Lollie’s Lost Love

admin — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:58:40 +0000

i love tattoos & piercings! people are always going to judge you when they see you: for better or worse. everything i have has significance to me: my sleeve & chest are all love imagery. i have a portrait of my grandmother on the inside of my right forearm. if i am being judged for my piercings & my work then they are basing these decisions on hearts, roses & a portrait of my grandmother. not many people are brave enough to wear their soul on the outside of their body. thankfully i have had people in my life that love me & encourage me to express myself. i encourage others to do the same.

Booze, Burlesque, Tattoos and World Domination!

admin — Thu, 17 May 2007 08:59:35 +0000

I think I’ve been facsinated by tattoos for as long as I can remember. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would say a tattoo artist. When I was twelve years old, I wrote an essay about how if only I could get a tattoo, it would help me heal from the passing of my brother, even though before he died, he told me never to get a tattoo on my arm because I would look like a biker. I think I’ve done well in showing everyone how classy and beautiful tattoos can be, and hope to continue reversing the sterotype of the tattooed woman.

Renegade Rollergirl

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 04:26:28 +0000

I am a professional, educated woman, with a real career. Although my best accomplishment has nothing to do with going to school or how much money I can make, it really is being a mom. I play rollerderby with the Renegade Rollergirls in the best league ever; no rules, no holds barred anything goes, any surface any time. I am also part of the first and only Puddin Wrastlin league in Phoenix AZ, The Dirty Darlins of Debauchery,

My life is full and I have met some of the best people in the most unexpected places. I will give you the best advice but hardly ever take my own. I am a very loyal person and a friend that could be with you until the end, but cross me and I will hold a grudge forever. My family always comes first. I talk to my mom almost daily. I love my life and everyone in it. I would never change a thing, because I am only who I am because of my experiences.

I started getting tattooed at age 18. I have more than 95 hours and have been tattooed by Aaron Coleman at Immaculate Tattoo, Todd Ring at Immortal Art, and Mario Desa. My tattoos don’t all “mean something.” My 3 favorite tattoos are my shin which my son picked out, my left foot, it says hate, figure it out) and probably most revealing tattoo is on my chest. My little brother also has the word loyalty on his chest, I kinda love him.

I’m Just a Girl

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:39:36 +0000

I am the one who will tell you how it is and will verbally slap you when you’re being irrational. I’ll drive to your house at 3am because youre having a breakdown, bring you soup when you’re sick, and look past your faults to the real you. I have eternal hope, and physically have my heart tattooed on my sleeve. I am indian but not a doctor nor an engineer. In fact i have a useless art degree instead. I dont speak my native language, but i do speak german.

Yes my boobs are real, and they are my favorite party of my body. I have 13 tattoos and want more. I used to skateboard a lot and have a huge fetish for skaters boys. I used to be a gogo dancer in an s/m club in San Francisco, I enjoy pain and have worked literally every job there is. I get bored easily and am sure i have adult ADD. What was I saying?

Moni Mae

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 07:19:24 +0000

My name is Moni Mae…I am a proffesional model specializing in pin-up/vintage/fetish/film noir pictures…however, I am available for other types of work..I am 21 years old and I reside in San Diego, CA…my heart has always been somewhere between the tattooed punk scene and vintage pin-up classics..and now I have found a way to combine both into a career that I absolutely love!!!I have an amazing boyfriend that has been by my side since the beginning…and we have an adorable pitbull mix together named Molly. I love traveling to new places, meeting new people, hanging out at the beach or lounging at home…I plan on doing this career for many years to come, so keep your eyes peeled Guys and Dolls!!!

TATTOO HISTORY:
My tattoos have no specific meanings…they are just pieces of art that I have drawn out myself and that I find beautiful…One of the best ways I have ever heard tattooes discribed is quoted from an artist at Hwart&Huntington Tatoo Shop ” Why do you ask me what my tattoos mean? Would you go into a persons house and ask them what the paintings on the walls mean? NO because you just know that they are pieces that the person finds beautiful”…my sentiments exactly…my artwork is a reflection of things that I find beautiful…

Laurie’s Extreme Photo Shoot

admin — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 01:40:02 +0000

My name is Laurie and I’m addicted to tattoos. I got my first tattoo when I was 17 right after having my first son. I got 8 of tattoos in that year and I was young and dumb, they were all from a scratcher. I now have a full sleeve and others and am working on getting my chest completed. Almost all of my recent work is from Sean Sweeny of Blue Horseshoe Tattoo in

Hampton, VA. Sean is one of the most skilled artist I’ve met. Prior to getting my recent work I was shy and always scared to be myself. But now I’m around people I love and consider dear friends. People I might have never met if it wasn’t for my ink! I love going to conventions and modeling my ink. I’m always willing to do a photo shoot for whatever the project might be. But I have to admit photo shoots with my best friend are the ones I love best <3 LOVE YA GIRL!! I have 2 sons 17 and 13. I’m part owner of an electrical company and I’m the office manager of that and a concrete company as well.
