The Journal of Joe The Peacock. Yay.: How To Actually Get A Decent Tattoo (or At Least, Not Get A Bad One) Note: Today, I go to get yet another piece done on my Ghost in the Shell sleeve on my right arm. I figured it was a good day to repost one of the most popular pieces I've ever written on getting a decent tattoo. If you're interested in watching the progress of today's session, check out my Instagram feed, Facebook or Twitter, as I'll be annoying people with photos of the session all day today) So, by this point in my "tattoo career", I've pretty much done everything you can do, both the wrong way and the right way. I've got a full Akira-themed sleeve, I'm working on the second sleeve (which is Ghost in The Shell themed - 1, 2, 3), several calf pieces (soon to be "pant leg" - whatever you call a sleeve on your leg), and some back pieces I hate and will be getting covered very soon.

I can also tell you what are not good reasons People’s tastes in tattoo design has always fascinated me. First, what I consider to be good reasons for getting a tattoo.

Inked Magazine : Tattoo Culture. Style. Art. New Study: Heavily Tattooed Students More Prone to Deviant Behavior By Thaddeus M. Baklinski LUBBOCK, Texas, January 14, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A new study titled "Body Art, Deviance, and American College Students" suggests that people who have multiple tattoos or body piercings are more likely to engage in risky and criminal behavior. The research by Jerome R. Koch, a sociology professor at Texas Tech University, reveals that those who have four or more tattoos, seven or more body piercings, or one "intimate piercing," are far more prone to use illegal drugs, be arrested for criminal offenses, cheat on college work, binge drink, and have multiple sex partners. Professor Koch surveyed 1753 American college students, asking them to report their level of body art acquisition and their history of deviance. "These students," the report states, "are ten times more likely to have an arrest history, a four-fold increase in drug use, other than marijuana, and there's a five-fold increase in having had nine or more sex partners in the last year."

LIPSTICK LONGEVITY photos + post by amy nadine, graphic design by eunice chun How could I not share with our TBD family my favorite trick for keeping clients’ lip colors on all night, long past the red carpet? Some steps may seem a little odd, but they’ve worked for me for years, so I confidently know that they’ll work for you too. Here’s all you have to do: STEP ONE: Apply lipstick or matte lip pencil over the entire lip area. STEP TWO: Blot with a tissue by folding it in half, opening your mouth, placing it in between your upper and lower lips then pressing down. STEP THREE: Load up an eyeshadow blending brush with loose or pressed powder {translucent works best and if you want to invest in the most finely milled powder that feels like silk, this one is my favorite}. STEP FOUR: Apply another layer of lipstick. REPEAT STEPS 2-4 and it should last all night. Related posts:
