Celebrity Tattoo - Lindsay Lohan For The Sun

Like I said before, I usually don’t like Lindsay Lohan or her fashion sense… but I do like her in this photoshoot. Also, is this a new tattoo?

Star Warz Tattoo

Recently, Bryce Nadeau of L.A.'s Kustom Kulture Tattoo came across the photo of burlesque star Courtney Cruz's turn as a stormtrooper that Shannon Cottrell shot for L.A. Weekly. The tattoo artist was taken by the image and, after convincing his roommate, Kevin Squire, to act as a canvas, Nadeau inked the above tattoo using Cottrell's photo as a reference.

"The pose and the outfit, it was too good of an opportunity," he said over the phone, describing the image as "super sexy and strange."

Nadeau intends to showcase the art at tattoo conventions this year. In the meantime, Cruz's troupe Devil's Playground is bringing their infamous Star Warz Burlesque show to Henry Fonda Theater on May 12. Stay tuned for more details.

There are several types of tattoo designs in the world. However, among the many types of designs available, the most popular are probably Japanese tattoo designs. As a matter of fact, Japanese tattoos are recognized and are used not only by the Japanese but by people all over the world. What is the reason for this? Why did these designs receive such a huge welcome from the international community? What are the characteristics of these fantastic tattoos that make them so popular?

Artistic

Japanese tattoo designs are very artistic. Most of these designs are very colorful and fluid, making them generally more appealing than other designs. Also, each design is usually made up of more than a single element woven together by intricate patterns of lines, transforming the tattoo into one elaborate painting on the skin.

For example, in more common Japanese designs such as the ones featuring Japanese koi fishes, tattoo masters already use more than six colors to finish the whole picture. This number just continues to go up as the intricacy of the patterns increases.

Symbolism

Japanese tattoo designs are rich in symbolism. This is because the art of Japanese tattooing is backed up by centuries of culture and tradition. Since the Japanese have such high regard for nature and spirituality, they often associate different creatures and places with deep spiritual meanings. This spirituality is what transforms their ink and design into works that embody or symbolize several things.

This is also why certain creatures, especially the more revered ones like the dragon, the tiger, and the Koi fish often make their way into the heart of most Japanese designs. The Japanese hold a special meaning for these creatures which is why they are often used in tattoo designs.

Powerful and Striking

These designs emit a sense of power, so much so that the body where the tattoo is placed on almost disappears instantly behind the picture. The mix of form, color and intricate patterns draws attention unlike any other type of tattoo design. This is also why these designs take much longer to complete than others. The details that come into assembling each design make these designs extremely powerful and alluring.

In contrast to other designs which clearly look and feel like ornamental accessories on the skin, Japanese tattoos are meant to stand out.

Daring

The more popular Japanese tattoo designs span the length of almost the entire body. Some of the best and most well known patterns can cover the whole back from the thighs all the way to the shoulders. Some even go all the way to the front reaching and covering the more sensitive areas of the breast, the collar bone, as well the crotch. Can you imagine the pain that these people had to endure just to get a Japanese tattoo?

According to Yoshihito Nakano, a well-known Japanese tattoo master, some of his tattoo designs are so expansive that it even takes him two years to complete.

Cherry Tattoos - Sweet and Sexy Tattoo For Women

Cherry tattoos are very popular among women mainly because its a symbol that can express their femininity and sexuality. They can usually be seen at the sexy parts of the body such as the lower hip, lower back, shoulder blade, breast and even in the groin area.

Cherries are seen as an object of lust, fertility and desire. The deep, ripe red cherry represents the fertility of a woman and the femininity of her ways. It is a symbol of purity when still hanging upon the branch. A cherry is also a slang term for a virgin, which can be another symbolic meaning associated with the tat. The type of cherry design you choose can also alter the symbolism.

For example, the cherries with the stem still attached show freshness and innocence while flaming cherries can symbolize a burning desire and cherries with whip cream can signify sweetness. Cherry tattoos can also symbolize health and well being due to the many health benefits associated with eating cherries. The fruit has also long been said to resemble a lover's lips, and when you bite into it, the fruit gives the appearance of bleeding. Thus, there has long been an erotic connection to the fruit of the cherry tree.

However way you chose to have it inked, be it fanciful and sweet, old school or edgy, there are countless design options to choose from. You are

Music Tattoo Style

Music Tattoo

This music tattoo design is the first sketch of what’s bound to become a great tattoo. I like how the design has a three dimensional effect. When it’s inked into someone’s skin, it’s going to look fantastic. Especially if the artist adds a lot of color and shading. I can really imagine getting something like this, but there are other types of designs. Music tattoos come in several different variations. Everything from band logos, music notes, lyrics, and musical instruments to song lyrics and sheets of music. Some music tattoos will depict a person, or figure playing an instrument of the wearer’s choice. These are often seen with a person’s favorite musician – guitarists and classical musicians being the most popular examples of this style. Tattoos, like music, are an art form. And as we are prone to listen to certain songs over and over because of the way they make us feel, we may also feel compelled to get a tattoo to express the very same emotion. It just seems natural to mix these two compelling art forms to convey our deepest feelings. All you have to do is imagine the possibilities and your next great tattoo can become a reality.

Music Tattoo

This music tattoo is that of a nautical star surrounded by musical notes. And that makes me think all sorts of things. Perhaps is it meant to symbolize the song one hears in their own heart when they have been away at sea and away from their loved ones for too long and now the time for them to meet once again is very near. As if their ship has just rounded the horn and they can see the harbor and the life they have longed for since they have been gone. Or it could be the loved one watching the same from the harbor and the music they feel inside themselves when they see their loved one’s ship finally returning safely home to them. There’s lots of things this music tattoo could mean.

Yeah, that’s all a bit soapy for a music tattoo, I know. But I think it’s a nice soapy. Nothing wrong with feelings of love. And there’s not a better reason to get a tattoo either. After all, at the end of the day we are nothing without love in our lives. Everyone needs to love and be loved. It is simply part of the human condition. Perhaps the most important part.
