Perfect Tattoo Designs Review

This is not a membership site but an ebook entitled “Tattoos for Women” which helps women make an informed decision, choose a feminine tattoo or create a unique tattoo design.

Basically it is an ebook that tells you:

• how to create a unique tattoo design that is perfect for you;
• how to take a tattoo for a test drive so you won’t regret it later;
• the best way to choose a design with confidence;
• safety tips for your first tattoo;
• female celebrity tattoos;
• what your tattoo might look like in 10 or 20 years;
• the six tattoo designs you must avoid – I am interested to know what these are?
• …and much much more…

So this ebook claims to be written specifically for women by a woman – and it looks as if the writer Julie asked her questions online then wrote a book answering these questions – so this ebook should pretty much answer all the questions a woman wants to know about getting her first tattoo.

The book costs $27 and it can be downloaded instantly, you also get the following bonuses:

• Popular Tattoo Symbols, Designs & Meanings – 41 page ebook
• Got Ink – 176 page ebook (I have this one and it is quite good to see real pictures of real tattoos)
• 226 Tattoo Designs
• My Favourite Designs (535 images)
• Last minute bonus – links to sites where you can download free designs

If you go to her site you can also sign up to get a free pdf outlining Flower & Plant Meanings – so if you are interested in getting a flower tattoo – this is a good resource. I did not know that a thornless rose meant “Love at First Sight” – good to know!

The product comes with a money back guarantee – so you are completely covered if you don’t find the ebook of any use.

Tattoo Hunter – Lars Krutak

I just found out about this awesome show called Tattoo Hunter from the Discovery Channel. This reality TV show follows Tattoo Anthropologist (that’s not a term you hear every day!) Lars Krutak as he investigates ancient body modification rituals from around the globe – including Brazil, Ethiopa, northeast India and Papua New Guinea. Krutak is an American anthropologist whose specialty is traditional tattooing and permanent body art.

This series follows Krutak as he immerses himself in the daily life of warriors, cannibals and headhunters and seeks to understand their ancient traditions of tattooing and scarification. On his trip to Papua New Guinea, Krutak actually undergoes the process of receiving painful “crocodile cuts” to his upper body in the traditional Sepik initiation ritual, whilst at the Kaningara village on the Blackwater river.

So keep your eyes and ears out for this show on the Discovery Channel – it is well worth it!

If you are interested in traditional tattooing then you might like to check out Lars’ book The Tattooing Arts of Tribal Women – which is totally awesome and has some of the most amazing photographs of ancient tribal tattoos on women!

Infinite Tattoos Review

I do not have paid membership to Infinite Tattoos but it pops up quite a bit in searches so decided to have a closer look.

First off, this site is offering “for a limited time” 500 free designs – I would assume this is just marketing hype and it is available for all time – but worth a look. I signed up and what it does is give you access online to the 500 free designs – they are not bad, quite varied in style and when you click on any of them for a closer look you get quite a nice sized tattoo image – so why not click here now and sign up – it is free and might give you some inspiration - Infinite Tattoos . After receiving your welcome email, and accessing the site again you get to see the first page of tattoos, with the rest of the free tattoos automatically enabled over the next week. This is a good way of getting you back to their site.

The site is very easy to navigate and there are around 30 Tattoo Flash categories that include:

• Angel Tattoos
• Cartoon Tattoos
• Cherry Blossom Tattoos
• Pinup Tattoos
• Lower Back Tattoos
• and many more…

Membership is $27.00 per month and this gives you:

• 100 downloads per month (which equates to 27 cents per tattoo)
• 500 complimentary tattoo designs upon joining
• You and Your Tattoo ebook
• Forum Access – where you can chat and/or ask questions with members and artists
• 56 day money-back guarantee

You can also download individual tattoos for $7.99 if you prefer.

The site claims to have over 15,000 tattoo designs and over 6,000 members – so if you want to check out ideas for your next tattoo and maybe meet some people with the same mindset then this might be your kind of site. You can also check out other people’s tattoos and upload your own as well!

Tattoo Johnny Review

I do not have a paid membership to this site as it does not work like that – this is a site where you actually pick the tattoo you want and then pay for that particular tattoo only. The quality of the tattoos on this site are truly exceptional – I have just wishlisted an amazing cat tattoo and a frangipani one – want to check the whole site out before I make my final decision. I must admit this is my totally favorite site next to Chopper-Tattoo.

When you find the tattoo you like you simply download it – individual prices range upwards of around $10.00 for each tattoo design – some tattoos can be upwards of $20 depending on the size and how complex the design is. For this price you get the colour reference and the actual tattoo stencil – this makes it really easy for your tattooist – your tattooist will need both images to apply your tattoo!

