Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Gambar
Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually. Most angel tattoos have a great amount of detail so the attractive nature associated with the design and style and the intricate aspects of a design can match the loveliness associated with the angels which have been depicted in literature and art. Angel tattoos are easily...

Andrea's Pigeon Takes Flight

Gambar
Andrea ( @andreas_eye ), a friend of my wife's, shared her first tattoo with me, this cool pigeon on her shoulder: Here's a closer look at the amazing detail: Andrea related how this bird tattoo was hatched: "...After thinking about getting a tattoo for over 10 years, I finally did it on July 18, 2018! I was mainly afraid of the pain and the permanence. Turns out the pain was minimal and the permanence fine, too. In fact, I've been running up to every random tattooed stranger and saying, 'I just got my first tattoo!!! Can I show you?!,' and then we always get into a conversation about tattoos and everyone agrees that it hurt less than they expected. Often, people ask me why I chose a pigeon as the image. In fact, some people laugh out loud when they realize it's a pigeon. Well, I adore pigeons and always have. I think they're gorgeous. Some New Yorkers disparage them, but I'm convinced that if pigeons were discovered for the first time right now, ev...

Tattoosday Plays the Alphabet Game, 2018 Edition

Gambar
Last year I embarked on what I called "The Alphabet Game," a day-long excursion on the NYC subway system to go through the lettered trains, alphabetically, interviewing passengers about their tattoos. The plan was to start on the "A" train and end with the "Z" train. You can relive the journey here , a summary post that details the experiment. Alas, I called it quits after the "R" train, leaving the "S," "W," and "Z" unexplored. I had so much fun I decided to try again this summer and what follows below is another summary of the excursion. Did I make it this year? You'll know by the time you get to the end. Each post below consists of published posts from each train I visited, plus an extra bonus of a between-trains encounter. I have added journal thoughts for transitions. Enjoy the journey! ~ ~ ~ Well, I'm at it again. Last year, I tried to run the letters, A to Z, on the MTA. It's 8:06 on the J platform...

Danny's Cab for His Father

Gambar
Earlier this summer, I was at a barbecue at my friend Danny's house and noticed he had a new tattoo on the back of his leg: Danny, whose work has appeared on Tattoosday previously ( here ) told me the piece, which features an old New York City taxi, is an homage to his father, who was a cab driver for many years. The plate even features his dad's old medallion number. Kudos to Mr. Kaves  ( @misterkaves ) at Brooklyn Made Tattoo  ( @brooklynmadetattoo ) in Bay Ridge for this cool tattoo that is a tribute also to a New York City that is no more. You can read an article I wrote about Kaves and Brooklyn Made here . Work from Mr. Kaves and other artists from Brooklyn Made has appeared over the years on Tattoosday, linked up here . Thanks to Danny for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.
