I know that I have already done a Megan Fox post on the Wednesday edition of Celebrity Tattoos. But none the less I had to write another post about her because she is bashing critics who claim that her tattoos are trashy. Megan has also stated that she will cover her whole body in tattoos just to spite these critics.
Megan said
“Everyone hates them because they’re closed-minded about tattoos. People who don’t like me, as far as fans go, always talk about how I’m trashy because I have tattoos. I find that insane! This is 2008, not 1950. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. I find them beautiful, so I’m going to keep doing it.?

I will admit that I have wanted to get some sort of Asian type tattoo because I think the Asian symbols are really cool. Plus it is a great conversation piece because people will also want to know your tattoo says/means. But to be honest you have got to be super careful about what you get tattooed on you. Mainly, because there are a lot of cases where people get some Asian symbol tattooed on them thinking it means something to find out later that it means something completely different and often something embarrassing.

Well it is another Wednesday so that means it is celebrity tattoo time. This week I picked Drew Barrymore because she hasa collection of 6 tattoos at the moment. But Drew has admitted that if the mood strikes her she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of getting another one.
Drew’s tattoos consist of a bouquet of flowers on the left side of her hip. On her stomach she has a butterfly tattoo which is probably her most well known tattoo. She also have a very small black crescent moon on her big toe. On the lower part of her right leg she has a fairly large tattoo of a cross with vines surrounding it. And lastly she has two angles on her lower back. One has Drew’s mother’s name “Jaid? written under it and the other has an ex-boyfriend’s name “James? under it.

You may think that is kind of odd that the Marine Coprs would be making a change in a tattoo policy. Mainly because way back in the day men who were in the service were one of the only people besides criminals and dirt bags that had tattoos. Well the Marine Corps are not making a positive change in their tattoo policy, unfortunately it is a bad one if you have tattoos.
The policy that is being changed is in regards to tattoo sleeves. As of September 4, 2008, Marines who have tattoo sleeves are no longer authorized to serve as a recruiter or Marine Security Guard. The Marine Corp defines a tattoo sleeve as the following:a large tattoo or collection of smaller tattoos that covers or almost covers a person’s arm or leg. This new policy also includes half and quarter sleeves if they are visible in green-on-green, physical training gear.

You are probably scratching your head at this one, but I promise shaving does have something to do with tattoos. For one when you get a tattoo the tattoo artist always shaves the area where you are getting a tattoo so your skin is nice and smooth and nothing is getting in the way. The reason I bring this up is because my sister recently asked me if you got a tattoo on your leg would it be ok to shave over it. The answer I gave her was yes. But there is a BUT in there.

If you live in the United States you are probably aware that the legal age for someone to get a tattoo is 18 years old. Well I actually didn’t really give this any thought until I was checking out the tattoo news for today. But apparently in Sweden there is no age limit for someone to get a tattoo. But this could change in the future. Due to some parents of underage (kids under 18) beingfurious about their children coming home with tattoos. One mother went so far as to calling the police. But there is not a law specifying a person has to be to get a tattoo. Here’s what a policeman had to say about that complaint.

As a tattoo lover I know that there are good and bad things that come with having a tattoo. One of the bad things is, some people still look down on people if they are inked then they think they are less of a person or are a “hellrasier?.One of the goods things is that if something ever happened to me my husband and or parents could identify me better because of my tattoos. But having a distinctive tattoo can also come back and bite you in the butt as well.

Well here we are another Wednesday so that means, it is time for another Celebrity Tattoo post. Today I choose to write about Chris Martin, mainly because he just made a really great comment about tattoos the other day and I thought it would be perfect for this blog
Chris says that the buzz he gets from getting tattoos is like drugs to him. Chris also admitted that he turned to tattoos because he was afraid of getting caught doing drugs by the tabloids. Here’s what Chris had to say,
“Getting tattooed is brilliant. I got a few done in my 30s and it is the best ever - especially if you are married and can’t take drugs because the (British newspaper) Daily Mirror might find out. I recommend getting a tattoo whether you are 70 or 12 - actually, maybe not 12, I think that might be a bit too young.?

It has became fairly popular and a lot more common for people who have lost a loved one or a dear friend to get something tattooed on their body in remembrance of that person. Whether it be a picture of them something they drew or even their name. To my surprise, I have found out that memorial tattoos as they are called are lot more popular than one may think. One tattoo artists claim that 20 to 30% of his business is memorial tattoos. Of course it is being reported that most of the clients that get these memorial tattoo are teenagers and young adults

Some of you reading this might not think tattoos are taboo at all, as a matter of fact I feel the same way. But I have been reading a lot of articles lately about tattoos and I’m starting to wonder myself if tattoos are really as excepted as we all think they are. There is no doubt that tattooing has become extremely popular over the past couple of years even decades. But there are still a lot of people out there that consider them trashy, inappropriate and not acceptable.
