Anus Tattoo - Becoming Mainstream?

People can get tattooed on most parts of their bodies and everyone who shares a passion for Ink is aware of that but sometimes there are areas on the body that people don't really think or consider getting tattooed such as the anus.

It might sound funny but it happens more often that one can imagine, like the old saying : "Just becausee you don't see it it don't mean it isn't there".

Here are some of the examples of Anus Tattoos, not only women get them Men get them as well.

It looks like a trend that might have been around for some time already but now is becoming mainstream.

Cool Tattoos Spotted on the Web.

Arizona court ruling defends tattoo shops' first amendment rights.

A court ruling just handed down in Arizona says a tattoo parlor is protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that tattoo shops are free to open businesses in any commercial area.

The ruling comes after the City of Mesa rejected an application to open a tattoo parlor because it was incompatible with the neighborhood.

A judge says the city does not have the right to deny a permit for a tattoo parlor based on the neighborhood's perception of tattoo shops.

Finally the season to get Inked is here.

Being aware of tattoo aftercare most people know that the best season to get tattooed starts in the Fall season all the way till Spring.

Other people wonder why, here's why.

1) The tattoo will always be covered and protected from the sun and environment in general.

2) The healing process goes smooth and since it is always covered up one does not care about the ugly stage of it.

3) Allowing the tattoo to heal completely (the way it should before being exposed) makes it ready for Summer which means the Ink will be displayed looking fresh and well taken care of like it should be.

Sometimes people feel the need to show their Ink right away and it gets to a point where they don't care if it is well healed or not, they just want to show it and that causes many problems to the artwork.

An infected tattoo could occur not only with infected needles, it also occurs when the tattoo is immediately exposed to the environment and an infection can lead to scars and more.

If you live an a tropical environment the best thing to do is simply wear lightweight loose fitting clothes to avoid discomfort.

Inked in NYC

This weekend I took time to spot catchy tattoos and businesess in Downtown Manhattan. There's always great stuff to look at especially when it comes to Body Modification. New York City has an amazing amount of Tattoo businesess and the shops don't limit themselves to just tattoos.

Anything you want to do or add to your body can be found anywhere among the five boroughs, from scarification, implants and other things that normally one can't find just anywhere.

I'm always busy walking around the city as well as visiting other areas, states, etc. There is so much to talk about and many things to share. Each bourough in the city is full of amazing, talented and skilled artists in this field and the diversity can be broader that in many other states.

I recently got some fresh Ink and even though is the size of a quarter it is something I wanted to get tattooed on for a very long time. I'm not really into showing tattoos during the "ugly stage" of it and I rather to be patient and wait till it heals properly so I can proudly show it. I will keep you posted.

Labret Piercing

Labret is a sort of entire body piercing. The phrase labret has been derived from labrum that stands for lip and is also utilized to refer to any style of jewelry that is worn on the lip or all-around it. Having said that, when spoken in preferred parlance, labrets refers to lip piercing that is completed just beneath the bring down lip and a bit previously mentioned the chin.

The preferred phrase tongue pillar is also utilized to refer to labrets. Although some consider this piercing to be a latest fad, this is not correct as a point out of labrets has been observed in numerous historic cultures.

These consist of the Aztec civilization as very well exactly where it was customary for males of superior social standing to use labrets. These entire body piercing jewelry pieces have been usually produced of pure gold and carved into the shape of serpents. Most of these gold labrets have been studded with precious stones like as jade or obsidion to mirror the position of the wearer in the social hierarchy. Whilst Aztecs utilized gold labrets, most African tribes utilized wood, ivory or quartz crystal labrets.

In some tribes, it is not rare to discover adult females sporting labrets that are produced of abalone shell or bestial bone. Archeologists have even observed labrets produced of walrus ivory and obsidian dating again to 8700 BC in Kamchatka and 6400 BC in Iran. Archeological discovering also position in direction of the utilized of labrets by the lieu population of Balkans and Sudan that can be traced again to 5000 BC and 3700 BC respectively. At this time, labrets produced of wooden and ivory are mostly utilized by a several tribes belonging to the Amazonian area and Africa.

Some of these tribes have graduated to wearing lip plates produced of wooden in the place of comparatively inconspicuous labrets. As opposed to the Aztecs exactly where labrets have been reserved only for males, African tribes call for adult females to use labrets for religious function. Labret piercing, can be completed in numerous distinctive methods and the labrets can be placed in distinctive sections of the lip.

Vertical labrets are by far the most preferred sort of lip piercing in which the best of the higher lip is pierced. In snake bites labret piercing, twin piercing is produced to resemble the sign of a snake bite. Off late, youngsters are also opting for the spider bite labret piercing in which carefully spaced twin piercing is produced on the similar facet of the experience.

