Inking Her Own Story One Tattoo at a Time

kat von d celebrity tattoo

“I’m not a rocket surgeon,” says Katherine von Drachenberg, unaware that she has mangled the popular expression. “I know I can be smarter, but I’m pretty good,” she says in a husky voice, shaking her long, black hair. Then, to punctuate her goofy declaration, she switches on a megawatt smile.

The tattoo artist and star of the reality-TV series LA Ink, a slinky, wild thing from the edge, holds the centre of a Toronto hotel lounge. She has landed here temporarily to promote High Voltage Tattoo, a hybrid book that includes tips on getting a tattoo and caring for one as well as a mini-biography and tattography – behind-the-ink stories about her own, and some of those the artist has created on others.

With the appearance of a fearsome comic-book superhero in low-slung gold lamé leggings, black leather, thigh-high platform boots and a midriff-baring top and vest, Kat von D, as she is known, wears her tattoos of roses, skulls and portraits (among other things) like armour against the world.

“The ‘aware’ on my hand,” the 27-year-old says, pointing to a tattoo of the word, “came in totally handy the other day. …

 “It’s hard to stay positive sometimes … I am reminded to reassess a situation and try to do everything with love, you know?” she explains, turning her star-spangled alabaster sculpture of a face from a profile to a full-frontal assault of other-worldly beauty.

But if her name and looks suggest a castle-dwelling Goth warrior capable of wicked pleasures – she put a small tattoo under her chin so people would have something to look at as she downed shots of tequila – she is also, underneath all the coverings, sweet.

She’s girlish in her desire to explain herself. She seems intent on proving, just as she did to her strict, religious parents, that she is just an ordinary girl, despite the inks on her skin.

“I was in a constant struggle to prove myself to my dad. He just thought I was hanging out with bikers and not saving my money. I was, like, ‘Dad, I am a good person.’ The tattooing thing got in the way,” she says ruefully, arching her blackened eyebrows.

Her Argentinean family settled in Colton, Calif., on the outskirts of Los Angeles after living in Mexico, where she was born. Her father followed in the family tradition of medicine. Education and classical musical training – two hours of rigorous practice a day – were paramount for her and her two siblings.

But at 14, she fell in love with punk music and a 16-year-old boy, James, who had a sky-high Mohawk, tattoos and a penchant for black eyeliner. She dropped out of school and hopped a Greyhound with him when her parents forbade her to see him. Her first tattoo, a J on her ankle, which she still has, commemorates the love she didn’t think she could live without.

Three months later, she returned home, leaving James behind but having acquired a new infatuation. At 16, rather than return to high school, she began working in a series of tattoo shops to apprentice and develop her style as an artist. By 2005, she was well known enough to be invited to join The Learning Channel’s breakout reality show hit, Miami Ink.

Fired because of mounting tensions on the show after the second season, she was also drinking heavily. In her book, she writes about getting a large tattoo, Mi Vida Loca (Spanish for My Crazy Life), across her upper back after drinking a bottle of tequila. She prides herself on her wild ways. At 22, she had married a fellow tattoo artist, Oliver Peck, after knowing him for only two months. “I do as I feel,” she explains.

In 2007, unhappy with her life, she returned to L.A. to be near her family, she writes. She sobered up, left her husband and opened her own shop, High Voltage Tattoo – a space of red floors and yellow walls that she calls “my church.” In her stripper platform footwear, she also strode into the starring role of LA Ink, a spinoff offered after her departure from the original.

She quickly became a fixture on red carpets and in the gossip magazines. After a romance with Alex “Orbi” Orbison, a drummer and the son of the legendary Roy Orbison, she started dating Nikki Sixx, the multiply divorced 50-year-old bassist for Motley Crue and father of four. Not one for understatement in clothing, hairstyle or words, Mr. Sixx describes her as “wall-to-wall heavy metal, a B-52 bomber dropping nuclear F-bombs on full-tilt boogie.”

Her exposure increased when she launched a Kat von D line of cosmetics with retail chain Sephora last year, marketing it as “old-Hollywood glamour with an L.A. vibe.”

