Natasha Giggs Gets Incredibly Large Star Tattoo Inked
Feb 13th
Did you think she’d disappeared? After news of her affair with brother in law Ryan Giggs hit the headlines last year and after appearing on Celebrity Big Brother things have been quite quiet on the Natasha Giggs front in recent weeks. She had apparently got back with her husband Rhodri Giggs and the pair of them were getting things back on track… or so it appeared. So we wonder what he thinks of her new piece of artwork that let’s face it, is not hard to miss. The Tattoo Unlike most Z list celebrities, Natasha’s tattoo is hard to ignore. Whilst most Z listers may have a small inking, Natasha clearly knew she was going to grab the headlines when she headed to the Flecky’s Tattoo Studio in Manchester and emerged with a tattoo that stretches the whole length of her back. Made up of nine stars and a selection of “swirly things” that connect everything together this is one tattoo that would be a killer to remove should she decide she no longer likes it in a few months’ time. Instead of opting for feminine colours to be added to the stars, Natasha opted to have them darkened – we’re not sure this was the best decision. Photographs Throughout The whole tattooing process was photographed in its entirety which we’re sure Mrs Giggs wasn’t complaining about. Covering her modesty was a small pink towel which she kept on for the duration of the inking. She put a brave face on things as the tattoo was lined and then coloured in and reportedly drank from a bottle of Coca Cola in order to “keep her energy levels up”. When the inking was complete, Natasha looked proud as punch as she left the tattoo studio grinning from ear to ear. She left the tattoo studio wearing a grey hoody with the slogan “I’m the black sheep” emblazoned on it – we wonder what that relates to… Follow Your Heart Also tattooed on Natasha’s back, right under her neck, is a small heart tattoo with the words ‘follow your heart’. This is thought to be her first introduction into the world of body art and it’s clearly a slogan that she follows if you think about her scandalous past. Her latest design out shadows her small heart quite sizeably though so maybe she’s looking to follow her brain in future months… one can only hope. Instead of resting her tattoo and letting it heal Natasha headed out for a manicure and pedicure in preparation for a photo shoot which she had on Friday. She did however have time to log on to Twitter to let her “fans” know about her new inking. “My new ink is siiiiiick! My back is on fire tho haha” she wrote. Only time will tell what her next attention seeking move will be – let’s face it, now she’s had a taste of “fame” she’s not the kind of girl to want to get left behind.

The Psychology of Male Tattoos
Jun 27th
A tattoo is a design that is permanent that is placed on the body through the use of needles and ink. Tattooing of the body is widespread and ancient. The American Indian tattooed their face and body with ethnic arts that related to their temperament, beauty, and physical prowess. Tradition and Culture Inspires Body Art Tattoos Tattoo symbols are used by men to illustrate not only a tribal way of life but also ethnic art. In Japan, the art of tattooing uses symbols that are associated with the Japanese culture and tradition. These tattoo Japanese designs often display geishas, bonsai trees, cherry blossoms, samurais, and the ancient gods and goddesses. The Polynesians who were on the islands of Tahiti had their boys tattooed with messages of ethnicity in order to mark their rite of passage. The messages on body often included good wishes or biblical texts for the child. Later floral and geometric designs are hand hammered into the skin on the ankle and face. The Pazyryk people thought that tattoo designs of dashes and dots would prevent misfortunes. Likewise, a tattoo of a parrot on the shoulder of a Burmese man would bring good fortune. Other people in different cultures used ancient charms and scrolls, Celtic mazes and knots, and Aztec sayings to Russian phrases in order to make a bolder statement. Body Art for the Man Body adornment is basic and ancient to men. In olden days, male bodies were required to get tattoos. At that time, tattoos involved a high level of pain that was believed to be the perfect way to test male masculinity. There were some remarkable warriors of the Iron Age that were known as the Pazyryks. They had tattoos on their bodies with images of beasts to separate them from the others and to note their physical prowess. These tattoos included a mountain goat and two deer on the left are, and two monsters that resembled griffins on the chest. On the right leg, a fish is tattooed from the knee to the foot. On the shin is four running rams that form a single design, while a monster is tattooed on the right foot. The pain that is associated with getting a tattoo serves to validate one’s masculinity. A body that is tattooed not only adds a visual appeal but also lends veracity to the image of the male. Tattoos Symbolize Male Inclusiveness Tattoos were also powerful symbols and charms of faith. A tattoo may convey values, status, and relations of the wearer. Some tattoo designs have a fine line, all black style text that is etched little interior shading and a heavy outline. This symbol conveys the importance of home, the heart, and one’s relations.