Spiky Lamp Posts

One thing I learned about New York City is that anything can be fun and turn into art as well. Looking at the lamp posts from a distance I was intrigued on finding out what was them decorated with. It was eye catching, super cool and looked awesome.

Once I got closer I realized it was made using the simplest thing on hand and I wondered how come no one ever thought about it before.

I stood there and had to take a few pictures so I can share a fun, cool and creative way of making the lamp posts appealing without having to re-design or try to go fancier to make them look better.

The Pictures were taken at Astor Place.

Getting Inked Up? - Remember This

Everyday I hear stories about tattoos, some are good and some are bad. Most people life happily for the rest of their lives with their Ink and some simply regret having it applied to their body, it makes me wonder why, why the regret. What can make someone regret having a tattoo done, here's what I believe.

Possible reasons to regret a tattoo

1) Ignorance: Sometimes people decide to go get tattooed without doing research first, just because someone like a specific artist does not meant you have to like the same artist too. Someone might think that a tattoo done at someone's backyard that costs twenty dollars might look good in their eyes but that does not mean it has to appeal to everyone.

I've seen people who like certain styles, designs, artists, etc. they see in the magazines and they wish they could have something in their body that looks as good as what they see but never go for it, they decide to stick to the basics and after they get the work done they still wish what they got looked as good as they one they saw in the mag.

Remember this

The basics on getting the best tattoo are easy
a) Do research: Don't go for the first tattooer you cross paths with, you have to like their style, it really has to be appealing on a high level. If you look at a tattooers work and you really think looks good enough (magazine appeal), go for it.

b) Hygiene: That's one of the most important to have in consideration. Tattoos do get infected and the scar it leaves behind is even worst. Most tattooers have knowledge on how important hygiene is regardless of the size of the studio they work at.

c) Appeal: When you're waiting for you turn to get tattooed you want to feel at peace, confortable and confident that the work will come out good, at relaxed environment helps a lot. Believe it or not, a chaotic environment is not the best environment to get Inked. I've seen tattoo shops where people are screaming, yelling, using foul language, sexually explicit jokes and even fighting while having customers and they simply don't realize they're creating a hostile work environment which is not good for them and the customers.

If you go to a tattoo parlor and you don't feel confortable the best thing to do is leave. Reputable shops make sure that thier customers are confortable being in an appealing environment, also most reputable shop employees have excellent customer service skills (who knew!).

d) Customer's Health: If you have a health issue that concerns you at the time you're about to get tattooed make sure you get advice from the artist. He or She will be open about what's best, your health comes first.

Body Piercing Jewelry Update

Jewelry has never been just a girl thing. Men and women have equally been found of especially body piercing jewelry, from very old times.

The history of body piercing jewelry goes back to at least a good 2000 years back. Piercing and tattooing is a very ancient art, and was practiced in many countries all over the world. In countries of ancient culture piercing was taken as a religious art. In Egypt, only the royal families were allowed to get body pierced to wear jewelry, for it was considered to be a right of only the privileged class. Though the medieval ages completely shunned the body piercing culture, with the later ages, it came in to forefront all over again and has gained immense popularity for many years now.

The way the young crowd sees piercing is from a completely different point of view. While some take it as a style statement, many find it to be an expression of their own personality. For that, they want to wear the body jewelry every day; some even want to wear it to work. This is accepted that not all kinds of piercing jewelry should or can be worn to offices of the most common nature. Piercings like those on the lips or the corset piercing or the piercing of the more wild types are never suited for an office environment.

That should not be a reason to get sad, for ear piercing and nose piercing are usually allowed by any type of work places. Even the eye brow piercings are also accepted by some work places, if the environment is not much conservative and the piercing jewelry is not too gaudy. A small barbell or small sober colored banana or spike should go well with many work places. As for the nose piercing, rings are not much appreciated in many offices. However, a small stud or cone should not be trouble at most liberal work places.

For students, wearing piercing jewelry is not really a problem. Though the more unconventional ones would not go well down with the authorities, the simple ones like lip or labret jewelry, belly button rings, eye brow jewelry or even the industrial piercings, if kept within a limit, should not be of much problem.

However, it all differs from institution to institution. Work places which are more of a flexible or creative nature, like restaurants or music cafes or even stores, do not put much restriction on the use of regular piercing jewelry for their employees. It is a common sight in television to catch chefs or musicians heavily pierced and wearing different jewelry items in lips and eye brows and biceps and so many places. But not everyone is lucky like them, for the most common mass of people have to work in conventional places.

A wholesale body jewelry shop is such a place where you can find body jewelry of any type for any use, and within a very affordable price range.
