Well, Everybody Says Kids Grow Up Fast Nowadays…
Posted by admin
We’ve all done some pretty stupid things in our lives. Hell, some of us have even immortalized our stupidity by tattooing what later turned out to be a reminder of our poor judgment somewhere on our body. The names of what eventually became ex-lovers, designs that through an alcohol induced haze seemed like a good idea at the time, and other examples abound of tattoos that never should have been.
So imagine the surprise of some parents of a bunch of very young kids in Jacksonville, Texas, when the children started turning up with tattoos. Not the temporary kind you find wrapped around bubble gum, but the real deal.

Oh What A Website!

Found this great site today called Deviant Nation. Please keep in mind that this site is probably NSFW (Not Safe For Work) and is geared around the erotica of Inked Flesh. This is a membership driven website complete with a tremendously active community and beautiful women with fantastic tattoos. It’s worth at least a 1 month subscription just to try to get through all the content and community features that they have.
If you love tattoos I would encourage you to check out the Deviant Nation website.
Why Do Tattoo Colors Fade?
Posted by admin
One of the biggest problems with permanent pigments is that the best ones are unsafe for use on humans. This leaves the the industry with just a few save alternatives. For the most part, very light fast and permanent colors are used. But this is not always the case. When it comes to yellow, purple, orange or magenta, the fade resistance is still not very high. The most common reason for fading colors is Ultraviolet Light, especially the light from the sun.
This does not mean once you get a tattoo you have to stay out of the sun forever. It’s just that excessive amounts of sun will fade tattoos. It fades about the same rate your skin degrades when exposing it to the sunlight too much.
Tattoo Design : The Phoenix
Posted by admin
In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird. Said to live for 500, 1461 or for 12594 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises.
So I’ve recently become re-interested in the Phoenix and the mythology behind it and have started looking for a tat that I like. Looks like it may be a longer search than I expected. Below are some of the tattoos or designs that have caught my eye in my initial search.
