Vampire Tattoos - What Do They Say About You?

Many people are attracted to the darker side of life. Long before Tom Cruise's portrayal of Lestat vampires were seen as suave, sexy, mysterious. Dark yet alluring. It's no surprise that vampire tattoos have grown in popularity in recent years.

Tattoos have been around for thousands of years. Initially they had very specific religious and cultural purposes, often denoting a person's status in the tribe. Nineteenth century royalty often had their coat of arms tattooed upon them. King George V of England, King Frederick IX of Denmark and King Alfonso XIII of Spain were among many monarchs to have themselves tattooed.

More personal tattoos, making an individual statement rather than a political or cultural one, came much later, after the cultural revolution of the sixties. Vampire tattoos speak volumes about the personality of the wearer. They portray themselves as 'creatures of the night' coming alive after the sun has set. They also show that they are aware that beauty can be found in the darker side of life.

There are many different types of design which can count as a vampire tattoo. Maybe you want a sexy vampire chick, draped in a slinky black velvet dress, blood trickling from her voluptuous lips down onto her milk-white neck? Or perhaps you're after a simpler design, a stylistic representation of vampire teeth, the merest hint of the ecstasy and terror that awaits all those who see such a sight close up. You don't have to want to suck blood to get a vampire tattoo but you do have to understand the appeal of these masters of the night.

Small bat tattoo design.

google

This free tattoo design is a very small cute bat on the finger. FYI, if you’re looking to get a tattoo on your foot or hand, and especially your face, you’re probably going to have a difficult time finding an artist to do it. There are two reasons:
1. These highly visible tattoo designs like hand and facial decorations can cause the wearer to become the subject of ridicule or impede their chances of finding employment.
2. Your hands and feet are the two parts of your body that come under the greatest amount of physical “abuse” as a result of normal everyday life. This makes maintaining the quality of a tattoo in these areas very difficult.

"Virtue Thrives Under Oppression" This piece was inspired by my family motto. I started by stretching the canvas over 12in stretcher bars. Next I used a handcut, multi-layer stencil to spray the repeating background image. The original picture was taken from an old romance comic book. After drawing the swallow design I used applique to fill large areas and embroidery to finish it. www.smacart.etsy.com www.myspace.com/smacart

tattoo bushido art
Bushidō es un término que proviene del idioma japonés, que se puede traducir como “el camino del guerrero”. Se trata de un estricto código de ética y conducta que regía a la casta Samurai en el antiguo Japón del Shogunato. Se basa en un conjunto de principios que deben regir la vida del guerrero; los cuales no se encuentran codificados en texto o manual alguno, pues poseen un carácter consuetudinario. Los principios del código pueden ser resumidos en las denominadas “siete virtudes” cardinales que debe poseer todo Samurai. Occidente ve con romanticismo esta filosofía así como lo hace con muchas otras nacidas en oriente (el budismo bajo muchas de sus formas y escuelas). No obstante, muchos maestros de hoy ven el bushido actual como una forma evolucionada de su original propósito guerrero; el maestro Morihei Ueshiba, también conocido como O'Sensei divulgó un nu

tattoo photo art nouveau
Mehndi style victorian hip tattoo with text by Dawn Grace. Please do not steal my photos. These pictures are here to represent my work as a professional tattoo artist, and most of these designs were drawn specifically for each client. That said, i cannot email you pictures of my clients' custom work so that you can take it to another artist to have it done. It's not fair to the people who pay to get tattooed by me. Tattooing is a personal decision, and should you decide to get tattooed, put thought into what you want and find an artist who is willing and able to draw and tattoo exactly what you desire. Do not leave comments about my clients' bodies or choice of subject matter. Such comments are annoying and will be deleted immediately.

Maggy shared the parlor with me as we both got tattoos. Her's is a bit more extensive than mine. She said she got her other ones about a year ago. The one they're working on was inspired by nautical art, something she was exposed to by her parents, both of whom are, or were, in the Navy. There's also some French involved there, but I didn't catch its significance. Flaming Dragon Tattoo, Tacoma, WA. www.flamingdragon.com . Her Tatto was being done by Jason G. She had such a terriffic smile I had to ask her if she would be in my 100 strangers. Thanks, Maggy, for letting me take your picture.
