Kat Von D Tattoo - la ink tattoos designs

la ink tattoos

kat von D tattoos | la ink tattoos



Last week I picked up Kat Von D's first book entitled High Voltage Tattoo, I was pretty excited to flip through it because I've been wanting her to release a compilation of her tattoo work for a long time. I think the skills she has in terms of rendering realistic imagery onto the skin are just mind blowing.

I first became familiar with her work on the TLC show Miami Ink, on that show she was the only female crew member of an all male tattoo shop, although the men on the show had some great skills of their own hers really stood out to me. Before I saw her work I didn't give much thought to the artistry that really goes into tattooing, I didn't know much about it or had any respect for it, but seeing the things she was able to accomplish with a needle, ink and skin, were really amazing to me. It made me look at tattooing on a whole other level and her attention to detail, the intricacy and Baroque inspired artistry that she puts in her work are really inspiring to me.

Kat Von D now has her own show on TLC, called L.A Ink, for her shop she focused on hiring a mostly female and very talented main crew. The contents of the book range from the biographical to her portfolio of work. I wasn't that interested in the bio stuff as much, but I loved the portfolio section more than anything.
I can't really put into words how beautifully designed this book is, its something that you have to see for yourself. Conceptually its very Gothic and has many little intricate details that totally reflect the artistic and personal style and lifestyle of Ms. Von D herself. It makes for a great coffee table book and an awesome reference piece if you're an illustrator interested in tattoo work, or just someone who is a fan of hers and her work.



She specializes in Black & Grey work, which she thinks allows for more realism. My favorite thing about her work are all the little details she adds like the filigree and her use of shading to add volume and dimension. When I first started illustrating my work was very minimal but that was more because I was lazy and not a chosen aesthetic. Her work inspires me to take more time and really add those details that will make my work look like a completed piece instead of something half way done. You can always tell when you work needs that extra something to make it pop.

I love the fact that drawings she did as a kid are included in the book. I still keep a lot of my early drawings from when I was around 5 or 6, and some of the sketches I did in school while bored lol. Its great to look back on that stuff and see how much you've grown as an artist over the span of your life.

I highly recommend checking out the book if you're a fan of hers or you want to see some great examples of tattoo work if you're interested in getting one done yourself. The book has advice on how to go about selecting your tattoo, finding an artist, what you need to communicate to your artist, what the process will entail and what to do to take care of your tattoos. She also has a section where she busts some tattoo myths. There's a 3 page layout chronicling all the individual tattoos on her body, and at the end of the book the work from some favorite fellow tattoo artists is featured.

Its a great book, filled with rock n roll and some of the best tattoos in the world!

Kat Von D will be doing a book signing at Borders Bookstore on Broad Street in Philadelphia on March 7th! So look out for her in a bookstore near you.

Often people don't realize just how hard it can be to do well. They assume because they've seen it so much, it must be a rudimentary skill for any tattoo artist. The truth is that all tattoo artists have specialties. Some are really great with the human form while others might be amazing when it comes to mythical creatures. At the same time, some might be more skilled when it comes to lettering than others. There are a few key things you have to be aware of to ensure your tattoo lettering comes out exactly the way you want it.Before you commit to a tattoo, research the artist thoroughly. Ask to see previous samples of their lettering and talk to former clients if possible. Ask them if what they received was what they envisioned. Discuss the process with them and see how helpful the artist was in guiding them through the experience. Also ask the artist about their experience. Don't be shy! While you might not want to seem like you are questioning their credibility, you have to realize that a tattoo is a lifetime commitment. They will probably be happy to share their credentials or past work experience with you

Feminine Tattoo Designs

Feminine Tattoo Designs Women are more delicately built as compared to men, and hence their tattoos too are delicate. Delicate things like flowers, and butterflies have always been associated with femininity throughout the centuries. But this does not mean that women can have only small and delicate feminine tattoos, many women have been observed to prefer the large and bold tattoos just like the men. However, a great majority of women rarely go for a large and aggressive tattoo. They usually seem to prefer feminine tattoos, for their exquisite beauty and the deep symbolic meaning, as women always love to add an aura of mystery to themselves. Let's take a look at some of the most popular feminine tattoo designs for women.

