What are you doing Thursday night?

Last year the Asian Art museum contacted Taki about organizing an event dedicated to celebrating Japanese tattooing. He presented to a crowded room while Horitomo, Horisou, myself, and Shige did live tattooing in the Grand Entrance of the museum. This year they have asked him to lecture on the subject of Samurai, relative to Japanese tattooing. We are so flattered to be part of this and feel the museum is really taking brave steps towards elevating Japanese tattooing to a "high art." It is amazing for such a conservative institution to want to have events like this and if you want to see these types of events continue you guys are going to have to come down and support us!!!!!! Thanks!

SUNSET Livin'

Man, a few days ago me and the dogs were walking on the beach.




I saw a headless corpse of a beached sea lion lying on the sand by the shore.
It was hard to tell what it was at first because it was caught in a net of sea weed.
The body had shark bites all over it,
the rank stench ran the beach.
The dogs didn't even go to it.
Huge beach crows hopped along the decaying body and picked at the remains.
There must have been a dozen crows eating it.

What can you not take a long drive without?

In this current economic climate many people simply cannot afford to get a top quality tattoo design done on their arm, shoulder or back, for instance. So therefore they are turning to cheaper alternatives such as foot tattoos, which can look just as good even though they are not necessarily on display all the time.

Even worse the tattoo that you got is something embarrassing or just plain ridiculous. This is a huge mistake. See more on Red And Black Tribal Star Tattoo. You may not know this but most of the original art is copywriter by the artist that drew it and only gives their top notch designs to specific websites. How do you look for galleries of tattoos? If you are doing it by clicking random search engine results we have just pin pointed the issue. Also more details on Monster Back Piece Tattoos and Tattoo Lettering H. They also have some sort of sex appeal to them.

Summer's Celtic Cross Honors Her Father

I see a lot of crosses in my travels through the streets of New York City, so they don't generally grab my attention.

This one, however, did:



There's nothing necessarily magnificent about this tattoo, but it just goes to show that a crisp, simple tattoo can be as aesthetically pleasing, sometimes moreso, than an overly-wrought elaborate design.

Summer had this memorial piece done for her father, who passed away in 2005. His initials grace the center of the cross.

It was inked in Tattooville in Linden, New Jersey. This piece is on Summer's left bicep, she also has the comedy/tragedy masks on the right shoulder blade portion of her back.

Thanks to Summer for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

The Longshot

Katie Kitamura, a young Asian ballerina, is the last person you’d expect to write a book about “ultimate fighting.” But her novel, The Long Shot, may be the sport’s best publicity yet.
-The Daily Beast

As you all know Taki's little sister Katie just had her first novel published and as expected it is AMAZING! The buzz about it is growing. The Daily Beast a hip NY blog just interviewed her and we couldn't be more proud! Here is the link.
Also, if you haven't grabbed a copy yet, here is the link to AMAZON.

Women do more research and place more thought into their tattoos. We know what we want, where we want it, and the color (or black and white) before we go to the tattoo parlor. This tattoo will be with us for a lifetime and it's an important decision. Picking a special tattoo at the parlor can be a rushed experience and the designs can be limited. With internet sites you can choose the design on your time: shop, buy, download, print. No one is looking over your shoulder, hurrying you.

Women are special and so is the body art that they choose to decorate themselves with. Over 65% of the tattoos being done today are for the female and we're no longer hiding them. Flowers, butterfly tattoos, angel tattoos, angel wings, heart tattoos, and butterfly wings of various sizes are some of the most popular for women, and one of the more popular locations for tattoos is on the lower back, sexy and visible when you choose, or hidden if it is appropriate for the occasion. The preferable designs for the lower back are tribal tattoos. Other places where we like to be inked are the ankles (usually smaller sized tattoos), foot, the navel area, shoulders (front and back), breast, buttocks, and thighs.

A visit to the bookstore should bring up a number of total tattoo books with numerous designs. Yet when it comes to picking out a tattoo many people just drop in on their local parlor thumb through a few books and say "That one". See more on La Link Tattoo Shop. If the tattoo starts from the elbow area to the wrist then this is called a quarter sleeve tattoos. I'll explain the exact way to uncover the sites that post fresh crisp original artwork so you can find the perfect tattoo for a woman.

In other words you do not want to go from a really big intricate tattoo to a small one as it could easily become a blob of ink. Do hope you have found more details on Tattoo Artist National Salary and La Link Tattoo Shop. If you are truly in the market for a fresh quality leg tattoo design you might want to take a deep breathe because you could be looking for a while. In North America many first nation tribes have used tattoos to indicate status within the tribe to demonstrate acts of strength or bravery in battle or to indicate wealth or roles in society, so see more details on Tattoo Artist National Salary and La Link Tattoo Shop. The design was probably made a certain size for a reason. It's your central location for learning where the good stuff is. See more on Tattoo Shops In Orlando And Ocala Fl and La Link Tattoo Shop

Jenny's Amazing Peacock

Timing is everything when it comes to successful inkspotting. Luck is essential. The turning of one's head can result in missing an amazing tattoo.

Case in point:

I met Jenny and her friend Kate by chance coming out of the subway one day.

Jenny has six tattoos, including this phoenix on her left forearm:


But it was this peacock, further up her arm, that really amazed me:


Generally, the peacock represents self-worth and valuing oneself. In Jenny's words, more poignantly, "be happy with your feathers."


The peacock was tattooed by Poohki at Steady Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The phoenix was inked by Trevor Kennedy at the same shop, although he now works in California.

Thanks to Jenny for sharing such wonderful tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Kate's Snakes

Although it was Jenny (here) who was visibly inked, Kate also had a tattoo, hidden from view.

So when I was done talking to Jenny, I asked Kate if she wanted to share, as well.

Kate unveiled this great tattoo on the lower portion of her back:


(A Tattoosday production note: I never solicit back tattoos but will happily feature them, when offered).

This piece consists of a couple of snakes consuming one another, a symbol of the circular cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Or, in Kate's words, "what destroys us, sustains us".

This tattoo was inked at Twilight Tattoo in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Thanks to Kate for baring her back and sharing her snakes with us here on Tattoosday!

Update: "Anonymous" commented that this looked like the Auryn from The Neverending Story:



It certainly does! Thanks Anonymous!

There are several reasons why tattoos have become popular. In the past, the tattooing process was not very hygienic and often took place in a disreputable looking dive. One look at the stained needles and chain-smoking bearded tattoo johnny and most prospective customers run away. Now you have clean-cut tattoo artists in brightly lit studios doing the job. When you step in, you will see autoclaves and other gleaming pieces of technology for sterilizing the tattoo equipment. The artist appears thoroughly professional and uses new needles for each customer. The experience of getting a tattoo becomes indistinguishable from that of getting a hair cut or beauty makeover.

Are Sanskrit tattoo designs a recent Western phenomenon, or did the ancient Indians already have such tattoos? On the surface, it seems unlikely because Hinduism bans tattoos - much the same case as any other major religion, actually. But we also know that many other ancient cultures also made tattoos taboo - but they still infiltrated those societies. The Greeks, Romans, Japanese and Chinese come to mind. In addition, henna temporary tattoos have been a part of life in India and the Middle East for many centuries, often used by women during celebrations.
