Sexy and Cute Tattoo Designs For Girls

Are you looking for sexy and cute tattoo designs for girls? You come to the right location because we have some of the best ideas to think about when trying to turn on the opposite sex! Imagine if you will having that perfect little sexy tattoo that will only add to your spontaneous cuteness and drive the guys wild! This is the reason why you want a sexy and cute tattoo design for cuteness- options right? Sexy and cute tattoos do not have to be rooted in outlandish secularism! By no means should they speak anything about your character only add to the aesthetic beauty and cuteness factor that you are trying so hard to emulate.

We can start off with describing some of the cutest areas for tattoos on a curvy-woman. The ankle tattoos are red-hot and are highly recommended since these are also easy to conceal in a business work environment setting. Many of the best ankle tattoo designs are of course smallish in nature but are big and hard in design options. There can be a map or the State that has the most memories held for the little girl's heart. Another choice could be a unicorn or even some other mythical creature such as flying hearts or even lightning bolt's!

As long as the tattooed area is the ankles then what is placed upon that angelic location is of little regard. This is what's interesting about people who think the ankle tattoos are sexy because of what the tattoo symbolizes. If that was the case then only the wearer and a few select people who perceived to agree that object are saying to be sexy and cute would see that the 'turn on button' would be on full alert!

Aside from the ankles for great tattoo designs locations there is also the wrist and the all-important stomach region. There are not too many men in this world that do not feel that a shapely woman's stomach area with a heart or even a ball and chain does not screen sexuality. Trust this guy it does and dependent upon the woman and the tastefulness of the tattoo can be an open and discussion able topic that can break the ice almost instantaneously. Once more, let's make certain that politeness and honor are respected here and especially when in the presence of a woman you do not even know.

The wrist area is one that has been a hot debate recently since it is extremely difficult to conceal this tattoo when in a business or other important to be formal setting. You can have so many other sexier and cuter areas of the body where you can have a tattoo done. In order to keep the cuteness factor in line it is nice to select a tattoo that speaks of your thoughts and beliefs. A great example for a sexy tattoo is a lioness with a cub or maybe even my name stenciled across the woman's stomach, Ronnie's!

Introducing...Dirtbird!

Occasionally in my wanderings, I will meet not just tattooed people, but tattoo practitioners, and often those visiting from outside of New York City.

So it was no surprise, when I approached a gentleman across the street from where I work, at 31st and 7th, to learn that I was talking to an artist.

Working out of Punkteur Tattoos & Piercing in Joplin, Missouri, Derek "Dirtbird" Wieberg estimates he has 130-150 hours of work inked on his personal canvas.

With so much to choose from, he offered up this piece, on the right side of his neck:

It seemed fitting, considering his name.

Dirtbird praised the artist, Rick Pierceall at Karma Tattoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has done all of his throat work.

Considering it is Two-for-Tattoosday, I'll share this photo as well:

That's not Dirtbird, but it's his handiwork! The owner of this tattoo is Shawn, who had the good fortune to be inked by Dirtbird. They collaborated on the design together.

Thanks to Dirt Bird and Shawn for sharing their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Tune in tomorrow to see a tattoo from Katie, aka Mrs. Dirtbird!

Ride the Cyclone!

In college we had a game room at the Student Union.

I claimed to be a master at Arkanoid, but would occasionally play pinball. Earthshaker was fun, but there was another, carnival-themed game that would often beckon, "Ride the Cyclone!" It was, naturally, called The Cyclone.

Fast forward ten years and I would be residing in Brooklyn, home to Coney Island and the original Cyclone.

Despite having been in close proximity a number of times, I've never gone for a ride.

I was reminded of this back in September when I met Matt at the top of the escalator at the Penn Plaza Borders store.

He shared this amazing tattoo:

This is, of course, the Cyclone.

