Tattoo shops

Many people throughout the world have tattoos, but what do they all mean? People get tattoos to remember a loved one who has passed, the birth of their children, or even just because they think it looks cool. Most of mine have a meaning behind them, but three just serve as fillers and that I liked the design. A couple I even let the artist change a little so that it would fit and look better, which I liked all three times this happened.

When it comes to tattoo shops, the signs they use to advertise their shop comes in many different varieties, depending on the main style of tattooing they may do, or maybe just what part of the country it's in or even differ by cities. Some shops I have seen have a Sailor Jerry style to them, and a couple others actually have more of a hospital feel to them, which offers a clean feel to it, but at the same time gives me a weird feeling about being in an actual hospital.

"The rose was my drawing, I wanted to get it because it's completely original and symbolizes me. The sleeve is Rob Zombie's artwork from "Beavis and Butthead Do America." I love Beavis and Butthead, as well as  Rob zombie, so that one's a given. The tattoo on my shin is also my artwork, I drew the raven and the tombstone from inspiration from the movie "The Crow." The Metallica ninja-star symbol and lyrics went with it just another thing completely original that I drew, because it symbolizes me and things that I love."
