Triangle Tattoo

I noticed that there are many different meaning behind a triangle tattoo.
Does anyone know what the main meaning behind it is?

Abbey Lee Tattoo

I've always wanted to do a post on her, but it's so difficult. There are so few photos of her tattoos out there, and even less information on them.

A tattoo on her right ankle. There's a big debate on tfs about what it actually is. Some people think it's the gemini sign, whilst others think otherwise.

A heart in a square behind her right ear.

She also has script on her right wrist.
More on her to come, need to do some more digging.

Lindsay Lohan update Tattoo

I have to be honest, this annoyed me slightly when i found out, cause i wasn't too fond of the first one. Now she has added another.
I like the quotes and placements, it's just the different coloured stars used to decorate it.

This new one is on her right arm.
It says 'I restore myself when I'm alone'

The older one on her left arm says 'Everyone’s a star and deserves the right to twinkle'

Pixie Geldof update Tattoo

I think she's caught the tattoo bug like her sister Peaches.
The newest addition is on her right forearm.
'What will survive of us is love', a quote taken from a poem.

She also has her mother's signature on her left wrist.
A ladybug on her right wrist.
A star on the back of her neck.
A outlined shape behind each ear.
A star on her leg.

Different Legs

For those of you who have noticed, i tend to like literary tattoos or simple symbols.
But this is gorgeous.

F**k Yeah, Tattoos!

Don't be fooled by the photos I have chosen to post (I think i have a type), but this tumblr has a HUGE range of tattoos!

To visit the Tumblr:

John Mayer Arm Tattoo

A little different from what i normally post, but it's fascinating to look at.

24 Hours.

I know it's my choice in the end, but i wanted to see what you guys thought.
I'm going to try to get another tattoo tomorrow (spending on whether the tattooist is available or not)

I was either going to get:
'Into the wild' - the movie title
'2.11' - a date
'nothing's like before' - a quote from a song
or initials

they all have personal meanings

Letter Tattoo - Ink In A Book

Hi Guys!

Just a quick post about something i've stumbled across.

HtmlGiant's Justin Taylor and Eva Talmadge have put out a call for submissions:

'We are seeking high quality photographs of your literary tattoos for an upcoming book. Send us your ink! ...'

Basically they are trying to create a book full of literary tattoos (i will definitely be purchasing a copy). If you have a literary tattoo that you wish to have printed in a book, here's your chance!

Hilary Duff update Tattoo

Take out your magnifying glass again.

Hilary has gotten a new tattoo, on her right rib. It says 'ma petite amie,' which is french. The literal meaning is 'my little friend' but the proper meaning is 'my girlfriend.'
Rumor is she got it with/for her best friend.

Sienna Miller Tattoo

Three stars on her shoulder


A swallow on her wrist
I once read that the swallow she has is actually the symbol for the Primrose Hill group (Primrose Hill is a place in London where she lives). Which makes sense, because Robbie Williams and Kate Moss alike also have a swallow tattoo.
Then again, she could just be making up an excuse for why Rhys Ifans has such a similar tattoo her.

She also has a star near her right hip

Catherine McNeil

I seem to be doing a post on Catherine McNeil every month!

She has so many tattoos she could be the next Freja of the model tattoo world!
I've written about this one before, but i didn't have a good picture of it at the time. It's the words going down her right rib cage.
It says 'The day that I die will be by far the most beautiful day I ever lived.'


The other tattoo I'm posting about is the one on the top of her right thigh. It's a Chinese symbol, I'll try to find someone to read what it says.

UPDATE: the Chinese symbol says 'snake'

Suvi Koponen Tattoos

yes, I'm STILL posting model tattoos.



'Imported' tattooed under her right breast.

'Cat' tattooed on her right hand, stands for Catherine McNeil (This is the latest one)


Three lines on her left wrist
The number '5' in the middle of her back on the left side. It stands for the number of people in her family as well as it being her lucky number.

Quick Updates - Letter Tattoo

I'm back!

A few quick updates before i really get back into it.

1. Someone asked me a while ago whether or not Zoe Kravitz has a tattoo or not. Back then i said i didn't think so, but recently i think i've spotted one on her back!

