Celtic tattoo designs are based on patterns that are thousands of years old and represent the pride and heart of the Celtic people.


Star tattoo designs are extremely popular and as such have come to symbolize a different cultural, social and religious meaning for many millions of people. Feminine tattoo designs are becoming a huge hit with women.

Bird tattoo designs are tied to some of the most profound meanings in the tattoo world.

Christian Cross Tattoos

A great variety of Christian symbols have been turned into tattoo images, none more so than the cross. Christian cross tattoos portraying a variety of the cross are always abundant; after all, this is the most appropriate and most familiar Christian image of all.



Some cross tattoos show Jesus on the cross, while others show the cross, often with realistic wood graining, with a crown of thorns hung over one arm. Other cross tattoos consists of crossed nails such as big, rough looking nails like those that were used to hang Jesus on the cross.


Other popular Christian cross tattoo images include the Celtic cross (probably one of the most popular Christian tattoos of all), the Russian cross, and the Egyptian 'ankh', a cross with a circular shape on top, the ancient Egyptian symbol for 'life'.


Besides the cross, there are other Christian images that are often used in Christian cross tattoos. The fish symbol is a great illustration based on assorted biblical references, a stylized fish symbol is frequently used as a symbol of Christ. This is a compact, but quite prominent symbol that lends itself well to tattooing, especially in black.

However, there are also other tattoos that may be gang related such as the Hispanic Christian Cross Tattoos.

They are an interesting sub-group. If you know anything about their traditions, you won't be too surprised to learn that most Mexicans and other Hispanic people, even though they are involved in gangs or other criminal activities, are deeply religious and rely on their Christian symbols to both identify and protect them.

These Christian cross tattoos are rather complex, many involve a tattooed image of a saint, Jesus, or the Virgin Mary. Hispanic tattoos often have words, as well, usually a Bible verse, perhaps accompanied by a loved one's name. Many Mexican gang members have multiple sophisticated tattoos, allowing the individual to literally wear his identity and emotions on his skin, if not his sleeve!

Brilliant and Beautiful : Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired

Over 80 of the best creators from every style and genre have contributed over 50 stories to this anthology featuring tales inspired by the songs of multi-platinum recording artist, Tori Amos! Featuring an introduction by Neil Gaiman and an extensive roster of talent, Comic Book Tattoo encapsulates the breadth, depth, and beauty of modern comics in this coffee table format book.


I hesitated to buy this book at first. I've sort of fallen away from my rabid Tori Amos obsession, but, I was curious about all the hype and press it's getting (in the Tori community) and found a copy on E-Bay.


It's stunningly beautiful. I admit, like many of Tori's songs, the message in some of the comics is a bit cryptic. Many of them are obtuse in their words, but gorgeous in their artwork. Some of them are silly in their artwork, but amazing in their story. Any way you slice it or dice it, this is a gorgeous optical orgy.

It's hard to not have the songs playing in your head while you're reading the book. I'm hoping they do another volume in the future because there are so many other songs that could be illustrated. Whether you love or hate Tori, you should pick up this book for the amazing artwork and the obvious love and attention they gave to her songs and her muse.

Easy Application TATTOO KIT FAIR/MED

TATTOO KIT - Maybe it's because I'm good with makeup or lucked out having the right skin tone but it WORKED. Just follow the directions. It's simple! The product alone isn't going to magically cover your tattoo. You have to use the right technique, and they give you clear instructions.


Use some common sense, if you need to apply more, do so. Apply around the tattoo too.. and BLEND that area.. ON the tattoo it needs to be cakey, but the powdery stuff will keep it in place. If it's not exactly the right color you can add some colored powder you already have to adjust.

I used this on a BLACK tattoo on my wrist for my friend's wedding and it was amazing.. if you look close you can see there is some different texture to the area, but in pictures it looked like there was no difference to the area at all. I had a ribbon type thing I made to wear at the reception in case it ended up fading, but it lasted.


Covermark, the most trusted name in concealment cosmetics, offers the best way to temporarily and completely hide tattoos. Tames even the deepest, darkest design. Kit offers everything you need to tame tattoos, quickly, easily, painlessly, without anyone detecting they are there.

Most Beautfiul Form of Body Art - Tattoo Designs

If you are serious about getting your skin imprinted with a permanent tattoo, it is important that you select just the right kind of tattoo design for yourself, one that fulfills the following very important requirements.


The tattoos design that you select should be - exactly and only - the one that you were looking for. See that you do not compromise on the shape, size and pattern of the tattoo design, due to any reason at all, for then you are bound to regret getting it done in the first place.


Apart from the pattern of the tattoo design, the colors and hues that you want your tattoo to display should also be the ones of your choice, and preferably ones that suit your skin tone.

