Branded…
I’m ready for tattoo number 4. It is true, once you start, you really can’t stop. I originally thought I would only want my first one; and then as if by magic over the years, I found myself lying in a tattoo parlour – two more times.
Now I want to go AGAIN and I know they’re will probably be two more visits after that..
Anyway they are all meaningful, lets face it why get branded with something on your body FOR LIFE (I don’t believe in lazer tattoo removal – doesn’t really get rid of it now does it!) that doesn’t mean anything? I have my star sign and three stars to represent my family on the back of my ribcage, the words Carpe Diem on my back and Deliberate Creation on my inner arm.
Imported under breast
Star behind the ear
Carp on thigh
several tattoos on Erin Wasson
several on Megan Fox
several tattoos on Isabeli Fontana
several tattoos on Freja Beha Erichsen
tattoo boys at Givenchy
several tattoos on Amy Winehouse
several tattoos on Angelina Jolie
several tattos on Peaches Geldof
several tattoos on Victoria Beckham
Thing is I am unsure of where to locate it. My tattoos are all discreetly hidden. But I’m thinking lower inner arm, back of arm just above the elbow and/or foot. Hmmm – think this deserves more THINKING time…

Any time that I see a girl with “body art,” I’m reminded of Dolly Parton’s line from “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.” “Brands are for steers.” During my 4 years in the Navy, I saw a lot of people get, and then regret getting, tattoos of every description and on just about every location on their bodies. I’ve never seen anything in the least bit attractive or desirable about tattoos.
wow. body art is simply a way to express yourself, just like anything from piercings to clothing. just because someone decides to get a tattoo doesnt make them any less attractive. most tattoos have their own stories or ideas behind them, such as quotes or phoenixes or a koi fish. some people even have objects of their religion on their bodies. and a negative opinion on the subject is really unnecessary..
well actually tatoos are one way of expressing oneself, albeit a shallow one. Although i am for the more original tattoos that are so different from what we commonly know as typical ‘love’ or famous quotes…sorry but if your gonna get some now known as being so cliche, make it as ORIGINAL as POSSIBLE. that’s all. but its not something that looks good on everyone i might add…otherwise, why not?
Megan Fox is hot, but sorry, wrecking her body that way takes away from the perfection. There is after all a reason Heff’s girls, all 10′s, sport no tattoos, or at the very least, have them airbrushed off in his magazine. The readers want clean bodies with no distractions.
I think tattoos are very sexy on females! It all depends on what they get and where they get them. I feel it is very trashy for someone to get one on their neck though. I also think that most tattoos should be hidden as well! If someone ever wants to be a business professional or have people take them seriously about their job they shouldn’t be where u can see them! (Unless you are a tattoo artist yourself) I myself have 8 and want many more but am very cautious of what I get and where I get it! If I am dressed up in some nice clothes depending on what time of year it is you can only see 1 or 2 of my tatts. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of a full arm piece or leg piece but only if it has true meaning and is appropriate! To each their own though I am not here descriminating anyone or anything im just simpily giving my opinion.
Okay I am an artist and as an artist I appreciate the artistic end of tattoos. We live in a culture that is so narrow on it’s ideal of ‘beauty.’ It isn’t truly realistic or acceptable that women should look like the girl next door; big boobs, blonde hair, 20 inch waist, and small ass. These men that leave the quotes about beauty are so bloody brainwashed on what beauty really is. To me body art/tattooing is a primitive form of artistic expression to one’s tribe of the person’s identity. Art is very subjective just like beauty so body art isn’t for everyone. However hating on a woman because she isn’t playboy material or not having hidden tattoos is just ignorant. These are the same type of men who think women should be seen and not heard. Heavily tattooed women are beautiful. Kat Von D is stunning. She is a gifted artist. She is true to herself in a town that judges others on their outward appearance. She doesn’t give a shit what others think of her and she doesn’t want to fit into the box of what beauty is in Hollywood. I would give my right arm to be tattooed by her. Funny how men don’t like tattooed women yet Angelina Jolie is always on the top ten lists of women men think are ‘hot.’
