The Many Tattoos of Mena Suvari
Feb 17th
Since her debut 1997 film Nowhere, Mena Suvari has gone on to become somewhat of a popular actress, starring in American Beauty, American Pie, Day of the Dead and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. When she isn’t busy appearing in films and television shows like HBO’s Six Feet Under, she is busy involved with charities whose cause is breast cancer, taking part in the “End Violence Against Women” campaign, being an activist for the African Medical and Research Foundation that is an African relief organisation, modelling for Lancôme cosmetics and appearing in fashion magazines such as Vogue. She has even branched into fashion design, designing a limited-edition three scarf collection. She will even travel to high schools and encourage kids to quit smoking. With as busy as she is, you would think it would be hard for her to find time to get questionable tattoos done, but somehow she manages. The Tattoos On the back of Mena Suvari’s neck, she has the etching of a lion, which itself isn’t that bad. However she made the regrettable choice of getting “word sound power” inked on directly underneath it, which certainly makes sense to her. At least she doesn’t have to spend time staring at it. After having her ink done in 2010, ahead of her wedding to the Italian concert promoter Simone Sestito, with whom she had been engaged to since 2008, she made a point of talking about what she would do to cover her tattoos up to avoid offending his family, since on his mother’s side there are two nuns who would not approve and that is why she “isn’t too keen” on showing them off, despite what the countless open backed dresses she wears would say. One has to wonder if these tattoos had something to do with her divorce from Sestito after a mere 18 months citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. Shortly after, she was seen back at Mr. Cartoon’s tattoo studio in LA having additional words added above her lion tattoo, which doesn’t leave too much room between the original tattoo and her hair. The world will be waiting on baited breath to see what genius insight this latest ink will reveal to the world. Mena Suvari also has a number 13 inked on her chest, which Simone Sestito also got a matching version of on his chest for some unknown reason back when they were engaged. Whatever the reason, one thing that can be said for sure is hers looks a lot better and more stylized than his really generic and ugly 13, which looks like a cut rate prison tattoo, or something that some idiot NBA player would spend $1200 on when it’s more like a $40 30 minute job. The Future It will be interesting to see whether her tattoos will affect what future film roles she receives, or how digital technology will be able to cover them up since not only Mena Suvari but many other celebrities have tattoos that might mean a lot to them personally but seem like just a bad decision to outside observers, like Megan Fox’s Marilyn Monroe tattoo for example.

David Hockney brings color back home
Feb 12th
‘David Hockney: A Bigger Picture’ at London’s Royal Academy marks the artist’s late-in-life return to landscape painting. Large, colorful works of East Yorkshire are featured. He may have traded Southern California warmth for the gun-metal skies and windy damp of his native England, but this is surely David Hockney’s moment in the sun.

A List Celebs and Their Tats
Feb 10th
People think celebrities have it all. Millions of dollars for not really doing anything but standing around with blank looks on their faces, maybe they have to memorize a few lines of dialogue and walk from one spot to another. The public adores them, and they get awesome gift baskets just for going to all of those stupid award shows that are filled with iPhones and $50 gift cards to the Black Angus Steakhouse (or maybe even Red Lobster if they are presenting a prestigious award). Yes it seems like there is nothing celebrities don’t have. In fact, the only thing that seems to be missing from their lives are collections of incredibly stupid tattoos. Thankfully, there is a new crop of A-List celebrities taking steps to correct this, presumably so they can go out and eat a Bloomin’ Onion in peace. Rihanna Rihanna is arguably the biggest pop star going at the moment. Because they both had big hits at the same time, she has drawn comparisons to Lady Gaga. Unlike Lady Gaga though, Rihanna is pretty beautiful, and doesn’t look like a Frankenstein’s Monster assembled from leftover pieces found in the dumpster of a cut-rate plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. She must have thought that this would slow down her meteoric rise to the top of the Billboard charts though, and she has attempted to correct this by getting a number of awful and incredibly stupid tattoos. The most recent were here jail-house style “Thug Life” tats across her knuckles, but the absolute worst could very well be a toss up between the stars that she has tattooed on the back of her neck, which are very reminiscent of the stars that some coked up girl from Eastern Europe thought it would be a good idea to have tattooed all over her face, or the ink on the side of her neck that reads simply “rebelle fleur.” Now, there wouldn’t be too much wrong with that one aside from the fact that in French, adjectives are supposed to follow the nouns that are being modified. So in order for it to translate as “Rebel Flower” which is what we can assume it is supposed to say, it should have been inked on as “fleur rebelle.” David Beckham David Beckham, the former Manchester United and current LA Galaxy superstar is quite possibly the luckiest man in the world. Not only does he have millions and millions of dollars, he also has an incredibly hot wife who also has millions and millions of dollars, but now he also has his very own line of underwear. It seems like everything in his life is coming up Beckham. This wasn’t always the case, though. Before he had the majority of his body covered in intricately designed tattoos inked on by one of the premier tattoo artists in the UK, Louis Malloy, he had one incredibly stupid tattoo on his arm. It was meant to be a tribute to his wife, and said “Victoria” in Sanskrit, but instead it said “Vihctoria.” Is it any wonder he decided to cover it up with sleeves that didn’t have words written in a foreign language?

Why watch the movie when you can just look at this
Feb 7th
There’s something of a story behind this one. This is 27 year-old Annfaye Kao from Taichung, Taiwan . The tattoo itself took all of three months to complete, and was based off of a dream of Annefaye’s. Needless to say this falls into the category of a Tattoo WIN given the intricacy and quality of the artwork. Check out more details in the via link. Submitted by: Unknown Via: Daily Mail UK
