Happy Blogiversary To Me! A Re-Post Celebration

Today marks Tattoosday's fourth anniversary, when we first started off here on BillyBlog as a once a week feature, before spinning off into a stand-alone site little over a month later.



To celebrate, I'll be sharing favorite posts from the past four years throughout the day. Just a little celebratory break before we resume our normally-scheduled programming.



I also encourage readers to comment below or email me (tattoosday@gmail.com) and I will attempt to re-post reader favorites throughout the day.



Thanks to all of my readers for supporting me throughout the years! Here's to at least four more years!

Anniversary Re-Post - Julie's Crazy Tattoo

As part of our fourth anniversary, we are re-posting some of our favorite Tattoosday moments. This post is one of my all-time favorites, from June 15, 2010:



Inkspotting can be impulsive, but I also like to approach each volunteer after some consideration.



Rather than rush up on someone and barrage them with questions, I like to make sure the tattoo(s) in question are not only interesting to me, but will be interesting to others.



When I spotted Julie's back in Penn Station, for example, I hesitated:

It wasn't initially clear what her tattoo said and I was struck by its uniqueness. A huge fan of word and type tattoos, I couldn't recall ever seeing anything quite like it.



So my curiosity got the best of me and I introduced myself to Julie.



The tattoo "Loufoque," which is a slang term in butcher jargon for "crazy person". Julie explained that she apprenticed with a butcher shop for six months and it was a word she often heard tossed about by the staff, occasionally used when referring to a customer who might be difficult or, let's say, insane.



The term Loufuque derived from 19th Century butcher slang and it became part of the vernacular. Julie thought that this tattoo would be a great way to commemorate her experience.



The tattoo was done by Ryoko at Brooklyn Tattoo. I asked the artist where she came up with the letter design and she kindly gave me a little more perspective:

"I recall Julie requesting the letters themselves to express lunacy. The final design in the photo is my own interpretation of what she had asked for and I think my intention here was to make the phrase look chaotic and disorderly, yet somewhat maintaining it's legibility. It's what I was able to put together by trying to depict what she might have been imagining in her head at the time."

So, this post was written and prepped and I was online doing some final research when I stumbled upon this tidbit of information from "Of Meat and Men" by Rachel Kramer Bussel over on The Daily Beast:

Her goodbye present from the Fleisher’s staff is a set of knives inscribed with her name and “Loufoque,” French-butcher Pig Latin for “Crazy Lady,” a term she now has permanently tattooed across her back. Yet Powell now sounds much surer of herself than the lost woman whom we find in the early pages of Cleaving. Next up is a stab at a novel: “I’ve written quite enough memoirs for a 36-year-old.”

Was this coincidence? Or were we talking about the same person?



Scrolling back in the article, I discovered that the Powell here and the Julie that I met in Penn Station were one and the same person.



The same person who crafted The Julie/Julia Project, in which the author blogged her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which became a book, which in turn became the film Julie and Julia. All of this Julie never once mentioned. Then again, I never asked. And it is all about the tattoo, after all.



That being said, thanks to Ryoko for sharing her thoughts about creating this tattoo, and a hearty thanks to Julie Powell for sharing this interesting tattoo. I'm glad my curiosity got the better of me!

"Sometimes you just need to dress up. Even if you're the type that's not so much into dressing! And exactly for that occasion, we have created this stunning dress worthy of every Madame or burlesque Diva - corset, laces, latex and feathers for a gown with extra twist. ;-)

This illustrated costume consists of a variety of different items and clothing layers to give you as much flexibility as possible when styling your avatar. Aside of 2 differently shaped feather boas, you will find a detailed corset buttoned tight in the back, matching latex pants and a long skirt with attachment ruffles and glitch pants. And if you'd like to go less covered or add an additional color effect to the corset, a demi cup bra which you can wear stand alone or as jacket layer over the corset layer. The only thing this doesn't have is a non-revealing top - but that's what you have feathers for after all ;-D"

Ah and now a  sneak look into this amazing creative Hunt .....

