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.

The 2019 Empire State Tattoo Expo  ( @nyempirestatetattooexpo ) begins today and runs through the weekend at the Midtown Hilton here in New York City! Be sure to get your tickets and maybe you'll run into me! One thing is guaranteed, you'll see some phenomenal art being created. Take, for example, this back piece on Alissa: Last year, Alissa "sat like a champ," as two amazing artists, Jhon Campuzano ( @jhoncampuzanotattoo ), co-owner of Focused on Creation ( @focusedoncreation ) and  Andres Jaramillo ( @andresjaramillotattoo ) SIMULTANEOUSLY worked on this piece throughout the weekend as astonished convention-goers passed by and checked on the progress being made. By the end of the weekend, Alissa had this amazing back piece to show for her patience and pain. Thanks to Alissa for sharing last year and to Jhon and Andres for their amazing work. The Expo starts today at 4pm and runs through Sunday at 7pm, all at the Midtown Hilton (1335 Avenue of the Americas). It...

Chris Caruso on The Tattooed Poets Project

Gambar
Today's tattooed poet is Chris Caruso, who shared his back: Chris tells us: "The artist who did this piece was Everett Magie out of Alien Ink Tattoos ( @alieninktattoosnj ). The back piece itself is a cover up. Previously my back had an assortment of tattoos that in my 20’s I believed were a good idea. Some of the gems were a Chaos Cross tramp stamp and a bar code. When I begin the cover up, I wanted to reflect the change in my world view since my twenties. I have moved away from the angst-ridden belief that everything was chaos and that humans were nothing more than cogs in a callous world. I wanted to instead focus on a more spiritual path, one filled with optimism. While the piece is still in process the main components are there: The Buddha sitting on a lotus, a Buddha face watching my back, and the beginnings of temple pillars." In addition, Chris also sent us the following poem: Dearest Picture Frame, I wonder how a forest will look when it turns to stone, aged by l...

Katie's Spectacular Qilin

Gambar
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. Thanks to Katie and her team of artists for sharing this amazing work with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2018 Tattoosday.
