Hayden Panettiere Doesn't Mind a Misspelled Tattoo

Baby Was Misspelled
One of the worst possible things that can happen to someone who is receiving a text tattoo is that the tattoo accidentally gets misspelled. This actually happens a lot more often than one would think. This is why it is so very important that you make sure you have the correct spelling of the tattoo and that your tattoo artist is aware of how to spell the word or words. When they put the tattoo transfer paper on you and ask if this is ok, this is when you do a mental spell check to make sure they have it spelled correctly. If they don't spell it correctly, this it the perfect time to speak up and let them know.

This mostly happens with tattoos that are done in a different language. So if you are dead set on getting a text tattoo in a different language make darn sure you have got the correct spelling. This is something that Hero's hottie, Hayden Panettiere did not do. Hayden has a tattoo doing down her side that reads "Vivere senza rimipiantic" which is suppose translate to live without regret in Italian. However the tattoo was misspelled so it really means nothing. Hayden has admitted that its no sweat off her back because she can't really see her tattoo, so it's not like she has to look at it all the time and be reminded of it. She also said she would more than likely get it fixed at some point in time. She brushes the misspelling off as putting her own spin on it. This is a great way to think, also unless someone knows Italian they will never know.

Misspelled Tattoos Happen More Than You

Card of  Misspelled Tattoos
One of the worst things that could happen to a person getting a tattoo is realizing that afterward the tattoo is misspelled. Nine time out of ten there is nothing that can be done to fix that tattoo, so you end up having to live with it or you have to choice of trying to cover it up. This is why it is so important to follow the spell check rule before getting a tattoo. First make sure you know the correct spelling and as silly as it sounds make sure your tattoo artist know the correct spelling. But following these simply steps it should ensure that you will not receive a misspelled tattoo.

However, it will more than likely turn into a nice conversation piece and you will probably learn to laugh about it later in life. Well it seems that regular people are not immune the the misspelled tattoo fortune. Many high profile celebrities have fallen victim to this as well.

Hero's star Hayden Panettiere has recently been showing off a new tattoo that is on her side. It reads "vivere senza rimipianti" which is Italian for "to live with no regrets" well the sad thing is rimipianti was spelled with an extra "i". It is probably a safe bet that she does regret that. Also mega hot soccer star, David Beckham has a misspelled tattoo of his wife's name. What David wanted was Victoria" in Sanskrit What He Got was something totally different. He got "Vihctoria" in Sanskrit. Pop star Britney Spears wanted the Chines character for "Mysterious", what she got was the Chinese character Strange". Lastly, Rihanna wanted "Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression and Control" in Sanskrit and she got "Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression and Control" misspelled in Sanskrit.

Word to the wise especially if you are getting a tattoo in another language make darn sure that what you are getting is spelled right some goes with an English word.

Misspelled Tattoos for Men

Misspelled Tattoos for Men
Unfortunately, there are many people out there that have a tattooed misspelled, this awful practice happens more than one may think. The horrible thing about misspelling a tattoo is there is not way to erase it and start over. Once it is misspelled it is going to stay that way forever, not unless there is enough room to correct it or room to cover it up with another tattoo.With this being said it is pretty ironic that tattoo is one of the most misspelled words out there. So if you don't want to be like the many people out there in the world that has a misspelled tattoo follow these next steps and you should be never have this problem.

Most tattoo artist put your tattoo design on a piece of transfer paper that gets applied very similar to a temporary tattoo. Before the tattoo artist puts it on you they ask if everything looks alright and they ask the same after the have applied on you. So before they put this template on you make 100% sure that whatever word or phrases that you are getting tattooed on you is spelled correctly. If you are unsure of a spelling of a word, for heaven sakes look it up. Also after the tattoo artist has applied the transfer paper to your skin check again to make sure everything looks correct before they fire up the tattoo gun and go to town on your skin. It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to a tattoo.

Body Painting Design for Girl

Body Painting Design for Girl
Body painting is one of the most unique kinds of art. People from all over the world paint their bodies to express their thoughts and feelings.

There are certain tips one can follow while painting their body. A certain procedure is followed for painting the body to ensure that the paint looks beautiful and portrays a sharp image.