There has been a strange commotion this night at deviousMind sim, excited voices everywhere, press, flashlights… the exact circumstances are not quite certain; it might be, that the busy chiefs of police are too involved in investigations to issue a statement. It would seem, that all residents of said sim, so far known as a peaceful place, are still in shock about the deed of crime – or in possession of a knowledge they are not willing to share.At any rate, investigations are going on. And help of everybody is needed.

So it is official:    Rumor has had it, that pretty things can soon be found… Like Now !!!!

 http://slurl.com/secondlife/deviousMind/100/200/30/

A few of you “old timers” might be excited to hear that Captain’s Quarters and its super-talented creator Nathalia Parisi have come finally back to the grid – and for those who don’t know this store from the past yet, you’re in for a treat of amazing furniture and prefabs and anything else that makes living in prims desireable.

And it wouldn’t be our crazy cupcake lady “as we know her”, if Elise Capalini from Cupcakes & Poetry hadn’t spent nights and nights in her bakery building to create you the perfectly sweet devious cake gift there could possibly be… but not telling yet :-D
Of course there is also glam and feathers to be had with a new burlesque gift from !dM deviousBeauty and last but not least, something for your pose-stand by
 (*chanimations photography props and poses.
And to top it all of:
The Joker Gift!
Somewhere in the sim (and trust me, it can be huge if you’re looking for something) will be exactly one big prize hidden – so if you’re lucky and with the right amount of intuition, you will be the new proud owner of a 5000,- L$ giftcard for (*chanimations and deviousMind soon!
The box will be different than the other hunt items, and I’ll do my best to make it as un-obvious as I can *evilgrin*. It wouldn’t be a joker if it was easy to find after all! ;-D
Every day that the joker has not been found, I will release a new hint to it’s location until one happy “sim chief investigator” disovers it! Good luck to you all! :-)

The Quotable Tom Ford

As a new season of Project Runway premiered last night, I thought I'd share a fashion-related tattoo. Working on "Fashion Avenue," I see a lot of ink on people in the industry. Here's one from Megan:

This is a quote by the fashion designer Tom Ford:

"Beauty is an illusion/It is here only for a moment/Then it fades/But in the brief moment of existence/It has forever/impacted the world"

Megan read these words in one of Ford's books, in a section about evening wear.



"I love Tom Ford," she told me, "and I think he's a very smart man."



The tattoo was done about 2-3 years ago at Ink Candy in Hollywood by an artist named Angel.



Thanks to Megan for sharing this inspirational quote with us here on Tattoosday!

Katie's Bouquet

I spotted this lovely tattoo on the Broadway-Lafayette subway platform last month, while switching trains:

This floral piece, on Katie's calf,  is one of her eight tattoos.



The larger flower is an iris and the smaller flowers are Narcissus papyraceus or, as they are commonly known, Paperwhites.



She added these paperwhites specifically because they were her Nan's favorite flower.



The tattoo was done by an artist named Ron Hotte in San Diego. Rob is currently back in New York, more  specifically on Long Island, at Solid Gold Tattoo.



Thanks to Katie for sharing this beautiful tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

A Skull in Penn Station

Last week, I was passing through Penn Station when I spotted a woman with a bunch of interesting tattoos. I introduced myself, and had taken a picture of one of her tattoos, when the loudspeaker announced her train was boarding. Having learned nothing about the tattoo I had just photographed, I gave her my card and asked her to e-mail me the details.



When this happens, I am often left with a tattoo and no story. But fortunately for all of us here at Tattoosday, Stephanie e-mailed me a few days later, and this is what she had to say:

"You stopped me in Penn Station ... and took a picture of my tattoo. Its a skull on my forearm, pink with green flowers and a backwards jaw :)

I got the tattoo years ago now and the color is still incredibly vibrant. I got it at Chameleon Tattoo & Body Piercing  in Harvard Sq, Cambridge Massachusetts. The artist's name is Rueben Kayden. He does amazing traditional work and I've had him work on me several other times. At the time he had been working on two pin-up girls I have on the backs of my arms. I went in for my appointment and Rueben showed me a design he had been doodling. It was a strange skull with its jaw on the back of its head, and flowers all around. I immediately loved it. So, we ended up just tattooing that on me instead. I'm very random and I love random pieces of work. What's better than a random story?"

Work from Chameleon Tattoo and Body Piercing has appeared previously on the site here and here.



