celebrity

Celebrity tattoos really have 2 meanings.  On one hand, you have celebrities with tattoos.  This group is growing all the time and celebrities are more than proud to show off their tattoos when being photographed.  There are websites focused on this subject as well as at least one book has been published featuring celebrity tattoos.  This has a positive influence for the tattoo industry.  Fans of celebrities tend to mimic them.  They admire them so it makes since. If it’s OK and safe for their heroes to get tattoos , then tattoos are A OK for them.  Hell, some fans probably admire some of these people so much they may even get the same tattoo as the person they admire.

Then we have the other side of the coin.  Everyday people getting ink that will be a constant reminder of celebrities they admire.  Celebrities that hold a special place for them.  I can’t say I have that much affection or respect for any celebrity but to each his own.

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.

You may not have known his name but you’ll know the face. Liev Schreiber has starred in many roles in television and movies. One of his most recent and more popular roles was as Sabertooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. His background is very unusual. Once his parents divorced when he was 5 years old, him and his mom moved to New York City. She drove cab to support them but they lived in abandoned buildings. She never let him see color movies. Only the old black and white flicks. Anyway, he wasn’t into tattoos until recently when he had a vivid dream about a specific tattoo design. continue reading

I recently became a member of PETA. I felt I had to do more than yap about animal abuse and how much it upset me. They make some amazing strides in keeping businesses and people accountable for how animals are treated. But the task seems gigantic so any help individuals can offer helps the cause. Recently, PETA has had impressive campaigns to promote the ethical treatment of animals including “Ink No Mink”. Celebrities are stripping out of their clothes and being tastefully photographed with a couple of accessories and in all their tattoo glory. continue reading

Don’t we ever learn – how much has it been preached about avoiding getting a lovers name tattooed on our bodies?  It’s one of the top five tattoos NOT to get.  Some tattoo artists even go so far as to refuse to do this type of tattoo.  Why?  Because they see the regrets from customers coming back for cover ups or clients spending mucho money on tattoo removal once the love has left the building.  Even though the economy has been running in slow motion, tattoos as well as tattoo removal has not slowed down a bit.  And here is a staggering statistic – about 20% of those who get a tattoo will eventually want it removed. continue reading

amyAlthough I’ve lost interest in her music – since I haven’t heard much for the last couple years – yeah that may be it, Amy Winehouse still manages to show up in the news here and there and she’s like a car wreck.  You just can’t help but look and pay attention.  Maybe she’s turned the corner and 2010 will prove to be a comeback year for her.  She recently emerged from a stint in rehab and also finished up with her divorce of the lowlife she was with.  She’s one of my favorite tattooed celebrities, although I’m not a fan of her violent episodes.  continue reading
