Anthony's Tribal Tattoo, Inspired by Fiji

Last month I ran into Anthony in Penn Station with this interesting, yet unfinished, tattoo on his left arm:


A visitor from England, Anthony let me take the photo, but he was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't get too much information from him, other than this was a Polynesian-themed design, inspired by a trip he took to Fiji.

He credited Toni at Lycan Ink in Liverpool, England, with the work.

Thanks to Anthony for sharing with us here on Tattoosday.

Repost: Happy Independance Day!

Happy 4th of July. I am away for the weekend up in Woodstock, New York, so I'm reposting a patriotic tattoo that appeared here back in 2008. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday!


I ran into Rob in my neighborhood in late August and he gladly shared his patriotic tattoo.

Rob is a Revolutionary War buff and has a distinct interest in American history.

He wanted an "old school" tattoo back in 2000, and wanted something patriotic back "before it was fashionable". He's referring of course, to the explosion of post-9/11 red, white and blue ink. He wasn't disrespecting or being critical of patriotic tattoos done after 2001, he was merely clarifying for me that his piece was not a product of the huge wave of emotion that surged through the country after that day of infamy seven years ago.

Rob's "Land of the free, Home of the brave" banner with the original 13-star flag was inked by Darren Rosa at Rising Dragon in Manhattan. Work from Rising Dragon has appeared on Tattoosday previously here.

Thanks to Rob for sharing his red, white, and blue patriotic tattoo with us here on Tattoosday on this occasion.

Beautiful Tattoo Ideas of Girls, - Age Sensitive Tattoo,

Beautiful Tattoo Ideas of Girls: Many designs and images are yet to be discovered. The only medium that can provide an extreme head-to-toe makeover for a person is tattooing.The experience is much like repainting a car, except that tattoos are much more specifically targeted per area on the body.



Examples of the most prominent (tattoos) designs available for girls are remarkable in the quality of their artistic expression.

Of the best designs that have a place in tattoo culture, some of the more popular images are butterflies in motion, a female figure seeming to emerge from the hand, celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe flying while holding a heart-shaped balloon, a fire-breathing belly button dragon, and a clawing tiger on the arm.

These are all worthwhile images. Even more samples seen are a Celtic design on the belly, Biblical passages on the back or leg, a tablet of Egyptian hieroglyphics, or even a treasure map, which can be a bit of clever fun for a girl. In addition, others that have made the ink scene include Buddha laughing, roses, supergirls, angels, fairies, Zodiac signs, shooting stars, Chinese characters, and dolphins on a girl's body.



The optimal signs are those like devil wings, flowing blood, and faux broken ribs. Other commonalities, once reserved for men, are the classic biker tats: Death and demons, barbed wire, evil babies, wizardry symbols, and eagles. The location of a tattoo on a girl retains a lot of meaning. An image on the lower back, for instance, can help accentuate a girl's curves, while others can add to her glamor or provide an erotic quality.

One popular idea is to utilize a tattoo to cover a scar! Tattoos have become remarkably attractive and creative, some even managing to be provocative. Whatever the case may be, a proper image in ink can enhance the image of a girl.
