Sexy and Cute Tattoo Designs For Girls




Are you looking for sexy and cute tattoo designs for girls? You come to the right location because we have some of the best ideas to think about when trying to turn on the opposite sex! Imagine if you will having that perfect little sexy tattoo that will only add to your spontaneous cuteness and drive the guys wild! This is the reason why you want a sexy and cute tattoo design for cuteness- options right? Sexy and cute tattoos do not have to be rooted in outlandish secularism! By no means should they speak anything about your character only add to the aesthetic beauty and cuteness factor that you are trying so hard to emulate.

We can start off with describing some of the cutest areas for tattoos on a curvy-woman. The ankle tattoos are red-hot and are highly recommended since these are also easy to conceal in a business work environment setting. Many of the best ankle tattoo designs are of course smallish in nature but are big and hard in design options. There can be a map or the State that has the most memories held for the little girl's heart. Another choice could be a unicorn or even some other mythical creature such as flying hearts or even lightning bolt's!

As long as the tattooed area is the ankles then what is placed upon that angelic location is of little regard. This is what's interesting about people who think the ankle tattoos are sexy because of what the tattoo symbolizes. If that was the case then only the wearer and a few select people who perceived to agree that object are saying to be sexy and cute would see that the 'turn on button' would be on full alert!

Aside from the ankles for great tattoo designs locations there is also the wrist and the all-important stomach region. There are not too many men in this world that do not feel that a shapely woman's stomach area with a heart or even a ball and chain does not screen sexuality. Trust this guy it does and dependent upon the woman and the tastefulness of the tattoo can be an open and discussion able topic that can break the ice almost instantaneously. Once more, let's make certain that politeness and honor are respected here and especially when in the presence of a woman you do not even know.

The wrist area is one that has been a hot debate recently since it is extremely difficult to conceal this tattoo when in a business or other important to be formal setting. You can have so many other sexier and cuter areas of the body where you can have a tattoo done. In order to keep the cuteness factor in line it is nice to select a tattoo that speaks of your thoughts and beliefs. A great example for a sexy tattoo is a lioness with a cub or maybe even my name stenciled across the woman's stomach, Ronnie's!

Introducing...Dirtbird!

Occasionally in my wanderings, I will meet not just tattooed people, but tattoo practitioners, and often those visiting from outside of New York City.

So it was no surprise, when I approached a gentleman across the street from where I work, at 31st and 7th, to learn that I was talking to an artist.

Working out of Punkteur Tattoos & Piercing in Joplin, Missouri, Derek "Dirtbird" Wieberg estimates he has 130-150 hours of work inked on his personal canvas.

With so much to choose from, he offered up this piece, on the right side of his neck:


It seemed fitting, considering his name.

Dirtbird praised the artist, Rick Pierceall at Karma Tattoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has done all of his throat work.

Considering it is Two-for-Tattoosday, I'll share this photo as well:


That's not Dirtbird, but it's his handiwork! The owner of this tattoo is Shawn, who had the good fortune to be inked by Dirtbird. They collaborated on the design together.

Thanks to Dirt Bird and Shawn for sharing their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Tune in tomorrow to see a tattoo from Katie, aka Mrs. Dirtbird!

Pink Tattoos

Starting from the top down, here is what is known to be just a partial list of Pink's tattoos:
  • A tribal musical note behind her left ear
  • A bar code reading "1 9879-11299-1 3" on the back of her neck
  • On her left shoulder, a guardian angel
  • On her left arm: a portrait of her dog Elvis, the words "Sir Corky Moore" and a date, a broken heart on the inside of her left elbow
  • A razor blade on her left wrist (inside)
  • A red star on her left hand
  • On her right wrist: the words "What Goes Around Comes Around", and the words "True Love"
  • A symbol for love and a red heart on her lower stomach
  • On her left leg: dragon on her thigh, the words "Mr. Pink" on her inner thigh, a Japanese symbol for good luck on ankle
  • A Japanese symbol for happiness, a frog and two other unknown symbols on her left foot
  • On her left and right big toes: a red heart on each
  • Dog tags representing her brother and dad on her right ankle
  • A Chinese symbol representing infinity above her right ankle

Of course it is believed there may be more ink on Pink's body, but these are the tats that are confirmed.





Scarlett Johansson Tattoos

Scarlett Johansson tattoos are beautiful, just like her. The sun over the sea tattoo on her arm reflects her personality and her beauty: radiant like the sun and romantic like the sea at sunset.

Did you like Scarlett Johansson tattoos? then have a look at all the other celebrity tattoos, some of them are really amazing (either too beautiful or just atrociously awful ;) )

Ride the Cyclone!

