Shooting Star Tattoos

Shooting Star Tattoos

This tattoo in particular is much more complex and involved than most shooting star tattoos usually are. This one has a whole series of stars moving through what I suppose is meant to be a star field of sorts. When I see shooting star tattoos I immediately think of making a wish upon a star so I suppose that is the most common meaning behind these tattoos. And that can also be expanded to include hope for a better tomorrow and those sort of things as well. And somehow or another these tattoos always bring me back to the connection that many of us feel to the stars, that no one can really explain.

Another belief behind the meaning of shooting stars is that they stand for one brief, fleeting moment of this persons life that they wish to remember for ever. Much like the brief fleeting moment in which one may witness an actual shooting star, which is not a star at all but is really a meteorite. But we all get that I think. It is still a cool thing to see and takes nothing away from the fascination we all seem to have with the heavenly bodies.

Shooting Star Tattoos

Here we have one of those shooting star tattoos on the top of a persons foot. It is said that this is one of the more painful areas in which to get a tattoo because of how close the skin is to the bones, but it can’t be all that bad because a great deal of people get it done. Usually shooting star tattoos stand for that persons inner most desires to be a star themselves, but it is not always true. I once spoke to a girl who had several shooting star tattoos on her arm and she told me that certain ones represented her children and the last one represented her husband and that they were all stars to her so it worked out perfectly. It just goes to show you that people will always come up with whatever they like the best as far as a meaning goes, regardless of the traditional thinking.

Shooting star tattoos are fairly common in today’s culture and you might find someone of virtually any age wearing one or more of them. The one in this picture has about as much in common with the average star tattoo as it has that is different. The common parts being the multiple stars in movement and the other being the wave that represents the movement itself.

Where to Get Creative and Unique Pictures of Tattoos

Since many people have a hard time deciding what tattoo they want to get, they tend to look at pictures of tattoos. For this, they will either go online or read through some books which can give them an idea of the tattoo style they want to get inked with. And because the number of people that have tattoos nowadays is not going any lower, more and more books are being produced for the sole reason of providing tattoo design inspirations.

Picking out the tattoo design you want can be a big challenge. While there are some people who already have a clear idea of what they would want, there are others who do not know and even have any idea of what it is they would like. But they know one sure thing: they want a tattoo. For this reason, many people take a look at tattoo pictures which they can find on the internet, books, and even some magazines. Also, they can look at the tattoos of some people they see and remember what they look like so that they could have them done on their own body as well.

Once people have found the tattoo they like, they normally schedule an initial consultation with the tattoo artist so that they can determine if their dream tattoo is possible. When they are going to the artist, they normally take along a picture with them or some sketches they have made. In order to get the best opinion, it is advised to visit several tattoo parlours. When choosing which tattoo artist to get, the decision must not always depend on who is the cheapest. This is because the cheapest tattoo artists might lack a good quality from their work. At least by selecting a more expensive artist, you can be guaranteed the quality and design of your tattoo is worth it.

The same principle is true when you are choosing a tattoo. If you want a high quality design, you have to make a good choice. Otherwise, you will end up getting a tattoo that you don't like that much. You will need to make a lot of research in order to do this. But you should avoid the free forums and websites since they can make designs look too generic. It will be very hard to find a design that is truly unique. For this reason, pictures of tattoos can be seen from several tattoo subscription websites.

Tattoo Wings

Tattoo Wings

When it comes to tattoo wings you have several options available to you and what follows are some of the ideas you can use to help decide what type of tattoos with wings you would like. Angel Wings: Some people choose to have their shoulders and back tattooed to look as if they actually have angel wings! Most people who have these types of decorative wings tattoos wear the designs for religious reference or symbolism. Demon Wings: Alternatively, some people have demon wings tattooed onto their back and shoulders. These types are quite similar in design to the angel wings mentioned above and again they are usually obtained for religious reference or symbolism. Fairy Wings: These types of tattoo wings are for people who are enjoy fantasy art. Again the tattoos are usually worn on the shoulders and back, however the design style of fairy wings tattoos are more popular with women than men. And of course there is the popular tribal wing tattoo as seen in the picture. These can be combined with other elements such as dragons, serpents and other creatures to bring the tattoo wings design up a notch. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Here we have a whole sheet of tattoo wings. Angel wings I would assume. Nine sets o them to be exact. All just a little bit enough different to make themselves each stand out alone. Some look like they are sort of loose feathers draped over other loose feathers while other sets look a lot more symmetrical and hard lined, more defined if you will. I would think the former is more realistic because I don’t if there is a single bird in the sky that actually has uniformed, perfectly matched wings. There may be some but probably not the majority of them anyway.

Tattoo Wings

As far as tattoos go, I like the big angel wings, most especially on girls. I just think they look very cool. And I really like them when they are all filled in with colors too, though I have only seen that once or twice before. Most times I have seen girls with tattoo wings they have been in that ugly default tattoo green color and while I still find that kind of tattoo attractive on a girl, that color almost kills it for me. What is it with that color anyway? This is the 21st century, can’t we get rid of that?

