Although I’m not into most reality TV shows, The Osbournes was one that I looked forward to every week. Watching Ozzy shuffling and mumbling though family life with Sharon and the kids every week was my idea of entertainment. His kids kept the show interesting and I can still recall when Kelly divulged her first tattoo to her parents.
Well, now Kelly has grown up and has transformed into a “sophisticated” adult who is now planning on removing all of her 15 tattoos. Tattoo removal cost is high no matter what method you choose but lasering off 15 tattoos would probably carry the price tag of a new car.
I thought these attractive paper doll designs were worth a mention. It’s titled “The Tattoo Sampler” and it’s made by Temporary I.D. Paper Dolls – this is the magnetic version. So these are much more durable and meant to be played with.
The set is sold with 4 tattoo looks – Japanese style, American, Botanical, and Nautical. It comes with a doll named Bare Betty. continue reading
I’m going to give a shout out to an ex business associate and all around nice person who runs one of the best online tattoo clothing stores to be found on the internet. Too Fast Clothing is owned and operated by Maureen a former resident of Albuquerque. She has since moved her family and company to the Jersey Shore. The site and the product offerings keep getting better and better. So, even though I haven’t talked to her in awhile, I’m guessing things are going well. She sells baby clothes (like the onesie pictured here), items for the house but mostly tattoo clothes for adults. She’s been in the business for many years and is a good person to do business with. Visit her store – here.
Some weeks it’s hard to find new and fresh topics to blog about – I think of it as Blogger’s block and then there are the weeks where you find a gem like this and you can’t wait to get that post written. This is one of those types. The talented young team working at Julian Murray Photography and Design from Las Vegas has some offbeat projects. (Tattoos & Tentacles from Julian Murray on Vimeo.) They work in primarily the music, advertising, and fashion industries. One of the projects they’ve been working on this past year and plan to continue expanding upon is called the Tattoos and Tentacles Series. Check out the video – gives you an idea of the photo shoots. It features heavily tattooed people posing with a sea creature with tentacles. It looks like an octopus. continue reading
First let me say – I’ve never golfed. Had the opportunity on a Disney vacation but there was a dress requirement – polo shirt – just don’t own one of those and I refused to buy “special clothes” to meet the dress requirements. Well, if dressing in routine golfing gear has turned you off in the past, there is now an answer. This online store called Tattoo Golf deals exclusively in cool tattoo golf gear. They have tattoo-inspired designs on everything from shirts to cool accessories for you to wear while you’re whacking your balls. continue reading
I’ve had other posts about Mike Devries and I’ll admit he is one of my favorite well known tattoo artists. I was just beefing up his page on my tattoo artist’s site, and discovered a resource for all the extra projects Devries is involved in. Reflected Art is the name and it only came about last year. The project is actually a partnership between Devries and John Pyles, also known as Terminator John. Terminator John is a passionate tattoo collector and the two of them brought together their different perspectives and their love of body art to offer a nice selection of related items. continue reading