Matt is working on a Coney Island/"Carnie" theme, having lived in Brooklyn most of his adult life. Thus, the Astroland tower behind the Cyclone in the tattoo. Next up: the Wonder Wheel and the Parachute Jump, other Coney Island attractions.

He sent along a photo of the tattoo when it was initially finished:

Matt credits this tattoo to Ping at Village Rock Tattoo in Manhattan.

Thanks to Matt for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Something Girly This Way Comes

I met Nadya one afternoon in the beginning of October in Borders on Penn Plaza.

She shared this tattoo, which covered up a date she had initially inscribed on her arm:

Nadya told me that she wanted something "girly".

What I found most interesting about this tattoo is that when I asked her who the artist was, she told me it was her father. I can't imagine tattooing my own daughter. I would be too nervous!

Thanks to Nadya for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In honor of the holiday, I am sharing this, my newest tattoo, located above my knee on my right thigh:

This was done at Hand of Glory in Brooklyn yesterday as part of the shop's $75 Thanksgiving Tattoo Special and was sponsored by Troll Skin, produced by Skin Actives Scientific.

For those of you just tuning in, check the pre-post here, which includes all the Thanksgiving flash designed for the occasion. I asked readers to vote on which tattoo to get, and this one sneaked out a narrow victory over the traditional Native American profile.

I like this design because it combines a lot of traditional tattoo elements and delivers an image with a sociopolitical subtext. We have the traditional American flag and handshake designs, but the added element of crossed fingers serves as a reminder that, despite apparent good intentions, there was subsequently a historical betrayal of that initial good will.

But that's just one perspective, of course, and the Thanksgiving holiday focuses on the positive in our society. The mere existence of the tattoo reminds me to be thankful, which I alluded to in my original post.

I was fortunate enough to have Brian Faulk as my artist again. He had inked my Friday the 13th tattoo last August, and I appreciate that he works quickly and concisely.

Brian Faulk at Work

It was nice, also, that this design was one of his contributions to the flash sheet, as he was kind enough to embellish slightly on the original design, and it always seems better when an artist is tattooing his or her own design. As for the idea behind it, he was trying to represent graphically a broken treaty. I'm extremely pleased with the end result.

In consideration for their sponsoring this tattoo, I will be exclusively using Skin Active's product, Troll Skin Aftercare over the next two weeks as the tattoo heals. I can already say I am pleased with the aftercare cream because it is a lot less messy than the ointment I am used to using within the first 72 hours after getting a tattoo.

I'll report back then on how their product held up compared to the regiment I've followed in the past.

I want to thank all of the readers who voted for designs, and for everyone who reads and supports the site.

And thanks again to Skin Actives for helping make this tattoo possible, to Brian at Hand of Glory, and to my family, at home in Brooklyn and across the U.S., for their support

Best Tattoo Fonts For the Lettering Design of Your Text Tattoos

Text tattoos are very hot and trendy these days as a lot of tat enthusiasts opt for words, short quotes, meaningful sayings and even lyrics from a poem or song as designs for their ink. Having texts tattooed on one's body is a good alternative as they can convey powerful and strong messages. With an image, one associates it with symbolism; with words, the meanings can be direct and straight to the point.
One primary concern for text tattoos is what fonts or style of lettering to go for. One very popular type is the script fonts which looks like it has personal touch because its similar to calligraphy and actual human handwriting. They are perfect for short and expressive texts. Designs vary from flowing scripts to rounded ends and elegant swirls to light-hearted types.
Old English font is being used by those who wants to have some medieval forms or historical flair to their text tattoos. This font belong to the blackletter family, often referred to as "gothic". It has a distinguished formal look and commonly used in certificates. Famous celebrity with english font tattoos include musicians Tommy Lee Jones and Travis Parker.
Celtic fonts contain Celtic looking alphabet usually rounded or angular. They are great match for tattoo designs with Celtic theme like the armbands or tribal ones. Other styles of fonts used for tattoo are graffiti, gangster, blade, classic roman and even those with added characters like speedy and flame style. Other cool designs which are becoming a favorite are the typewriter style font which are very readable and looks really fresh and preppy.
There are a lot of websites online where one can find free font tattoos so they can preview the design first before going for one. When deciding , one has to make sure that it will match the personality as well as the message being conveyed in the tattoo. Even more importantly, pay attention to correct spellings or grammar within the text of the tattoos.

