One that is committed to customer satisfaction and will go that extra mile to get you that desired tattoo that you been longing for? I have been researching and getting my facts together and came up with two particular sites that have and have been giving patrons nothing more than A+ service.

Artists Appreciating Words


Going out of town maybe to the shopping mall to get something new to put on and appreciate so that loved one seems to notice you that much more. Listening to music to motivate you through the day , but only to find your self fixated on something else that will Adrenalize your body to inspire you to live and breath that much more. Finding your calling may be the hardest thing in life cause we all need to hear voices in our heads in order to get on our feet and get moving in the right direction. Yep sounds crazy but it's all true, that's what makes us all who we are. Our inner voice , our character that our family sees and appreciates every time you walk into that room. Its your trade mark!
With all the chaos that gos on in this world you cant escape through simple pleasures but to mask yourself with your own form of expression. Ideas are generated through inspiration from others and maybe just a jolt of faith that somehow somewhere your were blessed to receive something great. Don't ever second guess your emotional drift to perfecting your inner-self you'll only suppress this to feel displaced.
This is your Drive , to find yourself with a tattoo ......marked for life............................................. And Enjoying it!

PERSONAL MARKS


Walking around town we will come across people everyday, in the store we shop at, at work, even near our homes we see People with Tattoos placed on them. Sometimes we stare, not at the person per-say, but their Tattoos, making it hard to figure out what the hell people think in order to get one of those even put on themselves to begin with. Just some questions we pop up with in our minds, mainly because there a fine line some people never cross. Self respect for ones self and the thought of a image permanently put on your body causes for some sort of concern. Tattoos have always been a past time with a relationship of artistic showmanship and an emotional connection to the human condition.
Kids at a very young age seem to be so attracted to the thought that a tattoo is the coolest way to be noticed, not thinking about anything in regards to even the basis to why they really need one beyond being popular or just a motivational narrow minded thought, like sex, once you have done it was it worth it? Was it what you expected to be and are you happy in the long run? Perhaps a Temporary Tattoo would be more something can be used so that way itll just be around for a short time and it wont be a burden in any way.
Either way we all may look at the picture or pictures, its all personal to the person who has the tattoo, has no relation to you and its like being surrounded by a bunch of coloring books that are their too look at and maybe appreciate in their own way.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly


Every day almost we hear on the news on TV or the Radio of some one being shot or killed in relation to a tattooed person loosing their mind. And of course the countless gang violence as well that seems to never end. Makes us all question our selves about the relation people have to tattoos and the very nature of becoming violent. Do you think there is a connection ??? Many professors and many private detectives think that their are some correlation. With all the racial profiling going on there is no wonder everyone is being profiled with every single decision that people make, So don't think that you wont be under the microscope for anything.

Expression Of Many Forms

Many Artists are turning the tables, tabbing there interests into the art of tattoos. Expanding there talent , flooding the industry with fresh artwork. Whats the future of the hobby if there ain't any interest on both sides, people that make the art and the people that want it on them. But there is a connection between all the art mediums that keeps everything in check. Its all about originality and the talent that came with it that made the image possible. Keep that in mind when you want something like a tattoo, how can i make this original. Something special for your self that no one possibly has. In the hobby its about you , and you should think that way all the time , cause its you after all that is being marked.

Your Own Personal Tattoo Flash


Tattoo designs are all ways under the microscope from all pedantically tattoo clients. searching endlessly to find that right design for them. If their smart then that's exactly what they would be doing. With the freedom of information in the web its like a no brainier you will unduly find something that your looking for. My recommendation i would give anyone would be draw your own first. Mainly because of this main fact. Duplication! The uniqueness of a particular image must be limited due to having something that you made or something that you mainly feeling comfortable with. It all comes down too is originality and personally to the persons own specs. This is only but a suggestion to anyone that has some sort of artistic background or likes to draw , paint,etc. Who wouldn't want their own work on them? Once you have your work submit to your favorite tattoo artist to implement it all . So he or she can size it to proportionally to your body and position.

Tattoo Reality TV



I'm sure many of us have heard of some of the shows that have come and gone, like Miami Ink. Well A&E is going to premiere a little series named ( Tattooed Highway). This series is not based in a tattoo parlor but on a traveling wheels. Sure would be interesting to see what happens in this show because the many directions this can go , mainly the traveling aspect and people that they will come across. Even the documentary channel's are looking for something fresh to get their hands on to captivate the viewer's. Seems to me that all the networks in the media are scrambling for fresh blood and really don't have a place to go ever, dam vampires. well there you go vampires. The tattooed vampires, hm mm. Maybe.

