American Shoulder Tattoos
American Shoulder Tattoosshoulder are common locations for girl's tattoos. The lower back is especially popular for butterfly tattoos. A small foot tattoo of a flower with its stem curling around a toe is a fun idea to consider.
American Girl Tattoos
Looking for pictures of tattoos isn't as much fun as it once was. Many of you are struggling mightily to find something other than a big collection of awful, generic designs and blurry artwork. I hated seeing this cookie cutter junk, too, which his why I'm giving you the inside scoop on quickly and efficiently locating the amazing galleries that have bundles of crisp high quality pictures of tattoos.
This will help you out so much when choosing artwork for yourself. Seeing the best artwork possible helps give you great ideas and it gets your thoughts racing in a good direction. If you end up seeing nothing but generic pictures of tattoos, there's a strong chance that you'll settle on a generic tat, which is never a good idea. 99% of people who settle on a cookie cutter design end up regretting it within a month or two. It's shame, because tons of people are stuck with tats that they absolutely hate right now.
So, how do you avoid that terrible artwork? It's simple. Just avoid search engines. Just stay away from them and never rely on their lists to show you where the best artwork galleries are. They never, ever show up in their lists these days. That's the main reason why millions of us get caught up in a whirlwind of awful artwork, because 90% of us use engines to search for tattoo websites. Now for my final and most important tip: Big forums solve all of this for you. The bigger the forum, the more topics about tattoo artwork you can snatch from their archives, which is the key to uncovering great pictures of tattoos.
It's your golden opportunity to find all of the amazing galleries you've been sorely missing out on. Just step into a few of the fairly big topics and have a bit of fun skimming them. The posts are filled with names and links to the fantastic artwork sites that others have luckily found. It gives you a bullet proof way to pull up huge collections of crystal clear pictures of tattoos. Even better, you are doing this while staying away from that generic stuff out there.
I wish everyone knew how to find sensational pictures of tattoos, but many people will end up staring at generic art every day.

Pin Up Girl Tattoos
It is no longer just for male but women of all walks of life embrace it more and more, especially the artists and actresses. Pin up girl tattoos, girl back tattoos, sexy girl tattoos, biker girl tattoos are just some of the kind of tattoos available for women. It is a fashion statement that appears on female's shoulders, stomach, neck, back, legs and ankles, also found on more private body parts. The trend is growing at a fast rate.
Why women do tattoo themselves? It is a need to express their personality and embellish a body part and most women would tell you that it is an art.
What does tattooing consist of? What is the technique used? What are the health precautions to take?
Tattooing is a technique ancestral used thousands of years ago. In those days getting tattoos meant being part of a tribe, or religion, like pirates with their skeleton image tattoo.

Sarah Channels Emma Goldman
I recently had the intense displeasure of discovering that my camera had broken. For someone whose spare time is spent taking pictures of other people's tattoos, this was a harrowing experience, especially since my BlackBerry's camera is flash-less and takes good pictures under only specific lighting conditions.
So what's a poor inkspotter to do? Pass out his card and hope for the best.
And despite dozens of cards distributed to many people with cool tattoos, the only one who has really come through for me is Sarah, who I met last Friday on the subway platform at West Fourth Street, as I waited for the D train to Brooklyn.
Possessor of several tattoos, the one of Sarah's I spotted was on her inner left forearm. My photo was blurry and, as the D pulled into West Fourth, she handed me her card so I could follow-up with her. Thankfully, she is a woman of her word, and sent me this photo yesterday:
Since Sarah is a writer and journalist, I'll let her do the talking. You can check out her work at her website ohyouprettythings.net and/or read her blog at champagnecandy.tumblr.com. Sarah explains:

It says "It's not my revolution if I can't dance to it"As a lover of type tattoos, I had inquired about the font used and Sarah did not disappoint: "the font is Garton and the words revolution and dance are in Miama".
The tattoo is my most recent, and it's a paraphrase of a possibly-apocryphal Emma Goldman quotation. It's a line that spoke to me the first time I heard it. I'm a political journalist and a feminist activist, and Goldman's always been someone I looked up to. Also, I became a political person through music, and dancing and music have a particular significance for me.
It was done by Ryoko at Brooklyn Tattoo [who we most recently saw inked Julie Powell's tattoo here] and she's super-awesome...

Jessica Biel is The Best Ever
Here is Jessica Biel at an A-Team event wearing some kind of jumpsuit that shows the world that she has the best ass in the history of ass. Jessica really is hot, she is so hot I’m going to have to force myself to watch that movie even though I know it has to suck. More images after the break...
Ganesh Waits for the A Train
Actually, Kerry was waiting on the platform for the uptown A Train when I walked by at 34th Street.
How could I not stop and ask her about this tattoo:
This absolutely stunning depiction of the Hindu deity Ganesh took between eight and nine hours to complete.
Guy Ursitti at Thicker Than Water is the tattooist responsible for this work of art, the newest (at the time I met her) of Kerry's approximately fifty tattoos.
The detail in the tattoo is absolutely incredible.
Work from Thicker Than Water has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Sean Shares a Host of Traditional Tattoos
I ran into Sean at the Foodtown in my neighborhood and when I stopped to talk to him about his tattoos (he has nine), I ended up with photos of several pieces, all of which reside on his left arm.
Most of the designs are traditional tattoo subjects, all of which were inked by Eli Quinters at Smith Street Tattoo Parlour in Brooklyn. Work from Smith Street Tattoo has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
First up is this amazing lighthouse:
Sean explained that this tattoo is for his mother, as this tattoo is based on her "favorite lighthouse," the Fastnet Lighthouse on the most southerly point on the coast of Ireland.
Then there is this owl tattoo:
This was done for no other reason that Sean has always liked owls. If you love owl tattoos, be sure to head over to this site.
Then there is the elephant tattoo:
He has this piece because "elephants never forget".
I know we posted a sugar skull yesterday, but here's another one:
This was all Eli's design. Sean gave him free reign and likes the fact that it is unusual in that there are not a lot of colors in it, like one sees in most sugar skull tattoos. For all that have appeared on Tattoosday previously, check this link.
There is also the traditional female figure, not modeled after anyone in particular, just done in a traditional style:
And Sean's last tattoo is this bat:
He told Eli that he "wanted something spooky" that included the moon. Quinters free-handed this piece, starting with a white Sharpie and then finished with a darker Sharpie before finishing the tattoo.
What's neat about all of Sean's tattoos is that they flow nicely together, as readers can see elements of many of the tattoos on the borders of the photos of specific designs.

Pride of America Tattoo
I connect my love of books are not the United States, plus this week have decided to form part of our anniversary of Freedom Day. So I decided to provide a tattoo that symbolizes the pride of America. The tattoo of an American bald signal of our state of freedom and the flag is a great event. You can not ask for much other than the United States, unless you get into an estimate of the hot dogs, and I think that today force a little weird.
Sugar Skull Sunday - One From Ryan
Since I seem to capture more sugar skulls than any other design, why not reserve a day just for these decorative symbols which, at their roots, have deep religious significance?
Two weeks ago, I met Ryan, who has ten tattoos.
Of that lot, he offered up this design on his left bicep, which Charlie Foos created for him at FlyRite Studios in Brooklyn.
Charlie Foos is now at Read Street Tattoo Parlour in Baltimore.
Aside from the traditional nature of the sugar skull tattoo, Ryan also loves Mexico and this design recalls that beautiful and diverse culture south of the border.