It is extremely important that you remember the main reason behind getting the tattoo, and hence, also see that the tattoo design you select portrays the emotions behind it correctly. If it is for mere fashion, you could choose a trendy tribal tattoo design, or a symbolic and stunningly exquisite butterfly tattoo design.




Other than the requirements of the tattoo design that you choose, there are some that you as a purchaser need to consider, while looking for the perfect one. Here are the steps that you need to follow:

First, see that you look through all the available tattoo designs based on your chosen concept, present in various galleries on the internet, or with professional tattoo artists, and only then make your choice. If you want to bear a unique tattoo design, you could ask an artist to create one for you. Also keep in mind where exactly you you’re your tattoo to be situated on your body, and pick accordingly. Remember to keep the budget in mind too.

Next, you ought to find just the right tattoo artist, who will imprint the design onto your skin. You need to be careful while choosing one; see that he or she is a legitimate and expert flash artist.

Make sure that the needles and instruments used by the artist are sterile, you don’t want to end up with any kind of troubles due to it.

Once you have had your spectacular flash art inked into your skin, you will be ready to show it off to jealous viewers, and look gorgeous altogether. However, do remember to be absolutely certain that you want the tattoo, first of all, and also of the design that you select, for the simple reason that if you regret it later, the process of removal will not only be painful, but also very expensive. So choose wisely.

Bird Tattoos Designs Have Taken Precedence

In the days of old, heroes were always accompanied by birds as they went in pursuit of fiends, ogres, dragons and monsters. In most tales of yore, the birds would fly ahead to spy and return to inform the hero of looming obstacles, thus bringing about the famous phrase, 'a little bird told me'!

Bird tattoos are also very popular due to their connection with religion as well as the mystical. Birds can be found in every era of history; stick figurines of birds have been discovered in the ancient Egyptian tombs in the pyramids, bedecking Arapaho Ghost Dance costumes, at African traditional rituals and weddings across all religions. Christian portrayals of cherubs and angels show them having wings, which are synonymous with birds. In almost all instances, birds are symbols of all the positive things in life, which is why many people tend to go for bird tattoo designs, especially for their first tattoos.



A bird tattoo design will consist of a pair of birds, depicted together. They tend to be opposites in characteristics; fair to dark, black to white, big to small. This merely shows the dual nature of the universe; where sadness exists, so does happiness. Where night exists, so does day. In other cases, good and evil are also portrayed by birds, for example, when we have a bird tattoo design of a bird fighting a serpent.



Decidedly, there are some implications to birds that are not completely normal. In China, the bird is called the niao, which also means penis, thereby bringing in sexual overtones into bird tattoos. Also, the double meaning of a cock as either a rooster or a penis dates back to eras past in the Rome of old. Some portrayals of birds are quite negative in impact. In Germany, to be insane can be put politely as to 'have a bird'! 'Bird-brain' is also one of the most famous insults in the Western World, although most people do not associate these negative impressions with bird tattoos designs.


You can get plenty of bird tattoo designs on the internet. In the animal kingdom, bird tattoo designs are only a small part of the entire spectrum. To see other types of animal tattoos, do visit our pages on animal tattoos, insect and reptile tattoos, and sea world tattoos!

Maori Tattoos from Polynesia

In the olden days, the Maori men would wear the tatuaggi tribali not only on their faces but on their thighs and behinds too. In contrast, the women would have their lips and chins decorated with tattoos lines.


If you go through the foto tatuaggi Maori you will learn many things about the wearer as to the tribe of which he is a member, the religion he or she follows and the position and standing he or she enjoys within their tribe. If you are interested in going for a tatuaggi tribali make sure that you choose one which does not have the distinctiveness of the Maori tribe and which has a meaning to the Maoris.


The prevailing tatuaggi tribali communicates individualism, grace and sophistication and are found to be pretty well-liked by all tattoo fans. A quick look at the foto tatuaggi Maori will tell you that they denote high regard, bravery and surrender as in the olden days getting a tattoo or tatuaggi was a very long and agonizing procedure. The tatuaggi Maori are very beautiful and imaginative and come shaped like a whirl or curve. Some of them are combined with Celtic tattoos to arrive at even better new patterns.

The tatuaggi Maori lines are known to be the major foundation of tribal arts all over the world as they have their own distinctiveness in the Polynesian arts. Rather than on the face, the tatuaggi tribali look very attractive on the shoulder. If you take a look at the tatuaggi Maori you will see that most of the tattoos are large or medium sized and are available in different shapes and colors or simply black and white depending on the taste of each lover of body art. Once you get your tattoos done, it is very expensive to reverse the process and also extremely painful, so make sure that you select the right tatuaggi tribali so you can be happy with it for life.

Before you visit a tattoos parlor, make sure you have seen enough foto tatuaggi Maori to help you make the perfect decision. This will avoid you having to make up your mind at the very last minute and save you from making some rash and hasty decisions. The internet too has quite a few websites where you can browse through the immagini tatuaggi tribali and select the perfect one for you.

