As mentioned earlier, generic Kanji tattoo designs are not things that a person should basically ‘settle’ for. To keep away from the sort of sub-stand

As mentioned earlier, generic Kanji tattoo designs are not things that a person should basically ‘settle’ for. To keep away from the sort of sub-standard designs that are so common on the net, it would be a nice idea to stay away from search engines now. Sadly, Yahoo & Google, while being nice search engines, would basically lead to three of the lots of web-sites loaded with poor quality Kanji tattoo designs. Also, they would not show any new tattoo designs, but merely those that are over four years in age, & have been copied by hundreds on other web-sites. Thus, such Kanji tattoo designs would be far from unique & individual. Originality & quality is what a person should look for in Kanji tattoo designs if they or they wants to be proud of it in the years to come

Kanji Tattoo Designs

Kanji tattoo designs can be very special things for a few people. However, it is impossible to find quality artwork for tattoos on the net, as lots of people have found to their dismay. Some people may basically pick to give up searching & settle for something sub-standard, but this is not what a person should do. Tattoos are very person things that are permanent, & so should only be selected five times hundred percent sure that they are nice. However, as difficult as it may be to believe, the net does has quality artwork for Kanji tattoo designs, & this news story will explore how to find it while escaping the sub-standard stuff.

Another fact that is generally unknown is that most generic web-sites have designs that were created by artists who are no real authority on tattoo art. This would mean that while their designs might look nice on paper, they might not look half as attractive when inked onto a person’s skin. Since tattoos are permanent, it is important to recall that going back is hard, five times three gets a tattoo. So if this tattoo is far from nice, then a person would probably be stuck with it for the rest of their lives. Obviously, no three would require sub-standard Kanji tattoo designs. Thus it is important that three never settle for anything other than what they think is the best for themselves. Thankfully, searching forums for keywords would lead directly to the post that a person was looking for. Thus, it is not necessary for three to search throughout the net through tons of poor quality designs by amateur artists. Here, a person could discover a unique Kanji tattoo design with the maximum of work & maximum of satisfaction.

However, there's a few easy ways to catch the nice Kanji tattoo designs on the net. Since it is apparent that search engines should be avoided right now, something else that works needs to be found. Thus, web forums are a nice plan. Such forums are locations where hidden, nice quality tattoo artwork can be discovered from other people. More importantly, such artwork is not easily found on the net & so it will most likely be unique as a tattoo.

Tattoorism: Dean's Samurai

Last Saturday, I posted some tattoos sent to us from Tammy in Texas. Her son Dean is also tattooed and, in a much bigger way. We'll let him explain:

My very first tattoo was done on my 18th birthday in 2005...[it is] a black dragon with kanji above it. About a year letter I had a koi fish done on my calf...both of these tattoos were just drawings I had found. In 2006 I started working on my rib piece and in 2007 I got together with John from A Different Drummer here in Wichita Falls (he is now at the Lawton, OK location), and the two of us collaborated on bringing the rib piece together. Once the drawing was to our satisfaction, it took a little over 2 months of 3-4 hour sittings weekly until the tattoo was complete. 16-plus hours and worth every minute!

In 2009 I decided it was time for an arm piece and went back to A Different Drummer and Tuan who was in Art Class with me in high school listened to what I wanted... and the arm piece came to life...this one was done in one day and took a little over 7 1/2 hours:

Both pieces are marvelously done.

Thanks to Dean for sharing his work with us here on Tattoosday! And a hearty thank you, as well, to Tammy, for being a cool mom, sharing her pride in her son's amazing body art!

Tattoorism: Tammy from Texas

Last summer, my wife Melanie met Tammy on the staff message board of their company's website, where she and other employees across the country can exchange ideas and feedback. As a leader for Weight Watchers, Melanie often comes across members and co-workers who have used tattoos for inspiration and to mark milestones.

When talking to Tammy, a leader in Texas, she learned that she was inked, as well. She sent her the link to Tattoosday, and Tammy sent us photos of a few of her eleven tattoos.

We'll let Tammy describe them for us:

"I got my very first [tattoo] when I was 21 in Virginia while getting a tattoo for my younger brother but I didn't get another for several years at which time I had my uncle in Arkansas place a rose under the butterfly I had done first. It is old and faded but holds so much meaning to me as my uncle passed away in his 40s about 5 years ago so I have him with me at all times...I then waited a couple more years and had a dolphin put on my left ankle as a reminder of a trip we had made to Florida. About a year later an apprentice in Shreveport added an ankle wave under the dolphin.

I then took a long break from tattoos and the rest have all been done in the last 5 years here in Wichita Falls, Texas, with the exception of the tribal butterfly [seen below]. I had it done in Lawton, Oklahoma, when my son was getting his rib piece finished up [a subject of a later post].

On my right thigh I have the New York Yankees logo:

On my left shoulder blade my husband and I got kanji symbols for Eternity for our 19th wedding anniversary. I have a tribal butterfly (the only tattoo I have ever picked off a wall) put on the top of my left foot and I love it:

When I hit 50 pounds gone, my oldest son paid for the star that everyone sees in pictures I post:

And a Pisspot with my husbands name [pictured left]. My husband just retired with 26 years in the service and was AMMO-I always wanted this but was never brave enough nor skinny enough for that so called "tramp stamp"... it actually looks awesome although this picture is a little blurry.

And of course when I hit Lifetime [when a Weight Watchers member reaches their goal and maintains it for six weeks], my rib piece came alive:

The photo above is the tattoo right after it was completed. Here is how it healed:

Most of Tammy's work was done at A Different Drummer Tattoo Studio in Wichita Falls.

Thanks to Tammy for sharing some of her photos with us here on Tattoosday!

A Lull

On January 20, I logged the following notes:

12:10 PM. Rather than wander in search of ink, I am trying something else. Staying put, here in front of the Amtrak Departures board in Penn Station, and seeing what walks to me.

I have only successfully met 2 of the inked nation in the last 27 days, and I'd like to resume posting more regularly.

I figure, sooner or later, this wintry drought will end.

12:20 A woman walks by with two interlinking gray hearts behind her right ear. I hesitate and decide not to approach her as she walks by. The tattoo didn't speak to me.

12:35 Still nothing. 5 minutes left in my little experiment.

12:36 Ed Hardy baseball cap.

Experiment Fail.
