Merci Celebrates Female Empowerment with a Classic Image

Filed Under (), (), () by MM on Wednesday, August 26, 2009

I spotted Merci in Penn Station with this familiar icon on her calf:


The tattoo is based on this famous poster from World War II:


This image is identified with the character of Rosie the Riveter, and was introduced by Westinghouse to rally the home fires in support of the troops abroad. The image has transformed, through time, to take on a greater meaning, that of female empowerment.

This tattoo, one of three that Merci has, was created by Chris Dilworth at Tough Luck Tattoo in Lewes, Delaware.

Thanks to Merci for sharing her amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Lower Back Tattoo - Today's Generation Craze

Filed Under () by MM

There are several different tattoos shapes and designs that are available out there. With the changing trends each day in terms of designs and colors, there is something more. You can see numerous additions in the list of preferred tattoo painting spots of the beautiful ladies too. Low back is on the hit list or say on the hot list. Lower back happens to be the first priority of every woman for having the lovely designs.

There are many reasons for that. Women can hide these tattoos, they can be easily shown when needed and last but not the least these tattoos are looks very sexy on the lower back. Lower back tattoo is simply great and if it is done perfectly, it adds to the sparkling look of your waist line. A lower back tattoo is simply eye-catching. Any one can see them, if you are wearing a pair of jeans or skirt and a short top.

When you are on to a hot dancing night, adorn yourself with a short t-shirt and show off the shimmering tattoo design to have a magnetizing effect on the crowd. When you are on to a beach side picnic, a lower back tattoo does wonders for your pleasure vacation. Normally you can look chic and classy in a tattoo that has been done on any where on your body but should be perfectly done. However, tattoos done on lower back just look very sexy and are preferred for their ultimate sex appeal as compared other body parts.

The tattoos add to the exquisiteness of the thin lines of the back. Many women also have a tattoo on the arc of their upper buttocks cheeks, even these are on the list of sexy spots. To enhance the attractiveness, you should go for simple and unique tattoo for your lower back. Small designs look much more appealing and striking rather than those with huge ones.

Search well before you get a tattoo done on this sexy part of the body. Pick up a good tattoo artists to get a tattoo done on your lower back because the tattoo that you are going to engrave on your body should be perfectly and flawlessly done. Many people overlook this factor and go for amateur tattoo artists which may prove out to be a disaster for them. Selection of the right tattoo artists is very important because anyone can get the design, but if it is not made properly then having a tattoo is of no use. It is better that you go for temporary tattoo rather than a permanent one.

Tattoos that have sexual association are often exhibited in conjunction between tight fitting clothes as well as revealing clothing. Low waist jeans, midriff tops, as well as thong underwear that reveal your lower back body part and highlight the wearer's curvature are common among girls.

Various celebrities have adapted these types of tattoos and since then the popularity of these types of tattoos has grown high. These tattoos are available in sexy designs and in many shapes like rectangular, triangle, butterfly, dragonfly, and zodiac signs etc. Many people prefer those tattoos that show their zodiac signs and their personality on their lower back. Several tattoos designs and styles positioned in this place are designed by keeping in mind the show off of the curvature of the girl's body. These tattoos are mainly worn to arouse the sensuous feelings and sexual attractiveness.

Christina Ricci Tattoos

Filed Under () by MM

The child star probably is most well known for her role as Wednesday in the Addam's Family movies has several tattoos of her own. Christina's tattoos range from text tattoos, to traditional tattoos, to girly tattoos and so on.

Here's a list of Christina's tattoos:

1. A lion on her right shoulder blade. It is suppose to be Aslan from the book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Which was one of Christina's favorite books as a child.
2. A fairy on the inside of her right wrist.
3. Praying hands on her left hip, which used to be a bat.
4. A bouquet of sweetpeas on her lower back.
5. The words "Move or Bleed" on the left side of her ribcage.
6. The name "Jack" on her right thigh for a dead pet.
7. A sparrow on her right breast.
8. A mermaid on her left ankle.

