In a world where Lord of the Rings trilogies can reign supreme in movies for so long we are obviously full of people who find the fantasy world appealing. Whether this is some deep seeded notion of subconscious escapism or just a general enjoyment of all things creative and otherworldly, it is obvious in our choices of movies, artwork, toys and yes, skin art, that we have a great love for the unknown, the seemingly impossible and just the outright wow factor of some of the creations that artist and Hollywood have formulated in the last twenty years or so. When I think back to being a kid when E.T. or Star Wars was the best we had in creative ideas for Sci-Fi or Fantasy, I kind of smile inwardly and appreciate being able TO appreciate how much fantasy has expanded just in my lifetime alone.
Great color here. Dragons are considered a part of fantasy art of course. But there is an old saying that resembles, “History becomes Myth when its scholars no longer tell their tales.” Food for thought, if you can grasp that!
Pretty great mermaid in my opinion. But also ouchy fresh.
I expanded this one a bit because, WOW!!!! this really is an incredible freakin tattoo in my opinion. Tell me those blades of grass do not look three dimensional. My Irish ancestral notions are also very pleased with the shamrock darting off to the side!

This bio-mech head is fairly intricate in its detail. For those of you that have never had your dome inked I can tell you, this didn’t hurt much at all. Seriously. Well except for the lavender color trails down the sides of the neck, but the old skull? Very little nerve endings there like other areas, skull tattoos are relatively painless.
Pretty cool breakthrough from where I see it. Looks real and just enough bio-mech in there to raise questions as to is this woMAN or MACHINE!?
This has a predator feel I suppose. A bit of lashing of a perhaps less than normal mech monster but still very nice work!
And WOW, this is a lot of work. And on some VERY sensitive places. And we can’t even see where it ends!
Also a huge fan of the zodiac I can really appreciate a good piece of zodiac skin art. The lovely and sensual Scorpio has found a great tattoo in this creation. Also a very sexy place for a tattoo!
I actually can appreciate this take on Aquarius. This offers a bit more than the usual symbolic water bearer figure.
The ever popular Tribal Art!
Though most of us wouldn’t put them here, the Star or the Nautical Star are very commonly received tattoos.
The cross in just about any form is an extremely long lasting in popularity form of skin art.This particular type of cross is known as a Celtic Cross.
The angel tattoo is ever popular as well. However this is one of the tattoos that men and women seem to get equally as much. Womens angel tattoos lean towards the angelic harmonious themes while mens angel tattoos lean more towards avenging or fallen angel designs.
Wings are also very popular, and as you can see from this unique variation, they don’t have to be the wings of angels! This looks like the wings of a bone dragon to me. Killer art here!
Maori tribal art is also a very popular tattoo. Although this has its roots in the Pacific, the other tribal art listed above is considered more Native to America.
The Dragon tattoo is very popular and one of my personal favorites of course. This one being a spectacular example from my point of view.
The Phoenix tattoo is rich in symbolism and popularity. Great piece of work here!
The butterfly is always ever popular too. This one I am quite sure was a very sensitive one to receive. Some of those fleshy spots in the center of the back really freakin’ HURT!
The fairy is the last on the list for this ten. This one here is also a very great example of the fine line work that can go into things like fairys wings or dragons scales.

Some women shy away from the more feminine tattoos but there are many great reasons to take notice of them these days. Artist have begun to differentiate between areas specifically great spots for men to get inked and have apparently found some more innovative ways to ink women that can help accentuate many features. A few of my favorite feminine tattoos are below. This may be considered rated R to some I suppose.
I remember growing up my main goal was to be old enough to walk to the local tattoo parlor which was situated about 2 miles from my middle class neighborhood. And when I finally turned 12 I dubbed myself old enough to make the journey. I spent a lot of time hanging out with those tattooist. My mom would say that all the time I spent with them is what triggered me to get inked in the first place, but it was just the opposite. I had known I wanted ink for what then seemed like forever. So my journey to the shop was a long awaited one.
Okay so everyone likes flower tattoos. I really don’t. Now, if that flower tattoo is a lotus, I feel differently. So what makes the lotus flower different for me? Well this flower doesn’t get planted in a healthy soil and grow months later or return year to year. This feisty flower is born on the bottom of a pond, deepest in the muck. From there it fights its way slowly up, up towards the light of the sun reflecting on the surface of the water.
This flower is commonly symbolized as an awakening, particularly spiritually, that an individual may be trying to express. A more general definition may be from a person who feels that they have been through a hard time and came out fine on the other side. Just as this delicate flower was once on the bottom living in the much and grew towards the glory of the warming sunshine that finally allowed it to bloom.
