Ladies, get Tattooed the right way

Photobucket
Tattoos are getting hotter as time goes by and the Ladies are doing their best to get unique looking, huge size tattoos which make them be more noticeable than someone having a tiny tattoo next to their private parts. I believe Tattoos are meant to be displayed at all times and not to be kept covered like if it was an embarrasment (if it is a messed up work then it should be covered at all times till is fixed). Remember to be creative when choosing a design and use it to get inspired and create something unique.

Prison Tattoos

Tattoos have continued to fascinate the world for centuries. Not only do they showcase the skill and dexterity of the tattoo artist, they also provide a lot of insight into the character and personality of the person who created or chose the design which is the person who has the tattoo. Here is an interesting collection of tattoos for you to check out.
The most interesting thing about this collection of tattoos is that they are all prison tattoos. One of the other interesting things about this collection is that is features quite a few elderly men, giving you a peek into a world not explored efore. Another interesting thing in this collection is that it features a number of tattoos depicting dates and messages. These being prison tattoos, no doubt the dates depict the term of imprisonment. Liberty and love seem to be prominent themes for obvious reasons.



Tribal Tattoo Then and Now

Photobucket
Tribal tattoos have been used by different cultures for hundreds of years as marks that show the affiliation of people within a particular culture or society. Some people who belonged to a tribe received a mark implanted in their skin that showed they belonged to that particular clan. Some of these marks were very small while other marks were large and clearly visible. The people in a particular area, usually geographical, would immediately identify others by the different types of tribal tattoos. There are still some tribal tattoos that are used for these reasons, but in most cases these days, people with tribal tattoos choose them for the beauty and variety of the designs.
Tattoos have become very popular in recent years, and tribal tattoos are some of the most popular available. Some of the tattoos used for cosmetic purposes could be authentic marks of identification that the tattoo artist borrowed from another culture. Other tattoos are identified with this group because they resemble the traditional tattoos that have been actually used by tribes around the world. Some tattoos, for example, are similar in look to those from tribes in places like Samoa.
These specific tribal tattoos are very distinctive images compared with other tattoos that are currently available. Tribal tattoos are the "in" thing Tribal tattoos are possibly one of the most sought after tattoo designs and the most popular are based on the Maori, Haida, Polynesian and Native American designs. Of course the term tribal has so many different meanings and an almost limitless amount of variations and combinations. The true meaning of today's tribal tattoo lies in the unique allure it has to the individual. People choose these different tribal tattoos currently because the designs are merely pleasing to the eye. In most parts of the world tribal tattoos have no relationship to the identity of the person wearing the tattoo. Some very famous people have contributed to the popularity of tribal tattoos. These tattoos have appeared on backs and arms of some very famous celebrities that have shown them off when appearing in public, creating a demand for tribal-like tattoos from regular folk. The popularity of tribal tattoos has also led to global competition amongst tattoo artists.
Many come up with unique designs by making use of images based on the tribal tattoos that have appeared in pictures or drawings from the tribal people who originally wore these marks on their bodies. There are some skilful tattoo artists who have even become known for the beauty of their tribal designs and most own copyright to these so others cannot use the tattoos without permission. Many of the tattoos are isolated images on the chest or shoulder, but others can cover an entire arm or back. There are tribal tattoos that are in simple black, but others incorporate some color into the design. And what with so many variations to choose from, having a tribal tattoo etched into your skin can be one of the most unique choices you can make.

Kennewick's First Tattoo Convention A Big Hit

Hundreds of people got to peruse tattoo artist's collections, or sign up for a tattoo on the spot.
Organizers say they have about 50 vendors from as far away as Montana. Organizers tell Action News tattoos are becoming more popular.


"We thought the community would really enjoy a tattoo show. If you look around town everybody's got a piece of ink somewhere on their body and so we knew it would be successful," Heather Breymeyer with the Three Rivers Convention Center said. Organizers say getting all the artists to come was difficult. But for a first show, that is expected.

They plan to do it again.



Shooting Star Tattoo Designs

Shooting Star Tattoo Designs - Change the Quality of the Artwork You See



This is the most important thing to take into account when searching for shooting star tattoos. This can be one of the absolute best design choices possible, but not if you're staring at long pages of generic junk. Is that what you're seeing? If you are, then I have some very valuable tips to share with you, because it's quite easy to move forward and find original, perfectly drawn shooting star tattoo designs.

Let me break this first tip to you very gently: The more generic artwork you see, the bigger the possibility is of you picking one of those basic tattoos to get inked with. Do you know how many people regret putting a cookie cutter tat on themselves, though? The number is staggering. Let's just leave it at that. Many of these people just weren't able to find the better, higher quality artwork, which is why they just "settled" on something. You can easily avoid this by discontinuing your use of search engines when looking for shooting star tattoo designs.

Most of you might think that this is too drastic of a step to take, but it's really not. It's just a necessary one. The only kind of artwork you find in search results will be the generic stuff, because that's the only kind of artwork gallery they show to you. They are always leaving out the bigger, fresher and higher quality galleries. So, if you want to pick shooting star tattoo designs from real, original artwork, you're best shot at finding tons of it is by using big forums to your advantage.

You're not going to find the actual tattoos in the galleries, so you don't have to worry about that. You are just using the big forum because of their massive archives, which are loaded with topics about tattoos. This is the ultimate place to gather links and names to the unbelievable artwork sites you've been missing. The info about these websites are shared freely and regularly through the topics, by people just looking to help each other out. That's how you change the quality of the shooting star tattoo designs you find. It's really that simple.