Tattoo Quotes for Lover

"Live Laugh Love"

What better words to live by than live, laugh and love. Life is precious and meant to be enjoyed. Life is also far too short to waste. Sure there are risks if you chose to live and approach the world with your lighter side by laughing, but it makes the journey much more memorable and rich. If you look for and embrace love and all that comes with it and you look for reasons to be happy and laugh then you are truly living life.

Tattoo Quotes are becoming more and more popular. Having a tattoo that features an inspirational phrase or words that hold special meaning can make that tattoo very personal. Here are my favorite tattoo quotes.

There are many inspirational phrases to choose from when selecting one for a tattoo. But many do not work. A tattoo quote is unique in that it must be short yet still be able to convey a meaningful message. The reason is that the locations where tattoos are usually placed on people do not offer much room.

So given that tattoo words are short there are fewer quotations and uplifting messages to select from. However, if a person is careful and does their due diligence you can find just the right saying for the body art.

Here are a few I find to be very meaningful.

"Wake Your Dream"

Everyone has a dream, if not they should have one. Having a dream gives us something to work towards, something to hope for and provides purpose in what we do. Some people ignore their dream thinking it is not possible to achieve. That can be the worst thing to do. Everyone should pursue their dream.

"For Ever Young"

This is another inspirational tattoo quote that I find very uplifting. Even as we age we can still think young. It is true the body may start to slow down as a person gets older, but that is no reason to give in to aging. Some may say that life is wasted on the youth. But I say that is only of you let it. You are truly only as old as you let yourself. This tattoo saying reminds us to stay active and think young and enjoy life-no matter what is thrown our way.

If you are considering having tattoo quotes instead of a picture for your body art, be sure to think the decision through carefully. The words you have written on your body will be there the rest of your life. Consider carefully where the placement will be located. You want to make sure the decision you make will be one you are still happy with years into the future.

Mari's Prayer, with a Twist of Math

I met Mari in front of Madison Square Garden on a sunny day in October. How could I not stop and ask her about this tattoo?

Mari explained that this is an Ananda prayer, that her friends were meditating on it for a week.

The text, which is attributed to Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, reads:

Make me thy butterfly of eternity.

I burnt my past. I ignored the foreboding seeds of sprouting destiny. I waded through the strewn ashes of past & future fears.

I am the eternal present. I tore to shreds the cocoon of ignorance with the sharpness of my will.

I am thy...butterfly of eternity, sweeping through immeasurable time. The beauty of my nature-wings I spread everywhere, to entertain everything. Suns & stardust are spread on my wings. Behold my beauty! Cut all the silken threads of thy shrouding folly: follow me in my flight to myself.

The butterfly symbolizes transformation, a phase everyone goes through at one point or another in time.

Also among her twenty-two tattoos is this formula at the top of her arm:

Mari explained she loves math and generalized that, with this equation, "you can generate anything in the universe". In theory, at least. Here, it gets a little hazy for me. Part of this tattoo contains "f(z) = z^2 + c" which is described as a complex function. Then there is the part that equates the square root of -1 to the value i. This is a formula for an imaginary number. I'm bowing out here, knowing there's no way I'll be able to explain this part of the tattoo adequately. Readers are welcome to try in the comments section, below.


Mari's work was inked by Kevin at The Tattoo Shop in Lansing, Michigan.

Thanks to Mari for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Julia's Pin-Up

I met Julia briefly in a Hudson News in Penn Station.

