Turtle Tattoos

If your thinking of getting a turtle tattoo there are many different styles available to you. You can choose from a tribal turtle, to a cartoon type turtle or even an actual depiction of a turtle as shown in the picture. But, there is one thing for certain. Turtle tattoos have a very deep and well established symbolism especially in Native American cultures. The turtle is a major character in Native American mythology. In some stories the turtle is responsible for creating North America and in other stories turtles are responsible for the creation of the entire world!! According to the vast majority of these stories, the spirit of the sky was looking down from the heavens through a hole she had found when suddenly she fell through and plummeted into the vast waters below. Concerned for her life, the Great Sea Turtle swam deep to the bottom of the waters, scooped up some earth on its back, and carried it back to the surface as a place for Sky Spirit to stand on. But, even if your not interested in the Native American interpretations of the turtle design, a turtle tattoo can still make a deeply meaningful design. Attribute your own meanings to it and make it a part of yourself.

I personally am a huge fan of turtle tattoos, and this one really interested me by the way it was designed. I really like how there is water and bubbles around the turtle which were used with a cornflower blue and a pastel blue. I like turtle tattoos so much I think I am going to get a few on my arms and lower back. I just recently bought a large book with hundreds of pictures of turtle tattoos, and this really helped me decide how I want my tattoos to be designed. My family thinks I am crazy for liking them so much, but I could care less because turtle tattoos are symbolic for being strong and empowered.

I would recommend getting a tattoo of a turtle as a first choice to anyone. If you really know which tattoo you want to get then contact a local artist and have him or her show you their work and see if they can take care of the design you really want. Its not that hard once you find the right tattoo artist. I know a couple here in town that I trust with almost any tattoo I want put on. Their is one girl that is the best I have ever seen anywhere.

Chest Tattoo

This chest tattoo brings a dark picture together with bright colors and flowers. The color’s used in this chest tattoo are green, blue, orange, pink, gold, white, tan, purple, and black, and all the colors are blended real well. The skulls in this chest tattoo are grey with hints of white around the edges and the teeth. One tooth on each skull is gold. The eye sockets on each skull start off a very light pink on the edges and fades to a black near the outer rim of the sockets. The same goes for the nose of each skull, pink near the back, black near the outer rim. Green vines flow through the nose and eye sockets of each skull. Different colored flowers, ranging from pink to green, and blue to orange, grow on the vines growing from out of the skulls. This chest tattoo is unique and original because it mixes a morbid image like a skull and the beautiful colors of flowers all in one tattoo. This is one chest tattoo that anyone would be interested in, because it mixes so many different styles of art into one piece of artwork. This is a really good tattoo.

This is a great representation of what an average person can do with a chest tattoo. Chest tattoos can be hidden or revealed at will, so you can put just about any design there. And because there is a lot of space to work with, chest tattoos can sport some pretty large designs with a lot of different elements in them. The chest tattoo in the picture is frequently referred to as a chest piece, because it covers from shoulder to shoulder like an armors chest piece. The wearer has combined several different things in his design. On one shoulder is written the word "love", on the other is written the word "hate". In the center of this chest piece is a hand holding cards, generally used to mean luck or chance. I would venture to say that the intended symbolism of this design is to infer that all things in this life are hanging on the whims of fate. And that includes love and hate or peace and war. The again, the bearer of this chest tattoo could have simply chosen the design because it looks really hot and is done in a more traditional type of style. What do you think?

Chinese Tattoos

I was at an ink convention in Las Vegas not to long ago and I saw a lot of artists using the chinese tattoos as an add on to a lot of their designs. I think it looks totally cool when it is done in a hot looking way. Have you ever noticed that chinese tattoos are probably the most popular tattoos out their in the public right now. I think Hollywood and the Hollywood elites have made it so. Tons of actors and actresses now have their favorite proverbs and sayings used for their chinese tattoos. Besides Demi Moore their are probably hundreds of southern California rich kids having chinese tattoos put on their bodies right at this moment in time.

If they want to look cool, what better way to look cool in this environment than to have some hot looking tattoos. It gives them something to parade around at all the new movie showings and to get the camera’s clicking at. It’s a wild time for the tattoo and art industry. If you are looking to gather up some new tatts and hit the town running, don’t forget about that great chinese tattoo everyone is talking about.

Chinese Tattoos are rapidly becoming some of the most recent and fashionable trends inside the tattoo world and indeed the rest of the world too. All nations has its own fashion of tattoo designing and one that strongly resembles the individuals fine art, culture and tradition. Presently, Chinese letter tattoos are one of the most liked fashions. I don’t know what this Chinese tattoo symbolizes, because to be quite honest I don’t speak Chinese. But, there is one thing that I know about Chinese tattoos. And that’s too be quite careful about not only who is doing the design but also what the design means. Prior to inking Chinese tattoos over your skin, you need to make damn sure that you understand the meaning of those letters, or at the least the artist does. A lot of tattoos artists could accidentally misguide you by misusing the incorrect form of Chinese letter tattoos and that is something that you need to remain aware of. Chinese tattoos appear in diverse shapes and sizes and a lot of men and women are at the present getting them on their numerous parts of their skin. These tattoos are very individual and a lot of tattoo artists are attempting to employ Chinese letter tattoos more often. This type of skin tattoo is getting really fashionable with women.

Female Tattoos

The definition of a female tattoo is a lot broader then what it used to be. Once upon a time female tattoos included only those designs such as hearts and flowers. But, now many female tattoos include designs that once fell in the realm of men. These include scorpions, eagles and even anchors. But, there are several female tattoo designs which still squarely belong in the female’s corner. These include fairy, dragonfly and dolphin tattoos. Let’s take a minute and talk about these uniquely female tattoos. People envision fairies as cute girls with magical powers, so it’s not hard to see where the appeal of fairy tattoos comes from and why women like them a lot. The dragonfly tattoo is another winged design that is predominately inked on women. And the dragonfly is often popular because it has the same magical quality about it as fairy tattoos do. Dolphin tattoos are the last favorite female tattoo. They are often valued for the sensitivity and intelligence. So, it’s no wonder that it’s in the top three of female tattoos. What other female tattoos can you think of? Considering the cute bird in this tattoo design, perhaps I should have placed birds on the list.

Rihanna Tattoo

If your looking for a perfect example of a celebrity that has a varied and fascinating collection of body art then look no further then Rihanna’s tattoos. This Barbadian singer, model, and beauty queen has twelve tattoos. They include a music note on her ankle, a pisces sign behind her right ear, Sanskrit prayer going down her hip and a star in her left ear. But, that’s only the beginning. She also has the word ‘love’ on her left middle finger, an Arabic phrase on her ribcage area, meaning ‘Freedom is God’, a trail of stars going down her back and a cute skull with a pink hair bow. Recent additions to Rihanna’s tattoo collection include the phrase ’shhh…’ on her right index finger, the date ‘4.11.1986′ on top of her left shoulder, a henna-style dragon claw, complete with Hawaiian hibiscus flowers and a handgun, which Rihanna got during the midst of all the relationship abuse stories and rumors. These last tattoos were all done between June of 2008 to March of 2009. I wonder what the rest of this year and the years to follow what other Rihanna tattoos are going to pop up.

Word on Stomach Tattoo

Guy with many tattoos, the word Scarred in Old English/Gothic font is on his stomach. Good choice of font as it matches the tone of the religious images.
