I have written about tattoo placement once before but I wanted to touch on the subject again. Like I said before there are endless places on your body where you can get a tattoo. But when you have made the decision to get a tattoo, deciding where it should go on your body is just as important. For instance, if you dont want to be preceived as trashy than getting a tattoo on your arm or some other highly visible place is probably not a good idea. If you are wanting a tattoo to express your sexiness than the lower back or somewhere more private would be a great place. And Im not sure about everyone else out there but I think tattoos that are on the back of necks are sexy.

So if you keep those sort of things in mind it could help you decided where to get inked. Or if the placement really doesnt matter to you than you have a whole heck of a lot other places to choose from on your body. Just keep in mind getting a tattoo in a place that can be covered up is a huge plus. Trying to land a new job when you are older and wiser having those very visible tattoos might cost you the job. Which I think is ridiculous but todays society still views tattoos as a no no and unprofessional.

Also like I have said before if this will be your first tattoo try not to get something that is huge and crazy. The main reason is a ton of people regret their first tattoo and you dont want to be stuck with the huge tattoo the rest of your life, if you turn out to regret it later on down the road.

A tattoo artist in Tyler Texas decided to try and attempt to beat the Guinness World Records of giving the most tattoos in one day. Derek Kastning, who is a tattoo artist at Rat-a-Tac-Tat Tattoos started to attempt his goal of breaking the tattooing record at 1 P.M. on October 25. His only concern about beating the world record was that he would run out of people to tattoo during the 24 hour time frame. Surprisingly, he did not have this problem as hundreds of people waited in line outside the building to be part of this great tattooing event. When midnight rolled around they realized they had already beaten the record but wanted to keep going. So at 1 P.M on October 26, Derek Kastning tattooed his last tattoo making the new tattooing world record of 726 tattoos in a 24 hour period.

I think this is so cool and how awesome it is for those people who were able to get tattooed during that 24 hour time frame. Although I bet that guys arms, hands, neck and every other muscle in his body ached when he was done at the end of the day. Anyways I just thought this was pretty neat and wanted to share this with all of my fellow tattoo lovers out there. I wonder if this guy gave some sort of discount or something for the people who helped him achieve this awesome goal? If not, I think he should have, after all he wouldnt have been able to do it without willing participates to tattoo.

So you have made the decision to get a tattoo, that is great, but there are a couple things you need to think about before you set off and get inked. The biggest decision you need to make is what kind of tattoo you are going to get. Did you know that nearly 35% of people regret their first tattoo? Well I hate to say that I fall into that category. I dont necessarily regret my first tattoo, but I dont exactly like it anymore. So you need to be 110% sure you will be okay having this tattoo on your body for the rest of your life. Secondly, if this will be your first tattoo try not to go over board with it, ie dont get something extremely huge that covers a large area of your body.

The second decision you need to make is where to get the tattoo on your body. Of course the places are literally endless. If you dont handle pain very well be for warned that it does hurt, its no completely painless. If you are concerned about the pain, then consider getting a tattoo on your shoulder blade, the one I go there hardly hurt at all. Also for you guys out there, I hear that the top of your arm doesnt hurt either, I personally cant vouch for that because I dont have on there. But women please listen up to this, especially you teenage girls out there. You may want to triple think getting a tattoo on your stomach or pelvic area because if you decided to have children one day that little butterfly you have down there may turn into some hideous stretched out ugly mess.

If you are having trouble finding the perfect somthing to have inked on your body. You can always sit down with a tattoo artist and have them draw you up one or you can check out Infinte Tattoos and look through the hundreds of tattoo designs that are featured on the site.

Women are increasingly using tattoos as a way to show off their inner beauty. It isn’t rare or unusual at all now to see a woman with a tattoo. Women are joining (and even surpassing) men in decorating their bodies with tattoos, and they are making a style statement with tattoos. Women with tattoos are admired and applauded for their boldness.

If you want to get ideas for your next tat, browse the Internet for feminine tattoo picture galleries. Popular regions for tattoos on women include the lower back, the abdomen, ankles, arms, shoulders, and wrists. Some women have lately begun to get their own self-portraits in black-and-white inked next to their heart as a symbol for how they will always love and care for themselves.

Such a tattoo suggests that they have a lot of self-confidence and inner strength. Popular designs for women’s tattoos include mythical creatures like mermaids or phoenixes, animals like butterflies or dolphins, celestial bodies like suns or stars, and graphics like stars or hearts. Tattoos can range from conventional to downright odd – anything is possible with a tattoo. You can get any design you choose.

Whatever is meaningful and special to you makes a great tattoo. For unconventional (but still reasonable) tattoo designs, get some Asian inspiration. Tattoos of ancient world maps, Chinese symbols, and Japanese Kanji are very popular. Indian and Arabic script are also very popular right now.

Tattoos that include floral and tribal designs are also very hot with women. Women, being a little bit more fashion forward than most men, usually consider getting a tattoo from all angles first. Tattoos are forever, so it’s natural to be hesitant about getting one for the first time. It might be a good idea to have a trial period with a non permanent.

That way you can gauge what it will be like to have a tattoo and whether you still like the design you chose. Designs for women have began to create a huge new generation of tattoos. Having a tattoo is a fun and maintenance-free way to show your style, making them a great accessory for the busy but fashion conscious woman.

Tattoos can make a woman look and feel young, and she’ll never be ignored with a sleek tattoo. Jump into the tattoo trend and see how sexy and cool they can be.

Its time for another edition of celebrity tattoo. Today I decided to do Tommy Lee, mainly because I have been watching this show called Battleground Earth that comes on the Green Channel that stars Tommy Lee and Ludacris. I think it is safe to say that we all know that Tommy Lee pretty much has half if not more than half of his body covered in tattoos.

However, I wasnt able to find a list of all the tattoos Tommy has, Tommy himself has even lost count. But I do know that he has Mayhem tattooed across his stomach, he has an ex-girlfriends lips tattooed on his neck. He has Brandon on one wrist and Dylan on another. Interesting note, he had both Brandon and Dylan write their names out and he took those to a tattoo artist and had him tattoo them on his wrist. And he has a huge tribal design covering almost all of his back. He also has two stars on each hand. This is pretty much all I know. Because the tattoo sleeves he has on his arms are pretty hard to make out. He also has several tattoos on his legs too but Im not too sure what they are.

Tommy recently developed a clothing line called TL for PL and guess what the inspiration of his clothing line was? His Tattoos.

I lost count a long time ago of how many I have. Theyre all beautiful things. I love animals, and so there is everything from koi fish to leopards. There are cherry blossoms. I love flowers. There are dragons. There is fire and water. These are things that I will always love to look at, and hopefully people will love to wear.