Temporary Tattoo Versas Permanant


With so many choices being made about what kind of tattoo we all want but have not considered the alternative option first ( Temporary Tattoo). With so many people every year getting there tattoo removed for so many reasons should start to revolutionize the industry with mandatory for people to get temporary tattoos first before considering the real thing. Fact of the matter is that no one want to go through the painful removal process nor the wasted time to get something done only to get it removed a few years later. There is so much money being wasted in the industry because of the fact the tattoos are coming off people than there coming on. Keep an open mind and educate your self first before making a big decision.

Nanno Tattoo for Diabetics


Diabetics have for many years subjected themselves to the everyday constant poking of needles to check there blood sugar levels and injecting their insulin. Imagine everyday , drawing blood just to deal with your medical condition. There are many Diabetic devices that have made it easier in the past years to cope with the illness but its not sufficient enough to eliminate the procedure with an alternative. There are many devices that are in the prototype in the making for diabetics but wont be available to the public in the near future. There is one method that has been experimented is the nano-tech tattoo. This procedure requires an injection of nano-tech particles in the skin, the particles consist of dye like ink. Which change color fluorescent to alert the patient or user that there is a change in there blood sugar levels. This injection of nano-tech particles would have to be re-injected every so often because the tattoo fades due to long use. Would be a great asset to the diabetics , benefits would be unnecessary pricking of the checking blood but unfortunately not the insulin injection itself. This method of monitoring blood levels wont be available in 5 to ten years Hopefully soon diabetics will be cured of this sickness with the help of modern medicine and advancements in science and technology in our life times.

The Power of Ink


There's certainly evidence that women had tattoos on their bodies and limbs 4000-3500 B.C. Mummy's unburied displayed there marks from the past. Influenced so many from past to present, will only continue too. So its been around for a long time . Its so amazing that archaeologist's find these because it brings so information to the table regarding how symbols or cultures once where. Imagine going back in the past and seeing what was used to go about everyday lives. Life spans for people most have been very short compared to today. So if you think about it in a few thousand years , people will still get a look at your tattoo, If in fact people are still around by then.

Haydens tattoo


We all have seen her on Heroes the series on TV NBC network. She has always been on the spotlight since she started acting. "Save the cheerleader save the world"! is the slogan for there series. She is a very beautiful young woman with a very bright future. Just recently she has gotten a tattoo.
Her tattoo reads “Vivere senza rimipianti” (”Live without regrets” in Italian) but there’s one too many i’s! Seems the media is taking this a little to much. Maybe it was suppose to be that way. So it would have a little more meaning for her. Or that if it was a mistake something like that can easily be fixed im sure. Live true to your self and live with out regrets.... so she would probally say that she dos not regret any of it even if it was a mistake or not. I know thats what i would say in my defense .

Tattoo Profile Data Base

Did you know that in the every police department there is a database full of tattoo pictures of either deceased and current felons. Which makes It easier for them to locate them or connect them to a crime or scene. I'm sure we all know that there is a large percentage of crime connected to someone who has a tattoo, but that doesn't mean that because you have a tattoo you are a criminal , just means that for some reason there is a connection. We all hear on the news and on the radio, and this just in a man with a ( blank___tattoo) robbed,killed,stole ...etc... Tattoos have been regarded by some people who don't have them be a lower life form hobby, who of course just don't have the understanding or just have the lack of knowledge too. These are all examples of profiling people because they are associated with a image on there body. Tattoos , no matter how you look at them they are just a self expression of ones self.

Sports and There Ink that Marks the Game


We all watch sports , well most Americans do and while we watch our games we also notice players tattoos being flashed. In the young minds especially are influenced to think that tattoos would be something cool to have. The whole lifestyle of celebrities are then subjected upon our youth. Not saying that its a good thing or bad not its just that the impressions they make plays a big role in minds of people. With every tattoo that is visible usually there is a story to be told. It would seem that every player on the team has to have one otherwise it would be awkward. I have noticed that every possible star on any team , in any sport has a mark. I wonder if the players on these teams influence each other to get inked, which I'm sure. Will players be subject to disclose all there marks to the media when ever they are being scrutinized or interviewed. For as long its out there for the world to see, people will ask questions.

Why Tattoo Conventions are Special

Forever Changing Tattoo

Everyday People from all walks of life go out and get a tattoo at a tattoo parlor establishment and find themselves wondering if they made the best decision on what they ended up getting as far as their choice of an image. Its would seem that a vast majority of people seem to regret their choice or even that moment of engagement of the idea of being tattooed in the first place usually years later. Their are so many reasons that people go and get tattooed. Firstly would be that the individual is in love with someone and wants to show the world that they are by getting there name branded on them. This is the the number one tattoo removal item in the History of the tattoo industry. Secondly would be that a fasination toward a particular image intrigues them, even if the meaning of the image is iirilaviant to them.
