Well, I finally got my first foot tattoo; A female sugar skull figure on the top of my right foot. The good news is that it is freakingly, amazingly gorgeous. The bad news is that it was, by far, the most painful tattoo I have ever gotten and it’s not finished. Read about my experience and then you can join my best friend in contemplating my mental stability, seeing as how I will be returning in a few days for more torture. Yay!
As you can see in the photo, my foot is still a bit swollen on day four when this picture was taken. On day five, it’s swollen up toward the toes but the rest of it seems to be almost back to normal. The skin is dry and the tattoo is looking a bit “wrinkled” but no sign of peeling yet. Pain is almost non-existent at this point, thank goodness!

Scars are an intimidating blot on the skin, which are often different to differentiate unless otherwise done over with. Tattooing over scars is not a new thing to us and pictured above is an outstanding example of the same. This Zip tattoo looks to be one of the coolest ways to hide a scar that you hate to look at. The tattoo is in the form of a zip that’s half open and it appears that you can zip it up or down to hide or reveal the scar.

Snakes are cool tattoo designs and a combination of cobra with roses and a portrait of a woman is WOW! It’s the colorful and creative fusion that makes this sleeve tattoo a real eye-catcher. This heavy ink coverage tattoo has been done on the whole arm and shoulder. Such creative tattoos, inked with the bright colors, are quite a rage among tattoo freaks.

A perfect blend of colors and design, this butterfly tattoo is beautiful, engrossing and divine. Flowers signify beauty and tenderness, whereas butterflies give a very bubbly and energetic sense. So, to have a gorgeous and feminine tattoo, this is a perfect take for all tattoo freaks.

As the end of National Poetry Month approaches, I find myself in an enviable position: too many poets’ tattoos, too few days. So, I’ve decided to “double up” and make today a “Two for Tattoosday”. I have also realized that this Tattooed Poets Series will have to continue, in one form or another, above and beyond National Poetry Month. Stay tuned for more details.
In the mean time, Meredith Sugarman, a poet from Brooklyn, sent in the following photo:
I know, I know, you can’t see the whole piece in that shot, but it’s pretty cool, and you can get some detail on the sparrow. Here’s a more traditional shot:
Meredith explains:
“I happen to love tattoos as a intimately personal expression of ourselves…
[This] … is an interpretation of a Russian prison tattoo that families and lovers got when they were separated by prisons and Stalin’s concentration camps. The tattoo is a traditional pair of swallows holding a three-piece banner with the Russian acronyms:
tomsk (a city in Russia); vino (wine); omyt (whirlpool). The acronyms stand for: you alone have my heart; come back and stay forever; it is hard to leave me.
Alex McWatt at Three Kings Tattoo did an amazing job at putting all the elements together. I decided to get this tattoo after losing most of my family members, but mainly after my mother, who is a drug addict, disappeared from my life 5 years ago.”
Meredith also submitted a poem about her mother that she composed after seeing a prison mugshot of her a couple of years ago. That poem is posted here on BillyBlog.
Alex McWatt has had work appearing before on Tattoosday, here.

Tattoos are often related with fashion, external pomp and show, with little emphasis on values (moral), an elementary threshold required to churn a human to understand humanity. But, this is not the case with the one above, as it has Dr.Seuss inspirational quote inked that not only motivates oneself but also those who read it.

Every tattoo tells a story and the one pictured above is no different. It’s a painful experience when someone close to us passes away, but we can always do something to memorialize cremated loved ones in an inimitable way. Damien Barber has just done that by imprinting a unique dragon tattoo for expressing a tribute in the loving memory of his brother Mark who also had an oriental dragon inked on his back. Memorial tattoos are a great way to express your love to those who were always dear to you.
