Fetish Friday: The Hottest Tattooed Women

intern — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:33:45 +0000

So far, we’ve featured girls with crazy nails, girls that smoke, girls with hot feet, pale girls and even girls with moles—wow, a lot of girls—but for this Fetish Friday, we are gonna take a look at the hottest girls with tattoos. There’s something to be said about a girl who’s inked. Tats on a chick not only show that she’s badass, but also that she has a high tolerance for pain.

For this Fetish Friday, we didn’t just want girls with one wack-ass “I was drunk in Cancun” tat. Nope, we specifically looked for girls with legitimate body art. We’re talking full arm sleeves, huge tramp stamps…you get get the picture. See below to meet the women who made our list…

KELIS
• Hey, at least she didn’t have “Nasir” permanently etched on her forearm.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

MEGAN FOX
• Bad girl, bad tattoos. Take that as you will.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

KAT VON D
• This was a given. We don’t think anyone can hear her name without picturing her titt—we mean, tatties.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

AMY WINEHOUSE
• Her multitude of tattoos are as classy as she is.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

LIGHTS
• The Canadian singer claims the tattoo down her back is a scene from a Wonder Woman comic. We can’t help but imagine where the story ends…

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

PINK
• She has the tattoos of a rock star, even if she has the chest of an 11-year-old boy.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

RIHANNA
• All that fighting with Chris Breezy got her tough enough to get 11 tattoos.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

ANGELINA JOLIE
• All her tats look good, except that Billy Bob one–good thing she had it removed.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

PERSIA WHITE
• The sexually liberated vegan girl from Girlfriends has that hot afro-tribal thing going.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

JULIA BOND
• The pornstar takes it in (and all over) the back. We’re talking about her ink…or are we?

The Greatest Celebrity Face Tattoos

intern — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:21:23 +0000

Chad “Please Don’t Call Me Mr. Johnson” OchoCinco is back at it again. This time the Bengals receiver released two photos—via Twitter, of course—of what were thought to be two tattoos on his face. On his left cheek (pause) was the state of Florida, and on the right cheek (pause) he had two crosses. Turns out, though, that Carson Palmer’s favorite ball-catcher was just trying to Ashton Kutcher the media, as retaliation for the way he thinks they treat him. Only problem was that homie’s stunt got about as much buzz as a nun’s vibrator.

But after seeing O.C. punk out of putting his face under the needle, we thought it would be a good time to salute those who have been brave enough to take some pricks to the grill. We aren’t really too sure what the story is behind all these tattoos, but they’re all worth a double-take when you see them in the streets…

KAT VON D:
TATTOO: Stars on the side of her face
STORY BEHIND IT: She’s giving you a preview of her heavenly bodies.

GUCCI MANE
TATTOO: Tear drops under his left eye
STORY BEHIND IT: Whether or not there’s a body behind those drops, we’d be crying too if we were lugging around those heavy-ass chains

MIKE TYSON
TATTOO: Tribal symbol on the left side of his face
STORY BEHIND IT: It’s actually a map: Driving Directions To Bankruptcy Court

DANGER
TATTOO: Tiger on the side of her face
STORY BEHIND IT: Until she worked up the nerve to show the world her wild kitty, she figured a a tattoo would have to do.

LIL WAYNE
TATTOO: “Fear God” over his eyelids
STORY BEHIND IT: He was one eye short of being able to rock the WEEZY-F-BABY triclops trilogy, so this was the second choice.

THE GAME
TATTOO: A butterfly, the letters LA, and a red star all in the same spot
STORY BEHIND IT: This is what happens when you ~~bitch out of rocking something feminine and then can’t make up your mind~~ run out of space for tattoos

ANTWAN DIXON
TATTOO: A bunch of different shit all over his face
STORY BEHIND IT: Dixon? His face becomes him.

THE LIZARD MAN
TATTOO: Green lizard scales all over his face
STORY BEHIND IT: White people be craaaaaaazy!

Dan Hazelton’s Spiderman Tattoo Tears It Up

bfred — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:29:57 +0000

Call us nerds, but this Spiderman tattoo done by Milwaukee, WI-based artist Dan Hazelton is one of the dopest things we’ve seen in a long time. Thanks to his expert design, it looks as if the subject’s skin is being torn away to reveal Spidey’s costume. We probably wouldn’t commit to something like that on our own chest, but we’re glad someone did'you know, for the art.

While Hazelton is a season tattoo artist who does a variety of designs, he’s also done some similarly geeky tats featuring Batman and Sonic The Hedgehog. Check out some more of his creations after the jump.

Change Your Tattoos To Match Your Mood

bfred — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 17:20:12 +0000

At the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, researchers have come up with a “programmable tattoo” concept that could someday let you switch your tattoos with a wireless internet connection. This technology uses hair-sized nanotubes embedded in the skin to display an image of your choice. The two main suggested uses are displaying an icon on your cheek that tells everyone your mood, and displaying reminders on your palm to replace the traditionally sloppy pen-to-hand note taking.

Philips is also working on a similar project called SKIN:Tattoo, where your tattoos could respond to senses, like a woman’s touch. After the jump, watch a video example.
