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...

When you go to a big tattoo show, like last weekend's 2019  Empire State Tattoo Expo  ( @nyempirestatetattooexpo ), you see a lot of big show-stopper pieces, but I also love the smaller things that jump out at me, like the sleeve of flowers I spotted on Hannah:  Hannah's sleeve consists of at least six different varieties of flowers, including peonies , violets , black-eyed Susans , daisies , lavender , forget-me-nots , and lilies-of-the-valley . She credited the work to Rebeka Chase ( @rebekatattoos ) out of Brass & Briar Studios ( @brassandbriar ) in Portland, Maine.

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.

The Expo starts today at 4pm and runs through Sunday at 7pm, all at the Midtown Hilton (1335 Avenue of the Americas). It...

Natalee Sports Two of One Hundred Horses

Gambar
Late last summer, on a journey to Washington, D.C., I met Natalee at the National Portrait Gallery  and asked her about the tattoos on her arms: Natalee explained that these amazing tattoos (look at the detail) were done by Richard Warnock ( @warnocktattoo ), a New Zealand artist who works out of Two Hands Tattoo  ( @twohandstattoo ) in Auckland. The art is inspired by the work of Lining Shang , who was born,  Giuseppe Castiglione , namely his One Hundred Horses , which she had seen in a museum in Taipei, Taiwan. The scroll, considered one of the masterpieces of Chinese art, dates back to 1728m and features, as the name would imply, one hundred horses in various states. Natalee elected two images from the work to adorn her arms, telling me that she her grandmother, who had suffered a stroke, was part of the inspiration behind these tattoos. They were done in tribute to her. Thanks to Natalee for sharing these amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday! This entry is ©2019...

Destiny's Death Cupid

Gambar
Back at the end of May, I was strolling through Battery Park on my lunch break, when I spotted Destiny, who shared this cool tattoo with us: Destiny got this tattoo on a trip to Panama. She wandered into Rock Spot Tattoo & Gallery  ( @therockspot ) in Panama City and was looking at some designs. She told me that she gravitated to this design, which she referred to as a sort of "Death Cupid." The piece, Destiny told me, represented to her a "juxtaposition of love and death" and is on her "dark arm," the arm where she has some more of the darker images tattooed on her. She also noted that this piece, located on her left arm with the arrow aimed curving around the back of her biceps, has Death Cupid targeting her heart, biologically speaking. Based on what she told me, I believe this to be the work of Damiani ( @damiani_tattoo ) at the Rock Spot. Thanks to Destiny for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
