Going Postal:
Some of you may have been *lucky* enough to see me fly into a rage when people lean their bikes against my storefront. I started by saying, "could you please move your bike?". Then I put up a sign "NO BIKES, PLEASE". Yesterday, "Don't put your bike here", "I'm not kidding", & "I don't care if you're 'just pumping it'" were added.
What happens, you ask? People continue to lean their bikes against my shop. What's worse is that when I ask them to move, they sling attitude back at me. *Scoff* "I'm just pumping it!" is the usual reply. Not only are they all being unbelievably rude and self-important, but they are disturbing me while I work!! Every time a bike gets leaned on the storefront, it makes a very loud noise. It is much louder than it sounds like from the outside. What am I doing on the other side of the wall??? Frigging TATTOOING!! It's something PERMANENT. If I'm startled very bad things can happen.
So, here is the first (& what I'm certain will not be the last) example of people being rude and inconsiderate:

Cool and Stylish Celtic Tattoo Designs
Cool and Stylish Celtic Tattoo
Celtic tattoo designs are a popular and cool option when considering symbolic tattoos. There is no limit to the designs available or the art in question, so Celtic tattoos are a frequent choice with tattoo enthusiasts of all ages.
Celtic tattoos are based off of Celtic art. When used in reference to tattoos, the adjective "Celtic" is pretty much synonymous with "tribal." Not only are they considered stylish now and very popular, they are historically popular as well.
The most popular Celtic designs are variations on the Celtic cross, which is typically a cross comprised of woven lines and a circle around the intersection of the lines of the cross. Also, the woven Celtic arm band is worn by both sexes with pride. Other popular designs classified as Celtic are the "Celtic knot" and the Claddaugh, which is the known Irish design that has two hands holding a heart.
Since Celtic culture dates back to six centuries BC, you can be sure that people have been getting Celtic tattoos since the inception of tattoos themselves. People today see Celtic tattoos as a way to connect with their roots by displaying an ornamental design.
Celtic and tribal art are the main inspiration for tattoos described as such. Celtic art is based heavily off of symbolism, and is not based in nature. The typically curved or woven lines are clean and monochromatic, with black being the standard. They vary greatly, and there really is no "typical" Celtic tattoo. Standard of the style, though, are thick lines full of asymmetrical, curved lines that frequently weave together.

choosing kanji symbols
When choosing kanji symbols is that they are only one of three writing systems used in Japan --which is where kanji is used (not China). Kanji is the oldest and most complicated of the three writing systems( kanji, hiragana and katakana). The other systems are hiragana and katakana, with katakana being the most familiar to westerners. Why the most familiar? Because katakana is used specifically to write foreign words (and science words and a few other things) and foreign names.Characters can be written both vertically and horizontally. Here are some Kanji Tattoo Symbols pictures.
Cross Tattoos For Men - Symbols and Meaning of Each Kind
Cross tattoos for men are one of the top ten most popular tattoo designs worn by bearers. Among them are angels, flowers and zodiac. When choosing a permanent tattoo, you should always consider your beliefs and feelings. Make sure that whatever design you put on your skin, you seriously accept it for the rest of your life.There are many designs of cross tattoos for men. The big question has always been which kind of cross tattoo should one get. Your decision of course, mainly depends on your belief and character. The cross is a symbolical shape to so many religious sectors, spiritual groups and other tribes. Well, I've narrowed the choices down to these four classifications of cross tattoos for men.
Christian or Catholic Cross Tattoos
The Christian design mainly symbolizes the bearer's faith. If you are looking for a design that can express your individuality, identity and most of all, your faith, then this kind of cross tattoo is for you. The wearer sees his body as a canvass where he can express his love for God and proclaim his faith and belief in Him.
Celtic Cross Tattoos
This certain design classification centers mainly on heritage more than faith. For the Irish, Scottish or Welsh and other Celts, this symbolizes their ethnicity. The complexity of the Celtic design mimics the elaborate interrelation of nature. The intricate weaves, spirals and mazes of their design showcases the cycle of life where there is no beginning and there is no end. It is a deep symbol for life and the seasons of nature.
Cross Moline Tattoos
Originally of English design, cross moline tattoos represent a time of knights, fair maidens, jousting tournaments, Renaissance period, slaying dragons, kings, queens and magic swords. The design of each cross was a way of identifying the combatants during battle when their faces are covered with iron masks and shields.
Gothic Cross Tattoo
More than a symbolic tattoo, the Gothic design represents pain, suffering and darkness. If you have a deeper understanding of the universe and if you find yourself out of place in the world because you feel different in a certain level, then this design can be very suitable for you. It is for someone who can truly relate to the dark side of life and is not afraid of living in it because he accepts it as it is - life.
Gizmo & Gadget, Session One:
Edna came in today to start her incredibly cute dog portraits. It was difficult for me to hold in the squeals while I was tattooing. We worked for about 2.5 hours today. Below are shots of the puppies, Gizmo & Gadget, the linework, and the piece as we left it today. Can't wait to finish!
Also, I have next Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday after 6pm available. Please come in to schedule an appointment. I'll be in the rest of the week during regular hours (Noon-8pm).