Dragon Tattoo Gallery - Where to Find the Best

dragon back tattoo tribalDragon tattoos are excellent choices for ink. Strong, bold, yet intricate and exact; these tattoos definitely pop out. So where can you find the best designs? A dragon tattoo gallery will contain all kinds of dragon designs. Here are 3 different options:

1. Free sites online:

There are a number of free gallery sites online where you can find many different tattoos, including dragons. Many of the free dragons you'll find tend to be generic designs that you have probably seen before. Nothing too elaborate, elegant, or bold. But if you are looking for a basic design, then a free site might be for you.

2. Tattoo Artists Gallery.

Another option for a dragon tattoo gallery, are individual tattoo artists which have their own site, and specialize in dragons. These can be very unique and original, but there may be a fairly high fee for obtaining each design. Nevertheless you may find a great design that could definitely be worth it.

3. Tattoo Membership Galleries Online.

The best option for a dragon tattoo gallery is usually one which features many different designs listed in various categories. Membership sites provide this. Each category will contain "the best of the best". The category for dragons will contain high quality designs, which work excellent for tattoos. After you find your ideal dragon design, you can always go back and download more designs for future tattoo work. Good galleries will usually have a one time sign up fee, but you will get access to an unlimited number of designs which you can download for present or future ink work.

hot girls tattoos on sleeve and chest

 girls tattoos on sleeve and chestBy far, most individuals choose to get their first visible tattoo on their arm. Tattoo designs for the arm vary as much as do individual tastes. There are a few factors one must consider when commissioning such a piece. Most importantly, of course, is the size of one's arm! One should also keep in mind that one's arms will likely get smaller or larger as they age and that this may affect the aesthetics of the tattoo. Skin tone, one's occupation and other considerations will also come into play when displaying tattoo art on the arms.

Most individuals who have jobs where tattoos are generally frowned upon, such as the military or law enforcement, opt to get their artwork placed on the upper arm. In recent years, pieces that were exclusively on the exterior section of the arm have been surpassed in popularity by tattoos that actually wrap around the entire arm. For those who have good muscle tone, this can be particularly attractive as the shading and color work can enhance the visual impact of their muscle. Those who have less-toned muscles have the advantage of having a much more flexible palate on which the artist might work.

Upper arm tattoos can generally be very large and bold as, on occasions when one is required not to display them, they're easily concealed with mid-sleeve shirt. However, those who want to display their tattoos at all times may want to consider moving to a lower section of the arm. Especially in very light-skinned individuals, the upper arms are prone to sun burning and keeping one's tattoos exposed to bright sun not only fades the colors but carries with it the risk of potentially dangerous sun burns. Keep this in mind when choosing this location.

Back Tattoos Designs - Choosing Tattoos For Amazing Artwork

back tattoos designsDeciding on what back tattoo designs to go for can be a thorough process since this is a body canvas that is flat, smooth and large so the possibilities for a superb body art are endless. With a tattoo this magnitude, one has to consider careful planning and sufficient time in determining what imagery to go for.

When going for back tattoos, you have to decide on the exact placement. There are 3 options to choose from, namely upper back, lower back and full back. Upper back is appropriate for small to medium tats and this is commonly seen in men than women. This is also a good starting point when one eventually wants to extend this into full sleeve tattoos, shoulder tattoos and yes, full back tats. Some of the popular designs used for upper back are tribal art, wings, sun and moon.

Lower back tattoos is the area of the back that is more popular with women than men. Even if it's labeled as tramp stamp or trashy by some, it still hasn't lost its appeal as it still is very much around. Butterfly, flowers and vines are examples of the most sought after designs for these area of the body.

Full back tattoos covers the entire back and usually goes with a theme. Images are intricate and detailed as the area is large enough to accommodate such art piece. Full back tattoos usually takes more one one session and is more costly.

Back tattoo designs should be symmetrical on the body area that you will choose whether it be on your upper back, lower back of full back to best highlight its beauty and style. Most important of all, just make sure that its a design that you will love for the rest of your life as you would not want to regret it in the end.

back tattoos designs for girls

back tattoos designs for girls
litle fairy tattoos | star tattoos dragonfly tattoos
One of the most fashionable trends that has evolved in tattoo design is the back tattoos designs for girls. It has developed to be one of the most popular choices for women in terms of the placement and location of their tattoos. This is the sexiest part of a woman's body since it highlights the natural curve of a woman's figure. It is one section of the body that a woman can show off without exposing too much. Having a tattoo on this part of the body is also attractive due to today's modern fashion. Low rise jeans are designed to be worn low around the hips to expose a lower back tattoo. In addition to this, cropped top and midriffs clothes definitely allow more visibility and bring focus to the curves of a woman's lower back. This location also gives women the advantage of being able to totally hide or conceal their tattoos when necessary, since the lower back can be fully covered with regular and conservative clothes.

