When Will Thieves Learn

It is pretty safe to say that there are a lot of thieves out there that are not really that smart. For one they are not smart for robbing and stealing in the first place but a large group of thieves here recently just have not been thinking clearly, which is great for the police. There have been numerous robberies, house invasions and even assaults in the news lately and there is one very important thing these thieves are leaving behind to make catching them a heck of a lot easier. The thieves have some sort of very noticeable tattoo somewhere on their body that they completely forgot to cover up before they committed their crime. If you think about it this is a very stupid move. There really isn't much someone can do to get rid of their tattoo quickly. Laser tattoo removal lasts for months before the tattoo is faintly seen.

Believe it or not but it is rather easy to find someone with a certain tattoo. Police can canvas the area that the crime took place not only that they can visit local tattoo parlors and talk to several people in a certain neighborhood. Having a noticeable distinctive tattoo is noticed a lot more than one may think. A lot of people pay attention to those sorts of things because they more than likely have some sort of negative comment to make about it so it stays in their head longer.

Chances are this kind of thing will continue to happen as long as their are tattoos because certain people just do not think!

Different Reason's To Get Tattoos

One of the great things about getting tattoos is that almost everyone who has them gets them for a different reason. Most people who have tattoos just love the art of the tattoo and simply think they are cool. Some get them to remember a loved one, and others get them to mark a special occasion in their life. Another reason people get tattoos is to help mark a huge accomplishment in their life or to celebrate the birth of a child. Some people get tattoos to chronicle a long journey in their life, while others get them to chronicle a new clean journey in their life like Jackass star Steve-O. It is no secret that Steve-O has battled drug and alcohol addiction for a while now. Now that Steve-O is clean he has decided to mark his new sober life with tattoos. Steve-O's new ink will mark the milestones on his journey to get clean and to stay clean.

Simply put there is no right or wrong answer to the reason for you getting a tattoo. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision and you should never let someone pressure you into getting a tattoo or trying to discourage your from getting one. If your heart is set on getting a tattoo than you should by all means get one. Just make sure you have put some thought into your tattoo design and the location of your tattoo. Tattoos are a great, and more people need to realize this. Just like your mother and teacher's always taught you...never judge a book by its cover. This saying couldn't fit the tattoo community any better.

Tattoo Studios Trying To Be More Upscale

There is no denying that when a lot of people hear the word tattoo or see someone with a tattoo they may not have the nicest of thoughts. When most people think of tattoos negativity is almost always what they affiliate it with. Which if you are educated in tattoos and the tattoo community you will know this couldn't be further from the truth. The majority of people who have tattoos are law abiding citizens, they have never been to jail, they don't have a criminal background and they have good paying jobs. Unfortunately, the few bad apples that are out there that dawn tattoos have created this stigma. Back in the day royalty dawned tattoos and people of affluent backgrounds. But soon the lower class people caught onto the tattoo craze and the royalty soon stopped getting them. This is more than likely the reason why tattoos are associated with bad people.

However, there is a tattoo parlor or tattoo studio as they liked to be called in Las Vegas that is trying to get people to see that tattoo studios are not a bad thing and that they can be upscale. Club Tattoo is nestled in between an art gallery and an upscale cookware store. One of the owner's had this comment to make about them trying so hard to remove the negative stigma from tattoo parlors or studios if you will.

Our goal has been, from the very beginning, to remove the stigma of what people had thought of tattoos and tattoo artists, that they're kind of dirty, tough guys [working on] convicts, bikers [and] military guys overseas," Bennington says. "Our goal has always been to elevate the image of the tattoo industry as a whole."
Club Tattoo is striving to change public perceptions by putting the tattoo artists in its front."

Free Tattoos

One major thing that keeps people from getting tattoos is the money. If you want a good tattoo and you have a pretty descent sized tattoo picked out that has a lot of detail in you. You are looking to pay some big bucks to get the designed inked on you. However, there might be an answer to your prays. There is a tattoo parlor in Omaha that gives free tattoos all day long. The tattoo parlor has done this for nine years in a row and doesn't see any reason to stop. The shop considers it a customer appreciation day. And as you can imagine people start lining up the night before to ensure they have a good spot in line and to make sure they will receive their free tattoo.

Just in case you are wondering there really isn't a big catch to this. In order to receive a free tattoo you have gotten a tattoo from Liquid Courage sometime within the last 12 months. And if you don't fit that bill than you can simply make a donation to a local animal shelter. Your donation can simply be a bag of dog food, some dog bowls, a dog bed or something of that nature. Either which a way you look at it those items cost less than a tattoo.