This site is a real joy – it is very easy to navigate with a clean and fresh look about it – well worth a visit.

One thing I found interesting is that they sell a Tattoo Test Drive kit – this kit consists of 1 sheet of tattoo test paper (8.5″ x 11″) and 1 clear transfer sheet (8.5″ x 11″) and a clear set of instructions. This kit allows you to print your selected design onto the special paper and then transfer the printed image to your skin. All you need is an ink jet or laser printer and a design and you are ready to see what your tattoo will look like before making it permanent – it’s that easy.

The site also contains the following:

• My First Tattoo – a great page for anybody contemplating their first tattoo
• Tattoo Store – this store covers everything from Tattoo Flash Sets to Fine Art Prints to Door Size Poster Prints – well worth a look, especially the Tattoo Flash sets!!!
• Tattoo Wiki – this wiki contains an absolute treasure trove of articles on everything relating to the world of tattoos, including tattoo history, celebrity tattoos, and tattoo safety

Tattoo Fever Review

I do not have paid membership to this site but it is judged to be an up and coming star in the tattoo design gallery world. I am seriously considering joining as there is a couple of the ebooks that I really want and it is a really good price at  the moment at $19.99 (reduced from $49.95).

This site is a little bit different in that it is not really a membership site but a one off download of over 300MB worth of packages. These packages contain:

• TattooFever Flash Pack – contains 1000s of flashes
• Just Tribal – contains over 1100 classic black and white tribal designs
• Tattoo Unlimited – contains oriental and tribal tattoo designs
• Got Ink? – an ebook that contains real tattoo photos and some other good information – I have this book from elsewhere and it is a good resource
• Chinese Names – contains over 3,450 Chinese names and includes Japanese Katakana chart and Kanji symbols – I have this from elsewhere and it is a fantastic resource
• The Art of Tattoo – an ebook detailing the basics of tattooing itself – a good resource if you’ve ever considered becoming a tattoo artist yourself
• DragonFever – this is 220 printable pages of dragon tattoos

Grab this tiny ebook from TattooFever to give you some ideas on why you might want to get a tattoo.

The Tattoos Designs Review

I do not belong to this site but am seriously considering it. It truly stands out from all the other tattoo design websites with its totally awesome look. You really have to check it out and have a look at it here: The Tattoos Designs.

There are a couple of sites with similar web addresses – so don’t be confused – this one is a classy, professional website that really respects its visitors by providing a top quality experience. My one criticism is that it is a little hard to navigate at first – but stick with it – it is a nice looking site.

Membership options are:

• One year full and Unlimited Access for $2.25 per month (only $27 in total)
• Special Offer – Lifetime Full and Unlimited Access for $37 (best deal)

The site also offers a full 60-days money back guarantee – so you really cannot lose.

The site currently has over 1,100 tattoo designs, stencils and flash – this is less than other sites but it is only relatively new so plenty of time to add more designs – and really quality wins over on quantity every time when it comes to tattoo designs. With membership you get access to the following:

• The Designs Gallery – where you view the growing list of designs, print out your favorites and you can even organize your favorites into a favorites folder.
• The Members Gallery – this is where members of the site upload their own tattoo pictures and you can view and review them – which is always fun.
• My Favorite Gallery – this is where you can add your favorite designs and photos from the Designs and Members Gallery. You can also add your favorite tattoo studios here too.
• Tattoo Discussion Forum – this is where you get to discuss tattoos with other like-minded individuals – always a good idea.
• Studio Directory – a directory where you get to find tattoo artists in your own area, you can also give feedback to share with others.
• Tattoo Videos – links to videos about tattoos, you can also upload your own videos too.

P.S. Would love to hear from anyone who has membership to this site!

Geoff Ostling – Tattooed Man to donate skin to National Gallery

Mr Ostling’s skin was the subject of a three-part documentary series called Anatomy, which premiered at the Sydney Film Festival last year and was shown at the Tribeca film festival in New York earlier this year. Mr Ostling is featured in the first film in the series entitled “Skin” and is directed by Rhys Graham and examines the 25 year collaboration between tattooist/artist eX de Medici and himself and their negotiations in bequeathing his tattooed skin as artwork to the National Gallery after his death.

Ostling, in an interview with the Sydney Daily Telegraph, said:

“I wanted something unique, so I thought about a garden of plants, of natives and imported flowers, what you would find in a Sydney garden with a distant view of the city from Heartbreak Hill.”