Aside from the sexy appeal and seductiveness that these tattoos present, they are frequently in demand because of the ample space that they provide for a wide tattoo design. This area is one of the widest parts of the human body, making it spacious for larger or horizontal tattoo designs. The lower back is also less likely to stretch due to weight change or pregnancy so the tattoo doesn't shrink or fade easily.

There are a lot of designs to choose from when it comes to lower back tattoos. Larger "V" designs or the horizontal designs like the tribal, heart, butterfly or fairies are the most popular. Other smaller designs such as stars, hearts, crosses and suns are also more often in demand. They can also be multi-colored or monotone, big or small, symmetrical or asymmetrical-the possibilities are endless.

It is always hard to choose the right design since tattoos are permanent and hard to remove, so always remember to do a little research. Most tattoo parlors have an extensive selection of designs that can be applied on the lower back, and it is not hard to look for a pattern or an example in different popular tattoo magazines.

Tribal Tattoo Designs

This tribal tattoo is almost typical of what one might see today when looking at tribal tattoo designs. And this one might also be a little more intricate and just a bit more busy than a lot of the tribal tattoos you will find. A design made to be worn from the shoulder to the elbow, this tattoo probably has its origins in some real South Pacific tribe where the warriors of the tribe would wear such things. I don’t know what they all stood for but I am pretty certain that this would have been the type that marked a tribal warrior. It may also have marked what tribe he belonged to, as many did a very long time ago.

Truth is that many of the people who come up with these tribal tattoo designs today have no idea of the meaning behind these tattoos. They are simply imitating an art form that has become very popular around the world, and thus has become profitable. I am sure there are still many tribal tattoo designs out there that have stayed true to their beginning roots but I would not know how to tell which is which. You would need a real expert along for that job.

Tribal Tattoo Designs

Here are some tribal tattoo designs that would probably work well on any part of the body. They are all well done and interesting to look at and at the same time they are very simple in nature and I like tattoos that manage to achieve both of those things at once. I don’t think they really stand for anything I think they are just meant to look good and they do.

gun tattoos for girls on chest

gun tattoos for girlsThe right kind of tattoo on a girl can be incredibly sexy. Here are some important points when going for a sexy girl tattoo:

1. What kind of design? A sexy girl tattoo should be something erotic, exotic, and even a little dangerous looking. What you should not get is something "cute", like a rose or some common type of girl tattoo. The design that stands out is going to be strong and sexy. You can still bring femininity into your tattoo by adding other elements around it. For instance a dragon tattoo on a female can be very sexy, while you can then add in surrounding stars or small flowers to accentuate feminine qualities, while remaining sexy and dangerous.

2. Where to get your female sexy tattoo? Areas that accentuate a sexy tattoo are upper arms, upper back, and upper thigh areas. Other areas may work well also, but one area to avoid is the lower back. While this area has been viewed as a sexy place to get your female tattoo, it's been played out and become too much of a trend. Now slang terminology has emerged referring to female low back tattoo's as "tramp stamps". So instead of "sexy", low back tattoo's have turned into trendy and unoriginal.

3. How large? Generally sexy female tattoo's tend to be bigger, which contributes to their strong, stand out look. Again, a small tattoo tends to be more "cute" than sexy. Whereas a larger tattoo stands out and can be much more elaborate, sexy and "dangerous looking". It need not be a large mural filling up your whole back, but an above average sized tattoo tends to be the sexiest.

cute and small Rose Tattoo Designs

roce tattoo designsA very popular tattoo image is a rose tattoo design. This can appear in many different styles and designs with some images looking like single roses and others looking like bunches of flowers. Sometimes the rose tattoo design appears as a border around other tattoo designs as ornamentation. Almost every tattoo shop in the world has this sort of flower design within their tattoo image catalog. Because of its popularity the rose tattoo design is very familiar to these tattoo shop artists. For many years the rose tattoo was one of the most popular designs for men and women tattoo shop customers alike.

Some tattoo artists become specialists at this sort of tattoo deign and have many customers that return for additional flower tattoos over the years. The flowers may all be the same type of flower or some people even get tattoos of various types of flowers on their bodies. As the vibrant colors start to fade over time as all tattoo images do, the customers will go back to the tattoo shop artists and have the tattoo image re-inked to bring back that vibrancy and sharpness of color to the images. This is becoming a very common thing for many people to have done to keep the vibrant colors in their tattoo images. It doesn’t take nearly as long to recolor a tattoo as it does to have one done initially. Sometimes the whole process takes only an hour or so to accomplish.

If you want to have a rose tattoo design on your body you can search online for any web site that has these sorts of images, whether the images are drawings or photographs. Any photos can be brought to the tattoo shop and the artists can create a tattoo image from the photo and add any elements the customer wants to add in. The artists can also remove any elements that don’t fit in the design or to make it a better tattoo image for the customer. The customer may also want to have the rose tattoo design as a border for another tattoo image which is always popular with customers.

It’s no longer only women who have flower tattoos on their bodies. Many men have started having flower tattoos inked onto their bodies though the design may be part of a larger design which doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with flowers. Maybe it’s a tattoo image of a dragon with roses in its teeth or a scene of a castle with roses flowing down over the sides. The main thing to remember is that the rose tattoo need not be just for women or just for men either. There’s no reason that both sexes can’t have a rose tattoo design on their bodies.

cute dragon tattoos for girls

cute dragon tattoosDragon tattoo art has been one of the most sought after designs especially among male tat enthusiasts. The creature, although mythical and non-existent has strong symbolism attached to it, not to mention the artistic appeal it has when inked on one's body.

Dragon tattoos can represent two different meanings depending on how they are portrayed. In the West, they are regarded as an evil and mean winged creature who breathes fire and guards caves with golds and jewels. Those who want to get these treasures have to slay the dragon first. In this case, dragon tattoos can mean fearless, power, courage and strong will.

The other symbolism of dragon tattoo art is good luck, fortune and wisdom as how they are look upon in the East. In China, they are the main symbol during the celebration of Chinese New Year as they are believed to bring prosperity, benevolence and good will. As a tattoo design, they can mean intelligence, protection, balance and harmony.

Dragon tattoo designs are very adaptable and flexible body art and looks great on large areas of the body such as the arm, rib cage, chest, back and shoulder blade. They can be seen inked in colors such as red and green while others opt for the plain black ink with some tribal touch. They can be portrayed as terrifying or monster-like, charming and kind and even small and innocent. It all depends on what kind of message the person sporting the tattoo wants to portray.

When it comes to resources for design of dragon tattoo art, its always best to do your research first before purchasing one. Read reviews online of the tattoo gallery membership being promoted and see which one best suit your need.

henna tattoo

henna tattoo on feetI think that cute small tattoo designs on the wrist, ankle or foot are the hottest thing for a woman to get inked! I can not tell you how many times I have gotten scorned for looking at some woman's ankle design and accused of checking out her legs. I was only trying admire the artwork on an ankle or foot. I try to talk my female friends to get one in these locations when they ask for my help. Most of them agreed and are proud of their choice of their new cute feminine tattoo

Girly tattoo designs choices for these locations include butterfly, star, heart, flower or perhaps a cute and sexy bracelet design. A Japanese inspired design would also be a great choice for an exotic mysterious look. Tribal or a wrap around design would also be awesome. The wrap will force people to change their view to get a look at the other side and perhaps get into trouble. A tip for guys would be to just ask to check it out. Be safe and not creepy. Most times they will be more than happy to show it off. This is also a good way to meet new friends.

Anyone getting inked on the ankle, foot, or wrist should be ready for a bit of pain especially females and girls. This is one of those areas that have little natural fat or padding. If you are worried about this just start out with a small tattoo design. A cute one that will be done and over very quickly just in case you find it too painful. For most people the worry about the pain is worse than pain itself. Take a friend to talk to for support and to kill the time. I have had my hand squeezed numb a few times in this support role.