The fame has brought a scrutiny she doesn’t enjoy, however. “We don’t think fame is a good thing,” she says of her family, including her sister and brother, who both work for her. “We come from very private lives. We’ve had stalkers before. But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for the ability to do what I love.”

It is often pointed out to her that her work is about vanity, youth and a passing trend, but she valiantly defends it. “Tattooing will never go away. It’s like art.” She has no fears about the eventual wrinkling of her canvas, either. (Eventually, she wants a full body suit of tattoos.)

“People always say, ‘Imagine her when she’s 80,’” she says, adopting a whiney voice as she screws up her nose. “But I look forward to my 40s and 50s and 60s. In my 80s, I think I’ll look like an old gypsy woman. I’m going to play the accordion and have a hairless cat and live in a castle and have blurry tattoos and lots of stories to tell.”

Ms. von D is a cauldron of contradictions. Just read her body. There are portraits of her parents, who divorced three years ago, and her siblings, alongside profanities. The approval-seeking daughter who often worries what others say about her has “the motto of my life” – an acronym for “Does It Look Like I Give a Fuck?” – written on the outside of her right hand. She does not seek attention, she asserts. Her flashy clothes, makeup and tattoos are “a form of self-expression.” She is aware of the irony that her art, which is highly personal, is drawn on a public billboard for all to see and comment on. When photographers expect her to wear tattoo-revealing clothing, she gets upset, she says. “I’m like, this is not for you. It’s for me.”

More rich and layered than a character in a novel, she is a charmingly strange, marked creature with a heart of gold, full of sweet sentiments, bold declarations and glaring malapropisms.

“I think it’s just like a rosary or a crucifix,” she says of her tattoos’ powerful reminders. “It’s so easy to get disfocused,” she says. “You know?”

Star Tattoos Meaning And Magic

Posted in Designs by admin on March 28, 2009 2 Comments

There are countless amazing  tattoo designs to choose from including japanese tribal tattoo designs, animal tattoos, zodiac designs, chinese tattoos and various symbols all hot ideas and designs in henna, ink, and airbrush tattoos. I found this article on Star Tattoos which delves intot he nautical star design, one of the oldest of the star designs and one of the best ‘first’ tattoos you can get. 

Star Tattoos – Meaning Behind The Magic

The nautical star design is one of the oldest and most original of all the star tattoo designs. It is interpreted as a dominant symbol and has a long history. The first use of nautical star tattoos date back to ancient mariners when they used to have them positioned on their body to align with the northern star and from this they could figure out if they were going in the right direction and hence guide them home.

Today the nautical star has been adopted by many groups. The Punk Rocker movement adopted Star tattoos and was originally influenced by Sailor Jerry, who was one of the original and revered tattoo artists of the modern age.

Star tattoos are generally connected with masculine groups but the powerful emotions of strength and unity are also very strong among lesbians who have now also adopted the star tattoo and tailored the design to their identity.

The most commonly used star tattoos are the 4 and 5 pointed designs, but also Moon Star Moon designs are also popular and can look more feminine than the nautical star.

The increasing number of people who are having individual star tattoo designs is down to the fact that it us such a versatile shape that can be adapted and incorporated into many ideas. Many people have small ones done in discreet areas like on the wrist which can be hidden by a watch or bracelet. They are also great for covering up an old tattoo that was maybe done badly. Another great idea is to incorporate it into an existing design to enhance or add detail.

Other groups that use the star are the occult or people that practice witchcraft. They use the Pentacle star design which has 5 points and is taken from the Greek word Pentegrammos which means 5 lines. The lines suggest a link to the devil at the points where the lines cross.

But don’t worry, if you still want a 5 pointed star tattoo design without the dark meaning there are plenty of other more light hearted designs out there that can adapted to suit you.

Here are some ideas on combining star tattoos with other designs.

Place the stars in descending sizes on either side of 2 swallows with a heart in the middle. Looks stunning.

Shooting stars but where the stars are replaced with delicate flowers and the flowers are connected by small tendrils that cascade to the left or right. Looks great on the shoulder or hip.

