Well I hope some of these things I really do not need to tell most people. But if you are young or hesitantly considering your first piece of ink regardless of age, then there are perhaps some things you should know that may help you continue to appreciate your ink and never grow to regret it no matter how many years you hang around here on earth.
- Do NOT drink or do drugs before you go to get ANY permanent skin ink. Not only is this entirely irresponsible but you may really piss off an artist who is serious about their work. Do you think a professional artist wants you advertising that Casper the ghost face tattoo as his or her regular style of work? It was your idea.. STUPID!
- Think really hard about getting trendy tattoos. Your favorite cartoon character may look great on your bicep when you are under 30. But I have a feeling that once you are pushing 50 Rin and Stimpy or Itchy and Scratchy will not be such an easily recognized fad and you may find yourself being asked the same repeated annoying questions. Save yourself the frustration and regret and make sure you use foresight in this matter.
- Do NOT break the cardinal rule of smart skin ink and put your newest boyfriend/girlfriend or best friend on your skin. Although I must admit I have seen cases where this would have never been a regret, that is RARE and not common for those who initial themselves with past flings or friends and such. Putting initials or a name in a rest in peace piece, is entirely different.
- PLEASE be very cautious of where you put a tattoo. Sure, you can bet on one thing, tattoos are much more acceptable for all types of people these days as it was not when I began getting them. But also consider your future. You may not want that cannabis leaf tattooed on your neck if you plan to be a defense lawyer when you grow up. I once seen a liscense plate with the words MILRTME written on it. Again, same bad concept in advertising in my opinion, and likely to cause just as much trouble in your future.
- Last but not least and repeated again and again. Use foresight. This is why you do not get skin ink when you are high or drunk. Being high or drunk I am sure doesn’t heighten anyone’s senses of careful decision making. If you want to get a questionable tattoo then have the foresight to put it somewhere it may remain hidden forever! Think thats not possible? Check this out!
When I was around 20 years old I got a wild streak in me (imagine that) and decided to shave the sides of my waist length hair. This wasn’t something I would ever have thought I would consider. My hair was truly my crown and had never been short since it had grown out past my shoulders when I was 4. At that time I was working on my backpiece and had a true friend and mentor in my current artist. I had always been curious about a friends tattoo that he had on his head from years back. It was a computer chip on the side of his skull. So even at 20 I thought to myself. This is the chance to get a tattoo that I MAY not want to be so readily accessible in my later years. It was a current musical interest and they had a really BAD ASS icon they used.
Now let me show you what this is! I am showing the sepia version instead of the black and white one you can find here. But since I am stark raving white and have a rather white skull what I have now tattooed on the side of my head that looks exactly like this!
No I can’t show you the live version because my head is unlikely to be shaved again. And honestly, the day I sat down to get that tattoo, as my mentoring tattoo artist was double checking me for last minute changes of heart, my exact thought was this.
‘Well, at worst this will be seen again when I am an OLD lady and my hair starts to thin incredibly. And man, if it does, won’t my grandchildren be SURPRISED as hell!”
So I sat down and got a tattoo that had it been placed anywhere else on my body, I may have lived to regret. As I see it now, its a super cool surprise for any hairstylist that come across my skull to find a snarling skull underneath! And trust me, as I grow older the giggles will grow louder as each new stylist halts mid sentence while yammering on and trimming my hair when they ask, “What is this on your head? A skull? Oh!” I’ll be more entertained by that BECAUSE one day, hopefully, it will be a 70 year old fading redheads skull they find it on!
Of course there are a lot of famous people who are tattooed. But for me, I’ve seen so much ink in my relatively short lifetime that I really need to see something that wows me to actually sit up and give it its due attention. So while I hesitate to give so much face time to one famous person, I think this girl has come up with some really impressive and unique ideas in the concept of tattoos. There are places we normally think of when we think to get a reasonable tattoo. The bicep the ankle or the back. Yeah those seem pretty common. But where else can you think would be a place to put a tattoo where it can be seen by most and make them stop and go, “Wow, now that is a cool place to put a tattoo!” So here I go, I’m going to give Rhianna some serious props on her choices in rare and unusual places to put tattoos, and that the tattoos themselves in their placements are really incredibly unique.
Well indeed I do think this is sort of unique. Not to mention a sexy way to highlight the feminine slope of a shoulder. Not being sure what these roman numerals represent and honestly not worried about it. Just happy that a lady has a lady like tattoo that is above the chest area! I’d love to hear from someone who can focus on those roman numerals long enough to tell me what year or number it represents! Big tattoo fan, writing fan even, horrible at math and all that involves it!
Love the flow of this tattoo. Again, this is one of those hand tats that made me stop and go wow! that’s in a pretty cool place that actually follows the natural contour of the skins normal heights and depths.