Cute girly feminine tattoos on the ankle, foot or wrist can very easily hidden for a job or when ever you do not want the attention they can sometimes bring. There are many ideas for these locations but only the individual can choose the ideal one for your happiness. Choose the best design that expresses your personality and that you are prepared to live with for the rest of your life.

men`s hand tattoo tribal - Tips on Your New Tattoo

tribal tattoo on handYou have decided that you are ready for a new tattoo and you have chosen a tribal spider tattoo as your design, but you know that there is more to it than that, right? Tribal tattoos are very hot lately and it is easy to see why they are. But there are some questions you need to think about before you get your new tribal spider tattoo. Doing the proper planning beforehand can save time and money and it could mean the difference in the quality of your tattoo.

If you have already gone and used Google Images for your search for your new design, you need to know that so has everyone else. This is the first place that tattoo lovers go when looking for new designs, but it means that you could risk ending up with the same spider tattoo as someone else. And that isn't what you want.

I recommend researching a pay tribal tattoo site. A pay tattoo site gives you access to custom tribal designs as well as tattoo artists that do nothing but specialize in tribal tattoos. You also gain access to a huge community of like-minded tattoo enthusiasts that can help you with any questions you might have. These sites also contain quality reviews of local tattoo parlors so that you can find a tattoo shop that focuses on tribal ink. It seems as if there are new tattoo parlors opening up all the time, so finding the right one can take a huge worry off your mind.

They might not do all these things but certainly they will help you to portray whatever message you would like. Flower tattoos have a naturalistic echo to them and this can be the reason why women tend to gravitate to this type of tattoo over men. This certainly doesn't exclude men from getting them but, by and large, many more women choose this type of tattoo.

The flower tattoo also has a spring like message to it and therefore young girls are attracted to it. For girls, it is about the natural side of the tattoo and the light message that is given from it. The flower tattoo expresses newness and beauty that radiates from, openness and life, and for these and many more reasons girl really like to choose this tattoo. On the other hand boys tend to be excited about more animated tattoos like the raging buffalo, fire breathing dragon, the venomous scorpion, and the ferocious lion. These types of tattoos are among many of the favorite that young boys like to get, if they decide they want a tattoo. Whether or not mom and dad will let them get a tattoo is another article.

Normally the placement of flower tattoos is on the center of the arm, lower part of a foot, ankles and sometimes on the lower back. You should consider the placement as a continued express of who you are and what message you are trying to convey to others. If you are getting this for your son or daughter, remember that kids can be cruel and tease so, be discrete when getting them a tattoo.

The flower tattoo comes in two forms; one is temporary and the other is permanent, and the choice is yours which one will be the best. You might want to first consider trying to do the temporary one as it will give you the option to remove it later on if you don't really like it. On the other hand if you have made up your mind, then getting a permanent flower tattoo might be the best choice. Nowadays teenagers often try to avoid getting the permanent tattoos because of their routine in life and their parents.

Getting a tattoo, like the flower tattoo, comes in a variety of designs and different styles. For some people they become troubled with the decision making process and this can cause allot of stress. Visiting a local tattoo parlor will be helpful in deciding which one to go with.

Girls Back Tattoo Ideas

Girls Back Tattoo IdeasA popular tattoo placement for Girl Tattoo's have been on the back, specifically the lower back. Here are some girl back tattoo ideas and tips that would work well for that area.

1. Flowers, butterflies, or dragons! These range from the pretty to the dangerous. Whatever your personal tastes are, some popular choices for lower back tattoos have been flowers symbolizing feminine qualities, a butterfly symbolizing intricate beauty, or a dragon symbolizing strength and danger. All work well on the lower back and because of the large area they can be intricately inked on for detail.

2. Large vs Small Back tattoo. I bring this up because I've noticed many girls whom after getting their tattoo, express a regret of not having got it bigger! Usually people go in to a parlor relatively conservative and are fearful that their tattoo will be too big. But when all is said and done, many reflect and realize a bigger design would have been more preferable. And this often seems the case with girl back tattoo's. Remember that there is a decent amount of surface to work with, and getting a tiny tattoo is probably not going to look that great, and could even resemble a blemish if it's not big enough too actually fully notice.

3. A mural girl back tattoo. Some of the sexiest tattoo's I've seen have been murals, or mini murals. This is where a combination of designs are infused into one large design, so for instance a combination of flowers with butterflies could make up a nice idea. You could also start out with just one design and make it into more of a mural as time goes on.
