Little Darling's Ink: Pinups for Pitbulls

Last spring, I met Deirdre, aka Little Darling, as she was leaving Penn Station to cross Seventh Avenue.

I snapped these pictures of her upper right arm:

Deirdre explained that she is the president and founder of a non-profit organization called Pinups for Pitbulls.

The two pups pictured are portraits of two of her dogs, as interpreted by skin artist Jon Clue.

Little Darling invites people to check out her company's website PinupsForPitbulls.org if you are interested in supporting the ongoing effort to help fulfill their mission of working "to educate the public about the history and temperament of the American Pit Bull Terrier and pit bull type dogs [and] to raise awareness about Breed Specific Legislation and Breed-Specific abuse."

One of the ways that Little Darling and her company strive to "reestablish the defamed reputation of pit bull type dogs as America's premier companion animal, war hero, and therapy dog," is through fundraisers and the sale of Pinups for Pitbulls merchandise, such as their annual calendar. Many of these products can be purchased through Amazon (see link below).

Other Pinups for Pitbulls Merchandise can be found by clicking the hyperlink in this sentence.

Thanks to Deirdre for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday, and for waiting so patiently for this post to appear.

Tongue Tattoos

Tongue Tattoos designs are a hot investment these days, becoming more and more well-known than they have ever been in the last. There are countless numbers and maybe a large number of different designs of tattoos to choose from, providing you the opportunity to communicate yourself. Although tattoos are very well-known, the new pattern that is quickly taking impact in the world of tattoos is known as language tattoos.

Although many are not well known with tongue tattoos yet, they are just now beginning to take appearance. They appear to be other designs, although they deal with muscles known as the language. There are tattoos that deal with the complete language, or just a single place. In most cases, those who already have them, select to have their language inked a certain shade. Whether it be pink, fruit, dark-colored, or pink, the language can be inked a wide range of different shades.

The designs that are poplar with language tattoos involve celebrities, tribe function, and other designs and patterns that deal with a location of the language. Stars are well-known with the lower place of the language, near the tip. There are also designs that can be inked further back on the language, near the center of it. As Tongue Tattoos become more and more well-known, more and more designs are integrated.

As far as the process goes, it’s very similar to getting a tattoo on any other part of your body. A tongue tattoos needles puncturing skin, deposit ink into the pores and skin. The needles switch fast, bursting skin and making the pigmentation of ink. The language, just like skin, will take the pigmentation once the exterior has been pierced by the hook. Once the pigmentation of ink are consumed by the language, large will continue to be there for a long time.

Those who have had language tattoos in the last say that they are not very distressing. As opposed to tattoos on skin, the language is a large muscles. A tattoo on the language is often described as a tickling sensation or the sensation of tingling in your lips. When the tattoo artisan does the tattoo, he will normally use a device to carry the language out. If you have ever had a language sharp, you are going to know what it looks like. Once the language is out, the artisan will begin function. The process normally does take very extensive, as extensive you carry still and do not switch around.

If a Tongue Tattoos appears to be exciting to you, the first thing to do is find a tattoo artisan in your place who is knowledgeable with doing them. Not a lot of tattoo designers are well known with language tattoos, as they are just now beginning to exterior. A language tattoo is a bit on the innovative side – something that you just do not see in public each day.

Meghann's Ink Inspired by Nikki McClure

This past November, I met Meghann in Penn Station and spotted this tattoo on her arm:

Meghann explained that this work is based on a paper-cut by an artist from Olympia, Washington named Nikki McClure.

There's no real deep meaning behind this. Meghann is just appreciates the art for art's sake: "I just liked the design a lot. I really like [McClure's] work."

The tattoo was done by Sam Gosson at Oddball Studios in Portland, Oregon.

Thanks to Meghann for sharing this cool work with us here on Tattoosday!

Two weeks to go!

 So these pics are a bit out of order...so bear with me here. Things at Skin Deep have gotten busy! Even working on my days off on friends... Sorry for the delay in posting... the lack of internet where I'm staying and working alot I just haven't gotten around to it.

A celtic design from yesterday

 Kind of dissappointed with how this photo came out, but hopefully you can makeout what it is. This woman got tattooed here at Skin Deep 14 yrs ago and came back to get another one. This design is from a pendant that she aquired in Italy that was blessed by the Pope. Obviously we had to leave out a few things because there was alot of detail in the pendant, but we worked with what we had. This one was a fun challenge considering the detail and shading and working in a stretchy area. Definitely have better ideas on how to approach this the next time around. She was really sweet and sat like a stone.

 Closer view... still a light photo

 Another tourist with her first tattoo... She was really sweet as well. It seems to me that most people if not all people I come across here are super nice and friendly and just so down to earth. Not that Philly doesn't have that, it's just a pleasant change.

 This guy was really cool. He came in for two different tattoos in two days, this was the second. Simple and fun.. I like brush stroke designs like this.

 Some hibiscus action on another visitor to the island... for some reason these flowers never get old. Played around with color combinations and tried to remember how Anna gets her flowers so damn smooth! Need to sit with her some more so I can get my flowers to look like hers.

 This one was a fixer-upper. Dude came in with hideous lettering on the forearm, which was obviously done at a houseparty.... so we did what we could to fix up what he had and added some smoke/wind in it as well. The letters still aren't perfect, but we worked with what he had.

 BEFORE

 Another Rihanna tattoo....in the same location. This girl was really sweet and it was her first one. I really enjoy giving people their first tattoos...not really sure why. Maybe because I had such a crappy experience with my first tattoo, that I would want to give everyone a really good experience so they would want to get more tattoos....

 Lettering on the chest... getting better at stretching in that area. Keeping it simple for now.

 So this made my day... This guy was visiting from Denmark, and wanted a viking holding a beer! He brought this in with him and I was stoked to do it not only because it was a viking tattoo, but because the image is from a Judy Parker flash sheet.... really love her style of drawing...my first tattoo was a piece of her flash as well... We didn't deviate too much from Judy's original design, as it was awesome to begin with. Thanks to the giant Viking man and Judy for making that awesome day possible!

 This photo is a little slanted, but I have to say that to date, this is my favorite tattoo. He was a military guy who saw the owl that I did on Keone in my portfolio and wanted me to put a horned owl on his arm. This was not only a blast to draw, but even more fun to tattoo. Got to experiment with textures and large needles that I hadn't used before... really a good time! He sat like a rock, had good conversation and let me do my thing. It's people like this that make my job worth while. There's nothing better than having someone come to you and let you do whatever you want...just give us an idea. I'm stoked that I'm able to get tattoos like these on awesome people more and more. It will come with time.... I need to do more tattoos like this one...

 This was a late night walkin by another military guy. He came in with an outline already done on his arm of a squid. The linework was ok, not great but ok. He let me color this however I wanted so I had a ball with lots of crazy colors! After looking back at this I think I should have gone over every single line, however I'm hoping it will all blend well when it's healed. Another cool dude as well...he sat well for this although he was a hell of a bleeder... gotta tell myself always to slow the hell down and take my time..

 BEFORE PIC

 Sorry about the dark photo, another military guy for a small jammer.

 I'm going to have Annie come in for a touchup session and better photos so pardon the glare... This one was fun as well, she wanted something to remember her home....

My second attempt at tattooing ribs. Keone's wife Ari was awesome enough to let me do this on her! Definitely a challenge, slowly getting a grip on how to properly stretch the skin in this area...all these years my fellow artist were telling me how this area is a nightmare to tattoo... and they weren't lyin! 

Until next time....
