For centuries, the tattoo industry has been dominated by men - for both the pitcher and the catcher, if you will. Body art has certainly undergone a modern renaissance, and some of the best tattoo artists in the world are now women. And many a tattoo collector attest that there is nothing sexier than having an incredible female artist penetrate your skin with her ink stick.
The following 25 women, in no particular order, are some of the most …

It’s commonly known that getting a tattoo hurts. Your skin is being pricked repeatedly with a needle, and you’re not allowed to move. That alone is enough for some to consider getting a tattoo as tantamount to torture. For others with a considerably high-level of pain tolerance, the deed may just be a simple discomfort.
Though the level of pain depends on the individual pain threshold, there are specific areas of the body where getting a tattoo proves to be incredibly …

These days, everyone and their mother is getting tattooed. From high school dropouts to yuppyrific Ivy Leaguers, tattoos have become somewhat of a mainstream social accessory.
Largely due to this surge in skin-art, the overall criticism of tattoos in general has shifted to the categorization and often stereotypical judgment surrounding the placement of a tattoo. It’s not just about getting a tattoo anymore, but rather where you put it.
It has been said that the placement …

Outgrowing a tattoo: When your body art no longer fits your skin.
“That’s gonna look hot,” my girlfriend smiled as she sat with me in a San Diego tattoo parlor.
Devon, my tattoo artist, lifted the spirit paper that transferred a black tribal tattoo outlining my belly button. “Just lay back.”

Tat(who?) — The infiltration and absorption of body ink amongst SoCal socialites.
Everyone has them. Hell, even my own mother’s gotten inked twice in the past two years, and she doesn’t even own a cell phone. Point being, tattoos have rapidly ascended the social ladder from taboo to typical, and nary a scantily clad male or female crosses one’s path these days without some form of body art adorning their frame.
Of course, whether said décor is appealing to …

Growing up, throughout my Catholic high school days I spent every day making sure my socks carefully covered my ankle, so no one would see my tattoo. Luckily my uniform covered my upper left arm, as well as my upper back so I didn’t have to worry about covering up the tattoos in those areas. But I spent every day pulling my socks up extra high so that the priests wandering the halls wouldn’t detect my hidden treasure.
Once …

The makers of Wrecking Balm boast of their magical product: a cream that causes your tattoo to fade away. The process requires a system of physical tissue deconstruction along with the cream as well as botanical chemical peels.
However, the main factors one must consider before jumping on the bandwagon are the ink density, depth, surface size, and color of the tattoo. In order to be successful with the Wrecking Ball cream, you must use it consistently for weeks …
