Most common styles:

Avoid settling for a tattoo lettering style that is popular because there may be a risk of the other person having it already. Fashion and body art are similar in the sense that the various styles come and go but unlike the former, the tattoo is etched on the skin forever. Always choose a lettering style that gives meaning and raises the quality of your text. The ''icy'' or ''fiery'' looking lettering styles is 2010's favorite. Kanji, a calligraphic style of the Japanese, has had many takers around this period. The more formal and refined ''Mincho Kanji'' is considered equivalent to the '' Times New Roman'' according to the Japanese body artists.

The Dragon Tattoo


I know the film has been out for over a year and the DVD for a while but I only got to watch 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' - whose original and more potent title was 'Men Who Hate Women' (a far more appropriate title given the nature of the book) - the other day. Having read the Millennium Trilogy (this is part one) by Stieg Larsson last year I was always looking forward to the film versions of the books. They're made for film whether on the big or small screen (infact, I believe this film was originally a two part television film re-edited into a big screen version) as they're over the top, with plenty of puzzle solving, plot twists, melodrama, violence and filled with well drawn characters engaged in a plot that moves forward at a relentless pace. Underlying the books is of course a number of serious subjects including racism, patriarchal misogyny, sexual violence and globalization - a reminder that all is not well in social democratic Sweden, a country we often view as enlightened and liberal, a country unlike our own.

So, for those of you who haven't read the books I'm afraid you'll have to go elsewhere for a synopsis. Suffice to say that the trilogy makes for great holiday reading and if like me you're prone to reading thrillers late at night be warned; this book and its companions are pages turners and the chances of you getting much sleep are minimal.

So to the film, let me begin by saying that I'm glad I saw the Swedish version first. David Fincher is directing the Hollywood version next year with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara (Tanner Hall, Dare, The Winning Season, The Social Network) in the lead roles and although I'm looking forward to seeing how they approach it I can't see quite how they're going to capture the psychological atmosphere of Sweden well as their Swedish counterparts.

I think there's an inherent problem with all films adapted from a book written by someone from another culture. To visually express the tonal qualities, nuances and spirit of another culture through film is extremely difficult. This is made all the more harder when you're trying to condense and stay true to a book that has a packed narrative - and enough plotlines to make a number of films - running to over 500 pages. I have no doubt that David Fincher - a Director I very much admire - will do a great job with the pulp aspect of the 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' and its partner books in the trilogy. However, underneath the surface of the books lie important questions about Swedish society. These ugly truths, the sub text, are far more difficult to thread into the film - as they need to be given space to breathe and tell their own story - and are best approached through tone, rhythm, colour, atmosphere and a Swedish cultural sensibility. It is this aspect of the film that I fear will be lost in translation. So America taking on plot and character, yes definitely, dealing with the dark undercurrent that runs throughout the book and the rest of the trilogy, namely the societal issues that preoccupy many Swedish crime writers including; Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser, Mari Jungstedt and of course Stieg Larsson, I don't think so.

Girl Back Tattoo

Girl Back Tattoo

A popular tattoo for females is a girl back tattoo.

This has become a trendy spot for many girls. While a girl back tattoo can have many placement benefits, there are other things to consider:

1. Where exactly should a girl back tattoo go?

Most designs are placed in the lower back area. Unfortunately, this area has become so much of a trend, that it is now seen as an unoriginal area to get inked. If you go into any nightclub now days, it seems more often than not that most girls will have similar tattoo designs, and they will all be placed on the low back area.

Tattoos were originally meant to stand for something unique and personal, as opposed to being trendy. If you personally feel the low center back area is ideal for you, then by all means consider that area for your ink. But if you are leaning towards this just because all your girlfriends are inked there, you may want to reconsider a more original and personal spot for your ink.

2. What's a "tramp stamp" all about?




Because of the trendy nature of this tattoo style, the slang term "tramp stamp" has emerged which essentially refers to any tattoos on females in that low center back area. This is what happens when something becomes too trendy and too many people jump on the bandwagon. People recognize the pattern, and realize it is no longer subculture but mainstream, and thus attach a negative, derogatory label to it. So just be aware of this slang term, and again if you are set on the back placement then simply rise above the tramp stamp labeling.

3. How about some alternatives?

Other areas of placement can be the upper back (or the back of the shoulder area), and even the middle back, though it'll be less noticeable there.

Another great alternative is side body placement. You can have a tattoo placed on your obliques. These side tattoos can be much more unique and original as far as placement goes.

Most importantly, you always want to research and find the right tattoo, and then see how it will look in the area you prefer. There are great galleries online where your can print out designs, place them on your body, and get a better idea of what your design will look like.

Bad Tattoo Choices

Bad Tattoo Choices

If you get a tattoo you want to make sure you don't make a bad choice. No matter how good it may seem at the time, think hard about the following factors that make up a real bad tattoo choice.

1. India ink homemade tattoos. These are common with youth, and you will often see grown adults with old and dull green unrecognizable "smears" on their body. Sometimes it looks like it might be a skin condition, but in reality it's a homemade India ink tattoo put on by a beginner several years ago, usually during their youth. I've seen home made tattoos that used to say a name and now it's totally unrecognizable. These are generally bad choices, and it's best to save up some money and get a killer tattoo done by a pro.



2. Tribal tattoos or trendy tattoos. If you are truly into tribal then by all means go for it, but if you are just jumping on the bandwagon then forget it. Many tribal tattoo wearers jumped on the bandwagon years ago and got a big tribal tattoo because it was trendy to do. Now they are unoriginal and many are regretful that they got a design which practically everyone and their brother now has. This also goes for other trendy tattoo's such as the low center girl back tattoo that has become so overdone, a slang term "tramp stamp" has developed referring to such tattoos.

Tattoos and Diabetes

Tattoos and Diabetes

I was recently asked a question on our website that I thought deserved a lengthy answer.
J.C. of Buffalo, NY asks: "I have diabetes and I take insulin. Is there any reason I should be concerned about getting a tattoo?"

So, J.C, you're thinking about getting a tattoo, but you have diabetes. Is this a good idea? Well, in most cases it's not a problem. But there are some things you should be thinking about before during and after the inking process.

During my 18 years in podiatric practice I thought I had seen everything, that is until one day I was called to the emergency department for a consultation. A 45 year old female diabetic patient decided to get a tattoo on the top of her foot. She said she thought nothing of it at the time. It was a rendering of her late cat whom she loved so much. About 3 days after the inking she began to develop some redness around the site. She followed the directions given to her, but the redness got worse. She applied more ointment but now she could see the redness spreading away from the tattoo. She consulted her tattoo artist who intuitively had her call her physician who sent her immediately to the emergency department.

Tattoo Designs For the Arm

Choosing Boom Designs for One's Arm

By far, best individuals accept to get their aboriginal arresting boom on their arm. Boom designs for the arm alter as abundant as do alone tastes. There are a few factors one charge accede back allotment such a piece. Best importantly, of course, is the admeasurement of one's arm! One should additionally accumulate in apperception that one's accoutrements will acceptable get abate or beyond as they age and that this may affect the aesthetics of the tattoo. Skin tone, one's activity and added considerations will additionally appear into comedy back announcement boom art on the arms.

Most individuals who accept jobs breadth tattoos are about frowned upon, such as the aggressive or law enforcement, opt to get their artwork placed on the high arm.
