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.

Jackie's Lucky Cat

Gambar
Back in June, at the Summer Vibe Tattoo Festival in Long Island, I ran into Jackie, who I had met two years ago at the 2016 Empire State Tattoo Expo (see the post here ). Jackie was kind enough to share this lovely Maneki-neko tattoo on her leg: Since I got my Maneki-neko in February, I feel a kinship with folks who have similar tattoos. Hers, of course, is more traditional than mine. This cool "lucky cat" was done by the amazing Po Zhang ( @popotattoo ) at World Famous Tattoo Art Gallery  ( @worldfamoustattooartgallery ) on Long Island.

Remembering Chester

Chester Bennington ( @chesterbe ) from  Linkin Park ( @linkinpark ) died a year ago today. Earlier this month, I met Nicole at the Summer Vibe Tattoo Convention on Long Island and she shared this fascinating dot-work tribute to the singer: Nicole was a huge fan of Linkin Park and Bennington and got this tattoo the night after he died. It's a huge thigh piece that appears differently, depending on the angle you;re viewing it. She credited the artist Ilya Cascad ( @ilyacascad ) with the work, noting it was seven hours in the making.

Earlier this month at the Summer Vibe Tattoo Show on Long Island, I met "Katie Kahboom," who had this back piece done simultaneously by two artists at once! This Qilin , often called a Kirin, is a mythical Asian creature that is a mash-up of sorts, a chimera with dragon features and those of another, usually a hooved beast like a giraffe. This was the combined work of JK ( @jktattoony ) and Andy Jung ( @andyjungtattoo ), who work out of World Famous Tattoo Art Gallery  ( @worldfamoustattooartgallery ) in West Babylon, New York.

Jeremy's Patriotic Hands

My friend Jeremy has a ton of tattoos and has contributed previously to Tattoosday. He recently got some incredible work done and it seemed appropriate to share it today, Independence Day: Those are, by far, some of the best hand tattoos I have ever seen, and I've seen a few! The detail and color in both the American flag and the bald eagle are spectacular! I had the pleasure of meeting the artist behind these hand tattoos last weekend at the Summer Vibe Tattoo and Arts Festival  on Long Island last weekend. The work is by Jon Ronzka ( @jonronzka ), out of Sink or Swim Tattoo  ( @sink_or_swim_tattoo ) in Matthews, North Carolina, who was visiting Amity Irons Tattoo  ( @amityironstattoo ) in Amityville, New York. Thanks to Jeremy for sharing his hands with us! Happy Independence Day from Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.
