Cherry Blossom Tattoo

About Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms of course do not play such an important role in Western society and therefore many people do not know what the cherry blossom looks like. Nor have they ever experienced it's true beauty and the full splendor of the blossom when in full bloom in the cold of winter. That's right cherry blossoms come out very late in the winter time as it starts to become spring. This flower or blossom of course grows from a flowering cherry tree. Typically flowering cherry tress do not produce cherries and if they do they do not taste very good. Instead flower cherry trees produce a beautiful flower. These can bloom anytime from the middle of winter all the way through the late spring depending on the variety and the climate where it is being grown. They are most typically colored white with a slight tint of pink in them.

Culturally Based Symbolism

The symbolism and meaning behind the flowers can differ a little bit form one culture to the next and for some the meaning and symbolism behind the flower has been lost over time and through multiple translations. However most typically for the Chinese the cherry blossom represent women. The beauty of the blossom is thought to directly reflect the beauty of a women. So for those wishing to get a tattoo to show their feminine side or their girl power side a cherry blossom tattoo might be just the thing. For the Japanese they represent a variety of thoughts and emotions. They can represent new life since they bloom in the spring which marks the beginning of a new year. However they are also very delicate flowers and live for a very short time. The Japanese feel that their extreme beauty and short time span makes it especially important to enjoy them right away. They also feel that this is symbolic of how life should be lived, in the moment. This is similar to the Latin saying Carpe Diem or seize the day.

Possible Tattoo Designs

There are many different tattoo designs that one could get that integrate a cherry blossom design. One of the first things to consider is the placement of the tattoo. Where the tattoo is placed on the body will affect the size and amount of detail for the tattoo. After figuring out the placement of the design then you will also want to consider adding to the design and possible design colors that you would like to use.

Cute Girly Tattoos

There are so many fun things to do with a tattoo. Whether you're looking for something small that only you and other very special people will see, or something that no one can miss, tattoos are a great way to make a statement about yourself for the world to see. Now that there are so many great ideas out there for cute girl tattoos, why not go out and get one today?

When you're thinking about what to get, there's always the simple approach. What could be cuter than a few strategically-placed hearts or stars? One idea is to have a cluster of stars, maybe on your lower back or ankle. Hearts look great just about anywhere-particularly on your shoulder, ankle, hip, thigh, or upper chest.

Flowers are another great way to go when considering a tattoo. A great way to use flowers is to get a ring of flowers around your belly button or your ankle. A single long-stemmed rose on the back of one of your shoulders is another sweet way to use flowers.

Another idea for a single-flower look is just to put a daisy, iris, tulip, or lily bud pretty much anywhere. It'd be fun to have maybe a small bouquet of lilies twisting up and around your ankle.

Another fun way to go is with favorite phrases spelled out in other languages, particularly languages which don't use the Roman characters we see every day. Characters and words from Asian languages are very popular, as are Gaelic symbols. There are all kinds of symbols out there that can say exactly what you want them to, though they will have to get that cute guy to come over and talk to you to ask you what they mean if he wants to know about it!

Also, whoever said that girls can't be sports fans? Why not get the logo of your favorite sports team, or your favorite player's (or driver's) number tattooed on your upper arm, ankle, or upper back? Guys love it when girls are sports-savvy, and this would be a great way to show your support for your school or hometown team!

Two Years Ago Today......

"So, there you have it. The inaugural tattoo on Tattoosday here at
BillyBlog. It should be interesting to see what else I can come up with
from strangers, or if I have to revert to friends to help me in this
project."

That's what I wrote two years ago today on my original site BillyBlog.

Little did I know how much this once weekly feature would turn into such a significant aspect of my life. In little over a month, I had spun Tattoosday off of BillyBlog, from a recurring character to a site of its own.

And we have grown! This month we will have our biggest visitor load of our short career here, reaching just under 30,000 hits. This month also marked a quarter of a million hits since Tattoosday stood alone in September 2007.

And we have our sights set even higher.

I once again want to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the blog, from the occasional visitors, to the rabid fans, from the enthusiastic tourists and New Yorkers who have contributed their work, to the talented tattoo artists who created that work.

And most of all, I want to thank my friends and family, who have seen my passion for tattoo writing, and have supported me whole-heartedly. And to my beautiful wife Melanie, who is my biggest cheerleader, most avid supporter, and one of the most understanding women I know. Not may wives would be keen on their husbands taking pictures of tattoos of strange women
(and men) they've met on the street. But she is my number one fan. And I love her all the more for it.

A week from tomorrow my oldest daughter Jolee, who inspired this, my first tattoo, will be celebrating her bat mitzvah. The week ahead will be filled with planning and visits from family, so I am taking a week off in posting, so I can focus my energies on this landmark event.

Rest assured, I have two dozen tattoo posts in the queue and will likely be unable to restrain myself from collecting more photos and stories in the week to come.

I will resume posting on August 9th or 10th.

I thank everyone for their continued support and words of encouragement.

With a Cherry on Top and a Side of Morrissey

I met Jasen several weeks back outside of the Whole Foods in Chelsea.

Jasen's left right forearm has a variation of the torn flesh motif in tattooing where the artist creates an illusion that a person's flesh is ripping away under pressure from the matter below the skin.