Tribal Tattoos with a pentacle star in the centre. The tribal design is then framed around the star to look like barbed wire.

My favourite is the design that has 5 pentacle stars in a straight line in descending sizes going down the centre of the back.

Star tattoos are a great first tattoo design to get done because they are so adaptable and regardless of their size still have the same powerful meaning.

How To Choose A Tattoo 101

How To Choose A Tattoo – Tattoo 101

Choosing a tattoo is not an easy decision. Choosing the right tattoo can take hours if not days. You want to pick a tattoo that is uniquely you. You want a unique tattoo design that tells the world something about you.

The decision to choose a tattoo should not be taken lightly. A tattoo is meant to be permanent; it’s something that will be with you for many years, if not forever. The fact that you’re reading this article means that you are giving some thought to the process – that’s good. This article will discuss the things you should consider when you decide to choose a tattoo.

finding tattoos

Take your time and make this decision only after careful thought. Don’t rush yourself, you may end up regretting the whole decision. Don’t give in to peer pressure. This is not something you do on the weekend after having too much to drink.

Be clear about your reason for getting a tattoo. The art that you put on your body is a means of expression, make it an expression of you. Choose a tattoo that fits you. Don’t make it a statement of the new you, because you don’t know how long that new you will be around, but the tattoo will. Keep in mind there is pain involved. Are you willing to endure it?

Research prices and get an idea of the total cost of the tattoo that you want. Some artists charge between $100 to $250 per hour. Small tattoos can take between 30 minutes and 1 1/2 hours. Do not go for the cheapest artist you can find. Remember, you get what you pay for. If you don’t have the budget for what you want, take some more time and save up. It can’t be stressed enough, be very definite about your decision. This decision is more long term than the house that some people live in or the people they marry.

Find a professional tattoo artist, someone who is qualified to do the job. Check with people you know who have tattoos. Find out where they went, who they used and what their experience was like. Find a parlor that is concerned about the laws, all laws. If they will tattoo someone under the legal age, then there may be other laws that they don’t adhere to. This could be a threat to your safety. A good professional tattoo artist will take the time to talk to you about your design. They can show you samples of their work and you can see how the designs look on real skin.

When you choose a tattoo you also choose the place on your body where it will be. This is almost as big of a decision as the design of the tattoo. Keep in mind your occupation. Although tattoos are becoming more socially acceptable, there are still many employers who don’t want their employees to have tattoos showing. Is the tattoo something you want to show the world or only an intimate group of people?

kanji tattooYou probably already have an idea of the type of tattoo you want. Make sure you choose a tattoo that you will be proud of. DO NOT RUSH. Take your time and find the right tattoo for you. What message are you going to tell the world by your tattoo? The internet is a great place to shop around for tattoo designs. In one place you can see thousands of unique tattoo designs and print them out. Consider combining a couple different tattoos together to design your unique tattoo.

I can’t say it enough, when you choose a tattoo, you are making a statement to the world. What do you want your statement to say? Take your time and choose a tattoo that you will be proud of. Make this a decision that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

Proper Tattoo Aftercare

Posted in Body by admin on March 26, 2009 1 Comment

Tattoo Aftercare – Proper Care of a New Tattoo

Tattoo aftercare is one of the most important things you need to consider after you have got a beautiful tattoo done on yourself. Here are some ways for proper care of a new tattoo.

default Proper Tattoo Aftercare

Tattoo Aftercare

So your impulsive behavior got the better of you and you finally got that cool tattoo done on yourself this New Year.

Well, I know you can’t really blame yourself, that design was awesome and it would really look ultra fabulous with the sequined halter you purchased. But, sporting a new tattoo may not always be an easy affair.

Once you have a new tattoo embedded into your skin, you also need to ensure proper care of the new tattoo. Tattoo aftercare is often forgotten in the initial euphoria of getting a tattoo done.

Proper care of a new tattoo begins the moment you have engraved it upon your skin. Agreed, this is a work of art and it needs to be showcased to your friends, but tattoo care can help you in the long run and visibility of the permanent tattoo.