Ready for Tattoos Removal

In order to understand how a tattoo is gotten rid of, it is first important for a person to understand how a tattoo is structured to become permanent. Basically, when a tattoo is applied, there are small holes that are simultaneously made with the actual injections of the tattoos ink. This ink then bonds with the skin molecules to create what is supposed to be a permanent tattoo.


Medical technology has definitely advanced in recent years, because before, people who got a tattoos only had the option of tattooing over it or covering it if they did not like it. Now, there are two main methods of tattoo removal, the first using a chemical solution known as TCA, and the second involving lasers.

TCA is a solution that is clear, and it actually resembles water. The solution itself is gently, with a q tip, applied to the tattooed area by the person wishing to get rid of their tattoo. What this solution does is permeate the upper layers of the skin, and slowly break apart the skin molecules that have bonded to the ink. This process needs to be done once every six weeks or so in order to prevent scarring.

Another option is to choose a form of tattoo removal that involves lasers. This is, perhaps, the more prevalent removal method, generally because it is considered to be the safest method of removal. In such a procedure, which is done in an outpatient setting by a dermatologist, the heat of the laser destroys the molecules that have bonded to the ink. At the same time, the laser light stimulates more blood flow in the area, which in turn helps to build more new, clear skin tissue.

It is important to note that the laser method will also need to be spaced out over a period of several weeks to several months in order to prevent scarring. Perhaps the more commonly asked question by those people who are looking to get rid of their body art is in reference to how long it will actually take. This answer varies in accordance with the kind of tattoo that was gotten, as well as the age of the tattoo.

Finding Libra Tattoos

I thought it would be next to impossible to find a collection of one-of-a-kind tattoos as I would have to trudge through God knows how many websites but to my amazement, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Some words of wisdom from my good buddy Jerry Chuan finally set me on the right path and helped me accomplish my mission with relative ease. Here are some tips that you should do well to remember when looking for unique Libra tattoos:


Don’t be a freebie seeker.
Chuan showed me the error of my ways so to speak, and made me realize that “free” and “unique” do not go hand in hand. Spending a tad amount of cash can really go a long way in helping you secure a design that will be a part of your body for the rest of your life. You wouldn’t want to fork out your hard-earned bucks for a laser surgery or cover-ups, right? Of course not! You’re better off spending the extra dough on a large pizza (sorry, can’t resist the pun) with all the trimmings to celebrate the end of your search for unique Libra tattoos.

Don’t spend too much
While it’s important to spend a little bit of cash in order to get top quality designs, it’s also important that you do not fork out more than what is necessary in light of the abysmal state of the current global economy, and the large number of paid tattoo gallery sites that charge a fee per design. Decent gallery sites always strive to provide value by constantly updating their databases with original creations for a low one-time price. This means that you can print out as many unique Libra tattoo designs as you like and bring them to your favorite tattoo shop or artist for further action. I don’t believe in paying 10 to 20 dollars for a mere design, and you should feel the same way too.

Avoid Google Image Search

Remember, the key word here is: UNIQUE. Refrain from using Google Image Search function unless you love being bombarded with designs that are so devoid of originality.

Reputable Online Galleries and Tattoo Magazines Can Make Things Easy For You

Online galleries like Tattoo Me Now and Chopper Tattoo have done a great job of furnishing tattoo enthusiasts worldwide with thousands of high quality, printable tattoo flashes. The former allows you the option of combining two or more tattoos into one design so you won’t be terribly hard-pressed to come up with some unique Libra tattoos that’ll make heads turn.

My buddy Chuan opined that tattoo magazines are the best for sourcing tattoo ideas. Although I prefer scouring online galleries, I do agree that you can easily find inspiration from looking at photos in tattoo magazines such as Skin and Ink, Tattoo Review, and Inked. These magazines contain a truckload of wild designs to help jump start your creative juice so don’t be surprised if you end up getting flooded with tons of ideas for creating unique Libra tattoos.

Harley Davidson Tattoos for Girls

Harley Davidson tattoos offer a great look and a way to show your love of motorcycles. You can get the Harley logo, various representations of motorcycles, or various other artistic rendering. Some tattoos have the Harley name with a rose or the logo with flames coming from the sides.


Tattoos have long been used around the world for beauty, identification, cosmetics, and spiritual reasons. They are made by inserting pigment into the skin. There is evidence that tattooing has been around since Neolithic times. They have served a variety of purposes since then depending on the culture and time period.

In recent years, tattoos have become more popular in North America, Europe, and Japan. Increasingly, people trained in the fine arts have been entering the industry, bringing unique designs to tattoo shops around the world.