The flash of color on her foot caught my eye:

Julia explained that she is a visual artist that likes to do pin-up illustrations. This particular design she wanted to be transformed into a tattoo. She brought it to Morgan Reed at Electric Lotus Tattoo in Boonton, New Jersey, and he made some slight adjustments that resulted in this lovely tattoo.

Work from Electric Lotus has appeared on Tattoosday before. This link will show you what else we have featured from their shop.

Thanks to Julia for sharing her pin-up girl with us here on Tattoosday!

David's Traditional Hands

Last month I met David when I stopped after noticing his neck tattoo. However, it was his hands he offered up to us here at Tattoosday:

David works in construction and is a contractor. He also manages the band, Drew Nugent & the Midnight Society.

He has about thirty-five (35) hours of work done on his body, and he explained that these are traditional pieces on his hands.

He was inspired to have his knuckles read "True Blue" as they speak to his belief that our country has lost its values that need to be regained. Key among these values are loyalty and honor, in the traditional, "true blue" sense of the words.

To him, the panther represents that we need to fight to regain these ideals.

And the two roses represent the ideal (the healthy, red flower on the right hand) and what he called the "diminished," (on the left) that is, where we're headed with our loss of values.

David embraced these traditional elements because he feels that "the only way to have a future is to look at the past".

He had the panther done at a tattoo convention. The roses and "TRUE BLUE" knuckles are credited to Rick Meggison at Marked 4 Life in York, Pennsylvania.

Thanks to David for sharing these very cool hand tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Tribal Tattoo Pictures

Tribal tattoos depict a lot of symbols and are deeply rooted in history. In some instances they represent cultural expressions of spirits, blessings and status. Others could also mean protection and the relationship of earth to the cycle of life. Considered as one of the first tattoos imprinted by accident, they were first used by primitives by playing around with fire. Perhaps it started when someone got poked with a burnt or charred stick and realized this left a permanent mark upon the body.

It has also been said that the very first tribal tattoo pictures were of the sun or flames in honor of the sun god. These tattoos were actually believed by people to be a symbol and instrument that would foster a closer relationship to god.

Tribal tattoo pictures possess three unique characteristics that made them be considered as a form of art. That is pain, permanence and blood. As a form of art, tribal tattoos cover amazing array of designs and is in fact the most common of tattoo designs. These pictures actually depict native and aboriginal cultures of the past, as well as the up to date graphic designs.

As the name says, they were used to identify tribes, clans and families. It is not only used as an identification of an individual but it was believed that tattoos would allow someone to find his tribe and rejoin with it again in the afterlife. At present, we may not have tribes to identify ourselves with but there are the contemporary forms of tribal groups such as fraternal gangs, and other organizations that make use of designed tattoos.

There are different kinds of tribal tattoo pictures; a Maori tattoo is done with the use of chisels and was considered sacred. It is also a long and painful process. Maori tattoos signify the celebration of life's important events. It represents courage and strength as well; these tribal tattoo designs consist mainly of distinctive curved shapes and spirals.

There are also a kind of tattoo that uses a fine tooth combed out of a hippopotamus tusk, which is called moli. It is a native Hawaiian tattoo that like any others, offers personal identification. It also signifies protection and a representation of mourning as compared to other pictures that are plainly body adornments. Another form is the Polynesian type. In contrast to others, Polynesian tattoos are based on traditions, social and religious values, tribe rituals and tribal ancestors.

Two for Tattuesday Saturday: Wanderful Love Under the Cherry Blossoms

In honor of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) , we're sharing this tattoo, which I spotted back in September:

This belongs to Rich, a musician and rap artist. He's a big Harry Potter fan, as exemplified by the magic wand. The snake at the base of the wand not only symbolizes infinity, it is a nod to Severus Snape, a character associated with the House of Slytherin, of which the serpent is the mascot.

The concept of the tattoo is exemplified by the music coming out of the wand, illustrating that sounds can be magical and that Rich is under music's spell.

