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.

Repost: Blaise's Sugar Skulll

Gambar
I wanted to post something appropriate for this, the last day of June, as several million people are anticipated to be celebrating Pride in Manhattan. This tattoo was spotted back in 2012, and was done by our "family" artist, Alex McWatt (@alexthreekings) , out of Three Kings Tattoo (@threekingstattoo) in Manhattan. Behold: I met Blaise on a sunny spring day [in 2012] near the corner of 8th Avenue and 33rd Street. He has a lot of ink, the majority of which was tattooed by Alex McWatt of Three Kings Tattoo in Brooklyn. Blaise pointed out the sugar skull in the center of his arm: This is a sugar skull with a twist - note the rainbow spilling forth from the jaw and, in case you can't tell from the photo, that's a shark riding the rainbow wave. Blaise singled this out because the tattoo was conceived in partnership with his little sister. It refers to a project they had done together. Thanks to Blaise for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoo...

Three for Thursday: Hamsas All Around

Gambar
Late last year and, at the beginning of this year, three very dear and close people to me got hamsa tattoos. Hamsas  are talismans that span cultures and religions and are thought, in some cases, to ward off the evil eye. The symbol has great significance in some aspects of Jewish culture and thus, when my wife, my younger daughter, and one of our closest friends all wanted a hamsa , it happened, one could say almost mystically, in threes. What's cool about these three hamsas  is that they are so different - they are not "matching" tattoos, yet each one is a companion to the others, as they were all crafted and tattooed by the talented Alex McWatt  ( @alexthreekings ) and Three Kings Tattoo ( @threekingstattoo ) in the East Village. First up is our dear friend Felicia's, above her inner ankle: Most hamsas include an eye, and other design elements are included. In Felicia's case, she had Alex add a branch, representing the Tree of Life , the Hebrew word " Ch...

Victor's First is the Golden Mean

Gambar
This is a long over due post about Victor, who I met last July at Three Kings Tattoo  ( @threekingstattoo ) in the East Village, when I was getting my latest from Alex McWatt ( @alexthreekings ). Victor was totally excited to be getting, on his 72nd birthday, his first tattoo! This seemed a bit like kismet as I was getting one for my fiftieth and my first piece was inked way back on my 36th. Victor got a tattoo representing the Golden Mean :  The Golden Mean, or the Golden Ratio, is a mathematical concept that many believe pervades all of life. From Wikipedia: " Some twentieth-century  artists  and  architects , including  Le Corbusier  and  Dalí , have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the  golden rectangle , in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be  aesthetically  pleasing. The golden ratio appears in some  patter...
