Tattoo of the week: Another Beautiful Collage

If you've been following our tattoo of the week posts, you know that sometimes we like to run collages of beautiful minority women with tattoos that we find on the web with no information about them, just for viewing pleasure.  One of our favorite blogs, Fuck Yea Black Chicks With Tattoos, has been great for finding some of our features because when we post images of these beautiful women, if we get… Continue

CoCo & Breezy make their 20/20 collection for outer space

Minnesota was just too lame for Coco & Breezy, 20-year-old fashion designers/ entrepreneurs, who released their eye wear collection 20/20 this year. After feeling like their fashion and style was a little too out of the box for their Minnesota counterparts, last year the sister duo packed up their bags, saved their money, and moved… Continue

Tattoo of the Week: I'm Looking at You, Creep

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you, but there was no one in the room? We can't imagine how much more creepy it would be to have a detailed eye tatted on your arm that would pretty much glare at you whenever you moved your arm up and down. This week we are featuring Aviun Knives, a 20-year-old, artist and college student, who has an all seeing eye on his left forearm as one of his five tattoos. He says it has no literal meaning but got…

Tattoo of the Week: Ballers get tatted, too!



We always appreciate when guys submit their tattoo images for a feature of the week...for some reason we get an overwhelming amount of responses from women (not that we mind). This week's feature is Dev Devious, a 30-year-old self proclaimed "baller" from Jacksonville, Florida. In his submission, he even makes note that he has a 745 credit score (if you want his contact info, we might give it to you). From the looks of it, he…

Tattoo of the Week: Death Be Upon Us



Besides the really amazing calf tattoos representing the ladder of death, this week we are featuring 22-year-old St. Mary from Dallas, TX. St. Mary, who also goes by Sick Boy, is a painter, guitarist, and does non-profit work at a non-profit orphanage. She also has an ink of the word "dead" on her hand that she has practically scrapped off of her skin (read on for more on this procedure). Thanks for your story, Sick Boy, we love the ink. And… Continue

Tattoo of the week: We digg the E-mail

For tattoo of the week, we normally post why we featured that tat for the week, but this week we liked Ariel's e-mail that came with the photos, that we decided just to post the e-mail here. Read for yourself why this ink was chosen, aside from the sick skull and microphone ink.

"Hello. My name is Ariel. I'm 18 years young… Continue

Tattoo of the week: Spread love the Rainbow Way



We love the fact that this week's tattoo of the week feature is keen on the rainbow, how we love colors over here, if you couldn't tell by the site. This week our feature is Ms. 21-year-old, Isake Smith, a Brooklyn native who is currently studying abroad in Granada. She has four tattoos with plans to get more after her experience studying over seas. Our fav is her quote in cursive that says, "No expectations, no regrets," with a nautical star and… Continue
