Star Tattoos 

single points of light or whole galaxies

Stars are really hot in the tattoo design world right now. They fit in great if you're into the retro tattoo look and wear 40s and 50s style tats, but they also go great with tribal tattooing or as a stand-alone design. They also have a strong presence in the punk/DIY subculture.

Fun Temporary Tattoos 

Temporary Tattoos

If you're not sure if you're ready for the real deal, a temporary tattoo is a great way to test the waters first. Try an armband or lower back tattoo with a temp before you take the plunge and get something permanent or just have fun for party or event!

Japanese Koi Tattoos 

love banners and symbols of devotion

These brightly-colored fish have been a long-time staple of Japanese tattooing and are very popular with non-Japanese fans of that style. Read more about the history and symbolism of Japanese Koi Tattoos

Lower Back Tattoos 

The lower back seems like it's getting kinda trendy right now, but in fact, this area has been really popular for a long time, especially as a location for a woman to be tattooed. The area is easily covered by clothing and offers a large flat area for a bigger piece of art. Women were often tattooed in this spot by the many cultures that regularly practiced tattooing (the Japanese, the Hawaiians, the Tahitians, and the Marquesans).

The idea of a lower back tattoo being a "trampstamp" is just a joke from the movie "The Wedding Crashers" but it set off a trend of perception, much like how a character in the movie "Sideways" remarked about disliking Merlot, and then suddenly Merlot wine sales dropped.

Tattooed Wings 

Fly like an eagle or an angel

As you can see from these pictures, the only limit to what your tattooed wings might look like is your own imagination and the artistic drawing skill of your tattoo artist. Some people have chosen small wings, others have committed their entire backs. Are you a butterfly? An angel? A demon?

Tattooed Arms 

Arm tattoos can be single designs, armbands that wrap all the way around a bicep, or full-color sleeves that go from shoulder to wrist. The inside of the upper arm, around the elbow and around the wrist are the most sensitive areas of the arms, so think carefully before getting those areas heavily tattooed.

I think this is my new favorite one.. by weep like a widow

Butterfly Tattoos 

Butterflies have been incredibly popular in American tattoo culture, and are most often worn by women. You might like to have a realistic butterfly tattooed on you, or instead invent your own fantasy species.

For the Wings Tats i would have to say that Lara's the best among the rest. Detailed and it curves just right to her body.

Great Lens.

My boyfriend and I want wing tattoos. I want to the left wing and him the right. We also want to incorporate some personal things in our own wing. He is in the Army and wants his airborne wings and the pow symbol, but me on the other hand am a girly girl. I like the beach and have a daughter. We cant seem to come up with a set of wings that will allow us to incorporate these ideas. Do you have any suggestions or should we each go our own way and get completely different wings, but I feel that will defite the reason for the tattoo in the first place. Me here and him in Iraq me the left wing and him the right but when they are together they are a complete pair.
Thanks for any input
Amie