In college we had a game room at the Student Union.

I claimed to be a master at Arkanoid, but would occasionally play pinball. Earthshaker was fun, but there was another, carnival-themed game that would often beckon, "Ride the Cyclone!" It was, naturally, called The Cyclone.

Fast forward ten years and I would be residing in Brooklyn, home to Coney Island and the original Cyclone.

Despite having been in close proximity a number of times, I've never gone for a ride.

I was reminded of this back in September when I met Matt at the top of the escalator at the Penn Plaza Borders store.

He shared this amazing tattoo:


This is, of course, the Cyclone.


Matt is working on a Coney Island/"Carnie" theme, having lived in Brooklyn most of his adult life. Thus, the Astroland tower behind the Cyclone in the tattoo. Next up: the Wonder Wheel and the Parachute Jump, other Coney Island attractions.

He sent along a photo of the tattoo when it was initially finished:


Matt credits this tattoo to Ping at Village Rock Tattoo in Manhattan.

Thanks to Matt for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Pee Wee Herman Tattoo

Pee Wee Herman is a rather iconic figure in many of our childhoods, but really, a tattoo of Pee Wee?

Not to mention, a bizarre twisted cartoon version, of the artist formerly known as Paul Reubens.

Something Girly This Way Comes

I met Nadya one afternoon in the beginning of October in Borders on Penn Plaza.

She shared this tattoo, which covered up a date she had initially inscribed on her arm:


Nadya told me that she wanted something "girly".

What I found most interesting about this tattoo is that when I asked her who the artist was, she told me it was her father. I can't imagine tattooing my own daughter. I would be too nervous!

Thanks to Nadya for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday.

Traci Lords Cross Ankle Tattoo


Traci Lords is an American actress, producer, director, writer and singer, featured in movies such as Cry-Baby, Tommyknockers and Frostbite.

Traci Lords has a tattoo located on her left inner ankle, and the design appears to be a cross and flower combination.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In honor of the holiday, I am sharing this, my newest tattoo, located above my knee on my right thigh:


This was done at Hand of Glory in Brooklyn yesterday as part of the shop's $75 Thanksgiving Tattoo Special and was sponsored by Troll Skin, produced by Skin Actives Scientific.


For those of you just tuning in, check the pre-post here, which includes all the Thanksgiving flash designed for the occasion. I asked readers to vote on which tattoo to get, and this one sneaked out a narrow victory over the traditional Native American profile.

I like this design because it combines a lot of traditional tattoo elements and delivers an image with a sociopolitical subtext. We have the traditional American flag and handshake designs, but the added element of crossed fingers serves as a reminder that, despite apparent good intentions, there was subsequently a historical betrayal of that initial good will.

But that's just one perspective, of course, and the Thanksgiving holiday focuses on the positive in our society. The mere existence of the tattoo reminds me to be thankful, which I alluded to in my original post.

I was fortunate enough to have Brian Faulk as my artist again. He had inked my Friday the 13th tattoo last August, and I appreciate that he works quickly and concisely.

Brian Faulk at Work
It was nice, also, that this design was one of his contributions to the flash sheet, as he was kind enough to embellish slightly on the original design, and it always seems better when an artist is tattooing his or her own design. As for the idea behind it, he was trying to represent graphically a broken treaty. I'm extremely pleased with the end result.

In consideration for their sponsoring this tattoo, I will be exclusively using Skin Active's product, Troll Skin Aftercare over the next two weeks as the tattoo heals. I can already say I am pleased with the aftercare cream because it is a lot less messy than the ointment I am used to using within the first 72 hours after getting a tattoo.

I'll report back then on how their product held up compared to the regiment I've followed in the past.

I want to thank all of the readers who voted for designs, and for everyone who reads and supports the site.

And thanks again to Skin Actives for helping make this tattoo possible, to Brian at Hand of Glory, and to my family, at home in Brooklyn and across the U.S., for their support

