Femalish Creature

Rule nr 1. before you get a tat (either in prison, tattoo parlour, or from a weird exhibitonist who steals your cutlery while you sleep) , make sure that he or she can draw better than a preschooler.

Autoportrait

It isn't the worst tat in this collection but the fact that someone tattoos himself his/hers face among some waves and balls is just horrible (or is it Mr. Spock ? That's my second hypothesis ).

"Why ?" Heart

Probably it was supposed to be a deep philosophical tattoo, which cannot be understood sober. Instead we have  a shitty one.

The cliché stew

Chinese Tattoo

The art of tattooing in China actually dates back much farther then its in the West. Until very late in the 20th century and mainly in the early 21st century, tattooing becomes fashion in the West. The art of tattooing has a long history in Asian including China, Japan, and even Thailand. What are ironic about these are Chinese tattoos were mostly used in many of the Asian cultures to mark criminals and other social deviants. However in Asia since tattooing was done in criminals and social deviants most designs were very large and often full body pieces especially in Japan. These often are very expensive designs and time consuming and also led many western tattoo enthusiasts to opt for Chinese tattoos.

Regardless of the Chinese tattoos have been widely adopted into the western tattoo lexicon, the mystique and foreignness of an Chinese tattoo and the beauty of Chinese and Japanese writing have really sparked a lot of interest among western tattoo enthusiasts. There are many beautiful Chinese designs well to tattooing. Recently there has been a huge rise in these fields of tattooing. With popular TV shows like Miami Heat in LA Inc. being broadcast on national TV, more and more people are getting tattoos. The particular fascination for many is Chinese tattoo symbols and designs. The beautiful script used in Chinese tattoos led itself well to creating mysterious and ancient looking tattoos. It is not easily discernible by the average Westerner. Therefore, when you consider getting a Chinese or Japanese tattoo, you are well advised to check their overall design especially the writing with a native speaker of the language. It is because here are many incidents where a person is purchased a flash tattoo at a tattoo shop thinking that it meant one thing later find out that that's a totally different.

There are a wide variety of beautiful Chinese tattoo designs throughout Asian cultures. The most common Chinese tattoos are often the representative of important values, such as a simple word that represents themes like love, strength, and power. For those who wish to embellish their tattoo with smaller themes designs they can easily accompany Chinese Japanese writing a script. Men will get Tiger, lion, or dragon to accompany the Chinese tattoo design. On the other hand, women will tend to opt for more delicate designs such as the cherry blossom, yin yang symbol, or a koi fish design. Another common tattoo among western tattoo enthusiasts is to seek a translation of something important in the Chinese. It is very common to get the names of their children translated into Chinese and the tech to them on their shoulders arms or back.

Rude Girl

Yep, the tampon theme is alive and kicking, accompanied by a gorgeous "rude girl" skull. 

P.S. Since when do skulls have lips and eye lashes  ? And do I see a band-aid there ? 

Valentine's Day Bonus

Horribly true.
