Pinup Tattoo

Long legs, high heels, bathing suit, and sun-shiny smile make up a beautiful pinup lady. This image of wholesome sexiness became popular among sailors during the World War II. Photographs of pinup girls were a favorite of the sailors and became part of pop culture during that time. Pinup tattoo came into vogue and sailors had them on their skin as souvenirs or just as an expression of having fun in the middle of the war.

The pinup girls are usually drawn or pictured wearing a short skirt or bathing suit posed against an anchor or in a wine glass. The classic posed pinup girl has come back in the modern age and it has undergone a few improvements to suit the times. There are versions that still look like the nice little lady but there are also newer versions that picture naughty poses.

The pinup ladies of the tattoo world have regained the attention of many men again because of the invention of colored tattoo inks. The old pinup drawings that used to be in black ink now pop out more beautifully in vibrant colors. The new pinup designs are bolder, stronger, and more fun to have. With these new designs, even the women are seen sporting the pinup girls on their bodies too.

Pinup tattoos are best inked on places on the body that are long, skinny, and rectangular - so, they are always placed on the forearm. Other parts may be the thigh or calf. With the new twists on this classic favorite for a tattoo, the new generation will definitely have some more to get confused about when thinking of their next tattoo.

Tattoo Websites

There are lots of ways for you to go about finding the perfect tattoo design for you but the best and most logical way to find your design is to join a tattoos website. With the size and expansiveness of the internet today, there really are tons of different designs that you can find by simply searching through Google images until you stumble across something that makes you say, "Well, yea, I guess I like that one". Then you can take that same tattoo to your nearest parlor and watch your artist grimace when you hand him your design.

Or you can kick off your tattoo lifestyle with a little class and luxury, by joining an elite tattoos website where by paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 you will instantly have a lifetime membership to thousands of the most quality, unique tattoos designs on the entire internet. Not only will the designs found on one of these tattoos websites be better than the ones found by searching randomly on the internet, but they will also be better than anything found in your local tattoo parlor.

Some of the most popular tattoo websites are, Tattoo Me Now, Chopper-Tattoo, and Tattoo My Brain, each one of these websites have thousands of members and for a small onetime fee you can easily become one too.

One of the features that I really like about all of these tattoos websites is that they are all lifetime membership sites; therefore, after you have paid your fee, you will be able to print, bookmark, combine, and flip through the thousands of designs at your own pace until you find something you really fall in love with. Because the process of finding your personal best tattoo design is a process that should not be rushed, you will now have all the time in world, and not just for your first tattoo, but for every one of them after that too!

No matter when you plan on getting your tattoo, and whether you plan on getting a single, or multiple tattoos, you will always be part of a community when you join a tattoos website. Tattoo Me Now, Chopper-Tattoo, and Tattoo My Brain are all good examples of these websites; however, I personally like Tattoo Me Now the most because of its extremely interactive community, which includes tattoo forums, personal picture postings, videos, and more. No matter which tattoo site you choose to join, you will be grateful. Good luck!

Tattoo Inks

Tattoos, once the domain of bikers and other societal outlaws, have become much more acceptable to the mainstream. They can be seen on people from all walks of life, from the cigarette smoking cook at the local greasy spoon to the teen-queen suburban debutante. Tattoo ink has been applied to nearly every type of skin imaginable.

Any reputable tattoo artist will undoubtedly have a wide range of tattoo ink available to their customers. Traditionally, tattoos were created using inks made from ash, dirt or plant material, which resulted in a very limited range of hues that could be applied. However, modern ink can be found in nearly every color of the rainbow, giving tattoo artists and customers a much wider range of options.

Brightly colored tattoo ink is arguably one of the primary reasons for the explosion in the popularity of tattoos. No longer are tattoos relegated to the style common to old sailors and convicts. A talented artist with the right training and access to the right colors can create tattoos that are more akin to fine art. A browsing through any tattoo magazine will reveal a host of beautifully created and colorfully decorated skin art. These designs can range from the most realistic depictions of flowers and butterflies to the grittiest interpretations of Dante's descriptions of hell.

Tattoo Inks

Tattoo ink is also available in some unique hues that can be used to create a truly one of a kind tattoo. White ink, for instance, is a relatively new idea in the tattoo world. A white ink tattoo is ideal for those that want something that is unique, but not obvious. This type of ink is virtually invisible from a distance of more than a few feet, making it idea for those that do not want their tattoos to interfere with work or social circles. Black light ink is also popular for those that are looking for something unique. These inks appear to glow when introduced to black light, creating a rather stunning effect.
