Polynesian shoulder tattoo design photo
A few weeks ago I sold one of my tattoo designs, shoulder tattoo 143 to a customer. Recently I received a great picture of the finished design. It's a Polynesian shoulder sleeve, with tribal elements like turtle shells, shark teeth and a mask.
It also has some Koru Kiri tuhi shapes. This particular tattoo is done really crisp, nice tight lines and flowing curves.
In the picture you see the flash design next to the finished tatoo
Kind regards, Mark Storm

Lightbox caption with paypal button
On my homepage at storm3d.com I have 9 thumbnails of my latest sketches and finished designs.
Until recently I simply linked these images to my other blog on which I also sell my designs, http://tribalflashtattoos.blogspot.com.
I discovered a simple script, Lightbox, which is used to overlay images on a webpage, and implemented it to display my canvas prints.
No problem thus far...
Recently I visited a website that also had the Lightbox script, but also included a Paypal button in the caption, so visitors could easily buy the print/photo with a simply click.
It would be really nice to have such an option on my site as well.
It seemed quite easy to make a new button in my Paypal account and copy the html-code in the lightbox "title" code.
Unfortunately it wasn't that easy...
After a few hours of trial and error I discovered this webpage.
I downloaded an adjusted "lightbox.js" file and copied it to my server.
Then I changed the "title" tag in a "caption" tag and voila!
Here's a picture of the result on my homepage:

Photo of a tattooed tribal design
Every now and then I receive pictures of people with my designs tattooed.
Here's a really nice example of one of my tattoos applied to a guy's shoulder and upper arm:
On my website this design is in the "Shoulder" section, number 140.

Tattoo Process hi hi
The skin, no matter the part of the body involved, is shaved and given an alcohol wipe. A temporary ink outline of the design is placed on the surface of the skin and checked in a mirror. And all of these steps take place before a single part of actual tattooing begins.
This article is designed to relieve the natural anxiety that any new experience brings, by demystifying it and laying it bare. Knowing exactly what to expect, in the order it will likely happen, and the amount of time it will likely last, can mean the difference between a nerve-racking experience and an enriching one.
This article advises tattooees of some of the potential regulations involved, their responsibilities, the responsibilities of the tattoo shop or artist, and the requirements of payment up front and signing contracts. In addition, the prospective tattooee will learn that tattoo artists also have their own expectations, and that fulfilling these can make for an even better experience and better tattoo.

Photos of Maori/Polynesian leg tattoo
On October the 21st I posted some pictures of a lower leg tattoo design:
Yesterday I received pictures from the customer with the final tattoo.
It's really nice to see how the design turned out and fits exactly.
You can see that both sides of the tatoo design above create a really nice pattern on the back side of the leg:
I'm a big fan on this kind of "band tattoos", so if you are looking for a similar band on your lower- or upper leg/arm, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards, Mark Storm

20 Worst Tattoos For Men | Stupid Idiots
20 Worst Tattoos For Men | Stupid Idiots
We’re not sure why guys get elaborate, over-the-top tattoos (like these 5 Crazy Ronald Regan Tattoos). We just know the people who get them have serious issues we don’t even want to know about (especially, if you got this Patrick Swayze tattoo). That reminds us, we should call our parents. Check out the 20 Tattoos You Don’t Want To Get (If You’re A Guy).
20. The One that Makes You Look Like Skeletor
Needless to say, this man’s dream of becoming a grade school teacher ended the day he picked out this tattoo design. On the bright side, at least he knows what his Halloween costume will be for the rest of his life.
19. The One That’s Sure To Get You Pulled Out Of Line At Airport Security
Nothing irks us more than being subject to extra security at the airport. But, if you’re sporting Osama Bin Laden ink, you have no one to blame but yourself… and the infidel American dogs
18. The One That Makes The Back Of Your Head Look Like David Crosby
As “interesting” as we think this tattoo is, we prefer tattoos that make the backs of people’s heads look like Stephen Stills or Graham Nash.
17. The One That Makes Your Naval Look Like A Cat’s Rectum
There are bad ideas, there are really bad ideas and then there’s this guy. Spending time and money to have this rendered onto you stomach illustrates just how enamored this guy is with the feline poop shoot.
16. The One That Looks Like A Heavy Metal Album Cover
We’ve always wondered what Hell looked like. Now, thanks to this one man’s back, we feel like we’ve got a clear image. Thanks freaky, crazy dude.
15. The One That Proves You’re A Good Catholic
Your grandmother can talk all she wants about how many Rosaries she’s said in the last week, but until she gets some papal ink, you’re the one on God’s good side.
14. The One That Makes A Dead Loved One Look Like A Witch
It’s tough when a loved one dies. It’s even tougher when said loved one has to spend the rest of your life looking like a witch that lives on your shoulder.
13. The One That Answers The Question Of Whether Or Not You Believe In Aliens
Based on this tattoo, we know one thing. There are plenty of unintelligent life forms here at home.
12. The One That Depicts Your Head As A Grand Slam Breakfast
We love a greasy, diner breakfast as much as anyone, but at no point in time have we ever thought that breakfast should find permanent residence on the top of our heads.
11. The One That Clearly Outlines Your Priorities
Some people have a hard time getting their priorities in order. Others are so certain about them they have them painted into their back flesh. Daughter Courtney must be very proud to have beaten out America and “Star Wars” for the top spot.
10. The One that Shows The World Hulkamania Isn’t Dead
“Whatcha gonna do, brother… when Hulkamania runs wild all over your pale, doughy, sorry excuse for a back!”
9. The One That Puts Your Excessive Shoulder Hair To Good Use
There are two types of people in the world. There are the ones who are self-conscious about excessive body hair, and the ones who use that body hair to create horrible tattoos.
8. The One That Illustrates Your Secret Desire To Be A Superhero
Look we all wish we had super powers, but most of us don’t decide to turn our chests into a flesh-torn homage to Spider-Man. We prefer to use that particular area to pay tribute to Captain Planet.
7. The One That Implies E.T. Gave Birth To Jesus
We always thought the idea of a virgin giving birth to the Messiah was a bit of a stretch. What happens when E.T. is that virgin? That’s a belief system we can get behind. (Also, we love flying bicycles.)
6. The One That Implies You Might Inappropriately Love Chunk
Sloth may love Chunk, but we’re not sure how he’d feel about that tattoo.
5. The One that Might Have Helped A Witness Identify You
Police Officer: “Ma’am do you see the man who stole your purse in this police lineup?”
Victim: “Yes, Officer. It’s the guy with the tattoos all over his face.”
Police Officer: “Are you certain?”
Victim: “Uh… yeah.”
4. The One That Crosses A Hot Dog With The Fonz
We’re not exactly sure what this tattoo is supposed to express. We just know this hot dog can turn a jukebox on by hitting it, and he’s really popular with the ladies. He’s also pretty good at water skiing in a leather jacket.
3. The One Of Ed O’Neill
This guys is really excited about the premiere of “Modern Family.”
2. The One That Is Supposed To Be A Little Girl And/Or An Old Woman
The following tattoo is of:
A. A little girl
B. A mature, older woman
C. A satanic doll that can stare into your soul
1. The One That Tells The World You’ve Completely Given Up
If this guy isn’t a serial killer or a board game themed super villain, then he’s clearly missed his calling.