Before painting the body it is a good idea to wash and dry your body so that the dust particles are removed. This will help in creating a uniform layer of paint. There are several methods for painting your body. Select the one that best suits you for the following: tempra, markers, liquid latex, airbrush makeup, PAX makeup and textile acrylics. Each technique has its own pros and cons. Using markers are safe and they are cheap but it takes a lot of time to paint the body with markers. Also these markers have to be frequently replaced as they finish up quickly. Using tempra is a bad choice as it flakes off when it dries and makes quite a mess. Although it is cheap but when the paint dries up it becomes powdery.

The use of airbrush makeup to paint the body is a very good choice and highly recommended by professional. Unfortunately it is expensive but the quality is wonderful. Painting with the help of airbrush makeup is flexible and provides excellence in the quality of work. Another good choice for painting body is the use of textile acrylics which are cheap, easy to use, good looking and safe to use. All these are the perfect methods for painting the body. Apart from this while painting the body one must keep certain things in mind. Use a sponge if a larger area is to be painted, it is quicker and easier. Visualizing the end result is a good idea as it will help in the perfect painting of the body. Add special effects by using glitter and other shiny cosmetics. Keep a bundle of tissues while painting so as to quickly remove the mistakes while painting and drawing. All these tips can help in painting the body perfectly.

History of Jesus Tattoos on Body

History of Jesus
For a significant portion of the world's population, Jesus Chris of Nazareth is the end-all, be-all when it comes to devoted religious worship. Put succinctly, for these folks, there's no one more important than Jesus. When they want to show their devotion, therefore, one of the most creative and powerful ways they go about it is with a tattoo of the Son of God up on his cross. There are thousands of different variations of the Jesus on the Cross Tattoo design, and here are some pointers to get you started on deciding which is the best for you.

Deciding on Size: Just how devoted to Jesus are you? Some people devote large sections of their body to showing off their Jesus tattoo. Others prefer something a little more discrete, perhaps in a spot that can only be seen when clothing is removed. Decide where you stand, and make your decision accordingly.

Where is the Emphasis: Some people place all of the detailed emphasis on the cross, while others put the majority of the attention on Jesus himself. This is an important distinction to make, and one that requires thought.

Placement of the Cross: One great variation on the standard theme is to place Jesus carrying his cross, rather than posted up to it. This symbolizes something entirely different, and devout Catholics will notice.

A Full Scene: Some people are very attracted to the nativity scene as a symbol. If you're thinking about carrying a Jesus tattoo, why not consider a full image of everyone involved in the crucifixion? Turn your entire back into a living storyboard of Jesus' last moments. This would be one of the most unique tattoos you could get to show off your bond with Christ.

A Halo: You could also put a halo around Jesus' head, to signify the angels that took him up to heaven after he died. Likewise, it's worth considering putting an entire scene in with the angels taking him. The only limit to what will eventually end up as ink on your body are the roadblocks you create in your mind, and of course these can be broken down with effort. If you free yourself to come up with something really great, you'll come away with a timeless design.

Tattoo Lyrics

Tattoo Lyrics
Like tattoos in general word tattoos are becoming increasingly more popular. So what is a word tattoo? They are tattoos that are made up of words, usually a meaningful phrase or quote to the person that is getting the tattoo.

Where can you put a word tattoo? Well you can put them anywhere you want, however some of the more popular places for women to have them are on their ankle, wrist, hip, rib cage and side. For men, the popular places are on their shoulder, forearm, upper back, and rib cage.

Where can I get design ideas or word phrases for my word tattoos? Usually the phrases will be something that is meaningful to the person who is getting inked. A popular example is a tribute to a lost relative or friend. Another place to find a phrase for your tattoo is the Bible. A lot of people like to put a Biblical phrase that is special to them on their body. How about a song lyric? Some people associate song lyrics with a special time or event in their life. You can also use any other type of phrase or "saying" that is important to you.

