Although, Today I could see how weak my lines still are! (Partly due to the rush last session as I wanted draw all the lines in one session, even tho, I only had a short time). But no excuses! Tattoo requires of you! No excuses! Only discipline, skills and concentration! Anyway, I know I’ll fix this, while doing the shading, then go over the lines I want to make stronger! Also, yoday/today, I was very honoured due to the visit of a special guest, who came to me, to show me his amazing traditional japanese Back piece! I also was the first foreigner he ever met and spoke to, so it was a really amazing experience for me to exchange and share true respect; and love for tradition and the japanese/human spirit. Tattoos can be very intimate and private in Japan! Thank you for the honour! It was a real gift from life, to welcome him, and see the tattoo alive on him! I can tell you that guy had a really strong and beautiful spirit! That is what I love about Japanese People! You can be strong, and very humble!
Heart to Heart! Never lost in translation!
I chose to treat this piece more like a painting, so I’ll keep my spontanity flowing! Today some black and some shading!

The representation of the foliage is very ideal to a amend carnival on the beach and thus suits this wonderful figure. This particular tattoo is very appropriate to be called a Summer Tattoo.
Big Show Tattoos
Play up the tattoos up instead
Maybe a gown with a low back that shows off the tattoo on the spine, or experiment with non white dresses -- personally I think a dress in a dark color, like black or chocolate or navy, would look stunning, and show them off. The problem for me with most tattooed brides in traditional dresses is that they just don't look. . .well, traditional.
I guess what I'm saying is that on all of the dresses above, my eye immediately goes to the tattoo instead of the bride. That's the risk you run, frankly. So I would try several different types, styles, including ones that aren't wedding-y at all, to see how comfortable you feel. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with how you look and how you present yourself. Give yourself enough time to try on a broad array of gowns, including ones that cover the tatts up, and go with the one you really feel the most comfortable in.
I began collecting tattoos when I was sixteen. It would have been sooner, but in Virginia one must be at least sixteen with parental permission. I was raised a Christian, and from the ages of about 16-18 I was very Jesus-centric.
During that time I got several tattoos reflecting as much, including: a cross, a lion of Judah, a very pretty and detailed portrait of Jesus on the side of my neck, and last but not least, 'Jesus Saves' on the back of my hands.
That was over two years ago and in that time I have used my intellect and rationality to face facts and dismiss the bible as a fallacy. I am now an Atheist.
Unfortunately, my tattoos don't know that. I still have elderly cashiers noticing my hands and smiling warmly say things like 'well God bless you' or 'can't nobody complain about THOSE tattoos!'
The moral of the story is: listen to your Grandma, your religious views really may change some day. And having visible tattoos really DOES decrease your opportunities of employment.
If anyone has any advice on secular cover-ups, I'd love to hear them.
Japanese Back Tattoo Designs
The history of Japanese tattoos goes way back - they have been around for many, many years. This doesn’t mean however that they are necessary the right ones for you. You see there’s a catch with these tattoos. They’re very big, often covering the entire back, they are awfully expensive and they come in their own flavors, inspired by the Japanese culture.
The sad fact is that you will not find a tattoo parlor in the yellow pages who can make such incredible artwork. This tattoo requires a Japanese artist, but anyway a trip to Japan might be worth the trouble.
There is another catch. This is not the sort of tattoo to show off to your friends. Japanese are way more subtle than this. They are supposed to be shown only to your girlfriend or boyfriend, or occasionally to the local Yakuza mob. Yep you are reading right, this is what subtlety is in Japan, I have heard that they are still working on it. Nobody gets it right in the first place you know? Also these tattoos will hurt… a lot, because they are still doing the whole damn thing manually, so for every dot of the tattoo expect a needle expertly inserted in your skin, that if you’re lucky of course and through the expert hand there isn’t some sake flowing.[STH]
Eye tattoos?

Can anybody say staff infection in your newly "tattood" eye? Bleck!