Unique Turtle Tattoos

If you have ever seen some of the turtle tattoos out there, you probably know what I mean when I say imagination is the only limit to design. I must admit I was never especially interested in tattoos of any animal but when I saw a woman with a tribal turtle I began to change my mind. Turns out that turtle tattoos are one of the most requested designs. I know that while looking through the database of designs I use, I came across a few award winning turtle tattoos and I was sold.

Everyone has their own preference, style and taste; mine happens to be that of black ink only and small tattoos as opposed to big pieces. That's just my taste however, and it certainly doesn't have to be yours. There is a design about nine inches long and it's a trail of turtles on their way to somewhere or another; they even have turtle tracks in the design. I saw this on a woman's thigh and it looked great. Another man I saw had psychedelic turtle tattoos and they were abstract in design while vibrant in color. My concern over color is that it fades, as all ink does and this is why I lean towards solid black ink (which looks gray or blue as it fades).

For unique turtle tattoos simply start browsing award winning designs to start (I use chopper-tattoos). Once you find a few you love, turtle or not, start brainstorming ways to combine what you've found. If you have a great tattoo artist you can easily take your designs and show them what aspects of each you like and request they draw a unique design for you. Don't be shy or hesitant if this is your first inking - artists love to create unique pieces.

Bracelet Tattoo Designs - Tattoos For Your Wrist and Ankle

The wrist and ankle are attractive and fitting body parts to get bracelet tattoo designs. A lot of different styles and variations can be seen in this type of tat theme. Bracelet designs around the ankle seem to be preferred by women more than men while body art around the wrist are favored by both men and women.

Bracelet tattoo designs can be drawn from a lot of inspirations. Flowers and nature are some examples- floral and leafy vines, for instance naturally wind around things and can make you look classy and nature lover. You can also go with a colorful charm bracelet tat making it a permanent accessory on your ankle or wrist. If you are trying to be tough, you can always go with the stark black barbed wire tattoo. If you are the religious type, rosary beads can always show your spirituality and would definitely look great as bracelet tattoo designs either on your wrist or ankle. Of course, classic designs like tribal and Celtic can always add a lot of character and edge to this type of theme for your ink. No matter what ideas you come up with, just make sure that they can be tattooed in a way that can accentuate the statement that you are trying to express.

Should you decide to get the bracelet tattoo designs around your ankle or wrist, just remember that the level of pain in these areas are on a higher scale. These are sensitive areas with a lot of nerve endings and lesser fats to cushion the skin during the tattooing process. Just make sure that aside from being certain with the designs you want, you should also be ready for the pain that comes with tattooing. But as what most tat enthusiasts say, the pain is something you can't bear, it will eventually go away and will be worth it in the end.

Tattoorism: Dean's Samurai

Last Saturday, I posted some tattoos sent to us from Tammy in Texas. Her son Dean is also tattooed and, in a much bigger way. We'll let him explain:

My very first tattoo was done on my 18th birthday in 2005...[it is] a black dragon with kanji above it. About a year letter I had a koi fish done on my calf...both of these tattoos were just drawings I had found. In 2006 I started working on my rib piece and in 2007 I got together with John from A Different Drummer here in Wichita Falls (he is now at the Lawton, OK location), and the two of us collaborated on bringing the rib piece together. Once the drawing was to our satisfaction, it took a little over 2 months of 3-4 hour sittings weekly until the tattoo was complete. 16-plus hours and worth every minute!

In 2009 I decided it was time for an arm piece and went back to A Different Drummer and Tuan who was in Art Class with me in high school listened to what I wanted... and the arm piece came to life...this one was done in one day and took a little over 7 1/2 hours:

Both pieces are marvelously done.

Thanks to Dean for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday! And a hearty thank you, as well, to Tammy, for being a cool mom, sharing her pride in her son's amazing body art!

Zodiac Tattoo Designs - How to Pick the Best Zodiac Tattoo Design For You

Zodiac tattoo designs combine elegance and symbolism. They are a unique way to express your personality and your inner self to the world. However, there are a number of factors you should consider before choosing the best zodiac tattoo design for you.

1 A simple zodiac tattoo vs tattoo with more elements. A lot of people go for the symbol that represents their zodiac sign. Simplicity always brings some sense of elegance. However, adding additional elements to the original symbol will make the tattoo more unique and original.

2 Combine the zodiac tattoo with different elements. Each of the 12 zodiac signs is characterized by its own element (earth, air, water, fire), flower and color. It is also represented by the image of an animal( Aries-the Ram, Taurus -the Bull, Cancer -the Crab, Leo -the Lion, Capricorn-the Goat etc) or human (Virgo- the Virgin, Gemini -the Twins,Sagittarius-the Archer). Libra is an exception traditionally depicted by the image of scales. The variety of elements associated with each zodiac sign leaves the symbols open to numerous artistic interpretations. Thus you can combine your zodiac symbol with your element or your flower. Plenty of creative opportunities here.

3 Combine your Western zodiac sign with symbols from other zodiacs. For example, if you are a Pisces born in the year of the tiger, you can combine the image of the two animals in an elegant and impressive tattoo design. You can do further research on Vedic and Chinese zodiac symbols that can enrich your tattoo design.

Zodiac tattoo designs give endless opportunities for creative interpretation. However, invest a good amount of time in finding the design that really works for you. When it comes to tattoos, quick decisions equal lifelong regrets.
