Each Rose Symbolizes A Year Of Beckham Marriage

Awe, nothing says love like permanent body art.  David Beckham is not only totally hot, he’s also romantic!  For his 10 year anniversary with wife Posh, he got a tattoo on his arm of a ring of roses, each one representing a year of marriage.  Awe!  Although Posh appreciates the gesture, according to DailyMail.co.uk, she’s hoping that the ink ends here.  It seems that she’d like to actually see some Beckham skin, not just ink.  Plus, now the little Beckham boys are asking when it’s their turn to get inked.  Oh boy!  Sounds like trouble could be brewing in Beckham’s house if he doesn’t control his body art obsession.  Don’t worry David, you can stay with me if Posh gets pissed.  Check out the entire article here.

Even Celebrities Have Tattoo Typos

Panettiere Victim of Body Art Blunder

I think that no matter what tattoo you decide to get, you want to be completely confident that it’s the right one for you.  What I mean, is that you should take time to explore designs, think about body placement, and of course….of course….triple check the spelling if you choose a word or phrase.  I would say that this is especially critical if you want words in a language you don’t understand.  At least that’s what I would do.  Well, not everyone is as cautious as me, because I just found an article that says Hayden Panettiere of Heroes fame, is the latest celebrity victim of a misspelled tattoo.  Turns out she chose an Italian phrase that means “to live without regrets”…sounds really nice.  But one of the words is spelled wrong.  Maybe Panettiere did triple check the spelling, and maybe it was the fault of a tired or distracted tattoo artist.  Whatever the reason, this is not the first celebrity body art blunder.  David Beckham’s tattoo “Victoria” was misspelled in Sanskrit and Britney Spears’s Chinese tattoo “Strange” is supposed to say “Mysterious”.  Whoops!  I wonder if these stars have any “regrets” about their ink now.  Check out the entire article here.

Tattoo Addictions

Posted by admin on April 28, 2009

Some People, Like Beckham, Can’t Stop At Just One

People can become addicted to almost anything, drugs, sex, and gambling are the norm, but then there’s also addictions to video games, tanning, and cosmetic surgery.  Many of my friends who have tattoos didn’t stop at just one, so it doesn’t surprise me that people get addicted to body art too.  However, I’ve never been addicted to anything so it makes me wonder why people get addicted to something that so many people say is “painful”.  Well, an article on OneIndia.com explores this topic and interviews many tattoo enthusiasts to get their opinions.  As one addict says, “I don’t know what is great about tattoos, but more than anything I get a kick out of it. I love the way it pains… the way it punctures my skin finally leaving the ink with a stain, some thing that will remain with me for the rest of my life.”  Okay, so I guess some people like pain.  Then there’s a woman who loves the idea of having something permanent on her skin that she can keep forever.  I get that.  As the article explains, what people become addicted to is the exhilarating feeling they get when endorphins are released, which are the body’s natural pain relievers.  Interesting!  Check out the entire article here.