Yeah, I can’t lie. Actually wish like hell I had thought about this tattoo when my kids were young. This would have been MUCH more well taken than the oldie but goody EVIL EYE that I used on my kids.
Again! Deliciously sensual place for a tattoo for a lady in my opinion. I wouldn’t much envy the process though, feet can be VERY sensitive!!
Although I am not a huge fan of tattoo’s above the neck on myself, I can certainly see the merit in this lovely piece that she has. Again I think there is a beauty to this tattoo that has to do with following the re-creating the natural curves, ebbs and flows in a females body.
Well I can’t say it enough for Rhianna. The girl has excellent taste or whomever advised her on tattoo content and placement did. She sure does seem to corner the market on places a woman can get a tattoo and add to her sensuality. Of course this is coming from me, I find tattoos on women to be very sexy, but even saying so, most of them do not have the natural and earthy flow that Rhianna’s seem to have. Often, aside from the obvious, a tattoo can be on the skin of a man or a woman regardless of its content, but for Rhianna’s, only a woman could pull those off, even if you changed the content to skulls and cross bones, as long as you stuck to these ultra curvaceous lines, you would still have some incredible unique skin art.

I finally found a tattoo that I feel worthy of being the first “visitor submitted tattoo”. Check these photos of this face tattoo from a dude named Daegan. And of course, let us know if you think this one is “Art” or “Wasted Ink”??

Well I grew
up as a middle classed white girl, but my friends always seemed to be those rough and tumble biker folks who were covered in skin art and would proudly display it to all who would look. At a very young age I had a friend who was a pro artist in the tattoo world and he offered me my very first piece of ink. Although I was only 16 and this was totally illegal for him to do, I had sort of been raised by these guys as I was allowed total freedom as a teen. So once I worked up the courage I went in and got my first, a tiny black rose bud, not quite ready to open up to the world. I suppose that is often what sixteen year old girls feel about their pending adulthood’s. So my tattoo reflected what was innermost and yet foremost on my mind in that time.
I got this tattoo because for most who desire skin ink, they have a purpose behind it, even if you wouldn’t understand it without asking. Hey, ask already! Those with skin ink usually are happy to tell you what inspired this or that particular piece. So indeed there is often a ‘story’ behind the tattoo. But it doesn’t always involve that drunken night you stayed at the blues club too long. Sometimes it involves years and years of thought. Actually, I have spent the last ten years contemplating my next piece, so it’s unfair to assume no matter what the tattoo you may be looking at on someone else’s skin was a ‘frivolous’ decision or driven by impulse.
When I was a kid and lurking around the tattoo shop, there was one particular guy named Brain. Yeah, everyone had a nickname, Brain is just one of them I can safely print without being labeled a PG or R site, but Brain had a very unique tattoo. He had been bald since his late teen years and many years ago had tattooed an actual picture of a brain, in the anatomically correct places, and placed a very realistic looking zipper about an inch beyond where his forehead hairline should have been! So of course the first time I met Brain, when I was abo
ut 13 years old, I asked the usual question, “So why do they call you Brain?” To which he turned his head down towards the ground and showed me what was plastered on his shiny skull.
“Gross!” My reply but I was 13, so there. We gave each other the usual eye up and down to size one another up and Brain moved on into the shop to chat as he usually did several times a week. Then I thought, as only young people do, so clearly full of curiosity, but WHY did he tattoo that brain there? So after a few more visits a week from Brain I finally worked up the courage one hot afternoon sitting on the stoop at the shop.
“Which came first? The nick name or the tattoo?” I asked Brain as he was headed towards the front door of the shop. He looked up at me with a gleam in his eye and wandered over to me in what I can best dub a mosey, yes he moseyed on over. Brain walked like he had been born on the back of a fat horse, or hog, and he pretty much was so what came after was an entire brain shock, culture shock, my first experience with really, never ever, judge a book by its cover.
As Brain sat down beside me he took a deep breath and began. When he was a very young boy, around four years old, his single dad recognized some incredibly odd things for a four year old boy. He noticed that Brain could pick up a book, and read it through. This doesn’t sound all of that wild or crazy, but the first book Brain ever read through was The Trial and Death of Socrates. Okay, so sure, that’s a bit odd. He spent the year he was 7 being obsessed with Crito by Plato. It was pretty fair to say that Brain had a brain, indeed he was oozing brain, barely contained, just like that zipper holding his tattooed brains in. By the time he was 12 he had finished high school. This was very odd, nearly freakish for a flower child growing up in the sixties. Just not something so well heard about as it is now. And of course though I knew of both of the famous philosophers from school the impression of that knowledge was only partially lost on me. When I have thought back to that as an adult it has always wows me. And reminds me never to judge a book by its cover, no matter how colorful or ‘gross’ the cover may seem.

