Infinity Tattoo, meaning and pictures

Infinity Tattoos - neverending possibilities of manifesting yourself. This tattoo design is best described as a figure eight on its side, it is used to denote that which is limitless and without boundary or end. The symbol as a tattoo would stand for the state or quality of being infinite. The concept of infinity first appeared as a mathematical conceit and was quickly adopted by philosophers. Historically and culturally, the infinity symbol is similar to mythological creatures such as Ouroboros, the snake that consumes its tail and is a creature without end. Circles and loops are reminiscent of the idea of life being conceived as an eternal, often times seasonal cycle, that endlessly repeats itself. In many eastern religions and belief systems the idea of endless reincarnation and planes of existence is similar.

Anthony's Phenomenal Marilyn Monroe Portrait

 Without question, Marilyn Monroe has appeared more on Tattoosday than any other celebrity, living or dead. You'd think I'd get tired of seeing her in ink, but I never do. Probably because there are artists out there doing this:

This portrait is on the left leg of Anthony, a photographer I met on Penn Plaza a couple weeks ago. The work is based on this famous photograph:

Anthony credited the artist as Horacio Martinez, at Golden Eagle Tattoo in Santa Barbara, California. The detail in the piece is really spectacular:

When I asked why he chose to ink the legendary actress on his leg, he said, "I was in photo school at the time and we were doing a lot of Hollywood glamor stuff and it was just kind of, on a whim. Why not?"

The piece is two years old and took only three and a half hours for Horacio to complete.

To see all the Marilyn Monroe work that has appeared on Tattoosday, click here. You can also see Anthony's work as a photographer on Tumblr here, or you can visit his website here.

Thanks to Anthony for sharing this incredible tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Fairy Tattoos For Women

Fairy Tattoos For Women
Fairy tattoos can be tiny little designs, hidden on a hip or on a shoulder of women. Or they can be large images, rendered as a singular design, or your fairy can be part of a larger scene, possibly with the aforementioned unicorn or peeking out from behind a flowering branch. Often the wings allow the design to be fitted well to the shape of the upper arm or lower leg of women.

Dragon Tattoo Designs For Women

Dragon Tattoo Designs For Women
When choosing a dragon as a design for a tattoo there are a few things to keep in mind. The location of the tattoo is obviously the most important thing, followed closely by the design and the size. The beauty of dragon tattoo designs for women is the variety of moods it can portray simply through the pose of the dragon. Also see some tattoo ideas for girls. A dragon with its wings stretched and its teeth visible can be seen as a sign of hostility and aggression coupled with power. On the other hand, a dragon resting next to water or lying still could depict a state of tranquility and peace of mind.
