A Venice Beach Hotel Offers Incentive For Getting Inked

On a recent trip to Venice Beach, I discovered quite a cast of characters roaming the boardwalk.  It’s definitely an eclectic crowd including buskers, weight lifters, musicians, skateboarders, ballers, hippies, and families.  Well, I just found an article at CompareCarHire.co.uk that says a Venice Beach hotel is targeting the tattoo crowd by offering an “Ink and Stay Package”.  This means that guests of the hotel, for the remainder of this year, can receive a $100 voucher to get inked by the in-house artist.  But that’s not all…you also get an ice-pack and lotion for healing, a bottle of tequila to numb the pain, plus a $500 bonus if your tattoo says “I HEART HOTEL ERWIN”.  That’s right, the hotel’s called Hotel Erwin and it’s located right on the beach.  I think this is a great offer for body art lovers who are staying in Venice Beach anyway.  Now, if you chicken out at the tattoo parlor, all is not lost…you will still receive temporary tattoos to save-face.  Check out the entire article here.

Simple Steps Can Make Your Needle Time Easier

I just found a great article at Examiner.com that gives tips on how to make your trip to the tattoo parlor a little easier and less painful.  Now, I’m sure some of you tough guys out there can handle the pain just fine…what pain, right?  But for many others, some simple steps can ease the pain that must be endured to get your beautiful body art.  For instance, if you’re prone to fainting, bring a sugary snack with you which can help raise your blood sugar level and prevent you from hitting the floor.  It’s also a good idea to bring a book or ipod to distract you from what’s going on.  And I know that some of you won’t like this tip, but it’s recommended that you arrive sober or else you might get refused a tattoo.  The tips are easy and helpful and you can check out the entire article here.

Kat Von D Launches Tattoo Concealer At Sephora Stores

I’m guessing that no matter how much you love your body art, there are times when you want to hide it.  Whether it be from a potential employer or your boyfriend’s mother, hiding your tattoos just got a little easier than wearing a turtleneck in the summer.  Kat Von D of TLC’s show LA Ink has launched a tattoo concealer at Sephora stores according to People.com.  The product is waterproof and smudge-free and works pretty well according to the picture above.  But it’s quite surprising to me that she’d create a product to hide the thing that’s made her famous, but in a video on the site, she explains why.  Check out the article here.