Okay so it is obvious that I have no problems with women in ink. Rather odd actually considering my father once told me he had never seen anything uglier on a woman then a tattoo. I’m quite sure that much to his old fashioned dismay, I never felt the same way. Do not get me wrong, if I see a woman with bad art or just a blatant overabundance of it, bad placement or not very well thought out tattoo’s I too can break out my judgment stick and be pretty harsh, perhaps unfairly, but harsh nonetheless. But what about those woman who have made a career out of skin art? Well, I know one thing for sure, I spent a good part of my formative years hanging out in tattoo shops and I must say I bet their jobs are SUPER FUN! I could just be weird, but the smell of a tattoo shop, the ink, the burning smell the gun can give off occasionally and the alcohol overtone from the disinfectant always just made my adrenaline speed up. So I definitely envy these ladies who have such incredibly cool jobs. I’ve picked out five of the hottest ladies in tattoos these days, along with one example of their ink, and I’d like to share those with you.
Morag Sangster: Morag is the only female artist at Tribe Tattoo studios in Glasgow, UK. She has the rep for some incredible art such as this piece with her photograph.
Eva Huber: Eva works for Off the Map Tattoos in Massachusetts. Incredible wings in my opinion! Great art!
Miss Heidi: Heidi owns Miss Heidi’s Tattoo and Body Piercing in Orlando. I love Miss Heidi because she is sporting that girl next door look, or even the mom next door and she does some kick ass work here on this shoulder piece!
Megan Hoogland: Megan works for Cactus Tattoo in Minnesota. And Megan apparently knows how to handle her firearms in her off time too. Rock on Megan!
Nikki Pettis: Nikki also works for Grinn and Barrett Tattoo. You really need to see a picture of this close up. This little nude fairy in this tattoo has some seriously incredible realism to it. I do not know a man who wouldn’t appreciate this tattoo!
So there ya go folks. Those are some of the hottest lady tattooist that I know of. I’ve seen a lot of their work and none of it has ever ceased to amaze me. More then that, they are all incredible kick ass ladies with some wild stories if you care to look them up and read all about them I can assure you they are no shrinking violets. Believe me, it takes a strong woman to cope with the ins and outs of life in a tattoo shop. If I had been born with one artistic bone in my body, I would have used it to be a tattoo artist so I could kick ass right next to these incredible lady tattoo artist!

Okay sure so its partially because I am new to this blog and want to create something I have confident knowledge and information on and its partially because for the love of me I cannot stop enjoying the crazy things some people have plastered on their skin and called Art. Sure to each his own, it’s your body, live free and die and all that good stuff, but still, if you are going to make your whimsical and sometimes just plain twisted skin art available online, then I am going to look and I am going to spend a lot of time laughing at you, perhaps even pointing at the screen and calling others over to do so as well. So let’s just jump right off here with a post of the top 10 craziest tattoos and I promise to update with new and original ones in the next part of this blog post topic!
Yep! Breakfast on his mind all the time I suppose. I see he has eggs, a link of sausage, even hash browns. Very thoughtful breakfast, perhaps not the most well thought out piece of ink I’ve seen, but really, incredible breakfast spread.
Okay! Great concept actually. And an incredibly optimistic way to view male pattern baldness as well.
I think this ‘piece’ is an incredible likeness. This makes me worry about the person wearing it. Are they in a common place where weaponry or at least the idea of possibly being armed is required? If so, I think this may go a ways in proving that people often end up with tattoos from a lack of impulse control.
I am a geek, what can I say. I can totally understand this tattoo and it positively has its humor. But with the age of technology speeding right by us I am unsure as to if many coders under 20 would understand this now, much less in another 20 years.
No way, no how. I worry about the emotional state of anyone who could be peer pressured into the statement, “Hey, lets get your face tattooed like you are fresh off an ass kickin’.” And from a girl from the looks of those scratches!
Even the geek in me screams, “Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!”
This one is…. well this one frankly rocks in my opinion. This looks REAL! Kind of a wild though to imagine going through life with your chest torn open, but if you have to, it would be seriously smooth to have a wicked Spiderman graphic under there.
Dude….
Actually, there is something about this ink I actually like. And its not her fine form I refer to. I’d like to see some color in this ink, I just feel for her if she goes for it.
This could really come in handy if you are in the position of needing to know ASAP your cuts of hog, or if you need to quick produce a flash sketch of a fresh garden carrot!
So is this wasted ink? I hesitate to label anyone’s ink as wasted. But really, there is so far you can ride on the concept of art. Especially when your ink definitely looks like a drunken night spent passed out around ALL the wrong people with ALL of the wrong tattoo equipment available. I had a better tattoo artist at my 21st birthday party giving discount ink, but only in price, never in quality. I’m not saying that a few of them above do not have some perfected skin ink skills that are obvious in them, but for the most part, a lot of this seems like wasted ink or at least ink received on more of an impulse then I am willing to receive my own.