On the subject of donating his skin to the National Gallery, Ostling has said:

“To donate skin is not the most amazing thing in the world but the tattoos are revolutionary. It has never been done as a whole body before and not in a gallery. People can be squeamish about it. Portraits painted on human skin hang in galleries around the world. They don’t tell you that, of course, and valuable books were also covered in human skin.”

As the National Gallery already contains some of eX de Medici’s canvases – they hope to display Mr Ostling’s skin as part of this collection after his death.

It remains to be seen whether this will ever happen.

Tattoo Highway – new reality TV show

The A&E Network is premiering a new reality TV show this May (27th May on A&E) – it features master tattoo artist Thomas Pendelton in the new “Tattoo Highway”. You may remember Thomas Pendelton from “Inked” (Inked – The Best of Season 1) the reality TV show showing an inside, up-close look at the art of tattoo and its surrounding culture–Las Vegas style.

This new show “Tattoo Highway” follows Thomas Pendelton and his business partner and wife Monica in a 1970s tour bus that has been transformed into a tattoo parlour on wheels and decked out with top-of-the-line tattooing equipment. The show will follow Pendelton around the country as he creates unique ink art for the people he meets along the way. The bus has been christened “Ministry of Ink” and will allow Pendelton to tattoo anyone, anywhere – so expect the unexpected as they travel from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to Phoenix and beyond and I would guess encounters with a host of “interesting” characters who want to get inked.

“From the creation of the art to the environment that I tattooed in, it has always been about my customers’ experience,” Pendelton said in a statement.  “In a street shop, it was easy to forget just how personal that experience should be. Rolling up and parking the shop right in the middle of someone’s life, well, there is nothing more personal than that.” Some of the interesting tattoos that Pendelton creates on “Tattoo Highway” include a memorial portrait created from the ashes of a man’s wife mixed with ink; a tattoo created with UV ink that can only be seen under a black light; a giant gorilla riding a scooter, and a pair of matching eggplants.

For those of you who do not know Thomas Pendelton, he is a 15 year tattoo veteran, and was Carey Hart’s business partner on ““Inked” about the Huntington Tattoo Company – the first tattoo parlour to open in a casino. Following the success of this show, Pendelton now has the chance to front his own reality show – but this time on the road. A&E hope the travelling element will help to differentiate this show from all the other tattoo shows currently out there.

Let’s hope that “Tattoo Highway” is as good as it sounds – there are 13 episodes – so cannot wait!

Tongue Tattoos

Tattoos are a hot commodity these days, becoming more and more popular than they have ever been in the past.  There are hundreds and thousands of different designs and styles of tattoos to choose from, giving you the chance to express yourself.  Although tattoos are very popular, the new trend that is rapidly taking effect in the world of tattoos is known as tongue tattoos.

Although many aren’t familiar with tongue tattoos yet, they are just now starting to take shape.  They resemble other designs and styles, although they cover the muscle known as the tongue.  There are tattoos that cover the entire tongue, or just a single area.  In most cases, those who already have them, chose to have their tongue tattooed a certain color.  Whether it be purple, orange, black, or blue, the tongue can be tattooed a variety of different colors.

The designs that are poplar with tongue tattoos include stars, tribal work, and other shapes and designs that cover a region of the tongue.  Stars are popular with the lower area of the tongue, near the tip.  There are also designs that can be tattooed farther back on the tongue, near the middle of it.  As tongue tattoos become more and more popular, more and more designs are implemented.

As far as the procedure goes, it’s very similar to getting a tattoo on any other part of your body.  A tattoo involved needles puncturing the skin, depositing ink into the epidermis.  The needles move extremely fast, breaking the skin and leaving the pigments of ink.  The tongue, just like the skin, will swallow the pigments once the surface has been punctured by the needle.  Once the pigments of ink are absorbed by the tongue, the color will remain there forever.

Those who have had tongue tattoos in the past say that they aren’t very painful.  Unlike tattoos on the skin, the tongue is a giant muscle.  A tattoo on the tongue is often described as a tickling sensation or the feeling of numbness in your mouth.  When the tattoo artist does the tattoo, he will normally use a tool to hold the tongue out.  If you’ve ever had a tongue piercing, you’ll know what it looks like.  Once the tongue is out, the artist will begin work.  The process normally does take very long, as long you hold still and don’t move around.

If a tongue tattoo sounds interesting to you, the first thing to do is find a tattoo artist in your area who is experienced with doing them.  Not a lot of tattoo artists are familiar with tongue tattoos, as they are just now beginning to surface.  A tongue tattoo is a bit on the creative side – something that you just don’t see in public everyday.
