Kristen's Trilogy of Knots

The 34th Street Platform for the A Train has been very kind to us here at Tattoosday, even more so this summer than in years' past.

Take Kristen, for example. She generously offered up this small portion of her corporeal canvas:

Estimating that she is at least a quarter covered by ink, this "trilogy of knots" was the artist's response to Kristen's request to attach the cobwebs on her elbow to the end of her wrist.

The artist, identified only as "Batman" near Canal and Broadway, was also asked to incorporate a Celtic pattern, as well.

The final result was to Kristen's liking and we here at Tattoosday thank her for sharing the tattoo with all of our readers!

Happy Bloggiversary to Me!

Three years ago today, Tattoosday was born.

On July 31, 2007, I put up a post on BillyBlog, featuring a tattoo on a co-worker named Sephora.

The idea was to post a weekly tattoo on Tuesday, and use this is a vehicle to expand my horizons a bit; meet interesting people and learn about tattoos.

There was one problem. I enjoyed it too much. There weren't enough Tuesdays in the week. I was impatient and wanted to post right away, not wait until Tuesday. And so, as Kurt Vonnegut would say, it goes....

So a month later I threw the previous months post up on the stand-alone blog, Tattoosday. And BillyBlog faded.

It's still there, but Tattoosday is my passion and I couldn't have even imagined, back in 2007, how easy it would become for me to talk to strangers about their ink.

The once-a-week project produced forty-five separate interactions in July, we have a 30-day backlog of material, and this past week we registered our 650,000th hit. Not too shabby.

Go see the original post here to see how far we've come.

And a hearty thanks to all our contributors, all our fans, and all the tattooists out there creating wonderful, interesting, portable art. Without all of you, Tattoosday would have been a blip of an idea, and nothing more.

Nick Remembers Billy, I Remember Siki

My first tattoo was modified from a piece of flash at Body Art Studios by an artist who goes by the moniker "Siki". Shortly thereafter, Siki left the shop and went on his way.

My friend Pete knows who he is but, until recently, I hadn't met anyone with ink from Siki, other than myself.

Then, I met Nick on the R train one day after work and, while discussing his many tattoos (he "lost count after 45," they've all connected) , I heard him talking about Siki.

So today's tattoo is by Siki and was, like my lynx, modified from an old piece of flash. Although he adapted it a lot more fully and developed a more unique tattoo.

Siki and Nick had a mutual friend named Billy, who Nick would often go with to get tattooed. When he passed away, they added Billy's name to the bottom of the tattoo as a tribute to their departed friend.

Thanks to Nick for sharing his tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Buddhist Tattoos

Buddhist tattoos are clearly very appealing in terms of style and artwork, however the designs themselves represent a timeless culture which are dedicated to their philosophy and practices of buddhism.

Buddhist tattoos are most commonly designed as the seated buddha with his hands in the form the mudra (dharmachakra) which symbolizes the setting into motion of the wheel of teaching the dharma.

Have a look through this buddhist tattoo gallery and you just might find the perfect buddhist tattoo design you've been searching for.



Most buddhist tattoos represent a very peaceful and tranquil environment.



Buddhist tattoo are often seen alongside flower designs, specially the lotus flower.



Many buddhist cultures believe that tattoo artwork is a sacred practice and monks often double as tattoo artists.

Pictures of Tattoos - What to Look For in Artwork Galleries

You have to absolutely make sure you see crisp, clear images and crystal tattoos. If you're stuck staring at the endless loop of designs public, and this can creep into your mind and settle on something that makes you just a year and. 99% of the guys and gals regret cookie-cutter designs on the body, with it, but I will help you make sure you get to see the fresh, high quality images of tattoos.

First and foremost, you need to see what kind of artwork in the gallery and. Once you find a couple of places, and check to see if they have the real artists make their art. If you have this, and this is a sure sign that the show cares about what they put on their site. Most places do not care, though, and will stick to just about any designs on the public pages, simply fill out their database. They care about the "quantity" of photos of tattoos they have instead of quality.

If this sounds like a bit of time too long for you, and this because it may be. That's why I do not end here article. You can pretty much forget what we talked only about, I am about to show you how to get directly to the galleries better I was talking just now. It involves the use of force in large forums, which is amazingly good to supply you with links and names to each site one work of art you need to know about when looking for great pictures of tattoos.

You can use whatever you want to find a great forum, just to make sure it's fairly large. Once you have one, immediately moved to the archives, because this is the only part you need. Using the search tool on the subject, you can withdraw immediately from all kinds of works of art topics about tattoos. That's all what you need, because it is not where people helped each other on a daily basis, and share information on exciting exhibitions found when browsing the Internet to get pictures of tattoos. You will not believe the difference in the quality of designs that you see on this way, compared to using something like a search engine, which did not bring you to the sites of high technical quality.

These are some of the most basic tips that can be imagined, but it has always worked for me when looking for images as clear as the sun tattoo.

Jessica's Feather for her Mother

I met Jessica on the express platform at 34th Street earlier this month.

She shared this gorgeous peacock feather tattooed on the upper right section of her back:

The piece is an homage to her mother, who loves everything peacock, and has countless items, like bracelets and other jewelery, that emulate the vivid colors of these beautiful birds.

She credits this tattoo to an artist known only as Allison.

Thanks to Jessica for sharing this wonderful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Bird tattoos are truly a lovely choice of tattoo design, most birds are symbolic of harmony, peace and gentleness, while other more fierce birds such as the eagle is often recognized as a symbol of courage and strength.

Michelle's Tattoo Takes Your Breath Away

Michelle has a lot of ink, twenty-one tattoos, all told, but when I stopped her in Penn Station, she chose to share this one with us:

Boldly planted on her upper right arm, Michelle explained that she paraphrased and pared down a longer quotation to read, more simply, "Live for the moments that take your breath away". I believe she was referring to the saying, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

The flowers in the photo are cherry blossoms that were done in blue, rather than the traditional pink because, as Michelle tells it, she's "not really a pink kind of girl".

This tattoo was inked by Fat Tony at Hobo's Tattoo Shop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Thanks to Michelle for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Bear Tattoos

Bear tattoos are commonly depicted in two different manners, one being fierce and ready to strike with an open mouth, and secondly as a more endearing and lovable bear design. No matter what style of bear tattoo you decide upon, there is no doubt that bear tattoos in general are some of the most beautiful and breathtaking of all designs, if you are a bear lover of course.

Enjoy a quick look through this outstanding collection of top quality bear tattoos for both men and women alike.



Adding a little color to your bear tattoo can really bring the design to life.



These bear tattoo pictures above are less traditional, but equally as exciting and clever.



Growling bear head tattoos are perhaps the most commonly seen variety of bear artwork, and for good reason. These bear head tattoos are beautifully frightening!