The piece was inked by Chris at Lady Luck Tattoo Studio in Montville, Connecticut.

When I met Rich, he was sitting with his girlfriend in Penn Station. She introduced herself as Kytti, and asked if I wanted to see her tattoo.

But of course!

She actually has two tattoos, but lifted up her shirt to show me this beautiful design:

Kytti explained that this represents her and Rich together in Japan. They've been together for over a year and they'd both love to go there together and experience the culture. The tree is filled with cherry blossoms, a flower often associated with Japan.

Chris at Lady Luck also was the artist behind this tattoo.

Thanks to Rich and Kytti for sharing their magical and romantic tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Tribal Face Tattoo In Progress

Image name: Tribal Face and Head In Progress

Comments: This facial and head tattoo began with chin work, then sideburns and is now continuing to include the entire head. Only the blackwork is done by Calypso Tattoo.

Traditional Japane Dragon Tattoo Full Colour

This dragon has its mouth closed, in a less aggressive stance. It also clutches in one of his claws an object that is variously shown as a ball, a pearl, or a jewel. This item is essentially the closed-lotus form seen in various Buddhist designs including temples and grave markers. It represents the spiritual essence of the universe, by which the dragon controls the winds, rains, and even the movement of the planets, and he protects it from those who might usurp those powers.

The Great Thanksgiving Tattoo Event!

Loyal readers may remember this past August when I called on fans of Tattoosday to choose (and generously bankroll) Friday the 13th tattoos for Melanie and me. If not, relive it here.

Well, a recent email from the good people at Skin Actives Scientific got me thinking. They asked if I wouldn't mind receiving some samples of their Troll Skin Aftercare products and talking about them here on Tattoosday.

I thought, what better way to promote something but to actually use it? The problem was, I had no immediate plans on getting a new tattoo. But then it hit me, as the good people at Hand of Glory Tattoo, who inked our Friday the 13th tattoos, announced that, starting today, through the end of next week, they have another tattoo special, in honor of Thanksgiving!

So we connected the dots and put our heads together to announce the following:

Behold the flash for the Hand of Glory Thanksgiving specials:

Now, dear readers, what tattoo should I get?

Send your first, second and third choices to Tattoosday@gmail.com. Every email (one per person please) will enter a reader into a random drawing for Troll Skin samples. Plus you'll have the pleasure of knowing you had a hand in deciding how I will be permanently honoring this most thankful of holidays.

You have until Wednesday at 9:00 AM (EST) to vote and when you wake up on Turkey Day, you can tune into Tattoosday to see which tattoo won and who will get Troll Skin samples!

Then, in a couple of weeks, you'll hear back from me about how the tattoo healed and what I think about the product.

And before some of you start scratching your heads about why I would indiscriminately get a tattoo just for the heck of it, I would remind you it is Thanksgiving, and what better to have on the human tapestry, than a reminder that we should always be thankful for the important things in life. I have a lot to be thankful for, above and beyond my awesome wife, Melanie, my kids, and my family and friends.

I am thankful for you, the Tattoosday contributors, fans and readers, for inspiring me with your stories and supporting me with your comments and emails.

And, of course, to the good folks at Skin Actives, for agreeing to support me in this Thanksgiving adventure, a special thanks this holiday season.

Stay tuned and don't forget to vote!

Tom's Homage to His Grandmother's Scottish Ancestry

I met Tom in a drug store in my neck of the woods in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

He has four tattoos and offered to share this one with us:

This piece celebrates his lineage, honoring the family crest from his grandmother's side.

The Scottish part of him is descended from the Clan Fergusson.The clan motto Dulcius ex asperis  means "Sweeter after difficulties".

This was tattooed by Lou at Third Eye Tattoo, in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. Work from Lou and Third Eye that has appeared on Tattoosday can be viewed here.

Thanks to Tom for sharing his family crest with us here on Tattoosday!
