Not everyone is brave enough to get a real tattoo on their hand and even though this was done in sharpie, we’ll let that slide because this is one badass tribal hand tattoo design.

Kat Von D's Hot Collabos

Kat Von D's Hot Collabos
Mexican tattoo artist and reality TV star Kat Von D loves the Spanish language so much that all of the words tattooed on her body (except for names) are printed en espaƱol. And she’s extended that love to her successful cosmetics collaboration with Sephora, naming several of her products—like her mocha-colored Painted Love Lipstick in Mi Vida Loca ($18)—in Spanish. Her latest offerings include the Angeleno Train Case ($150), a major cosmetics carryall. “I did all the drawings on the outside and wanted the inside to be bright red, like my car,” Von D says.
But the newest stars to her collection are her first fragrances, tellingly named Saint and Sinner. The self-proclaimed “hopeless romantic” not only helped create the scents, but also designed the rocker-chic bottles. Saint, held in an angelic white bottle, is a sweet elixir with notes of mandarin and caramel. Sinner is spicier, infused with cinnamon and patchouli. Both cater to the good and bad girl in us all.

Anime Tattoo Mexican

Anime Tattoo Mexican
Anime Tattoo MexicanBeen wondering for a long while what tattoo(s) I'd finally get for myself. I'm the oldest of 8 kids and everyone but the 3 youngest and me don't have a tattoo. My father is loaded with tattoos including a large Bald eagle that covers his entire chest. At first glance at my father and you'd not think he's covered with tats.

Anyways, I've always thought of Kanji writing as my younger brother has on the back of his neck but I've also of course thought of full anime tattoos. With the blessing of my fiancee, I'd most likely get a moe version of FFVII's Tifa Lockhart and even K-On!'s Mio wouldn't be bad if the tat is done right.

As I continue to ponder what to add, here's some interesting tattoos I found in a quick browse on the internets. Oh, and the title picture above is from yesterday's Anime Pic of the Day, can't get enough of that work by Muuten.

Comments: This tattoo was done in black and red pointillism on fellow tattooist DC Wallin. DC wanted skulls with a large abstract eye in the middle all done in dots.
