Flash Your Tattoo

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.

Body art can be used to describe tattoos as well as many other types of body art.  Temporary but elaborate paintings are very popular and are often part of art shows here and in other countries.  It’s becoming more respected as an art form.  It’s just sad to think they are basically temporary art that will washed (more likely scrubbed) off the skin of these models.  (continue reading…)

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…)

Kreepy – not sure how that name came about but it’s the only one this famous pinup model goes by.  Kreepy Lourdes.

Kreepy Lourdes began her professional career as a pin-up tattoo model but was collecting ink well before thoughts of a modeling career crossed her mind.  Kreepy says switching careers came as a natural since learning the craft has been a passion of hers.  Kreepy is into “Old School” style when it comes to all aspects of her being.  You will feel as if you’ve been whisked back to the 1940’s when you walk into her place of business.   (continue reading…)

Nina Kate is a savy young tattoo and fetish model from London that knows how to promote herself and distance herself from the other models trying to make it in this growing field. I mean the girl is only 24 years old and she has a solid web site and recently had an extensive interview in Skin Deep Magazine.   Her look varys from shoot to shoot and photograph to photograph to the point that you don’t realize it’s the same model.  (continue reading…)

Amina Munster is a talented, beautiful, punk style, tattooed alternative model. The alternative part is a reference to her limb loss which in this picture is decorated with a dagger tattoo. Tattoo models have been more in demand as the popularity of tattoos has spilled into mainstream.  Advertising is now looking at the appeals and beauty of tattoos rather than considering them tabu in ads.