Temporary tattoos, including ones with a Harley design, have also increased in popularity. Some temporary tattoos last for several months or years. Others fade or wash out more quickly in a matter of days. These types of tattoos are fun for younger individuals, those who aren't sure they want the permanence of a regular tattoo, or for special events.


Finding a tattoo pattern for your new tattoo can be challenging or you may already have an idea of what you want, making the task much easier. Generally, deciding on what you want tattooed and where you're going to place it can take longer than actually finding a tattoo you like. You can search many sites online for design ideas. Look under topics like Harley Davidson tattoos, motorcycle tattoos, or biker tattoos and you'll find many designs on this theme.

You may find that you like design elements from a particular tattoo but want the overall appearance to be slightly different. In this case, talk to a tattoo artist who may be able to customize the look for you. For example, maybe you love the Harley Davidson logo but want to have flames or flowers swirling around it. A tattoo artist may be able to create the look you want.

You want to be sure that you love the final design since you'll have a permanent reminder of it. Take your time in deciding on the tattoo design that you want and look through as many examples of the theme you want as you can find for ideas.

Harley Davidson tattoos make a great choice for those who embrace the biking culture or who own their own Harley. Think about the instant recognition that the logo gets, showing off your own bike, or creating a one of a kind look that incorporates the logo or other related items. Once you've got it, show it off at tattoo contests during events like the Harley Rendezvous Classic or Sturgis Bike Rally.

Cute Girl Tattoos

What used to be a mark of rebellion and strife is now considered a fashion accessory. While most tattoos are still applied to men (and bought by men), girls and women are also getting into the act. There are even cute girl tattoos.


Where men like to have their tattoos on the upper arm, or chest, or shoulder, most girls are aware that what they’re doing has to work with the somewhat more revealing fashions. Thus, a girl needs to think about whether or not a tattoo will look good with a bikini, or a prom dress, or an evening gown. Likewise, girls tend to be a bit more careful about making sure that a tattoo is concealable with professional or casual attire.

So, when looking for a cute girl tattoo, the first thing to think of is "where to put it" – on the back, between the shoulder blades is a common place, as is a circle around the upper arm, or a circle around a wrist or ankle. Another popular place is at the small of the back, right over the crease of the buttocks, because it can be hidden with a modest swim suit – or shown off with a low cut one.

Places to avoid getting a tattoo are on the face, or on the breast, or in between your breasts – the face is a fairly obvious place to avoid a tattoo, just because of the pain and difficulty concealing it. The upper chest is a bit less obviously a "bad place", however, it runs the risk of spoiling the tattoo because that skin shifts and stretches over time, and it makes it awkward to wear anything low cut.

As to what qualifies as a cute girl tattoo, there’s a wide range of options; everything from the now cliché’d "circle of thorns" to roses to butterflies. Pick an image that you’re going to find enjoyable and meaningful for years to come. When you’re getting the work done, be sure to ask to see the health inspector certification. A good tattoo parlor should be as clean as an operating room.

Physchology and Tattoos

Many people who see someone with many tattoos will automatically think negative thoughts. Those who have tattoos are just like anyone else – except for the fact that they wish to stand out and broadcast who they are, simply because they have a strong sense of who they are. Those with tattoos aren’t afraid to show them, as they put them on their body to let others know who they are and what they are about.


Most who decide to look into the psychology of those with tattoos seem to associate them as criminals and study them like they are common rats in the cage. Contrary to this opinion that many experts have, those who have tattoos aren’t in any type of cage. Instead, they are out there expressing their freedom. Whether they are going by what they believe, showing that they belong to a certain group or clan, or paying homage to the dearly departed – there are always meanings behind tattoos.

The psychologist who studies those with tattoos will normally try to get into their frame of mind, which is hard to do. For hundreds of years tattoos have always been a question from a psychological standpoint, with most people associating tattoos in the past with criminals. Even though criminals may have tattoos, there are just as many if not more people out there who are some of the friendliest people in the world who have them as well.

To look at tattoos from a psychological standpoint can sometimes be hypocritical. Although those who don’t have tattoos will try and figure out why someone would want them, it can still be considered a psychological point of view. Those who have tattoos had a reason for getting them, or they wouldn’t have got them in the first place.

No matter where you look these days it’s a common thing to see someone with at least one tattoo. This doesn’t mean that society is dwindling in any way, nor does it mean that mankind is becoming a bunch of clones following after one leader. Tattoos have built there own reputation over the years, gaining in popularity. Over the years more and more people have decided to get them – which only goes to show the phenomenon that is tattoos.

When you decide to look at the psychology of tattoos, you must first understand some of the meanings. A tattoo can tell you a lot about the individual and his past. Although some tattoos may be a bit frightening, that individual may have got the tattoos in his past and turn out to be nothing like that now. Like others out there – the tattoos that were obtained in the past may be left as a reminder for the future.
