Make a Scene, Monday!!

TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!

Now that that's out of the way, we wait to cash in on our returns. Most tattoo shops see a spike in appointments during the tax season, so make sure you plan accordingly!

So here we are, another Monday, and a chance to make a scene!

Here's how it works; Email me a picture of a tattoo that you recieved within the Michiana Area!
Let me know the Shop it was done at and the artist who inked you. Then, I'll post the photos on this blog!

Rock on. \m/

April Update!

WOW, this month is flying by!

I have received many emails regarding the status of this blog, and apologize for the lack of posts! Work and finals have been getting the best of me, but I assure you that this page will continue running!

Thank you for your submissions of your tattoos. I will be posting them momentarily. Please, feel free to continue sending your latest work, and tell your friends!

If there is a specific artist in the Michiana area that you feel needs recognition, email me! Also, if you have any tips of your own regarding the tattoo process, I would love to hear from you! In future posts, we can incorporate your views as well!

Thank you for your patience, and as always 'Happy Hunting'!

Electric Rose Tattoo

WITH TWO LOCATIONS in the Michiana area, Electric Rose has much to offer your ink and needle needs. They are open 7 days a week, and walk ins are welcome!

I have had many friends who have had their work done by the artists at Electric Rose, and are very pleased with the results.

Below are photos that were sent to me by Brandon Morey. His ink was slain by Glen at the South Bend Location, within view of the South Bend Regional Airport.

Like any piece, make sure you take the time to consider the individual artist who would be the best fit for YOU. Word of mouth is the Wikipedia way of finding information; Though useful, you can't use it as a legitimate source for a college essay.

Treat your body like it were that essay, and make sure you personally do your own research!

Check out the artists' portfolios online or in person, and HAPPY HUNTING! ☺

Rock on. \m/

Work the Words

Language is a beautiful art that we use every day to communicate with family, friends and people that we do not even know.

When an individual decides to put words on their body permanently, it is important that those words are well thought out, and in a design that you love.

** Ink by Rodney Eckenberger of Wicked Ways

When I first started getting tattoos, I designed objects and symbols that represented a deep meaning to me, such as music related and tributes. Then, after a period where my faith was failing; in myself and in others, I inked the word "believe". Ever since, script tattoos have been one of my favorites.

Again, it is important to find a font that best represents your own personality, as well as what the words are saying. From biblical to poetic..to Disney; Words reflect what one wishes to reveal bluntly to the world.

Many artists can design a font for you in the shop! It is in your best interest to bring them an idea of what you want the font to look like so that they may base the design around your desires.

Some choose ambigrams, which are fancy scripts that say a word or phrase, then read another or a the same phrase upside down.

And then there are those who ink other people's handwriting; Like Amanda for example. She is the ultimate Staind fan, who hurried to get their autographs permanent after meeting the band at a concert.

Tattoos with words can be straight forward with their meaning, or leave more to the imagination. Whether in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Latin, Chinese or your own personal language of love, tattoos are forever. So, make sure that you will always stand by your ink.
