Angel Wing Tattoos


There is no doubt that angel and angel wing tattoos have become extremely popular in recent years. And why not? Angels are some of the purest creatures that one can choose to ink on their bodies. They are very spiritual; these tattoos are around the most religious out there! However, not everyone who decides on angel wing tattoos or angel tattoo designs is getting them because of religious reasons. Angels stand for so much more than that.

Angel wing tattoos can be found in many shapes and sizes. Some span the entire area of people's back while others are small enough to fit nicely on your ankle. So how do you know what size to get? It's all about your personal preference. Some people just don't want an enormous tattoo covering their backs. Smaller angel wing tattoos are much easier to hide and some find them more attractive.

Full-bodied angel tattoo designs are just as or even more popular than angel wing tattoos. While the wings are cute and subtle, an entire angel can depict exactly what you want them to be thinking and feeling. The tattoo can portray a happy, peaceful angel or a protective guardian angel. Some illustrate a saddened fallen angel, while others represent adorable, cheery cherubs.

Although angels are correctly identified as beings living under God, people have interpreted them differently. Some recognize guardian angels as the highest class because of all that they do for the living. When people opt for guardian angel tattoos, they generally go for the full-back wing tattoo designs. This particular angel wing tattoo is usually the largest you will find. After all, the back is the largest blank canvas on our bodies!

Any tattoo discussion about angel tattoo designs without mentioning the enchanting cherub angels would just be shameful. Everyone knows about Cupid: the cherub who brings love to all he comes across. There are loads of people who love his character and choose to get his likeness tattooed on themselves. Cherubs are normally jovial, crafty and chubby.

The type of angel wing tattoos that has grown the most over the years is the fallen angel. This can be depicted as either a full angel tattoo or just the wings. Fallen angels are those who have been exiled from heaven for disobeying or rebelling against God. The most widely-known angel is Lucifer, also knows as Satan. Fallen angel tattoo designs usually depict a sad, sometimes crying angel either wailing in pain or slumped to the ground to where you cannot see their faces. Simple fallen angel wing tattoos show the wings in a dilapidated state, more often than not with torn or missing feathers.

If there was an angel tattoo design made for men, the archangel is it. They are known as fighters for God. Therefore, they generally have armor and weapons on or with them in tattoo designs. Michael, the most well-known archangel for leading the battle against Lucifer, is often memorialized with this type of angel tattoo design.

No matter which of the angel tattoo designs or angel wing tattoos you choose, make sure it's the right decision for you. Getting a tattoo isn't simply about the look of the tat itself, but it's also about what it stands for. People will always interpret tattoos differently. As long as you are comfortable with what your tattoo means to you, the beauty of your angel tattoo will shine!

Bizarre Tattoos


Some of the strangest places on the human body people can get tattoos, I believe, is the face, but as strange as this may seem, I believe this to be a beautiful thing. I really believe that no matter what anyone thinks, if you want to decorate your body and show the world, then do it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Why do people do this?

Bizarre tattoos are amongst us all and that is what makes us unique. The true gift of a tattoo.The essence of the art. The creator and artists. The everlasting signature. Yes, it may look strange to some, but for others, it may look even stranger without.

When confronted with someone, I look at the whole picture, the art, the details, the extreme time and patience it took to create such a wonderful and beautiful design. Yes, the art of tattoos has been around for centuries and will always be around.

I look forward to seeing even more bizarre and more beautiful tattoos in the future. I believe the artists deserve more recognition for the awesome and amazing work they perform when creating tattoos. If the work most of them creates were to be transformed onto a canvas, much of the art would be hanging in museums all over the world today. I believe this is what makes Tattoo art so different from other art forms. It is an art that can't be duplicated and is unique in every way and form.

Thank you to all tattoo artists out there. Thank you for creating such beauty. Please continue to do so because you are such true artists in my eyes!

Styles of Tattoos



There are many different styles of tattoos:

Tattoos have managed to pull itself up from its suspect and seedy past with a bad reputation to become an art form that is the subject of human exhibition and self-expression today. Today tattoos have become an art form with new and better tattoo artists coming up with a huge number of styles of tattoos.

