Can you guess WHY they had lines tattoo'd on their toes? (answer below)



Because they are knitters. This is the line where they need to start decreasing for the toe of their socks. Love it!!!

Next tattoo idea art

Posted by lasty on , under | comments (0)



For my next tattoo I am thinking I want Joan of Arc on my lower leg. So I am scouting for pictures of her to tweak or use. This one I found in a kids magazine at the doctors office today.

It may be abit romanticized but I like it. I'm going to keep looking though.

tattoo facelift

Before: here is my shoulder tat from 1992ish. Originally done at Tattoo America Hampton Beach NH. It was flash I picked out and asked for rainbow colored wings on. It was also a cover up of a smaller broken heart. It got old and tired looking and I didn't like how the had colors faded. (and wasn't thrilled with the original colors in the first place) I also didn't like how the left wing looked one dimensional yet the right one looked ok.
Yesterday I had it re-done by Chris at Atlantic Studio in Rockland Maine. I think he did fabulous with what I gave him to work with.

Needless to say I am VERY pleased with the results. It isn't a tattoo I would pick out for myself today (ahh youth) but at least now I am not embarrassed to have it on my body.
Kids let this be a lesson to you to always pick the colors you want in your tattoo. Not every tattoo can be fixed later on. And even those that can will have limitations. I got lucky.

I just found out a friend also has ink from Atlantic Studios. Check out her work: A before shot of a piece she decided to update.


Transitioning.
In progress.
And the new updated look. Excellent work. I love it!

And some wrist ink with meaning.


I knew she was cool before but now she is super cool! Thanks N for letting me share the pics.

A Freaky Coincidence

So last night I finally counted all the stars on my leg. In a twist of fate the number is exactly 42. How cool is that?



Fabulous!!!

Happy Mothers Day!

Yesterday being mothers day I decided it was the perfect time for that family tattoo I had been planning. My idea was constellations representing the kids and my husband. It fits perfectly with the Lion King thing we have going here. (Long story-see older posts) A big plus is that DH's sign is Leo. What better to go right above Mufasa's head? Here is some of the work in progress. (my sister came with and took the pics)


Chris of Atlantic Studio hard at work. D and I had a blast joking around with him. He made the experience fun. Not all tattooists are good at that part of the job. (some personalities just mesh together better than others too) He was very cool.


This is my DD's sign, Virgo. (left side of calf) OK I took these photos so excuse the bad quality. It isn't easy snapping pics of my own leg with a crappy camera.


DS's sign, Aquarius. (wrapping around back of calf)


And DH's sign, Leo. (on right of calf above previous Mufasa head, also showing part of Aquarius)

It probably isn't technically correct, not all those constellations are in the sky at the same time. And not all stars may be represented. However with tattoos sometimes it is about the representation, not the technicalities that is most important. I am very pleased with the results. He did a fabulous job.

Dog tatoos

Posted by lasty on , under | comments (0)



Just a couple of dog related tats I found to share.

Someday I want to get my akitas paw print as a tat somewhere. I am to nervous to try to get a portrait because I am so picky.
This pug looks excellent though.

Being a reader I really love word related tattoos. I wonder what the specific script is in this case.

Someone needs to clue Ami in to what PETA REALLY does. I'm pretty sure he would be appalled. Especially being an american bulldog owner himself. His partner Chris also owns a pit bull.

Check out this firefighter tattoo website that is incredible.


Unfortunatly I did not find anything remotely similar for Law Enforcement. Just a few here and there. This one above was under "patriotic" on a regular gallery. I know there are plenty of cops getting work related tattoos. I've even seen a few of them.

Surfing for tattoos





Check out the awesome tattoo blog I ran across. It will keep you busy for a few hours for sure. (It did me.) http://www.tao-of-tattoos.com/tattoo-designs-blog.html


Not that I need any more ideas. My list so far for the possible future includes:


Star constellations added above The Lion King tat. (to represent the family and my love for stargazing)

Re-coloring and re-doing my heart wings. (a tat facelift so to speak)

The USMC blood stripe with the words Semper Fidelis (in red) down my right leg.

Something with Aslan. (Combines my thing for God with a beautiful animal.)

I am toying with a Disney themed dog tat on a leg. Trying to work out the details in my head. It would take multiple sessions as I have it in my head thus far.

Joan of Arc. (Mixes faith with armor and strong women)

A celtic tat, either a Pat fish design or something in gaelic.

I would love to have a half sleeve on one arm. Something beautiful, colorful and timeless. Perhaps a repro of some artwork I admire.

I also have a weird scar on my collarbone from a surgery that I would love to either get covered or get something opposite of to distract from it. (busted during judo-needed a plate to put humpty dumpty back together)

Hubby isn't nearly as jazzed about all my tat ideas. Especially the half sleeve. He prefers tats on women only be in specific places. Or should I say HIS woman. No arms, necks, or breast work. That only leaves my legs, and back as most of my remaining canvas. Considering the time they take, the pain they cause during the process, and the costs involved, I would say he is safe from me running out to get a full body job anytime soon. Good thing though. (Though if I looked like this
I'm sure he wouldn't give a crap.) VBG
