenny's Amazing Peacock

Timing is everything when it comes to successful inkspotting. Luck is essential. The turning of one's head can result in missing an amazing tattoo.

Case in point:

I met Jenny and her friend Kate by chance coming out of the subway one day.

Jenny has six tattoos, including this phoenix on her left forearm:


But it was this peacock, further up her arm, that really amazed me:


Generally, the peacock represents self-worth and valuing oneself. In Jenny's words, more poignantly, "be happy with your feathers."


The peacock was tattooed by Poohki at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The phoenix was inked by Trevor Kennedy at the same shop, although he now works in California.

Thanks to Jenny for sharing such wonderful tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Kate's Snakes

Although it was Jenny (here) who was visibly inked, Kate also had a tattoo, hidden from view.

So when I was done talking to Jenny, I asked Kate if she wanted to share, as well.

Kate unveiled this great tattoo on the lower portion of her back:


(A Tattoosday production note: I never solicit back tattoos but will happily feature them, when offered).

This piece consists of a couple of snakes consuming one another, a symbol of the circular cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Or, in Kate's words, "what destroys us, sustains us".

This tattoo was inked at Twilight Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Thanks to Kate for baring her back and sharing her snakes with us here on Tattoosday!

Update: "Anonymous" commented that this looked like the Auryn from The Neverending Story:



It certainly does! Thanks Anonymous!

Smoking skull tattoo

This is a very funny looking tattoo , the skull of a man smoking a cigarette. Nice intricate designs surrounding the tattoo all over. It looks cool and hip. Also, I guess the person has inked his own name and surname above and beneath the tattoo. This tattoo has been inked on the guy’s leg. Well, with the global tattoo craze still on, am sure we will witness many more such weirdly funny tattoos in near future.

There are several reasons why tattoos have become popular. In the past, the tattooing process was not very hygienic and often took place in a disreputable looking dive. One look at the stained needles and chain-smoking bearded tattoo johnny and most prospective customers run away. Now you have clean-cut tattoo artists in brightly lit studios doing the job. When you step in, you will see autoclaves and other gleaming pieces of technology for sterilizing the tattoo equipment. The artist appears thoroughly professional and uses new needles for each customer. The experience of getting a tattoo becomes indistinguishable from that of getting a hair cut or beauty makeover.

Are Sanskrit tattoo designs a recent Western phenomenon, or did the ancient Indians already have such tattoos? On the surface, it seems unlikely because Hinduism bans tattoos - much the same case as any other major religion, actually. But we also know that many other ancient cultures also made tattoos taboo - but they still infiltrated those societies. The Greeks, Romans, Japanese and Chinese come to mind. In addition, henna temporary tattoos have been a part of life in India and the Middle East for many centuries, often used by women during celebrations.

Austin's Sleeve Pays Tribute to His Grandmother

Austin was visiting New York when I stopped him on 7th Avenue right in front of the Fuse studio.

He offered up this sleeve on his left arm:


























This was inked by Amanda Grace at Truth and Triumph Tattoos. She now works at Smartbomb Tattoo. Both shops are in Dayton, Ohio.

The playing cards are a tribute to his grandmother, who was a card player. She also tended roses, so these flowers also pay homage to her.

Of the other elements, Austin says he just likes skulls, artistically. Also, the words "Never Again" are there to remind him to remain strong his sobriety, and not to go down that same road of dependency.

I appreciate Austin stopping and chatting with me, and thank him for his forthrightness, and for sharing his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