Thanks to Stephanie for sharing this tattoo and story with us here on Tattoosday!

Kat Von D and Jesse James Split

Jesse James and Kat Von D have called off their engagement and broken up. The couple, who were set to marry this year, got together following James's messy divorce from Sandra Bullock. "I am no longer w Jesse," Von D confirmed on her Twitter account, "and out of respect for him, his family and myself, thats all the info I'd like to share. Thanks for respecting that."

James however, was willing to share a bit more. America's bad boy spoke to PEOPLE and said, 

"I'm so sad because I really love her," and revealed that distance was the reason it was not working out. Their engagement, announced in January, will not end as planned - in a late summer wedding on the one-year anniversary of when they started dating.

"I just saw them a couple nights ago together in Hollywood at The Counter and they seemed really happy," an eyewitness told RadarOnline. James was dumped by Hollywood star Sandra Bullock amid claims he had cheated on her multiple times with other women.

Von D shoots her reality show in Los Angeles, while James lives in Austin, Texas, with his three children, Chandler, 16, Jesse Jr., 14, and Sunny, 7.

'Real Housewives of New York' Reunion Special

Last night was another heated Bravo “Housewives” reunion show. This time it brought the New York City gals to the table. All the ladies, Jill, Kelly, Alex, Sonja, Ramona, LuAnn and Cindy attended and were asked to review their past season. Fingers were pointed, tempers got frayed and Ramona and Sonja were at their most blunt.

Bravo Executive Vice-President of Original Programming and Development and "Housewives" creator Andy Cohen could barely control the opinionated ladies, and had to repeatedly tell them in so many words, "Shut up!" “She’s condescending, she doesn’t see it, that’s the problem, she’s delusional,” said Ramona. Ramona defended herself further, ”LuAnn is condescending and she always tries to make like her life is perfect.”

“I don’t hang around here to have you teach me,” Cindy tells Sonja. “The last person I’d ever have etiquette lessons from is you with your butt hanging and your boob hanging out.” Cindy says, "Once again, Sonja, I don't hang around here to have you teach me. The last person I would ever have etiquette [lessons] from is you with your butt hanging out [and] your boob hanging out."

Two for Tattoosday - Dave's Scalpflower and Bethany's Lonely Whale

A couple weeks back, I met Dave and Bethany outside of the Borders Penn Plaza in Manhattan. Both had amazing ink and shared some tattoos with us. Let's start with Dave's "scalpflower":

 

Dave explained that this floral tattoo on his scalp was inked by Mike Adams, who was doing a guest spot at Thicker Than Water in Manhattan.

Dave elaborated:

"We had talked about some ideas when I saw him [Mike Adams] at the Philadelphia Convention. We showed up [at Thicker than Water] and he just showed me some of the drawings of the tattoos he had recently done.

He had done another flower on someone else in the past week and I said 'Oh, let's do one of those.' He said, 'Yeah, that's awesome/ Let's do it.' "

Dave, who is approximately 70% covered in tattoos, had mostly been worked on by Tony Hundahl from Rock of Ages Tattoo in Austin, Texas. Hundahl has done both of Dave's sleeves (including the traditional segment pictured below), his chest, stomach, back, knees and one of his legs.

Dave added that, since moving to Washington D.C. recently, he started collecting work from other artists in the East.



Along with Dave, I met Bethany who, shared one of her more recent tattoos, this whale by Deno Jr.:

Deno Jr. works out of Circus Tattoo in Madrid, Spain, but had recently done a guest spot at Tattoo Paradise in D.C.



This tattoo is of this lonely whale, whose song is different from any other species, so it is an outcast, and she doesn't have a mate.



Thanks to Dave and Bethany for sharing their amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler End Their Engagement

Kristin Cavallari and her fiance, NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, have reportedly called off their engagement. Kristin Cavallari and 28-years old Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler got engaged in Mexico last April, had planned to tie the knot this spring after the football star proposed during the couple’s vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

A large number of the fans of the couple are searching and clicking in the social media sources to confirm the news of the split of Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler. “She got dumped,’ a source told PEOPLE. ‘She’s absolutely devastated. She can’t believe this is happening.”