When you visit a tattoo parlor or look at an online tattoo gallery, you find that there is a wide range of tattoo styles available and a massive range of styles to choose from. The usual criteria used for choosing tattoos is usually its size, the love for someone, depicting a certain culture or sect or as a status symbol.

Men prefer strong and powerful styles of tattoos:

Men prefer to use identity symbols more than decorative devices that have traditional images like snakes, black panthers and eagles. The most popular option in men are skulls, daggers dripping blood, dragons and basically any image that depicts male strength and valor. Heart tattoos are best used to depict love for both men and women. This is a tattoo that has endured the test of time and is still growing in popular. Tribal styles are becoming more and more popular.

The symbol depicting mystery, power, wisdom and good will is the dragon tattoo. This is because dragons are considered to be good luck and have qualities including strength and courage.

Animal tattoos are the most popular of all. This is because animal tattoos relate to animals that we use to demonstrate the inner connections we have with fine beasts and the similarities we exhibit with these animals. Snake tattoos and reptiles are becoming more and fashionable.

Similarly, bird tattoos have lots of reverence in the tattoo world. Some of the most popular bird tattoos are the eagle, dove, swallow and birds of prey tattoos. Once again, the nature and attitude of the birds are taken into consideration when choosing the bird tattoo.

Women prefer floral styles of tattoos:

Women prefer having floral tattoos and styles of tattoos that are a lot subtler in nature. Other options are of cherry blossom, lotus flower tattoos, blossom, lily and tree tattoos.

Sea creatures are very popular that people like wearing. Sea creature tattoos connect us with our past and the mythical creatures of the deep have a wide appeal. Those who are very spirituality prefer angel tattoos, as they are important in many religions like Christianity, Jewish and Islamic faiths. These angels are considered to be the messengers of god who are protective to us, like guardian angels looking over us.

There are some tattoos that have specific meanings and are meant to cater to specific people while there are generalized tattoos. In Japan, households are represented by the chrysanthemum to depict determination and steadfastness while the peony is used to depict wealth and good fortune.

Try an Old School Tattoo Design

It seems like everything old is new again in just about every part of life. Tattoo design is no different. Many of the old school tattoo designs are showing back up in ink on people everywhere.
Some of the old school tattoo designs that you see around are more like an homage to the original design, reminiscent of the first designs. But other tattoos are very faithful to the original design, exactly what you might have seen on someone leaving a tattoo shop in the 1940s.
One of the most common old school tattoo designs showing up is that of a pinup girl. The tattoo image was commonly seen in posters that were sent to soldiers and sailors during WWII. They were supposed to remind the soldiers who they were fighting for. Betty Grable was probably the most famous of the pinup girls. The posters weren’t what we would consider sexy now, but they were pretty hot back in the day. In the early to mid 1900s, most of the people who were getting tattoos were in the military, so it wasn’t a big surprise that there were a lot of tattoos of pinup girls.
One surprise that people might get about who is getting old school tattoo pinup girl designs is that more and more women are getting them. Some women are getting tattoos of themselves as a pin up girl. The women who choose to do this say that they are empowering themselves, and to take back their sexuality. Others do get the pinup girl ink just because they like the design. Of course, there are also men who get pinup girl tattoos.
There are a multitude of reasons that they get their ink. Some men get their girlfriend’s or wife’s pictures done as a pinup girl, because they love that person and want to have her with them always. Others, because they like a design.
There are many different old school tattoo designs. There are also many different reasons to get your tattoo done old school. Having an old school tattoo shows an unbroken line from the people, like Sailor Jerry, who started making tattoos the art they are now.