So if you live in Omaha and love tattoos be sure to mark this on your calendar for next year. And if you don't live in Omaha consider taking a road trip but remember to bring a donation with you.

The Story Of The Tramp Stamp

If you have been living under a rock for the past decade or so you may not know what a tramp stamp is. A tramp stamp is a tattoo located on the lower back of a woman. With nearly 20% of women out in the world having a tramp stamp one starts to think, where did this not so nice term come from. Unfortunately, there really isn't any documentation to who came up with this now popular term. However, if you ponder it for a moment it is a no brainier that a tattoo located on the lower back just above a woman's gluteus maximus is going to being a lot of attention, whether it be considered sexy or vulgar. So rest assured women this term wasn't brought about because women who bare them are more promiscuous than ones who don't have one.

In fact, some tattoo artists think this popular tattoo got so popular when low rise jeans became a huge fashion trend. These low rise jeans gave women the chance to show off their lower back tattoo and be flirty and coy about them at the same time. And in doing so it prompted men to let their other brain get ahead of themselves and presume something that is probably not true. Thus bringing the stereotype that women with lower back tattoos aka tramp stamps are more promiscuous than women that don't have a tattoo there. This is more than likely where the term tramp stamp came from.

So women don't let the term tramp stamp bother you. Embrace it and prove people wrong!

MOM Tattoo Not That Popular Anymore

Perhaps it should be said the traditional tattoo of the word MOM in a heart or on a banner is not popular anymore but getting tattoos to represent your mom is still very popular. Many tattoo artists have commented that they have seen this extremely popular tattoo that has been around for decades fizzle out here lately. However, they are quick to say that, that doesn't mean people are not coming in to get a tattoo to represent the woman that gave them life. In stead people are getting their mother's favorite flowers, a saying she would always say, a portrait of her or even her actually name tattooed on them. For some unknown reason the plan old MOM tattoo doesn't seem to strike people's fancy anymore, but there still are a few men that come in and request the very popular traditional tattoo.

Another trend that tattoo artist are seeing is that particular mother's and daughters will come into the tattoo parlor and get tattoos together, sometimes it will be the same tattoo and other times it will be different tattoos. Either way the bonding that comes along with the just getting a tattoo together can never be broken. So if you are thinking about getting a tattoo to honor your mother think outside the box and think of something that represents your mom, like her favorite flower, animal, saying or anything of that nature. Of course if you are a guy nothing says love like the good old MOM tattoo.

Can Tattoos Help Cause Skin Cancer

People who are against tattoos and have nothing good to say about them are constantly trying to find ways to prove tattoos are bad. The latest bit of news to hit the newsstands is that tattoos may help contribute to some people getting skin cancer. This claim came about when a few people reported some cases of skin cancer in the area of their tattoo. These tattoo haters claim that the metals that are some tattoo inks increases the chances of one getting skin cancer later on down the road.

However, what these people don't realize is the these materials that are in tattoo ink like, cobalt and aluminum are not causing skin cancer. In fact dermatologist have cleared this claim, by making it known that the tattoo ink is unlikely to do any harm because it is confined to cells in the skin called macrophages, whose job is to absorb foreign material. The culprit to the skin cancer was more than likely a mole that a tattoo was tattooed over so the person wasn't able to notice the changes in their mole. So the bottom line is, there is no evidence to prove that tattoos lead to skin cancer. Once again all the tattoo haters are proven wrong. Tattoos are not evil things, they are a right of self expression, just like someones hair color or hair cut. People need to start realizing that just becaue someone may look a little different or dress a little different it doesn't mean they are a bad person. Having tattoos doesn't make you less of a person but if you have something against someone because they have tattoos that does make you less of a person.

Tattoos More Popular Than One May Think

There is no doubt that tattooing has grown in popularity over the last ten years, with more celebrities and other public figures dawning them it makes more people want to get them. However, to some people's surprise the tattooing business hasn't been effected by this horrible economy, they are actually seeing an increase in business. On the flip side of that not only are more people getting tattooed but more people are enduring the painful sessions to get a regrettable tattoos removed. Even more incredible is that tattoos, and tattoo related words are the most search words on the internet beating out the adult market, which is pretty impressive.


So this does bring some sort of hope to the tattoo industry in one way and it also hurts the industry. It's great that more and more people are getting interested in tattoos. The only down fall is that could mean more and more people are not thinking clearly about their tattoo decisions, thus is the reasoning why the laser tattoo removal business is booming right now. Either which a way you think about it the tattoo business is still on a rise and clearly isn't going anywhere anytime soon and the popularly of tattoos doesn't seem to be falling either. However, what certain people need to realize is the tattoo industry and tattoo artist can not be blamed for people's poor decisions when it comes to a tattoo design.