Best Tattoo Fonts For the Lettering Design of Your Text Tattoos








Text tattoos are very hot and trendy these days as a lot of tat enthusiasts opt for words, short quotes, meaningful sayings and even lyrics from a poem or song as designs for their ink. Having texts tattooed on one's body is a good alternative as they can convey powerful and strong messages. With an image, one associates it with symbolism; with words, the meanings can be direct and straight to the point.
One primary concern for text tattoos is what fonts or style of lettering to go for. One very popular type is the script fonts which looks like it has personal touch because its similar to calligraphy and actual human handwriting. They are perfect for short and expressive texts. Designs vary from flowing scripts to rounded ends and elegant swirls to light-hearted types.
Old English font is being used by those who wants to have some medieval forms or historical flair to their text tattoos. This font belong to the blackletter family, often referred to as "gothic". It has a distinguished formal look and commonly used in certificates. Famous celebrity with english font tattoos include musicians Tommy Lee Jones and Travis Parker.
Celtic fonts contain Celtic looking alphabet usually rounded or angular. They are great match for tattoo designs with Celtic theme like the armbands or tribal ones. Other styles of fonts used for tattoo are graffiti, gangster, blade, classic roman and even those with added characters like speedy and flame style. Other cool designs which are becoming a favorite are the typewriter style font which are very readable and looks really fresh and preppy.
There are a lot of websites online where one can find free font tattoos so they can preview the design first before going for one. When deciding , one has to make sure that it will match the personality as well as the message being conveyed in the tattoo. Even more importantly, pay attention to correct spellings or grammar within the text of the tattoos.

Dragon Tattoo Movie






The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first of a trilogy based on the Swedish novels of Stieg Larsson. As I have not read the novels, I cannot comment on their transition to the big-screen. This film, however, is excellent as a stand-alone and is very well executed in nearly every aspect. I very much look forward to the rest of the trilogy which has already been filmed and released.
The story, set in Sweden, follows Mikael (Michael Nyqvist), a journalist facing prison after being set-up, and Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace), a hacker on probation with a mysterious and troubled past. Their paths cross in the quest to solve a 15 year old cold-case disappearance. During which they encounter many twists, cover-ups, and close calls. The films structure and proceedings remind me of David Fincher's Zodiac (2007), in that it is meticulously paced and focused more on the investigators, rather than the villain. So much so, that it is impossible for anyone unfamiliar with the novel to determine who the villain is prior to it being revealed. The twist/surprise is effective due to a lack of heavily foreshadowing rather than misdirection and deception. The audience discovers the villain simultaneously with the on-screen characters.
Originally (& rightfully) entitled Män som hatar kvinnor [Men Who Hate Women], there are some heinous actions depicted against women, especially Lisbeth. Including two (very) intense and disturbing rape scenes. Although they are not entirely gratuitous, they have a lasting, repulsive impact on the viewer. Credit goes to the director, and actors, for not pulling any punches and portraying the sadistic acts forcefully and realistically.
Swedish actress Noomi Rapace's portrayal of Lisbeth is astonishing and stands-outs in a film full of strong performances. Played with an edge, Lisbeth is often teetering on the border of sanity and despondency. While her problematic past is only hinted at, her incertitude towards the law and men is obvious and understandable. The most striking feature of Lisbeth is her eyes, intensely full of enmity and dejection. Mikael on the other hand is the polar opposite of Lisbeth, full of sympathy and righteousness.
Mikael and Lisbeth share a complicated bond and their relationship is handled deftly. Mikael falls in love almost instantaneously, Lisbeth however is reluctant. Understandable given her previous history with men. Their romantic link is filled with subtleties and dispassion, avoiding most clichés and expectations.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, along with Let the Right One In, is another film coming out of Sweden to achieve world-wide acclaim in recent years. Due to their success, I expect a sudden rise in Swedish cinema releases to follow. If the quality of the films stays consistent, Sweden will emerge as a foreign cinematic powerhouse.

Mari's Prayer, with a Twist of Math

I met Mari in front of Madison Square Garden on a sunny day in October. How could I not stop and ask her about this tattoo?


Mari explained that this is an Ananda prayer, that her friends were meditating on it for a week.

The text, which is attributed to Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, reads:


Make me thy butterfly of eternity.

I burnt my past. I ignored the foreboding seeds of sprouting destiny. I waded through the strewn ashes of past & future fears.

I am the eternal present. I tore to shreds the cocoon of ignorance with the sharpness of my will.
I am thy...butterfly of eternity, sweeping through immeasurable time. The beauty of my nature-wings I spread everywhere, to entertain everything. Suns & stardust are spread on my wings. Behold my beauty! Cut all the silken threads of thy shrouding folly: follow me in my flight to myself.


The butterfly symbolizes transformation, a phase everyone goes through at one point or another in time.

Also among her twenty-two tattoos is this formula at the top of her arm:



Mari explained she loves math and generalized that, with this equation, "you can generate anything in the universe". In theory, at least. Here, it gets a little hazy for me. Part of this tattoo contains "f(z) = z^2 + c" which is described as a complex function. Then there is the part that equates the square root of -1 to the value i. This is a formula for an imaginary number. I'm bowing out here, knowing there's no way I'll be able to explain this part of the tattoo adequately. Readers are welcome to try in the comments section, below.


Mari's work was inked by Kevin at The Tattoo Shop in Lansing, Michigan.

Thanks to Mari for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
