Tattoo Art Glorified

Using the words 'tattoo' and 'art' in the same sentence is unthinkable to many people. Several collections of DVDs available at the Japanese Amazon website may cause these critics to reconsider.



Quite a few young ladies in China allow tattoo artists to use their bodies as media. The result is a jarring combination of the beauty of the human form and the creations of the artistic hand. The viewer is forced to ask: where shall I devote my attention, to the attraction of youthful female bodies or the stunning creations artists have made upon them?



Presented here will be a small taste of the pictures available in the DVD collections. Check the Amazon links provided in the advertising on these pages for availability of these collections outside Japan.

Why is this dragon smiling? Why is this dragon going that way? Maybe the folks at this website know the answers.

Guys and Gals,

Sorry to bother you with undecipherable codes. I'm just trying to sign up to a new program and they asked me to add the silly code you see above. If you don't want to wait until my new partner signs me up, go to this site to find a dream match. That'll be fun for you.

Thousand Words



Never a truer word was spoken.

The Latin term for a man who is bossed around by his wife is

Per Caudam Trahere [= dragged around by the penis] In they'd just call him whipped.

Ranking

photo credit

As`you can tell from the watermark attached to this photo, the website from which this photo was leeched asks viewers to rank the tattoos. OK, would that be a 1 or a 2?

Edit: Reminds me of an old joke:
There are ten kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary. And those who don't.

Angel Uncorked

This photo, leeched from this website, is called Large Angel Back Tattoo. OK ,I can see that.

I guess the wearer of the tattoo is aware that close observation is best available when the observer--maybe someone from -- is in the doggie position. Mmmm, I can see that.

Big OOOoooops


Many non-Asians get tattoos consisting of Chinese-looking or Japanese-looking letters (or kanji, to be more exact). They think these letters mean.... one thing. But often the kanji mean something else.

Here are a few examples of celebrities whose tattoos miss the mark:

* Denver Nuggets basketball player Chris Anderson was told the Chinese character on one shoulder means "good" and the one on the other shoulder means "bad". Oooops. The character he was told means "bad" actually means "nausea".

*Another basketball player, Shawn Marion of the Toronto Raptors, refers to himself as "The Matrix". So he got a tattoo for his leg which he was assured meant "The Matrix". Oooops. The Chinese meaning is more like "Demon bird camphor".

*Justin Timberlake is a well-known singer. So it makes sense to put the character "qu", which means "song", on his hot body. Oooops. It doesn't mean "song", it means "bent, crooked or wrong".

* Britney Spears got into the Kabbala thing, like her friend Madonna. She had some Kabbala symbols put on the back of her neck [see picture]. They were supposed to mean "healing". Ooooops. The three symbols were inked out of order, so her tattoos don't really mean anything.

I guess once those Indian mhendi artists get started they can't stop. If those aren't the sexiest feet you've ever seen I don't know what you've seen.
