The art is not just being flaunted by a number of celebs around the globe today, but also by people of ages and across cultures. In fact, sleeve tattoos styles are the most popular types of arm tattoos known yet.

When it comes to getting a tattoo, having it at the right place of the body matters just as much as the design itself. What good would it be if you have a really rocking tat when it's hidden under your clothes all the time and all you really want to do is to show them to the whole world? Rib Rib tats seem like all the rage nowadays. Because of all that skin, it's a wonderful canvass for any captivating design. However, unlike the back it provides a new way of presenting ink on skin. Wear a nice back-less dress to a party or a bikini in the beach and people will be ogling at your tat. Men only need to pull up their shirts to get the same result. Lower Back The lower back has always been a crowd favorite. Just when people think you don't have any ink on you, you wear that low-rise jeans and there it is. It's great if you want to surprise people, which is why a number of "squeaky clean" celebrities opt to have any tattoo art on their lower backs, like Jessica Alb...

My friend Candy and I decided on my eighteenth birthday, that we were going to go and get a tattoo in honor of our adulthood. Candy knew exactly what kind of tattoo she wanted, but I was undecided. Tigger had been her favorite character for ever, and she wanted to be reminded of him permanently. I somehow didn't believe that a child-like image of Tigger was the correct way to celebrate adulthood, but hey, that's Candy! I wanted to make sure that if I was going to be permanently marked for life, it had to be by something meaningful. I didn't know what, but maybe something that said "this is me". We arrived at our local tattoo parlor an hour early, to look through the tattoo books, there were stacks, and I was hoping that by searching the tattoo books I would find what I wanted. The first tattoo books I glanced through had some incredibly scary looking artwork that I couldn't imagine anyone would ever want. Apparently, people did though. I wanted something femin...

Designing your own tattoo can be a great choice - instead of winding up with the same old tattoo parlor design that everyone else winds up with, you'll have a unique, personalized image that truly represents your personality and style. However, designing your own tattoo isn't all fun and games. Be sure to think about the following aspects when designing your tattoo: 1. Location, location, location The type of tattoo you design will be limited, in large part, by the area of your body it's going to be applied to. If, for example, you're designing a full back piece, you'll have a lot more lee-way in adding design elements than if you're planning a small tattoo for your ankle. In addition, if you work in a professional field, you may want to consider a somewhat tame design if your tattoo will be placed in a location that isn't covered up by your clothing. It's sad, but some business people may prematurely judge you if they see a skull and crossbones stickin...

Tattoo Patterns Why is doing research on tattoo patterns important before getting a new tattoo? There are many reasons for that but the number one reason I think is because it's a permanent mark on your body. Even though now days there is laser removal technology but it's still not 100%. So to simply put it, you don't want an ugly mark on your body for the rest of your life. Another recommendation I have is don't tattoo your boyfriend/girlfriend's name on your body. It's just too high of a risk. Not jinxing anyone here but what if something in the relationship didn't work out and it's time to move on for a new relationship? You can imagine trying to explain that one would be pretty difficult. I've actually heard a guy say "it's my mom's name!" but seriously, who would buy that? The purpose of researching tattoo patterns is to find something you like, or something that'll give you an idea of what you like to have. I personally li...

Tattoo Letter Designs The Two Different Types - And Their Importance When people search for tattoo letter designs, they are usually searching for one of two things: 1) English lettering that is curvy and artistic. 2) Chinese lettering that is accurate. With regards to English lettering, finding the right tattoo letter designs can be tricky. Unlike some types of artwork, lettering is like handwriting - it is easier to do forge if it is something you are familiar with. As a result, it is a good idea to go directly to your favorite parlor and see what lettering they have available. This gives you an opportunity to see the types of letters they are familiar with, so that you can be more confident that they are able to correctly create the look you are looking for. If not, go to another parlor. Chinese lettering can be tricky. The meaning of the tattoo letter designs changes based on the accuracy of the writing. Far too many artists unfamiliar with Chinese leave off an important line or mar...

When you get your first tattoo you may not know much about tattoo care. Peeling is a part of the healthy healing process of your tattoo. It is normal for your tattoo to peel slightly after it is first completed. A typical tattoo will start to peel around 1 week after you had the ink applied. Of course this will vary according to how your body heals, whether you heal fast or slow but it is a general guideline. So your tattoo is peeling, now what. Well first off lets discuss why it has begun to peel. Peeling is a result of the damage you did to the skin. It is much like the peeling from a sun burn. You need to be very careful at this point during tattoo care. You need to ensure while cleaning that you don't accidentally remove areas that were not ready to be exposed or you may end up damaging your design. Tattoo Care Most importantly during the peeling process is not to itch or scratch it. It will become bloody itchy as you can imagine but remember the time and money you invested and...

Perfect tattoo designs do not only depend on style, size and colours. It does not really matters if it is big or small, a coloured dragon or a black and white tribal tattoo design - even the most beautiful tattoo designs look bad if placed in the wrong places. Here is a little help for you to decide where to get inked: - First point is PAIN. Choose according to your capacity to withstand pain. Some parts of your skin are more sensitive than others. Those spots should be avoided if you are the kind of person that does not really like suffering. Your tattooist will probably inform you that neck and ankles as much as ribs are some of the most sensitive areas. Usually the areas where it hurts more are those right over bones. Believe me; you do not want to get your first tattoo on your ribs. Or let's say it in another way: if you are looking for an intense experience, then those could be the right spots for you to get a big and coloured tattoo design. Of course, the more the tattoo desi...

Tattoo guns are better known as tattoo machines because they are used to create tattoos. The first prototype of this machine was made by Thomas Edison, the famous inventor of light bulb. The machine however, was not intended to create tattoos but rather as a sort of design transfer mechanism or as an engraving machine. This idea was later copied and modified so that sometime in the 1890s, another person thought of revising Edison's machine and incorporated an ink chamber. The presence of the ink chamber enables the machine to let ink into the skin which gave way to the invention of the first ever tattoo gun. Since its invention, tattoo machines have evolved over the years into finer and safer form. The introduction of electromagnets onto the machine has made it possible to control the speed, the depth and the pressure being applied during tattooing. Thus, tattoo has become a precise form of art. Tattoo guns come in a variety of sizes. Some are able to apply a single color of ink wh...