Tips on Tattoo Aftercare:

  • Always listen to what the tattoo artist has to say. Most tattoo artists have their own set of instructions about the dos and don’ts of tattoo aftercare.
  • Ensure you follow this routine even if you find it difficult to maintain it everyday. Sometimes, you may need to have the area bandaged to prevent it from being infected. Always stick to the instructions suggested by the tattoo artist in this case.

  • Ensure you keep the area bandaged for at least 2 hours once the tattoo is done. Every person has a different texture of the skin and sensitivity factors so make sure you consult with the tattoo artist about this point. Never reuse any bandage.
  • Once the bandage is off, wash your new tattoo under running water and use a gentle soap. Use your fingers to gently wash off the surface of the skin.
  • Pat the area dry with the help of a clean paper towel. Avoid cloth as it may harbor certain bacteria and cause some reaction with skin.
  • Consult your tattoo artist to know which cream would work the best for you. This will help skin to heal faster. Apply a thin layer of the cream and use it at least for 2 days. This will keep the area moisturized and it will also act as an effective disinfectant.
  • Keep a check for two days and by the third day, you can switch to a light lotion. Look in the market for specific tattoo aftercare lotions that would be mild and without all the perfumes and additives. This will help to keep the area moist.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun in the first week. After a few weeks, your tattoo will definitely need loads of light and air but overexposure to the sun may not really be good for the tattoo. The UV rays can cause the tattoo to fade at a faster rate. Later on, you can go in for a good quality sunblock.
  • It is definitely fine to shower with a new tattoo. Tattoo aftercare in this case would be necessary when it comes to having a luxurious bath in the tub. This should be definitely avoided as soaking a tattoo for longer hours in the water does not exactly prove to be a good idea. You may even have to avoid a good swim for the initial weeks.
  • The skin in that area may also peel off after a few weeks. This is normal and would happen because the skin has heeled. In such cases, do not touch that particular area of the skin. This is the time when your tattoo is healing, so simply avoid touching it fretting about it.
  • Always try to wear loose fitting clothes. This would help prevent the constant rubbing of the cloth against the skin and also help the tattoo to heal faster.
  • In case of specific allergic reactions, you may need to consult the doctor immediately. This can happen because of the inks used or the skin may have reacted in a different way to the cream that is being used. Sometimes, you may require a change in the cosmetics or creams. In such cases, the doctor would be able to guide you which step you need to take with regards to tattoo aftercare.
  • In case of swelling, use ice packs on the area. This will help to soothe the inflamed skin.

Follow these simple steps and sport your new tattoo without all the hassles. Tattoo aftercare is very important if you want your skin and the tattoo looking its best, in the long run.

Highly Prized Japanese Tattoo Symbols and Designs

Japanese Tattoo Art: Japanese Tattoo Symbols and Designs

There is something that is so uniquely mysterious about the Japanese culture that it has somehow both mystified as well as inspired the Western World today. From the rich history of the samurai warriors and the daimyos to the life under shoguns, the colorful culture of the Japanese is so far away from that of ours that it has the magical ability to draw us into it. This article deals with the exotic world of Japanese tattoo symbols and designs.

irezumi tattoo

Japanese Tattoo Symbols and Designs

A world where you are greeted with some of the most enticing scents of exotic brewing tea, and a place where your senses will eagerly await the majestic obstacle of the cha ceremony. Yes, Japan is a place that has somehow intoxicated our minds with its art and its intense philosophy.

The beauty of the Japanese landscapes, woodcut art forms and watercolors have all been long since admired for their tranquility and beauty. And, they have also been represented by the beautiful art of tattooing. The Japanese art of tattooing has many names, two of the most common being – irezumi and horimono. Irezumi is the traditional word for a tattoo that is visible on the body and covers a large surface area, like the back. Yes, tattoo art has a long and rich history in Japan.

