My Favorite Tattoo Trend & Fav Celebrity Tat



My favorite celebrity tattoo is Amber Rose's upper bicep tattoo. It's creative and symbolizes her public persona. While some may look at it as cheesy, or typical because it's roses, I find it quite unique. The colors and design are something to be marveled... My favorite tattoo trend is words tatted on the upper back. What better way to make a statement, or draw attention to something, than by tatting it on the top of your back? Alot of celebrities have tattoos like this, but my favorite upper back tattoo is 50 Cent's "South Side" one. It's original, unique and awesome to look at. He has chosen not to remove this signature tattoo. Lloyd Banks' "Rotten Apple" tattoo, which was inspired by his mentor 50's, is another feast for the eyes. Banks had his tattoo done at Miami Ink where Kat Von D, who is also featured below, used to work. Personally, I would not get an upper back tattoo because I think it's more adorning on men. However, a girl must admit that they're eye-catching.

Pro Wrestler's and Their Tattoos

The men and women of the pro wrestling world sport some self-defining tattoos. From The Rock to Lita to Randy Orton, most wrestler's are covered with art that means something to them. Also, their body art is a way for fans to identify them and remember them forever. I mean who could ever forget The Rock's bull and Samoan tattoos, or Lita's green gargoyle which is tattooed on her upper bicep. Lita also has the word punk tattooed inside of her lower lip (ouch). Those are just my two favorite wrestler's with tattoos, but take a look and decide whose tat you like. Enjoy the photos of these pro wrestler's and their body art:

Cheesy or Cute: Tattooed Love (Couples Edition)

I tend to believe that couples who tattoo their spouse's name on them are cute, but bad luck. It seems like everyone, from regular people to celebs, who tattoos their beloved ones name on them, or a symbol of their love for them ends up breaking up. I'll just name some examples: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee; Eva Longoria and Tony Parker; Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton; Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder; Rihanna and Chris Brown; Hulk Hogan and Linda Hogan; Kenyon Martin and Trina; and last but not least Amy Winehouse, Miley Cyrus, Brandy, and Halle Berry ALL had tattoos for their lovers which were ultimately covered up instead of completely removed. The wrestler The Undertaker had his ex-wife's name removed from his throat. There are some who last the tide, but still face infidelity rumors: Victoria and David Beckham, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Khloe and Lamar Odom, and Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey. I think if someone loves another person, it really isn't necessary to prove it by inking yourself with their name, initials, lips, etc. But I guess to each his own; whatever floats your boat. I believe that it's bad luck though. Would you consider tattooing your significant others name on your body??? Take a look at the slideshow above to see some of their ink.

Tattoo Sleeve's on Women



What do you all think about tattoo sleeves on women? Or even full body tats? Well as a woman I personally wouldn't get one done. I just always tend to think "how will it look when I'm 50 or 60." That's my way of determining what tattoos I want, by thinking about the meaning behind it and what it will look like when I'm older. It's ultimately your own decision, but no one stays young forever. Tattoo sleeves are beautiful on women, but I just wouldn't get one. Amy Winehouse, Daisy De La Hoya and Kat Von D are some of the celeberity women who have tattoo sleeves. They all look great. I just always tend to wonder how they will look on me on my wedding day... Daisy's sleeve has the theme of The Nightmare Before Christmas. While it is a classic movie, what does that truly symbolize? I'm sure it means something to her, I just hope she doesn't regret getting it when she's older.