In the future, you can use this to find any other style, not just shooting star tattoo designs.

Who says Tattoos & Piercings = No job? (Alternatives for the tat + pierced)

Sometimes people who already have a job wish to get certain tattoos or piercing and simply restrain themselves form getting anything done or if they happen to have piercings they feel they have to choose either removing them and leaving it to close or debating on keeping one thing or the other. Lots of people are not aware of other alternatives available and additional ideas that can allow them to be who they are. For example, I have talked to people about retainers (see pictures below).


Retainers are commonly used by people who can not wear their body jewelry because of their jobs and they are forced to have their piercings removed, this happen a lot with those who have their nose pierced.


The best kind of retainers that can be used are the ones made of clear acrylic, it goes invisible to the naked eye. A new trend in Tattoos are the Black Light Tattoos for those who wish to have tiny tattoos details on areas like hands, forearms and face.

It make tattoos look cool when you get a Black Light Tattoo along with the tattoo that was already there so at the time you get to show it make they design look complete and more even.


Everything is possible, all you have to do is deal with what you already got, embrace it and flaunt it.

Never regret having a personal style.

Who says Tattoos & Piercings = No job?


Hearing people say Tattoos and Piercings won't allow someone to get a job makes me sick. I've heard the stories many times and I have to say that I don't agree with it. People have been told they won't get a job for being pierced or tattooed and I find that statement not true at all. I can understand certain jobs have their "rules or ethics" but if you look closely you can realize not all jobs keep things the way they want it to appear. Not everyone understand being tattooed or pierced and having a job is possible. Someone who decide to have visible tattoos or piercings can make more money than those who dress up in a white collar "conservative" way.


Sometimes people fail to think about the future and decide to get tattooed or pierced and they regret it later in life. Is kind of the equivalent of looking at a conservative, suburb housewife with a "tramp stamp". There is nothing wrong with having tattoos and piercings, I believe one has to choose a career path that will allow you to express your personal style, sense of freedom and what you feel is appealing to your community. If you're focused on what your career path then you should know which part of the body you can get Inked or Pierced. The best way to avoid hearing crappy complaints and people telling you what to do with your body is by opening your own business, you can be the boss and no one can tell you shit, obviously the short cut to get there is by going to additional trainings and getting a higher education along with having a full knowledge of what career path will allow you to achieve your goals. There is other alternatives like laser tattoo removal (I can't stand anything that make people look like they have regrets). I've heard of jobs telling people many things that are not allowed but when you look closely you realize most things are not enforced at all. Sometimes people focus on things that have nothing to do with the ability of production of that tattooed/pierced individual, they fail to focus on that individual's potential to make things better for the business and take it to a level it has never been to before even though one has to realize people still focused on what they call aesthetic appeal or squeaky clean "image". Some places don't realize the amount of damage crated to that individual since all they care about is appearance and not the recognition that individual deserve.


 No one has the right to tell you what to do or not to do with your body. You have to realize there is better career paths you can enjoy and be able to work with employers that value their employees and give them the recognition plus paycheck they deserve instead of having people who appear something they're not which are individuals who rather not to work/perform duties as they should. It is understandable image is important and that's the reason one has to be a little more careful at the time we select a piercing or a tattoo. Once a job is found all a person have to do is focus on ourselves and not on how crappy a "clean-cut looking" good for nothing co-worker does to waste company's time and money while taking advantage of what a company has to offer and use it for personal gain. However, those are things no one should be concerned about. Unfortunately society judge people on appearance and that is also something employers are concerned with and one has to be a bit realistic when it come to the job position desired. Don't focus on working as a receptionist when you could have a better paid job, and be yourself. There is plenty of jobs out there.

Lady Gaga Tattoos

Lady Gaga is an American recording artist, known for such songs as Poker Face and Paparazzi.

Lady Gaga has quite a gallery of tattoos on her body, including a rather long poem on her inner left arm, which is a tribute to her favorite writer. In her own words...

"That one commemorates my favorite writer, Rainer Maria Rilke, a poet and romantic philosopher," "In German he writes, 'Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?' ".

Pictures of her poetic tribute, plus a piece sign tattoo on her left wrist.
In the act of getting tattooed in Tokyo Japan.

Lady Gaga has three lily flowers, along with some mysterious scribblings that read "Tokyo Love", located on her back left shoulder. She also elaborated on this design, saying...

"That was to celebrate the Haus’s collaboration with legendary Japanese photographer Araki. I was bound by Araki’s personal bondage artist, by several ropes and Japanese knots … Araki photographed me, using a series of several cameras. He did not photograph my image; he photographed my soul. We spent the night with Araki and his friends at a members' only bar he’s owned for more than 20 years, where he displays his work. Here, he painted me and took Polaroids through the night. I was honored to be the first American woman he's photographed, and only the second pop artist, in the company of Björk. He signed the Polaroids 'Tokyo Love,' and the Haus got tattoos of his marking in celebration."

The artist also has another flower themed tattoo, which is a patch of six roses with a lot vines that covers areas of her lower back and hip. This tattoo was designed by famous artist Kat Von D.

And finally, Lady Gaga's most recent tattoo is of a unicorn with an extra long horn, which has a banner wrapped with the title of her upcoming album "Born This Way".

Society always have an opinion about anything, good or bad regardless of what a person does with their body or how people live their life. A person can live a double life or simply live life to the fullest. Regardless of what you choose, it is better to live with freedom than having a life full of regrets and feeling sorry for not doing things as wished.
