"CHEZ MOI"

I am still in my tiny little 'studio' in the attic of a XVIII century building, waiting to move to a vacant and bigger floor underneath ... In the meanwhile I visit the fleamarket, 'hunting' for opportunities ... Last saturday I found this 'Seize' mirror ...

Ladies, get Tattooed the right way

Photobucket
Tattoos are getting hotter as time goes by and the Ladies are doing their best to get unique looking, huge size tattoos which make them be more noticeable than someone having a tiny tattoo next to their private parts. I believe Tattoos are meant to be displayed at all times and not to be kept covered like if it was an embarrasment (if it is a messed up work then it should be covered at all times till is fixed). Remember to be creative when choosing a design and use it to get inspired and create something unique.

Prison Tattoos

Tattoos have continued to fascinate the world for centuries. Not only do they showcase the skill and dexterity of the tattoo artist, they also provide a lot of insight into the character and personality of the person who created or chose the design which is the person who has the tattoo. Here is an interesting collection of tattoos for you to check out.
The most interesting thing about this collection of tattoos is that they are all prison tattoos. One of the other interesting things about this collection is that is features quite a few elderly men, giving you a peek into a world not explored efore. Another interesting thing in this collection is that it features a number of tattoos depicting dates and messages. These being prison tattoos, no doubt the dates depict the term of imprisonment. Liberty and love seem to be prominent themes for obvious reasons.

Tribal Tattoo Then and Now

Photobucket
Tribal tattoos have been used by different cultures for hundreds of years as marks that show the affiliation of people within a particular culture or society. Some people who belonged to a tribe received a mark implanted in their skin that showed they belonged to that particular clan. Some of these marks were very small while other marks were large and clearly visible. The people in a particular area, usually geographical, would immediately identify others by the different types of tribal tattoos. There are still some tribal tattoos that are used for these reasons, but in most cases these days, people with tribal tattoos choose them for the beauty and variety of the designs.
Tattoos have become very popular in recent years, and tribal tattoos are some of the most popular available. Some of the tattoos used for cosmetic purposes could be authentic marks of identification that the tattoo artist borrowed from another culture. Other tattoos are identified with this group because they resemble the traditional tattoos that have been actually used by tribes around the world. Some tattoos, for example, are similar in look to those from tribes in places like Samoa.
These specific tribal tattoos are very distinctive images compared with other tattoos that are currently available. Tribal tattoos are the "in" thing Tribal tattoos are possibly one of the most sought after tattoo designs and the most popular are based on the Maori, Haida, Polynesian and Native American designs. Of course the term tribal has so many different meanings and an almost limitless amount of variations and combinations. The true meaning of today's tribal tattoo lies in the unique allure it has to the individual. People choose these different tribal tattoos currently because the designs are merely pleasing to the eye. In most parts of the world tribal tattoos have no relationship to the identity of the person wearing the tattoo. Some very famous people have contributed to the popularity of tribal tattoos. These tattoos have appeared on backs and arms of some very famous celebrities that have shown them off when appearing in public, creating a demand for tribal-like tattoos from regular folk. The popularity of tribal tattoos has also led to global competition amongst tattoo artists.
Many come up with unique designs by making use of images based on the tribal tattoos that have appeared in pictures or drawings from the tribal people who originally wore these marks on their bodies. There are some skilful tattoo artists who have even become known for the beauty of their tribal designs and most own copyright to these so others cannot use the tattoos without permission. Many of the tattoos are isolated images on the chest or shoulder, but others can cover an entire arm or back. There are tribal tattoos that are in simple black, but others incorporate some color into the design. And what with so many variations to choose from, having a tribal tattoo etched into your skin can be one of the most unique choices you can make.

Kennewick's First Tattoo Convention A Big Hit

Hundreds of people got to peruse tattoo artist's collections, or sign up for a tattoo on the spot.
Organizers say they have about 50 vendors from as far away as Montana. Organizers tell Action News tattoos are becoming more popular.


"We thought the community would really enjoy a tattoo show. If you look around town everybody's got a piece of ink somewhere on their body and so we knew it would be successful," Heather Breymeyer with the Three Rivers Convention Center said. Organizers say getting all the artists to come was difficult. But for a first show, that is expected.

They plan to do it again.
