Bird Tattoo Designs

Bird tattoos are one of the oldest tattoo designs of the Western world. Thanks to the old school revival, they are in vogue again. Most popular are swallow tattoos, followed by phoenix tattoos.

Frank's Anvil

When someone is "not sure" how many tattoos they have, the one they do offer up can seem a bit random.

Take Frank, for example, who volunteered this anvil for us here at Tattoosday:


Why an anvil? "I'm a big Looney Tunes fan," he told me. The anvil, falling from great heights, is often a cartoon catalyst for one of those big expanding bumps on the head of say, Wile E. Coyote, for example. Thus the name on the anvil, ACME, which was said coyote's chief supplier of items designed to aid in the capture of the Roadrunner.


This particular piece was inked by Jae Connor at Electric Lotus Tattoo in Boonton, New Jersey. Work from Electric Lotus has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Frank for sharing this nostalgic tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Tribal Rose Tattoos

Many people may think of a rose as being a tattoo for women only, but that is not the case.Because a rose can either be made into a feminine or masculine design, rose tattoos are one of the most universal tattoos available.

Rose is the universal symbol of beauty.The rose denotes eagerness and liveliness and also devotions and love.In Christian cultures, roses have been used as symbols both for Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. French Poet Jean Richepin quoted the following lines.

this is not necessarily true with rose tattoos. In fact, the rose tattoo has an incredibly rich history and expresses a great depth of symbolism. For instance, in the 1500s rose tattoos were given to prisoners who were about to be executed.

Nowadays, the significance of a rose tattoo can be whatever the wearer chooses it to be. Often linked with romance, beauty and love, they can also represent the memory of a dead loved one or hold a profound religious association—the red of a rose symbolizing the blood of Jesus Christ.