Christina Ricci has confessed her love for tattoos, but knows that being an actress in Hollywood you have to be careful where you get your tattoos. As of right now all her tattoos are in places that can be covered up fairly easily. Because a lot of time producers in movies do not like their actress's to be covered in tattoos, because it is a pain to have to cover them up with make up if their clothes do not cover them up. However, Christina is hoping that she will become super famous one day so she can get a tattoo on her arm.

"I can't wait until I'm super-famous. I'm at the point when I should really hide them, because directors don't like them. When I'm really, really super famous, I'm going to get one on my arm - because nobody cares then."

Shoulder tattoos are getting more and more popular with today's women. There are a wide variety of sexy tattoo designs for women to get on that especially beautiful part of the body these days, and shoulder tattoos are very diverse. A shoulder tattoo can be in different areas of the shoulder and there are a wide variety of shoulder tattoo designs that can work for any woman.

by MM

The shoulder and the nape of the neck are both very sensual spots on the body and get a lot of unspoken attention from the opposite sex. A shoulder tattoo is a bold way for a woman to express herself whenever she wants. With so many sizes and designs, there is not much of a reason for any free-spirited woman not to get a beautiful of stylish design tattooed to her shoulder.

by MM

Like most of the tattoos that women get, shoulder tattoos are in an easily covered area. If she doesn't want to show off the beautiful pair of dolphins she just got inked, she doesn't have to. If she doesn't want the man she's dating to know she has a tattoo, she doesn't have to. The shoulder tattoo can be an after effect of a woman's beauty if she wants it to be, though most women get shoulder tattoos to show them off.

by MM

Women usually choose more feminine and symbolic designs for shoulder tattoos than the ones men usually get. Fairies, zodiac signs, butterflies, dolphins, and tribal signs are all popular shoulder tattoo designs for women. When a woman gets a shoulder tattoo she takes consideration of placement and style. Would a tribal sign look great on the front of the shoulder? Probably not unless it wrapped from the front to the back. A zodiac sign probably won't look great on the front either, but a fairy probably would.

Tattoos I Know: Avital's Ink

Filed Under (), (), (), () by MM

It seems odd and yet is not beyond comprehension that, at the last two bat mitzvahs I have attended, I came home with tattoo pictures.

The first time (documented here) was a pleasant surprise. On Saturday, August 8, however, I had no expectations, as it was my daughter's bat mitzvah.

However, much to my amazement, I noticed that one of my sister's closest friends, Avital, has two small tattoos. I was more surprised, considering that Avital is a cantor, and that whereas tattooed Jews are not as rare as they used to be, an inked cantor is still an unusual sight.

Granted, her two tattoos don't jump out at you. The om on her right ankle:


and the slender "b+" on her right wrist


are discreet enough to be overlooked by a discriminating eye, and yet these two small tattoos are large with meaning.

Avital gave me a synopsis the day I took the photos, summing up that the "b+" was a personal message to herself to always "be positive," and that it is her blood type, but she has since offered up a lengthier, more thorough explanation, which I'll share here:

" [The b+], though it is very small (1/2") represents many important parts of my life: past, present and future. When my college friend, Erica died in December from Leukemia, I was devastated. Throughout her illness, she managed to have good spirits and enjoy time with her friends and family. Her battle against cancer put life in perspective for me. I have struggled with depression most of my adult life, and when she died, I made the conscious decision to turn my life around, completely. The morning after her death, my father was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Double whammy. My sister and I had both been contemplating a tattoo for several years, but Jewish guilt always managed to turn me away. After several hours in the ER with our father, we ventured down to Kingdom [Tattoos] and got our matching b+ tattoos. It's incredible how much strength I find from this little symbol on my wrist.

And Avital added:

"And the B in the b+ tattoo is a flat. in music. since I'm a musician. I can't believe I forgot that part! flats are most commonly associated with minor, "sad" keys. so, there is a bit of sadness in the tattoo. too."

As for the om, she elaborates:

"One of the major changes I made in my life after E died was a regular Yoga practice. An unfortunate encounter with a sharp blade left a 1" scar on my inner right ankle. After about 3 months of drawing an OM over the scar with a sharpie (so tedious!) I decided to make it permanent. The OM, like my b+, centers me, calms me, and reminds me of the simpler, more important things in life."

Much thanks to Avital for sharing her tattoos and the powerful stories behind them here with us on Tattoosday.