Former “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler have been dating since last fall. “I’m in love and it’s been great,” she said earlier this year in april when they got enganged. Jay Cutler proposed her with a 5.2 carat diamond ring while the couple were on holiday in Mexico.

And now former “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler have took a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico together. Source also told to the PEOPLE, “She was planning her dream wedding, the date was set, the location – everything was set. She’s in shock that the dream wedding she was planning is going to end this way.”

Candice Swanepoel Launches New Victoria's Secret Scent

South African supermodel Candice Swanepoel is currently busy in promotion of Victoria Secret's newest Fantasies beauty collection, "Sheer Love." Candice Swanepoel is the face of Sheer Love, the brand's new Fantasies body lotion and scent collection.

“I had many fantasies growing up,” Swanepoel said, “Not all of them that you would like to know.”  She did reveal that she has always “secretly” wanted to be a fashion stylist. “I style myself,” Candice Swanepoel said. While promoting Fantasies beauty collection, "Sheer Love", Candice Swanepoel donned a cute summer ready floral dress, accentuating her looks with cute nude ankle strap heels.

The blond beauty has come under fire by fashion insiders recently for being too skinny, but she looks perfectly fine here. She has blamed her unusual schedule and traveling for the lack of a proper diet. Candice Swanepoel wearing a floral Balanciaga sundress, introduced the new fragrance line in the company's flagship store in The Grove in Los Angeles on July 19.

Candice Swanepoel said, “I love fashion, I love to play with different stuff and I really think it shows your personality so I think if someone else chooses it for you it's different … and there’s something exciting about choosing something and not knowing what people's reactions will be.”

Aisha's Stunning Back Piece

This incredible back piece belongs to Aisha, a former New Yorker who now resides in Florida.



I met her last month at the corner of 36th Street and Broadway in Manhattan.



The tattoo is an interpretation of the old adage, "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil".



Inked over eleven years ago and representing about twenty hours of work, this huge piece was her second of eight tattoos.



She remembers only that the artist's name is Rodrigo, so it may have been Rodrigo Melo who currently owns and works at North Star Tattoo, but I am still working to confirm he was the tattooer behind this.



"I told him what I wanted," Aisha explained. "He just drew it on my back and I loved it and that was it."



The face is female, her eyes are closed and she has a mouth bit that represents her silence.

Despite the face's eyes being closed, she indicated that the "third eye" in the middle of the forehead is open. The third eye can be interpreted many ways, but often refers to looking inward and a greater consciousness.



Thanks to Aisha for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Norway Shooter Anders Behring Breivik In Pictures | Anders Behring Breivik Wiki

The man charged with killing 93 people in a bombing and mass shooting attack in Norway is to appear before a judge in a central Oslo court amid tight security on Monday.

Anders Behring Breivik, 32, admits carrying out a massacre on an island youth camp and a bombing in the capital Oslo in which at least 93 people died.

Attorney Geir Lippestad, who claimed to represent the 32-year-old Breivik, told Norwegian TV2 late Saturday that his client “is ready to explain himself” in court.

The killer behind Friday’s bloodletting in Norway is a boyishly handsome, blond-haired anti-Islamic nationalist interested in politics, violent video games and the T.V. show “Dexter”, NY Daily reports.

Amy Winehouse Will Live On in Andrea's Ink

Back in June, I met Andrea on Penn Plaza in Manhattan and she shared this tattoo:

This is, of course, Amy Winehouse, whose death was just announced yesterday. Andrea, who has this inked on her upper right arm, says she had this done "in the style of Monet". The artist was "Mad Dog" at Studio 33 Tattoo on St. Mark's in Manhattan.



When I asked Andrea why she got Winehouse tattooed on her, she replied, "she has such amazing talent" and professed her admiration for her as an artist.

The tattoo art is based on a painting she had found online, and she selected it to add to her collection of approximately twenty tattoos.



In hindsight, it seems almost haunting that I photographed this piece on June 22, a month and a day before she died. We here at Tattoosday are saddened by her passing and can only wonder what art will never be created because she died at such an early age, like so many other talented musicians whose struggles with addiction cut their lives short.



Thanks to Andrea for sharing this tattoo. I hope that her ink gives her strength as she bears this tribute to Amy Winehouse for everyone to see.