Due to the early influences of Buddhism and Confucianism on the Japanese people and their culture, the art of tattooing has always had a somewhat negative connotation for most of the people. The Japanese tattoo is considered to be the mark of the yakuza, who is a member of the Japanese mafia.

The Early History of the Japanese Tattoo Art
Archaeologists have said that the first few settlers of Japan, the Ainu people, used to use facial tattoos. There have also been several documented reports about the ‘Wa’ people – which is the Chinese name for the Japanese people – who were said to dive into the water in search of fish and shells and who decorated their entire bodies with tattoos. These documents date back to almost 1700 years ago.

However, the Chinese culture was very highly developed and for them the act of tattooing was considered to be barbaric. When Buddhism was brought into Japan from China, it also brought along with a very strong Chinese influence and thus, tattooing was perceive as negative. Criminals were tattooed o identify and punish them in society.

Modern Japanese Tattoo Art
Although many of the younger generation find the whole concept of tattooing fashionable and trendy, most of the Japanese population still considers it to be something that is linked to the underworld of gangsters and mafia.

Most of the younger generation however, tend to get tattoos on their upper arms where it cannot be directly visible. But, with the Western influences gaining in popularity all over Japan, tattoos are now being shown off more frequently than it once was.

Japanese Tattoo Symbols and Designs
Japanese tattoo symbols and designs dates back as far as 5000 BC. It is also highly possible that the art of tattooing in Japan could have existed well before this date. Japanese clay figurines that date right back to the 5th Millenia BC have also been found with their faces engraved or painted so as to represent tattoos. As far as archaeologists and historians can tell, tattoos in the olden days were believed to have held a special magical or religious meaning to the bearers.

Kanji is a calligraphy style of letter writing that is used by the Japanese. It is indeed a widely popular choice amongst those who are looking for the best Japanese tattoo symbols or designs. By using this kanji method, you can create as well as display any message that you want to. Most of the popular kanji characters displayed today translate into a number of words and emotions such as love, happiness, laughter, wealth, lovers, beautiful, sadness, loyalty and duty.

From beautiful, exotic flowers to fierce Japanese dragon tattoos, or even large intricately designed samurai warriors, Japanese tattoo symbols and designs work for everyone and anyone. A Japanese koi fish tattoo swimming lazily across a woman’s hip, a tiny ring of beautiful cherry blossoms fused together as an armband or at the ankle, a fierce looking emerald serpent slithering up someone’s calf, or a samurai warrior and a lady embracing on a back – as wonderful as this art of Horimono seems to be – you might very well find yourself being lured into getting all of these beautiful Japanese symbols and designs made on your body. After all, you can never stop at one can you?

Native American Tattoos

Have you seen a sexy tattoo on someone’s body and wondered what it was? You may have not heard of Native American Tattoos, but these are an integral part of how tattoos gained their popularity. Here is some information on Native American Tattoo…

Native American Tattoos

Nothing catches the eye and brings on awe better than a really good tattoo on a well-toned body. It instantly becomes a fashion statement with the deepest impact. Literally too.

But those of us who think of tattoos, as merely a striking fashion statement would need an awakening to what tattoos are really all about.

Tattoos aren’t just a fascinating form of art. They delve deeper into the traditions and culture of civilizations that came into existence centuries ago.

Tattoos, beyond enhancing beauty, symbolized different aspects of the person it was created on. Tattoos were used for various purposes, as a mark of identification of a particular tribe, to signify the rank or grade of the individual in a tribe, to bestow praise for accomplishment or achievement, and in hope to attain special powers.

Among the oldest in the art, tattoos have been a significant part of the Native American culture for centuries now. There were a variety of reasons why the Native Americans would get tattooed. Many men from the winning tribes of a war would often receive a tattoo signifying their conquest and victory.

Many Native American tribes were known by their tattoos. There were different markings that distinguished tribes and the regions they were from. Some Native Americans, especially those from the northwestern parts of America, used tattoos to distinguish and recognize a women’s village. Alaskan tribes used tattoos to mark the killing of an enemy. Many Native American tattoos held mystical or spiritual meaning.

