Edward Gorey's Insect God Graces Katie's Arm

So yesterday I met someone with two lovely tattoos based on the art of Edward Gorey, but you're going to have to wait to see them.

Rather, meeting those tattoos reminded me I had another Gorey tattoo to share, one that I met a month ago today in Penn Station.

Katie has seven tattoos and is a fan of Mr. Gorey. It was this piece on her right bicep that caught my attention:

From the Gorey book of the same name, this is the "Insect God". This cool tattoo was inked by Chrys Goldberg at Bushido Tattoo Studio, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Thanks again to Katie for sharing her insect deity with us here on Tattoosday!

Tony's Celtic Fish, Swimming Up His Calf

Last month, I spotted Tony on the R train after leaving the 14th Street/Union Square station.

About thirteen years ago, his girlfriend was getting a Celtic dog tattoo, and he decided to get inked as well:

These works of art on his left leg derive, he told me, were inspired by illustrations from the Book of Kells.

Book/Manuscript: Book of Kells
VII Century, Ireland / ScotlandPage (Folio): 188v
initial letter I with lion and fish
(from http://www.art-imagery.com/)

Tony explained that he is a SCUBA instructor, so these fish from the mackerel family are a nice link to that vocation.

Not only have these tattoos held up over the years, they are noteworthy because they were inked by Pat Fish in Santa Barbara, who is regarded as one of the premiere artists working with Celtic designs.

I also love the coincidental nature of Fish by Fish.

Thanks to Tony for sharing these amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Tattoo Top Bodies Deserve Top Designs

Ask most men whether tattoos on women are sexy or not and you will get a mixture of answers. It is certainly not as easy as getting a yes or no answer. In reality, you are either for tattoos or you are not. If you are, then whether or not they are sexy will depend upon a couple of important factors. First, are they appropriate for the person involved? And second, are they partly hidden and discreet leaving something for the imagination? Research done on this topic indicates that most men are more likely to be turned on by an elegant, well placed tattoo rather than an endless display of “body” art where it is hard to see any untouched skin at all. A perfect example of this is seeing someone as elegant as Angelina Jolie and the tasteful and sexy way she has gone about the process of being tattooed.

Given that, if you are going to get yourself a sexy tattoo, do your homework and find a design that suits you. We are all different and what suits one person may not suit another. The design is extremely important and there is no shortage of sexy tattoos for women out there, it is just a matter of finding that one simple elegant tattoo that will look sexy on your body and is yours and yours alone.

Most Popular Sexy Tattoos for Women.

Flowers – While some consider flower tattoos to be “old hat”, they seem to be making somewhat of a revival in the popularity stakes. Ideal for your first tattoo as they are the epitome of femininity and sexiness. There are any number of flower options from roses (red, white or pink) and rosebuds through to Cherry blossoms (great with an elegant Japanese tattoo), lilies and even orchids. In fact, as far as flowers are concerned, you are only limited by your imagination and what is important for you. Each flower has its own meaning which is great if you are looking for something of significance in your life.

Dolphins – Dolphins are amazing creatures and very much loved by everyone for their amazing free spirit. A dolphin tattoo can look extremely sexy in the right place. Once again the bikini line is great for these as too are the shoulder and ankle. Dolphins are particularly popular with those who love animals especially those who have an affinity with the sea.

Butterflies – As free as a butterfly! Is there a better way to remind you of those beautiful, carefree days in your life? Butterfly tattoos lend themselves to beautiful colors to match your skin type and is there anything sexier than seeing a butterfly near a beautiful gal’s bikini line. Butterfly tattoos continue to be one of the most popular of all tattoos because of their beauty and grace.

Stars – These are a real favourite amongst the movie star set. Stars can be used to depict all sorts of personal beliefs such as religious, sexuality or mythological desires. In many cases they are used for their size and the colours and patterns that can be generated by using them in a series. One of the most sensual ones that were witnessed recently was a series of different colors and size stars leading through the bikini line. On the right body, this was sensationally sexy.

Tribal Designs – Traditionally, tribal designs belong in the male domain; however, with clever use of flowers (especially roses) and butterflies, these are being integrated in traditional tribal designs to make some absolutely gorgeous and sexy lower back pieces of art. This is a sensual part of the female body and an elegant design here can be a real turn on for most males. The advantage being that it can be displayed either fully, partially (sneak peeks) or hidden completely to be enjoyed by only special people.

Top Bodies deserve top designs. Do your homework and you are sure to find enough sexy tattoos for women to make your choice the right one for you.

Designing Your Own Tattoo Piece of Art

Some of the best works of body art I have seen has been in the form of abstract tattoos. These are unique to the wearer and should be absolute one- off designs. If you can work to design your own abstract tats, then you can be assured that no one else will be walking this earth with anything that is quite like yours.

Many abstract tattoos use the tribal designs that are popular today. You can manipulate some of these designs to suit your body shape or the area you are wanting to have inked, and can change certain aspects of the abstract tats to suit your taste. Some believe that tribal tattoos fall into the abstract tattoos category, but to me, this is a category where you have free reign of the design and interpret it as you like.

I have seen some great representations of tribal tattoos with a Celtic angle thrown in for good measure. These work really well, especially if you are looking at wrap around arm tattoos. For chest and back tattoos, having an abstract symbol with some detailed background can be extremely effective as well. Think Def Lepards album cover!

Abstract Tattoo

The beauty of abstract tats is that you can integrate any design that you like to help convey your message. This means that you can mix styles and come up with something that is as unique to you as you will find. There are many abstract tattoos and designs that you can base your decision on and finding the right one may mean searching for some time. Finding the one or the ones that click for you can be a trip.

Take a look at many different abstract tattoos and designs, make noted of what you like and what you would blend and see if you can come up with a design that you can truly say is yours.
