It seems like everyone has a tattoo these days.......


TaTtoO?

A tattoo is an ink design inserted into the skin, commonly via a needle.A variety of pigments and inks are used in modern tattoo, ranging from traditional black to a wide range of colors. Some of the colors used for tattoo pigment may be toxic, raising concerns about extensive color work.
If you are concerned, ask the artist about what pigments he or she is using and whether any adverse reactions to the inks have been noticed. Many tattoos will also require touchup, as exposure to sunlight and water degrades the inks.

Popular Female Tattoos

Popular female tattoos are quite typical and predictable: flowers, butterflies, fairies, unicorns and sunflower tattoos. The dolphin used to be a very popular tattoo among women, but this cute fish tattoo is subject to trends and fashion and nowadays the dolphin is not that popular anymore. Always popular female tattoos are flowers and butterflies, both colourful and fine designs.

According to many tattoo artists, women are much better at styling their tattoos than men. Women are very sensitive with regard to the design of the tattoo and are very precise when it comes to the placement of the tattoo. Men just pick a tattoo and a spot on their body and for the rest they are quickly satisfied. Women are also said to be able to deal better with the pain of getting tattooed than men. Men are very cool before they get tattooed but as soon as a needle enters their skin it is over with the coolness and they cry like babies or even faint. Women seem to anticipate on the pain and then it is not as bad as when it comes totally unexpected.

What is Female Tattoo?!

Female tattoo is probably best described as a tattoo that is popular for women but not so popular for men to have. Popular female tattoos are quite typical and predictable: flowers, butterflies, fairies, unicorns and sunflower tattoos. Popular parts of the body to tattoo a female tattoo are the lower back, ankles and breasts.

No Ordinary Love (with no ordinary images)

I had never seen this before, and the photographer had no background information. So after reading through the comments on Flickr, someone who lived in the area was able to provide a few more details. And another user found the link to the artist's website.

the gravestone IS amazing...the detail and the pose are both provocative and disturbing at the same time. The way her hair is spread out and her right hand gripping the edge is so incredibly realistic! What a wonderful piece of work.

the gravestone by itself. the perspective of this, along with all the other ordinary gravestones is just amazing. the contrast between the feminine curves and the rectangular edges is so stark and stunning