2. I have spotted that Erin Wasson has a new tattoo(The one on her right arm)! Will try to find out what it says.

3. Ashley Tisdale has gone under the needle. It's still fairly under wraps so watch this spacee. But from what we can see from this picture, it's looking a little like Hayden Panettiere's tattoo...

Hidden Taylor Momsen Tattoo

She loves tiny (microscopic) tattoos!


point your magnifying glass at her left wrist, there you'll see the four crosses.

Thanks to ravenskar for helping me spot this!

When you finally visit the tattoo parlor for your Koi fish tattoo you need to have a clear opinion of the color scheme you want the tattoo drawn in. A very popular color scheme is the time-honored Yen Yang design of black and white. For many of this classical arrangement is a little too conservative and tame and they prefer to choose another more vivid arrangement.

For example if you have a dark or olive skin color it may be more appropriate to select a bright hue so the Koi fish tattoo is more noticeable. If you are wanting to go the more traditional style, you may want to choose one of the Koi’s natural colors such as white, red, black, yellow or gold, or perhaps a mixture of those colors.

Ideally it is best to choose a color design that compliments your skin tone. As a suggestion, if you have yellowish tone in your skin it might be more appropriate to have a gold or yellow and red tattoo. If you have pink to your skin, black, white, red, or blue may be the best color selection for your Japanese Koi fish tattoo design.

Tattoo Positioning
Have you any idea where you intend to position your tattoo? It is recommended that you make sure that your Koi fish tattoo has a place of honor on your body. You must also ensure it is in a place on your body that you can live with. For example, if your work place is of a conservative nature which frowns on employees having ‘out there' body art or has a strict dress code you may not want your tattoo on your hand, face, neck or lower arm where the tattoo is readily visible and almost impossible to camouflage with clothing.

On the other hand, if you are free to show off your lucky Japanese Koi fish tattoo design, consider placing it on the small of your back, your forearms, around the side of your neck or even swimming around your ankle, as is one of the preferred places for female wearers of the Japanese Koi fish tattoo.

Koi Tattoo Environments
Once you have decided what your tattoo is going to look like and where it is going to be put, you need to give consideration to what other features you would like to include with the design. A popular and effective addition to the Koi design is a flowing stream, a calm pool or even rocky rapids. Combine your Japanese Koi fish tattoo design with a few unique inclusions such as your favorite Japanese symbol and it will result in a tattoo of high quality that can be cherished throughout the years by both the wearer and the admirers.

Perfect Tattoos for Girls

First start asking yourself why you want a tattoo. This way you can get an idea what it should be about. Is it because you want to express yourself? If so, then think about things that are important to you or things you want to be recognized by. Perhaps you want to make a statement about something you feel very strongly about.

Is it because you had a very special person in your life, who you want to honor. Or somebody you admire very much. Then think about the things they liked and had meaning to them. You can do this in combination with their name.

Is it because you want to show your love to someone? The names of your children are very suited for that. If you choose for the name of your partner, then remember sometimes partners are not forever and such a tattoo could be very hurtful for a next partner.

Is it because you know or saw someone with a tattoo which you really liked? Talk to them; ask them where they got it. But try to keep it original by changing it a little bit or browse for similar tattoos.

You could also consider getting a tattoo artist to draw a custom design exclusively for you. This option is more expensive, but then you have something that no one else has.

If you are creative you could also draw one yourself and ask the artist if it is possible to ink it.

Answering these questions will give you an idea in which direction you want to go. But there are more things to consider.

Do you want a color or a black tattoo design? Black tends to give more definition and doesn't fade as much as if you use colors. With colored ones on the other hand you can bring more expression into your design. Generally using colors is more expensive.

Ask yourself before making a choice how big do you want it to be and do you want more then one. If you want more than one, you should think about a theme. You don't want to mix up all kind of different tattoos. Your body is not a trash can. How big or how many you want in a certain body area also determines where it should be placed. Make sure that there is enough room for all the future tattoos.

Also do you want to show your tattoo to the public? If not, better place it on a body part where it can't be seen by others. This is also a good suggestion if you have an employer who will not allow his employees to have tattoos on body parts which can be seen by the public.

The most important thing however is, try to be true to yourself, whatever tattoo design you decide upon. Never let anyone talk you into it. Take your time!