Miley Cyrus Breathes and Loves
Jun 23rd
The American singer and movie star is said to have five tattoos. Being the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and the half brother of Trace Cyrus, it was inevitable that she would like the ink as much as the rest of her family. She had her first tattoo at the age of seventeen. She has the words “just breath” inked on the left side of her rib cage. The design is for her friend Vanessa who died of cystic fibrosis in 2007 and her grandfather who died of lung cancer. She said the tattoo reminds her not to take things for granted, as breathing was something that neither of them could do, yet we all take breathing for granted. She had the design close to her heart as that is where she keeps them both. Miley also has a tattoo on the inside of her right ear, it is the word “love” and she is said to have it done whilst her father was having a tat done in 2010. She had the word “love” tattooed in her ear to signify drowning out any negative comments and just hearing positive comments as she feels there is too much negativity in the world. Miley Cyrus also has a heart tattoo on her right little finger and she had a tiny cross on her ring finger. She has never given a reason for these tats but she has said that she never gets a tattoo that is meaningless, so we must draw our own conclusions. Miley’s most recent tattoo is of a dream catcher that is inked on her right side, it is said to be a design of the dream catcher that hangs over her bed. The dream catcher has four feathers that are supposed to represent her four brothers and sisters and this dream catcher is to protect them. Miley Cyrus is a real girly girl and so it will follow that she will only have girly tattoos with meanings behind them. Why else would anyone have a tattoo of a dream catcher, more to the point why would your dream catcher have four feathers to represent her four brothers and sisters? It could be said that the “love” tattoo in her ear could be seen as a little “naff”, but only a “girly” girl would even consider the meaning behind this tattoo.

If I Had This Tattoo, it Would Have to Say “My Daddy Will Kill ME”
Feb 11th
I always figured that “Daddy’s Girl” tattoos were sort of a thinly veiled threat anyway, so why not just remove the veil and get right to the point? Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go get a heart tattoo on my shoulder with the words “Leave Me Alone or My Mom Is Going to Call Your Mom and Have a Talk with Her.” What can I say? I’ve been inspired. Submitted by: Amber Via: Tumblr

Nov 30th

Many people have a goal in life to swim with a dolphin and they will travel long distances to make this goal a reality. As far as tattoos go, a dolphin tattoo is very popular. As a result of numerous requests, tattoo artists have come up with many designs of artwork for dolphins. These designs can be elaborate creations that include more than one dolphin with a beautiful backdrop to that of an individual dolphin. You should keep the tattoo small for a lone dolphin and concentrate on the detail. Usually these kinds of tattoo designs don’t have many different colors.

Sometimes a dolphin tattoo is the favorite of women but men are increasingly getting such tattoos done and one of the more popular places to put the dolphin tattoo is on the shoulder blade. In addition, they are usually very effective when placed on the ankle or on the bicep. Conversely, the designs of larger dolphin should be maximized in order to make a great design of body art. This kind of design can be located on almost any part of body including the chest plate and the legs. Having two dolphins that are playing in the ocean will help to magnify the tattoo. Two dolphins leaping out of the water and swimming together is another very popular type of dolphin tattoo. The dolphin will appear more masculine if it has a black ethnic pattern that is substantial. These make a very beautiful tattoo which will be appreciated by everyone who sees it. Because dolphins live in the ocean dolphin tattoos will regularly usually include some connection with the water. These water designs might include complex wave designs or the portrayal of bubbles. While you’re looking for your dolphin art tattoo design, you will undoubtedly find a design that will meet your fancy. You should take along some pictures of designs that you like and discuss your ideas with a talented tattoo artist. This will assist them to create the exact dolphin tattoo that you are looking for and if you need to change the tattoo design, this won’t be a problem for the tattoo artist.

Oregon man tattoos eyeballs in controversial
Oct 25th
From Toronto to San Francisco, New York to Colorado the latest trend in changing your appearance is by tattooing your eyes, or the whites of your eyeballs to be specific- An Oregon tattoo enthusiast has joined the list of people turning fad into fashion. Matt Gone, known as the man with checkerboard tattoos, said he’s now done something few have tried – injecting ink into both eyes … by himself. During the past 20 years the Portland man has covered 98 percent of his skin with ink and said tattooing the whites of your eyes “is about as far as you can go,” Fox 11 Oregon reports. When doctors do it, it's called corneal tattooing; but when perfectly healthy people looking who are just looking for another space on the body to pierce, tattoo or scar themselves, it's called insane. Gone said birth defects that left some of his muscles underdeveloped inspired him to start tattooing his body nearly 20 years ago as a means to disguise his deformities. But some doctors believe Gone has gone too far with his latest design. Dr. Douglas Meier, an ophthalmologist with the Portland Clinic in Beaverton, said Gone is at risk for infection that could lead to blindness or could even cause him to lose his eyes. “The risk of putting a needle near your eye is grave,” said Meier. “Someone at home does not have access to the equipment nor the expertise.
