Dog Tattoo Under Rug

Dog Tattoo

This dog tattoo is one of my favorites, not only because it is well done, although it is, but because of the way the tattoo designer and tattoo artist captured the playful way a dog would look while doing something like this.

Also the way the rug over the dog's head looks so real wouldn't be an easy thing for a tattoo artist to do. I really like this one.

Cat Tattoo Showing Some Attitude

Cat Tattoo Tattoo

This tattoo of a cat was pretty interesting in that I think the designer was trying to show all the attributes of cats we have all experienced that think they're the king or queen of the house, or seem to have these nasty motives always swirling around in their heads. There also seems to be a god-like status enjoyed by this cat, and so we see much of the nasty attributes a number of cats have, and which cat lovers don't mind putting up with at all.

Bizarre Demon Corset Tattoo

Bizarre Extreme Tattoos

This tattoo of an alien opening up a corset and looking to come out is really well done. While it's creepy, it's still powerful and sends a few chills down the spine.

The way the corset is being opened, the loosening of the strings closest to the demon's hands and tightening as they are farther up on the back are very realistic and convincing.

I bet quite a few kids looking at this tattoo received a scare or two.

While the artwork is great, where do you go in a social situation and show it? Most places people wouldn't appreciate it too much. Anyway, it's a good tattoo even though the theme is somewhat limiting.

Tattoos | Armpit Tattoos

Bizarre Tattoos

Now this is a little gross to me: standalone armpit tattoos. Usually you'll see them as part of a tattoo sleeve if they go under the armpit, but standing by themselves - not that great to me.

The thing that makes me wonder about why this is done is who can see your tattoo? You are forced to lift your arms up like this woman does or it does no good. You can't even enjoy the tattoo yourself unless you lift them up and look in a mirror.

A waste of good ink if you ask me, and who wants to look at someone lift their arms up to show you their tattoo?

American Patriotic Tattoos

Patriotic Tattoos

In the spirit of America's independence day, here are a couple of tattoos that look great and offer up the spirit of the day.

How can you go wrong with a beautiful woman wrapped in a flag and Captain America representing the celebration?

Cherry Blossom Flower Tattoo

Flower Tattoos

Flower tattoos are becoming big, and the versatility and variety of themes that can stand alone or with other images, makes it a highly desirable medium for tattoo artists and those being inked to work with.

This cherry blossom flower tattoo is one of my favorites in the flower tattoo area, as I really like how it has the petals falling down her back, landing in the small of her back. Very cool!

Other flower tattoo themes that work good are those including dragonflies, butterflies and hummingbirds. Wrapping flowers around almost any object seems to work as well, as long as its the right flower.

Tattoos | Killer Hamster Tattoo

Tattoos

This was a pretty cool tattoo, and one I haven't seen before. How about this killer hamster holding a severed finger looking about to chew on it?

Now who would have thought of getting that inked on them?

I guess it shows you can't even trust a hamster these days.

Tattoos | Michael Jackson Tattoos

Tattoos

Tattoos of Michael Jackson have been appearing online, and some of them are in honor of him, and others aren't.

Like everything with Michael Jackson, the tattoos bearing him image are contradictions.

You have the usual images of Jackson at different stages of his life and career, but also tattoos of the dark side of him; specifically the pedophile related themes.

But the tattoo I included of Jackson showing him molesting a child is wrong to me. Not because it is expressing something that could have been a evil side of Jackson, but because of inking it on your arm in the first place.

Creepy Michael Jackson Tattoo

Who puts an image of a pedophile on their arm in the act of performing their dark deed? That's just wrong.

Anyway, here are a couple Michael Jackson tattoos.

Thandi Newton Wearing Nothing But Rose Tattoo

Tattoos

Ok. I had to find some excuse to show off gorgeous Thandi Newton, so having a photo of her with her rose tattoo is as good a reason as any.

Thandi's the type that will cause you to forget about tattoos pretty quickly, as you can see from this photo.

If you're not familiar with her, she played the lead female role in Mission Impossible II, and also starred in Crash and The Pursuit of Happyness, while playing a good part in the Chronicles of Riddick.

Yann Travaille's Unique Tattoo Designs

Tattoos

New tattoo designs from Yann Travaille has your body used more as a doodle pad than a work of art, as his style resembles a child taking his pencil or crayons and applying is limited craft on your body.

What's interesting about this, is in many cases it works, and will probably earn Yann Travaille his place in the difficult-to-break-into tattoo design artist field, which has become very cluttered.

What's interesting about Travaille is he bodly throws away most of the tattoo traditions, and has completely developed his own style. It think this is going to earn him accolades, but inspire people to have fun and truly enjoy a one of a kind tattoo on their body.

He also has a aptly named website dubbed "Your Meat is Mine," where you can check out a bunch of his work.


The only caveat is he does his work in Montreal, so you'd have to go there if his style appeals to you. Either way, it's a fun and interesting new design style that will find a place in the crowded tattoo design market.

Maybe we could call his style doodle-toos!
