Without having any myself, I am a
big fan of tattoos both as a form of visually embellishing your body and as a
method of communicating something important about yourself, your life or
experiences.
That is to say I’m not going to look down on somebody who has a
tattoo just because it looks pretty and cool and doesn’t necessary mark
something monumental. I’m also going to be impressed and appreciate a tattoo
that has an emotionally charged signification.
I guess I see tattoos as a
permanent jewelry – that one that you never take off (because is either too
beautiful or it was a gift from a loved one or both).
I’m also someone with a very low
pain threshold but most importantly someone who doesn’t have a good relation
with the word “permanent” so I’d never had the guts to get a tattoo. This hasn’t
stopped me to collect hundreds and hundreds of photos as visual inspiration and
to research tattooing as my life depended on it.
I thought I should share this interest
of mine with all of you!
We’re going to start small, with
little tattoos for the ones that aren’t ready for big chest or shoulder pieces,
full sleeves and even leg pieces (but we’re getting there).
Many of them are part of the fashion trends that affect even the tattooing world and are generally worn as a permanent accessory.

They may be considered too cliché
by the hardcore tattoos’ lover, but I find them cool, even ironically timeless:
anchor, birds, small quotes or words, crosses, dandelions, crosses, feathers, dreamchacers
- they do express the current popular consciousness and taste.
I’ve made some thematic tattoos collages
that I hope you’ll like (tell me in the comments section which one you like/dislike):
I adore the placements of all these relatively small birds tattoos!
A small, meaningful tattooed quote is always a good idea, but be very careful with the style/font you choose and the placement - they can make or break such a tattoo.
I love all of these, the ones saying: "I refuse to sink" and "with every heartbeat" are really beautiful. Check the spelling - a single wrong/missing letter and you'll be a certified dummy forever or at least until the laser removal treatment:))))
These tattooed birds are adorable and I love the small birds flying towards the ankle!
"I am the architect of my own destruction" and "wanderlust" are two quotes I'm really relating to - I love those two tattoos, the font, color and placement are perfect!
Again: beautiful placement!
Some more girly, hippie tattoos! The dandelions are super pretty!
These romantic tattoos have amazing colors and great shadows (the butterflies)!
So, do you have any tattoos? Please share?
Does it mean anything to you? Do you even like tattoos?

some of these are so beautiful, I've been considering some birds or a feather or something.. x
Huge, huge fan of tattoos! I'm planning on getting some myself (a big one for starters, but I need to put some cash aside, kinda hard to do that though :D). These ones are lovely!
I have 5 tattoos and I love them all.Looking forward for my 6th:)
omg, love tattos! I have one small behind the ear, & i adore it!

These are so pretty! I've always adored bird tattoos. you're right about being very selective about the font of quotes and the placement. I have 6 tattoos of my own, each with a significant meaning. I can't even say which one is my favorite and I'm happy with them because they have eternal definitions.
I loove this tattos *:* I want to do all! <3

I don't have any tattoos...yet, but I love them! I'm planning to get a favourite quote of mine on my inner arm that I've wanted for almost two years! Like the lion in the wizard of oz I think I need to visit the wizard for some courage first ha ha :) xx

its better to have small tattoos designs. they are cheap and removed easily if required , gr8 blog
There is something so freeing about having parts of the inside show on the outside. I have a small, light brown bird silhouette on my wrist and a chocolate brown rune on my heel. They are totally my permanent jewelry, and I want more!
