ugliest tattoo

An angel is basically a portrait tattoo and is at the highest skill level, which is why the majority of angels one sees are ugly tattoos.

At some point young ladies quit looking for cute tattoos and started seeking out tattoos similar to there male friends, this has led to females with skull tattoos and other unflattering images.

Almost every tattoo comes with an accompanying story and emotional significance. Whenever the tattoo falls out of favor, there is emotional stress in many cases and a strong drive to get rid of that tattoo. This can lead the tattoo bearer into spending a lot of time and money.

Tattoos may be fugly for a number of reasons: maybe the tattoo artist is cross-eyed, maybe the chosen image is in poor taste, or maybe the canvas is just a little "rough."

Whatever the reason for a jacked tattoo, you can't help but shed a tear for its owner; removing a bad branding is a painful process that costs a pretty penny.



 Our question of the day is: What's the ugliest tattoo you've ever seen?

Dove tattoos not only being a beautiful design

Dove tattoos have some very profound meanings in the tattoo world. Dove tattoos in Chinese culture are used as a symbol of a long and healthy life. Dove is also a persons name and in both the Scottish and Irish native language the Boys name "Callum" is a translation of Dove.

Tattoos with dove designs usually portray independence and purity. Peace dove tattoos happen to be the most frequently requested design amongst many peace lovers.

Two doves sharing the same branch is a much requested tattoo design with newly married couples.

Dove tattoos not only being a beautiful design, dove tattoos can have a very symbolic meaning to the person that chooses to have one. To each person, the symbolism can be quite different and their meanings can include the following:


  • Universal Peace
  • Hope
  • Innocence
  • Gentleness
  • Everlasting Love
  • Purity
  • Prosperity
  • Christian symbol for the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit
  • A releasing of the soul after death
  • The Chinese regard the dove as a symbol for a long life


These designs can be as detailed and colorful as you desire. Many people add flowers, an olive branch, hearts, words, a peace sign, a cross or even the sky to their dove tattoo. However you choose to have your artwork done, and whatever meaning that this exquisite bird has for you, this will be a tattoo that you will enjoy forever.

Dove tattoos will always bring a message of peace and hope, and this bird’s significants on a woman’s body will tell the story of her journey to happiness hidden within.

Musician Monday: Camille Harp's Bird Flies Free

It has been a while since we celebrated "Musician Monday," but the early onset of spring has brought out the tattoos and last week in Penn station, I met Camille, who shared this part of her left sleeve:


We focused on this segment in particular:


Camille told me she went to her artist, Fernando Casillas, at Think Ink Tattoo in Norman, Oklahoma, and just told him she wanted a bird flying out of a cage. "I just like the idea of setting yourself free," she explained. Work from Think Ink has appeared on Tattoosday previously, here.

It wasn't until the following day, when I noticed that Camille had followed us on Twitter, that I realized that she was a musician. I had caught her while she was heading back to Oklahoma, and was nervous about catching the right train and making her flight in time.

Camille, as it turns out, is Camille Harp, a singer-songwriter from a musical family, who has an album forthcoming called "Little Bit of Light". If you go to CamilleHarp.com, you can download her song "One by One". It's a lovely song that only makes me wish I could hear her in concert. She has a wonderful voice and soulful tone.


You can also grab her record "Like the Rain" here.

Thanks to Camille for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday! Please check out her website and/or her fan page on Facebook and support this wonderful artist!

We'll leave you with a performance from 2010, in which Camille sings with her mother in Oklahoma City:

Anus Tattoo - Becoming Mainstream?

People can get tattooed on most parts of their bodies and everyone who shares a passion for Ink is aware of that but sometimes there are areas on the body that people don't really think or consider getting tattooed such as the anus.


It might sound funny but it happens more often that one can imagine, like the old saying : "Just becausee you don't see it it don't mean it isn't there".






Here are some of the examples of Anus Tattoos, not only women get them Men get them as well.





It looks like a trend that might have been around for some time already but now is becoming mainstream.