Another popular type of word phrase tattoo is one that is done in a different language. You get can them in any language you can think of. One of the more popular foreign languages for these tattoos is Chinese. One problem with foreign language tattoos is making sure they are translated from English to the language you are using properly. How would you feel if you found out after you had gotten your tattoo that it doesn't mean what you thought it did? There are some sites on the internet that can help you with the translation. Be very careful!!

Word Tattoos are a really interesting way to express yourself through the art of tattooing. Be creative and have fun!!

Megan's Empress Impresses

I spotted Megan at the end of September walking down West 23rd Street in Chelsea.

She has an amazing sleeve-in-progress but, because it is still unfinished, she offered up this tattoo, on her upper right arm, instead:


This tarot card is significant because her mother is from the Caribbean and she grew up with Santerían religion in her household.

She has a profound respect for tarot cards and based on the time and date of her birth, has what she refers to as a "weird numerology".

This card is known as L'Impératrice,or The Empress, and has a very positive meaning. As interpreted by one site (here):

The Empress seems to be sure of herself, calm, intelligent, worthy. This major arcana represents the capacity, the Empress clothing is luxurious and invaluable.

This arcana is extremely positive...

...In the right position the Empress represents the intelligence, dignity, the authority, the mother, the wife, the right decisions.

The detail in this tattoo is amazing:


The art was inked by Annie Lloyd at Three Kings Tattoo in Brooklyn. Work from Three Kings has appeared previously on Tatoosday here.

Thanks to Megan for sharing this lovely tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Brandice's Family Ink

I met Brandice in Penn Station back in August, as she sat on the stairs by the New Jersey transit terminal. She shared her half-sleeve-in-progress on her right arm.


This is the inside of the arm:


Brandice explained that her work is a tribute to her family. The Confederate Flag is a nod to her family from the South, most of whom come from Virginia.

I had to ask if she had any reservations about inking the flag on her arm, since some people see such a symbol in a negative light. She acknowledged that she took this into consideration, but decided that it is part of her family history, and that when she explains this to people, they understand. She does not wear it to make a statement but, rather, to honor where her family is from.

The "Daddy" is a memorial nod to her father who passed away and the phrase "Family Tradition" reinforces the central theme of the tattoo, and further acknowledges her Southern heritage.This is an allusion to Hank Williams, Jr. and his song (and album) "Family Tradition".


On the second part of the tattoo, the design is filled with additional meaning, with her cousin represented by the skull,


and the skull with the bow represents herself. The banner bearing the initials MLC is a nod to her grandmother. She has used symbols to represent the living and names for those who have passed.

The dogwood flowers in the tattoo have religious meaning as well, in addition to being the state flower and state tree of Virgina. The magnolias are also shout-outs to her southern family heritage.

Brandice has about eight hours of this tattoo done so far, all by Dan Paone at White Lotus Tattoo and Art Gallery in Tom's River in New Jersey.

Thanks to Brandice for sharing her tattoo steeped in family traditions with us here at Tattoosday!

John Shares More Than Just a Fly on the Wall

I met John walking down 7th Avenue in the upper 20s back in the beginning of September.

He has six tattoos, but it was this one, on his left side, that I spotted through the hole cut in the side of his t-shirt:



Fans of the popular British graffiti artist Banksy will recognize this as a tattoo based on his work. Another Banksy-inspired tattoo appeared here on Tattoosday in October of 2009.

Why this design? Aside from the fact that John likes the imagery, he especially likes the dripping effect at the bottom of the piece, as if it was spray-painted on. He also related to the ape's sign that reads "Laugh now but one day we'll be in charge".

The piece was inked at Tattooville in Neptune, New Jersey.

Here's a shot of the original Banksy work:


John offered up, an additional tattoo, as well:


Yes, that's a fly tattooed under his right armpit.

John explained that this was tattooed by an artist under the moniker "Porkchop" at Asbury Park's Parlor Gallery. It was part of an occasional event called "Fly Day Friday".

If that sounds bizarre, it gets even crazier. If you present Pork Chop with an item that was bought for under $5.00, and he finds it valuable, he will trade it for one of his fly tattoos.

John successfully presented an item and got the tattoo in exchange.

"What did you offer?" I asked.

"A Pets.com sock puppet," he replied.


Cool.

Thanks to John for sharing these unusual tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
