Angel


This truly bizarre interpretation of an angel is strangely sexy in a dark sort of way. Maybe, this is an interpretation of a fallen angel, which would make more sense.

Multiple Personality


This is one cleverly creepy tattoo! This may be a warning that multiple personalities are presently hidden inside this beautiful young lady’s dark side.
Devil’s Pet Koi

Koi fish are beautiful creatures, but with the presence of a devil tells me that this story is deeper and darker than is known.
Biker Babes

Bikes and babes naturally go together like peanut butter and jelly. This story tells me the past and present of a knight’s conquests of two beautiful princesses. After the princesses found out about each other; one got the castle and the other got the bike; they both got the shovel and the knight got the grave.
Beautiful Bodied Beauty


Ancient Chinese secret says “Beauty isn’t just skin deep with this geisha rose”. The sensual geisha desires a rose from her lover, and then her dreaming is just beginning.
Night Vision


This magical night vision is hauntingly beautiful as the dream master guides a wandering wealth of souls from past to future; and from wilderness to wonderland. It is the story that it is telling me, so what does it tell you?
Koi Tank Cracked


This is a beautiful depiction of a Japanese Koi fish swimming for its life (subliminal message), because the fish tank is cracked.
Springtime Asia


This profoundly beautiful scene tells an equally beautiful story of a young Asian woman enjoying a magical garden as she ponders the mysteries of your new lover. At least this is what the story tells me.
OH, Brother – Mario!


This story is pretty straight forward and most especially my personal favorite. Mario Brothers is the best video game ever made in my opinion. This tattoo reminds me of the Nintendo NES 64 Mario game, which took me and a few friends about two months to figure out and beat. It took another two and half months to collect all 120 stars to unlock the secret character and receive a reward of 99 lives.
Close Encounters of the Weird Kind

Wonder if this guy believes in UFOs and little green aliens? Actually, this full body tattoo is pretty cool. Either he is a real believer in aliens or he is an alien trying to blend in the American west coast culture.

Full Body Chinese Tattoos

Chinese tattoos are one of the oldest forms of body art. Reaching as far back as 3,000 years B.C., Chinese symbols have become one of the hottest trends in today’s world of ink. From ancient tribes and Mongolians to today’s parlors that dot the UK, USA and Europe, Chinese tats are probably the most widely used and appreciated in the world.

Chinese Tattoos in American Youth
Chinese back pieces, sleeves and leg sleeves have swept across the United States with an unparalleled fierceness. Today’s young professional will don a pair of Chinese sleeves or large Japanese tattoos with no hesitation. In fact, many magazines and editorials have joked that the Chinese full body tattoo is the “power suit” of generations X and Y. From a small kanji on the shoulder of a college sorority girl to full body tattoos on thirty-somethings in the corporate arena, Chinese style tattoos are not a small trend like other genres of tattoo art. Chinese body art has longevity in today’s Western culture perhaps because it has been so long celebrated in the East.
