Tattoos I Know: Anna's Culinary Ink
Several months ago, one of my co-workers, Anna, wanted to commemorate the completion of her externship from culinary school.
It was funny, because at the time, she didn't realize I wrote Tattoosday and then discovered the site through googling. She stumbled upon this post that featured a chef's knife.
Anna liked the idea of using a knife, but wanted a whisk too. She spotted this piece and met with Vinny Romanelli at Red Rocket Tattoo in Manhattan, giving him the several source images she had found and explaining what she wanted.
He designed this for her and then completed the tattoo for her in about twenty minutes. She had him stick with black and gray and wanted him to emphasize the shading. This is the end result, positioned just above her ankle:

one more thing...
You guys are stoked, your day is about to get so much better... This is another photo from the Musink afterparty and I think it might be the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
I know I have a new happy place to go when times are rough!

AWESOMENESS
Now, I've been to my fair share of afterparties during tattoo conventions and, well, to be honest after a long day of tattooing and dealing with convention goers usually the last thing I want to do is head to a crowded bar filled with convention goers, waiting half an hour pushing your way to the bar to just get a beer... sounds fun, huh.
Well, I have to stand corrected because we headed down to the Detroit bar after the Musink show last weekend, and yeah it was packed with the usual hipsters and bar flies, but this one popped off!
The guys at Gold Rush in Costa Mesa put the night together and there were DJs spinning...
or maybe it was the exhaustion maybe it was the fact that since the line at the bar was so long Colin and I were double fisting drinks, whatever, all I know is that the party jammed and we danced our butts off!
Good Times!

Soundtrack of our lives...
Colin and I just got back from the OC and this was the song we kicked off the trip with...

Stay tuned for photos from the trip...

Unique Butterfly Tattoo Today
A lot of people are flocking to the tattoo parlors these days to get inked. Why do people get inked in the first place? Some say it is for recognition, other for attention, & yet some people need to follow the crowd. No matter what your reason is for getting inked, be sure you actually browse through a reputable gallery of designs before you select on what you need. You cannot erase a design you don't like so think carefully. If you need to check out tons of butterfly tattoos,
Humans have had their bodies inked for thousands of years so this is not something new at all. Designs have been used as a way of expressing personal religious belief, signification of a tribe or group, cultural status, punishment, or out of love. There's been mummies found from 5,200 years ago that have tattoos on them.
The earliest known examples that plenty of people site for tattoos were on plenty of female mummies which date back to about 2000 BC. As stated though, there was a recent discovery along the Austrian border which found a mummy that dates back about 5,200 years & this mummy also has patterns designed on it. So these "inks" go way back!
On top of this, in 1948, a 2,400 year elderly body was found in the frozen ice of Siberia. This ancient male was covered in tattoos on his limbs & torso, representing ancient mythical animals & beliefs. So as you see, tattoos, whether they be butterfly tattoos or otherwise, are a sizable role in society - both past & present.
Body adornment was the main form & reason for tattoos in the ancient world. Today, symbols like butterfly tattoos are merely a form of joy or are done because the person wants that look. In ancient times, women used to have a sure arrangement of dots across their stomach, to symbolize some sort of stature in society.

Erotic Tattoos For Girls
What is it that makes tattoos, particularly erotic tattoos, so intriguing to some people, and so off-putting to others? There are lots of associations and meanings assigned to them and those who have them, of course, with generally disreputable origins ranging from drunken sailors to biker gangs and prostitutes.
Erotic Tattoos For GirlsThen there is the closet tattoo enthusiast such as businessmen or lawyers who gets erotic tattoos on more hidden skin as a way of 'going against the grain' or expressing a hidden side without risking their professional respectability.
Erotic tattoos once had a respected place within many indigenous cultures, according to the authors of Art, Sex and Symbol. Tattoos ceremonies were rites of passage, replacing the more painful practices of circumcision and labia mutilation. Usually performed at the onset of puberty when sexual feelings are on the rise, the tattoo proved one's contempt of pain, which made him attractive to the opposite sex. If a Samoan girl required tattoos to be considered nubile (marriageable), then the tattoo was definitely a sexual lure. For Burmese boys, a leg tattoo might have been critical to attracting females. And Dyak women in Borneo are said to have taken tattoos for the singular purpose of turning on their lovers. The tribe might well have depended on it.

Neal's Foo Dog
This winter has been an especially cold one here in New York and, as any loyal reader can confirm, I haven't reported on many tattoos that I have glimpsed in the city.
However, last night at the grocery store around the corner, I met Neal, who let me take a quick snapshot of his foo dog on the left side of his neck:
Foo dogs are traditional Asian-style tattoo designs, and have various meanings and interpretations. Click here to see some other posts on the site that have featured foo dog designs.
Neal told me that this was inked by Koji at Studio Engima on Avenue U in Brooklyn many years ago. Work from Studio Engima has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Neal for sharing his foo dog with us here on Tattoosday!

my new tattoo!!!! got it today!
i got the lyrics from the second chorus of HIM's song "The Path" as well a tiny little heartagram after it tattooed (in a path) around right wrist & big heartagram tattoo.. the font it's in is from the cd booklet to "Love Metal", which is supposedly Ville Valo's handwritting... i had it done in purple, so once it's healed it will match the darkest part of the old heartagram tattoo..
it says: "i see through the darkness my way back home, the journey seems endless, but i'll carry on the shadows will rise and they will fall, and our night drowns in dawn."
my heartagram and star need to be touched up really bad.