Native Americans believed that tattoos gave power to those who wore them on their bodies and/or faces. These tattoos were believed to endow a person with supernatural powers or strength. Native Americans took the tattoo of an animal, object, mythical beings and even gods whose strength and power they wanted to emulate.

The Lakota Indians required that both men and women get tattoos to allow them to enter the afterlife, or they believed the spirits of their ancestors would not allow them to enter the afterlife.

Great skill was required in creating Native American tattoos. The Native Americans would use tools such as sharpened turtle or fish bones, or rock for needles to carve the tattoo into flesh. The tattoo would then be filled with soot or natural dyes as pigment to stain the wound.

Since the tattoos were created stroke by stroke chiseled into bare skin, it was an extremely painful process. And the bigger and more intricate the tattoo, more was the perception of Native American’s pain enduring capacity, which ensured that he was looked upon with awe and admiration by his tribe.

There are specific tribal members trained in the art of tattoo artistry. Experienced hands would create the tattoo with careful, smooth and slow motions, creating these designs little by little. As the technique evolved, this body art could be done on the whole body.

Today, many people are opting to identify themselves with Native American tattoos of their tribes. This is true for both with Native American heritage, as well as those who just know of the Native American legacy and admire the culture.

There need not be native american tattootraces of Native American blood in you for you to justify getting a tribal tattoo done. Also, as tribal art forms have become more prevalent in today’s society, Native American tattoos are often a popular request for many tattoo artists. Native American gods, mythical figures, animals, instruments, musicians, and feathers are among the most popular Native American Tattoos being replicated today.

If you’re looking for a Native American tattoo with an authentic flare, consider having the tattoo designed by an artist trained in the art, and with good knowledge of it.

Before choosing a design, it is advisable to browse the vast collection of Native American tattoo designs available online. There are thousands of galleries online where you can get a wide variety of tattoo samples and find one that suits you.

Tattoo Removal

The Cost Of A Worn Out Idea, Lover or Gang Membership 

tattoo removal

"Its either get rid of the tattoo or stay on the job". Damn that boss for giving you an ultimatum that’s had you looking at tattoo removal. Here is some information to help you along the way.

Tattoo RemovalAfter the pain you endured to get that beautiful tattoo on your leg, the one that wraps itself around your ankle and moves upward to your calf. Now you have this job to-die for and they do not encourage body art!

Your only option is to get rid of this form of self-expression and rebellion! Yes, you need to remove your tattoo…!

Those two words you wish you never had to focus on…Tattoo Removal!

Tattoos are gaining so much popularity in the world over, and are now seen all cultures, be it western or eastern.

Did you know more than ten million Americans have at least one tattoo on their body and that there are more that 4000 thriving tattoo studios all across the country, bringing to life people’s fantasies in color on the skin.

But on the flip side is the thriving industry of tattoo removal, its has been found that more than 50 percent of the people who have tattoos regret them later on and go to surgeons for tattoo removal. Earlier the method of tattoo removal was as painful of getting one done, but these days with the advancement of technology it is a fairly simple and painless procedure.

laser tattoo removal

Before we leap forward into the world of tattoo removal, lets get a glimpse at what a tattoo is. A tattoo is a permanent design that has been made into the dermal layer of the skin using pigments and requires rupturing of the top layer of the skin. These days tattoo artists and studios use electric tattoo machines that make the design in the skin.

Now the question to arise is are all tattoos removable?

We have understood that tattoos are permanents, so removing a tattoo completely is going to be difficult and most often surgeons warn people that the whole tattoo isn’t going to come out. There are chances that traces of the tattoo will be left behind but this depends on the size, color and area on which the tattoo is located.

Methods for Tattoo Removal
While talking about these methods of tattoo removal, we are not talking about laser tattoo removal. These are the more primitive methods of tattoo removal, though not hugely popular, they are used.

  1. Dermabrasion – this is a method that sands off the top layers and middle layers of the skin where the tattoo is.
  2. Cryosurgery – this is a method that freezes the are where the tattoo is and then the tattoo is surgically removed. This method is very rarely used.
  3. Excision – this is a more popular method in case laser tattoo removal isn’t possible. This is a method where the surgeon uses a scalpel to remove the tattoo and stitches the wound. There are cases where this method may require skin grafting.

Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser or Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation is the most common method by which modern day tattoos are removed.

The laser tattoo removal method doesn’t require a stay in the hospital and in most cases doesn’t even need anesthesia. The laser produces short pulses on intense light that passes quite harmlessly through the layer of the skin and is absorbed by the tattoo.

The laser energy works in breaking up the pigments in the tattoo into tiny fragments, which are then discarded by the body’s natural immune system.

Interestingly removing a tattoo is more expensive that getting a tattoo! Ironically isn’t it how expensive your youthful rebellion and exuberance can cost!

Janis Joplin’s Wrist Tattoo – A Symbol of Feminine Power

Posted in Celebrity by admin on March 8, 2009 No Comments yet

wrist tattooJanis Joplin
Janis Lyn Joplin born on January 19, 1943 was unassailable one of the biggest if not the biggest female rock star idol in the history. Janis’s nickname was Pearl. Somewhere in the 60′s she buried the old Janis Lyn and started the second part of her life as Pearl. "I’m tired of being Janis, call me Pearl" she said. Not only Janis Joplin but her wrist tattoo as well are still a subject of imagination to many.

Janis Joplin’s Wrist Tattoo
Her wrist tattoo is not only a symbol of the legend Janis Joplin still is but also a symbol for the liberation of women. The design represents a Florentine bracelet and was placed on her outer wrist. The tattoo is black, with a mix of another color.

bracelet tattoo

The exact colors are difficult to determine because of the fact that there are only a few black and white photos of the design available. A Florentine bracelet is a historic piece of jewelry. Fifteenth century century Florentine goldsmiths engraved metal with a chisel and filled up the engraved ornaments with a compound made of lead, sulfur and silver. The result was a highly contrasting very visible design.

Just like Janis ,one of the first famous wearers of a wrist tattoo in modern pop culture, being very visible and contrasting.Janis Joplin said this about her tattoo: "I wanted some decoration. See, the one on my wrist is for everybody; the one on my tit is for me and my friends." She paused and chuckled, "Just a little treat for the boys, like icing on the cake."

Lyle Tuttle
Lyle Tuttle born in 1931 is one of the biggest legends in the tattooing industry. He started his tattooing career in 1949. Tuttle has had a great positive influence into taking tattooing from underground to mainstream.

The great artist tattooed the famous design on Janis’s wrist in his shop on Seventh Street in San Francisco. When asked for his explanation for the fact that tattoos gained popularity in the 1950′s he replied: "Women’s liberation! One hundred percent women’s liberation!" Women were free to get a tattoo if they wanted.

This development resulted in Tuttle tattooing almost nothing but women and changed the perspective tattooing was in. "Women made tattooing a softer and kinder art form." Tuttle said. Lyle Tuttle retired from tattooing in 1990.

Janis Joplin’s Wrist Tattoo as a Symbol of Female Power.
Tuttle’s most well known clients are pop stars Janis Joplin and Cher. These are both women who are known for being strong. Their tattoos have certainly contributed to image. Joplin is said to brake that male barrier.

She made women stronger, more assertive and self confident. That must be one of the reasons the Florentine bracelet design is a very popular design for a wrist tattoo for women until today.On October 4, 1970 Janis Joplin died on her hotel room as a result of a heroin overdose.

Still others choose tattooed rings as in their working place a real ring would be spoiled. When people are allergic to metals, they go for tattooed rings. Although the practice has been around for centuries, it has come again as trendy now.

Choosing a tattooed wedding ring

Tattooed rings are much more a serious commitment and the selection of tattoo is a careful process. The tattooed wedding rings should be selected with great care as once selected cannot be changed according to the change in taste often. There are so many options in designs to choose from like the literal option of getting a ring design tattooed on their fingers, the first name, the nick name, initials of their loved ones, an image with great sentimental value, and the date on which they met or any secret code only the couples can understand.