Feminine Tribal Tattoos

Feminine tribal tattoos are on the rise and with that increasing popularity it is becoming more common to see females branding a Hawaiian tattoo instead of other typical "pretty tattoos." Like all flower tattoos there are classical meanings behind the flowers and there are also typically designs such as tribal that these Hawaiian flowers are commonly found immortalized within. So what is the meaning behind these tattoos and why could this be the perfect feminine tribal tattoo?

http://www.all-freeware.com/images/full/44440-feminine_tattoos_audio___multimedia_other.jpeg

Those who have decided to seek the Hawaiian flower instead of a rose or another common flower are making a great decision. It encompasses all the feminine beauty of any other flower with a unique twist. This flower tattoo is typically found in tribal form. Instead of the bright flowy colours we tend to see in flower tattoos it is usually made with big bold black lines, in a more tribal form. It can be added to beautiful other Hawaiian tribal designs such as the sea turtle, mountains and other well known Hawaiian symbols.

These flowers stand for friendship and hospitality just like the Hawaiian people. Another popular Hawaiian flower choice is the lei. These beautiful flowers are found in bright colourful presentations all over the bodies of both men and women. There are also those who have permanently inked these beautiful flowers in lei's around their necks, to symbolize the hospitality and friendship that is presented by Hawaiian natives to visitors to their island. For those who choose the exotic form of the Hawaiian flower tattoo you can ensure it is one to be proud of and to wear happily.

Tribal Flame Tattoos

if you want to get a tribal flame tattoo. Just think about how cool those flames will look. But before you go out and get your new tattoo there are some things you need to think about. Getting a permanent piece of art on your body is a big decision, so doing your research beforehand to make a difference between an okay tattoo and a great tattoo.

Tribal Flame Tattoos

Think about it like this. You're going to be spending your hard earned money on your new tattoo. If you use Google images to research your artwork you're looking at art that is either already being used or being copied. And I know you want something unique. That is why you are getting this tattoo, right?

Girl Tattoo Gallery Review

If you are a girl looking for a cool girl tattoo, an excellent place to search is a tattoo gallery. You'll notice there are a few online galleries which may look very promising. So which one should you choose?
Girl Tattoo

Here's my girl tattoo gallery review which will give you an idea of which one to choose for beautiful designs.
Girl Tattoo

1. An Exclusive Girl Tattoo Gallery.

There are galleries online which are exclusively "girl only". That is, they cater specifically to female tattoo designs. Now while you may think that this must be the gallery for you, hold on for one moment. While, yes, you will get many girl designs, you also lose out on a lot of "gender neutral" designs which can look very beautiful as tattoos. Recently I saw a girl who just had some ink placed on. It was a tiger placed on her back, and it looked extremely sexy! Somehow it was very feminine as well. But it was the kind of ink that you likely wouldn't find in a girl tattoo only site. So if you want a smaller selection base of feminine only designs then this type of gallery might be for you. but if you want a larger selection, consider other gallery sites.
Girl Tattoo

2. The Unlimited Tattoo Design Gallery.

These are galleries which have thousands of high quality designs, and are constantly being updated with new designs. While this may sound a bit overwhelming, and you start to realize that such a gallery will require a lot of time to go through, I believe in the end it really is worth it. The thing with tattoos are their permanence and the "regret factor". You definitely don't want to regret your ink, and I believe putting in your "due diligence" and going through a lot of designs to ensure you are getting the absolute best is really the way to go. Besides, it's actually fun! Once you get going on one of these sites, you really won't want to stop. It's really fun going through and bookmarking your top designs, and eventually narrowing down your decision.

Tribal Back Tattoos - Something For Everyone

Choosing to get a tattoo is one of the most important - and highly personal - decisions you will make. You will have to choose a design, a position, a color, a studio, an artist, and maybe even make more decisions than that. If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't worry, because there's one design that's sure to give you some great ideas: tribal back tattoos.

If you're a man, you know that tribal tattoos are very popular. You probably have friends who have tattooed armbands that are made up of intricate line patterns or other symbols. Even if no one you know personally has a tattoo, you've definitely seen them on television and in movies. But have you ever thought about getting a tribal tattoo on your back?


Don't think that back tattoos are just for the ladies. Many men choose to get tattoos on their back, for a variety of reasons. One of these is that your back is a large space that is relatively consistent in terms of skin. This makes it a particularly convenient place to get a tattoo, because your artist has more space to work with and a more uniform canvas. Choosing a back tattoo means you'll end up saving money.

