Megan Fox tattoos
Here is the one she has with her fiances name Brian, whilst doing her photo shoot for FHM she was asked what would she do if she and Brian broke up? She simply said ” I would keep it, as I can always name my child Brian”.
She has a script about a butterfly. There is nothing planned about her tattoos. She simply gets one when she wants one and with whatever is meaningful to her at that moment in time, as it will be a lasting memory as to what she thought about whilst deciding her tattoo.
Adding Tattoo to a Photograph
This tutorial will show you how you can insert a tattoo design to a photograph with only couple of simple steps in photoshop. So, here’s my before and after photo:
Step 1) Let’s working on the tattoo image first. Select your magic wand tool from your tool pallete, then select the white background on your tattoo design. Make sure you have selected every white on the image. After that, go to select>inverse (shift+ctrl+i)
Step 2) Drag your tattoo design to your portrait. Or you can copy it (ctrl+c) then paste it (ctrl+v) in your portrait.
Step 3) Now, you need to resize your tattoo by pressing ctrl+t so that it will fit nicely on the lady’s back.
Step 4) Done with resizing, your next step is to reshape the tatto like the body part using the warp feature (right click while you’re still in free transform mode)
Step 5) Now change the layer mode of the tatto design layer to multiply and play around with the opacity for the desired look. Mine is 54%
You’re done!

Alien Tattoos on Legs
A gray alien and its landing craft. The craft has lightening bolts around it, and looks similar to the ufo on the Simpson's animated series. Done in colored ink on this guy's leg.
Another Giger type woman, this done in black ink.
The xenomorph from the Aliens movie series. It is done in black ink with white highlights and it shown clawing into the guy's leg.
A much happier depiction of aliens on this guy's legs. We see an old '50s style rocket ship on one leg and an apparent battle between a scrubbing bubble and green alien. Who will win, the frenetic scrubbing bubble with its wily swirling moves or the cold hearted unblinking big-headed alien. The fate of our universe hangs in the balance!!!!
Alien on Arm Tattoos Pictures
A giant blue tattoo on this guy's arm depicting the alien from the eponymous movie, based on the artwork of Giger.
Another blue ink alien tattoo design in the style of Giger. Showing a woman alien with various pointy features.
A big-eyed, big-headed alien. This type is often called a gray, and is the kind that was found in Roswell, and then covered up by the government. A beautiful rendition in blue and white ink, with stars, a perspective road, pine trees.
Another guy with an alien, this one, done in black ink, is a cross between the Aliens movie and the Predator movie (note the dreadlocks).

Hot girls tattoos on sleeve and chest
By 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.
Tattoo Lettering
tattoos have some form of lettering in them. Whether it be a name, a date or even a scripture, tattoo lettering can make or break the piece. 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 youFlower Tattoo Design
Flower tattoos generally look nice, are a beautiful way to express who you are, and can be one of the easiest ways to show your fashion sense. 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.
The flower tattoo is an expression for men, women, boys and girls and the process can become daunting when having to consider everything. So, when you are ready, take a deep breath and go at it one step at a time.
Kat Von D High Voltage Tattoo
High Voltage Tattoo
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.
Memorial tattoo by Kat Von D
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.
