Holy cow! What a brave woman! That “wind” tattoo was embarrassing indeed and I love the way the coverup turned out.

It has a double meaning to me. The first is a literal weapon; knife, axe, sword, etc.
The second meaning is deeper and is of the sorts that my grandfather and my father gave me most of my experiences and lessons in life, but…[Read more]

Isn’t this the big love-in altogether? All this positive expression is brilliant, but, let’s face it. Some women give tattoos a bad name! You could put the most beautiful ink on Vicky Pollards dumber sister and what happens? The art becomes a focus of derision and the sentiment becomes warped.

Unfortuantely for many people tattoos are still for the eccentric (musicians, movie stars, etc.), criminals and the ones who actively seek to shock and provoke (Goths, metalheads, punks, …).

It is bad enough for guys with tattoos but apparently grinning your way through hours of (reasonable) pain is also very unfeminine (Oh yeah? Ever tried…[Read more]

No offense taken. I think that’s what she was going for LOL.

She is doing it very well, did she go “Trick or Treat”-ing like that?
Also, from what I can tell with all the face paint it won’t be long before she turns all the boys’ heads :D.

By the way I just noticed something I didn’t see earlier:

Have you already thought about the size and location of your tattoo (In other words: How much are you willing to spend)?
Also, do you want it to be b/w or (partly) coloured and what kind of style do you like?

Hahahahaha nooooo, don’t go!

I think the question is not “Do your tattoos have a special meaning?” but “Have you put enough thought into the design and placement that you won’t consider covering it up or having it lasered off in a couple of years?”.

It’s probably easier to invest planning time and thought into something that does have a special…[Read more]

I hope you take no offense if I say “Holy cr*p, she’s scary!”

Given how bird tattoos (swallows, for example) are more popular again that is one funny piece well executed!

My problem is that i look at alot of artwork, but it seems that i only really appreciate the art, but can’t actually see myself with it as a tattoo.

Those TINY wings both Nicole Richie and Kelly Osborne have on their shoulder blades:

That is lovely indeed, but then again I am biased, I love Art Nouveau style!

Wow that’s amazing… *winces*.

Also the story to go with it made me laugh out loud quite literally. Just proves my theory that the majority of people are retards, and the sane ones are often not the ones you’d expect.

That is indeed a great piece. How long did that take?

That is one sweet cover-up. Here’s a rather blurry picture of the final result:

Only a few scabs left, most of the tattoo is now clear. I am convinced a bit of the red area (where he accidentally shaved off a slight spot) needs redone. The scab came off when I took off my cardi. Bummer!
Other than that it’s looking good.

Thanks for your “timeline” I was worried whether it was a bit much too soon.

Matthew, it is really endearing that you take the time to comment on this pointless spam.
That said, I say “whatever floats your boat as long as no children or animals are hurt in the process”.
Foot fetishes may be bezarre to me and you but there is far wore out there!