Tribal tattoos look great on the back because they are versatile designs. For example, a tribal tatoo could be a large sun with flames - a design that would look great in the center of your back. A Celtic knot would also look good here. If you want to get a tattoo across the shoulders, you could choose a design that is more linear. Obviously, you have lots of choices.

But tribal tattoos aren't just for the boys! Lots of women are starting to choose tribal designs when they get tattoos. The versatility of this particular design is one reason for its increasing popularity. If you have a particular ethnic heritage you're proud of, you can undoubtedly find a symbol that will look great as a tattoo.

Back tattoos are especially popular with women because they are extremely sexy. Many men are already attracted to the back, and a tribal tattoo can be a great way of drawing attention to your sexy curves and alluring figure. Back tattoos are also good because you can hide them if you need to - just make sure to wear a shirt that covers it completely.

Another consideration to keep in mind when you're looking for tribal tattoo designs is cost. Both the size and position of your tattoo determine how expensive it will be. If you get a tattoo on your back, you'll probably pay less than for other places, because it is a relatively easy place for artists to access. Also, if you choose color instead of monochrome, expect to pay a little more.

Tribal back tattoos are a great tattoo design choice because they're so versatile. No matter if you're a man or a woman, if you want color or monochrome, or if you want a big or small tattoo, tribal designs are sure to give you exactly what you want.

Tribal Rose Tattoos

Are you searching for tattoo ideas? Some of the popular looked for pieces of art are Celtic, Butterfly, Dragons, Tribal, Rose/Flower, Heart, Angel and Cross tattoo designs.One of the most popular and symbolic tattoos offered is nothing but the rose tattoo.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/krayzii/55007-1.jpg

Tribal Rose Tattoos

Many people may think of a rose as being a tattoo for women only, but that is not the case.Because a rose can either be made into a feminine or masculine design, rose tattoos are one of the most universal tattoos available.

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/4451/fr2cn4.jpg

Rose is the universal symbol of beauty.The rose denotes eagerness and liveliness and also devotions and love.In Christian cultures, roses have been used as symbols both for Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. French Poet Jean Richepin quoted the following lines.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilu0VqjiSYBx1M1YDeLvC3u970l5j9l0TFaQroy6XcY9ZEU2gluIRTDHJ00l1qMgEQqiwLN5gFtwuLYFoeWQ5MO9FsQ_E9enL5TK0YyCkDR8ae4J0JYKQFVeXNQwrzSOoznNKAerJfMhs/s320/rose6.jpg

http://theexcellentpeople.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/tribal_rose_tattoos1.jpg

this is not necessarily true with rose tattoos. In fact, the rose tattoo has an incredibly rich history and expresses a great depth of symbolism. For instance, in the 1500s rose tattoos were given to prisoners who were about to be executed.

Nowadays, the significance of a rose tattoo can be whatever the wearer chooses it to be. Often linked with romance, beauty and love, they can also represent the memory of a dead loved one or hold a profound religious association—the red of a rose symbolizing the blood of Jesus Christ.

joker tribal tattoos

joker tribal tattoos

Joker tattoos, and actually all clown tattoos have come to symbolize the humor and the hidden tragedy that often lurks behind life’s pale veil. While the clown may be seen laughing there is always the hint of sadness or sorrow that lies just underneath his facade. But, that’s where the similarities end between the joker tribal tattoos and the clown tattoo.

http://www.tattoosdaily.com/joker-tattoos/215439_0581.jpg

Joker tattoo have also come to be viewed as laughing people that has at the core of their personality a sinister or evil persona. This can be seen by the Joker tattoo in the picture. It’s a very good portrait of the joker character as portrayed by Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight. That character not only had a dark side to his personality but also was a sociopath. And that has almost transformed the entire joker tattoo genre.

joker tattoos

Now, individuals are getting highly exaggerated joker’s that allude to something deep, dark and potentially dangerous. It would be a perfect piece to ink into your skin. So, if your looking for a design that speaks about your fun and humorous nature yet identifies you as a force to be reckoned with then the joker tribal tattoos may be the design that you want to get.