I have seen people with biomechanical tattoos, showing steel below the skin. Or patriotic pieces reflecting red, white and blue deep below the surface.

But Jasen is different. He is a Vegan with not one, but many "sweet teeth". So, with the help of the tattoo artist, Nick Baxter, they devised the design that would reflect delicious desserts bursting out of his skin. Jasen agreed that he wanted something "colorful, fun, and kind of ridiculous".


Okay, I know, the quality of these photos is not great. Very sun-washed. So, I was fortunate enough to find the artist's photo on his website:


Nick's site is cool because he even comments on the pieces. For example:

"Why can't every tattoo be a ridiculous skin tear-out? I'm proud to add this to the collection I've done, along with the gay unicorn and the surfer kool-aid man. It's on an awesome vegan dude who wanted to pay homage to the sweeter side of our shared dietary choice. Thanks Jasen for giving me a good excuse to have some friends over for a dessert-making and reference-photographing party...this tattoo was fun before it even started."

Nick tattooed this at a shop in Branford, Connecticut called Transcend Tattoo & Art Gallery, but has relocated to Austin.


Jasen also has the autograph of the singer Morrissey tattooed on his outer right forearm:



He saw him in concert in Philadelphia two or three months back and had the opportunity to meet him.

We talked about people getting musician's autographs tattooed (see all that have appeared on Tattoosday here), and he told me that Morrissey was the only famous person he would do that for. The singer is a vegetarian and is very outspoken about vegetarianism and animal rights.

Thanks to Jasen for sharing his cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Chip and Tom and Frank

Sometimes, the subject of a tattoo is unclear to the un-illuminated eye. Curiosity compels one to ask: what is that?

And the answer makes sense. And one marvels at the mind behind the man (or woman) who says,"Yeah, let's put that on me forever."

Such was the case during rush hour on the N train. An guy named Chip stood nearby and his right forearm intrigued me. I couldn't make out what his tattoos were. Can you?


When I asked, he explained. The top piece is a photograph from a Tom Waits album:

Despite ascertaining this is a Tom Waits photograph, I can't pinpoint where it came from. If anyone knows for certain, please let me know. The tattoo was done by C-Jay at Rising Dragon Tattoos in Manhattan. Work from Rising Dragon has appeared previously here.

Below the Waits tattoo is a Frank Zappa piece:


This is based on artwork that appeared on the back cover of Zappa's autobiography The Real Frank Zappa Book:


This piece was tattooed by an artist he only identified as Chris at Marco's Tattoo in Wakefield, Rhode Island.

Obviously, Chip is a huge fan of both Frank Zappa and Tom Waits. That's all there is to it.

Thanks to Chip for sharing his cool and unusual tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Sexy Ankle Tattoo for Girls

The ankle is a great place for a tattoo on girls because they are really showcased by the right pair of strappy sandals. Seeing a sexy tattoo in a suggestive place can earn you a lot of attention. Be ready for lots of compliments, from both girls and guys.

Some of the most common ankle tattoo designs are fairies, dragons, flowers, stars, crosses, Chinese characters, butterflies, or signs of the Zodiac. But that doesn't mean you can't tattoo anything you want, including words and cartoon characters. Your imagination is literally the limit when it comes to ankle tattoos.

Before you get inked, know a few basic things about tattoos. One, most places in Canada and the U.S. require you to be 18 to get a tattoo. You may be 16 if you have parental consent or a parent accompanying you to the studio.

Two, check out the studio where you plan to have your tattoo done. Laws governing tattoos are really spotty, so just about anyone can buy a machine and start inking people. Having an inexperienced or unprofessional tattoo artist can leave you with a really poor-quality tattoo that you're stuck with for life. You could also develop a nasty infection at the tattoo site, which could sometimes even be fatal! Check online and with your friends to find a good studio. Only visit one that you know has done quality work before.

Before you go get your tattoo, spend some time doing a little research. You may be excited to go out and get it done, but you'll have it with you forever so there's no need to be hasty in your decision. Browse designs and sketches to get a clear idea of exactly what it is you want. Browse online tattoo design galleries for ideas and inspiration. Getting a sexy ankle tattoo is going to be best achieved when you do your research and find the perfect design ahead of time, before you show up at the studio.

Girl Tattoos Places

Men and girl there is a difference in the selection places tattoo.

Usual places for a man to have a tattoo is on the chest, shoulder or upper arm. Girls fashion can be some what revealing, so having a tattoo on those parts can limit a girls wardrobe if it needs to be hidden. Girls have to consider weather the tattoo will look good when wearing a bikini or wedding dress. Which means they are generally more careful, making sure that a tattoo is easily concealed in professional clothing.

Before searching for a sexy girl tattoo, deciding where it will be on the body is the first step. Popular places for girls are on the lower back, between the shoulder blades and below the belly button. These positions seem to reflect the latest fashion as they can be easily covered up or put on show. Avoid having a tattoo on the upper chest or breast. Pregnancy or late age can cause the tattoo to stretch and become ruined.

Sexy girl tattoo designs are often butterflies, flowers, shooting stars, dolphins and cute fairies. Although it's exciting getting a tattoo, time should always be taken to pick a design. Hundreds of people have rushed in and just picked a design from the tattoo parlors books, to then find they don't really like it or their friend got the exact same design the day before.
