TATTOO TUESDAY: AJIA Z.'S BIRTHDAY INK AND MORE!

This is what you're supposed to do on your birthday...


(My new tattoo. Happy birthday to me!)

"Without love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2. This righteous body art belongs to ME (Ajia Z)!!!

 I love it soo much! Lol!

I celebrated my 23rd birthday last month (thank God), and this is what I got for myself (above). As anyone who knows me personally, or any Pisces for that matter, you should be well aware of my obsession with 'LOVE'. The tattoo artist is Dusty Norris from Royal Street Tattoos in Daphne, AL.

The photo below is 1/3 of my other side which was done in 2008 by Medusa (only the HOTTEST artist in the South). I took them both like a WOMAN! Ask the artists. They will confirm it!


(Now, my other tat doesn't have to be lonely.)

IT'S TATTOO TUESDAY, AND YOU'RE OUR VALENTINE, DAMMIT!

It's like a Google doodle for your skin.

This tattoo signifies the lengths we will go to make you happy...

because we LOVE YOU...HARD!

Happy Valentines Day, Kids. 

Love one another (a tad bit less intense than we love you),

and protect yourselves. You know what I mean. 

O_O

TATTOO TUESDAY/HUMP DAY: ZOMBIE BOY, TATTED TO THE MAX.

Zombie Boy for Thierry Mugler.

I know what you guys are thinking. What the hell are you thinking? He is way too tatted up.

Silly kids, you can never be too tatted up as long as you can make room. However, I don't know if Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest has any room left. I've never seen him naked. *wink, wink. 

Creepy or cute? Why can't he be both?
Like a Furby.

So, Zombie Boy got his start in the "Born This Way" video. Now, if you've never seen Gaga's pivotal music video, open a new tab and watch it. You should be ashamed. Anyway, he was all up and through that video. Gaga loved him so much, she got him a job with Thierry Mugler, a righteous combination. Now, he's a model. Yes, this heavily tattooed, hot man corpse has the same job as Tyson Beckford. Personally, I like Zombie Boy way better. He scares me, yet, I find him utterly sexy. 

Even Gaga wants to be him...

Did I mention he's Canadian? Who knew Canada had this potential?! Nice and homely out the window. 

He smiles. Told you!

Additional Stuff:

Zombie Boy Without Tattoos

Zombie Boy for Inked Magazine

Zombie Boy for Auslander

TATTOO TUESDAY: HELLO KITTY PEER PRESSURE.

So, I'm trying to get one of my best friends to get her first tattoo...

...not this one exactly, but something similar.

She's a closet Hello Kitty fan. So, am I, and my goal for the new year (besides finding a steady boytoy) is to get her INKED! Nothing crazy, I mean, it's her first tattoo. I would be the one getting the Hannibal Lecter Kitty. She could get something cute and simple like this...

Awe...

So, cheer me on as I succeed in the ULTIMATE PEER PRESSURE FEAT! Getting my BiFF tattooed for the first time! She shall be an ink virgin NO MORE!

xoxo

A Special TATTOO Thursday!

It's Jerzday! (Yes, I'm watching Jersey Shore right now.)

Anyway, I GOT TATTOOED TODAY! Literally like two hours ago.

CHECK IT!

It's a ram. 'Cause I'm an Aries.

It's no geisha riding a tiger over a rainbow, but I love it. I just wanted something simple and quick as a belated Christmas present. However, I'm sure you guys are more interested in the process...

Tom is putting on the stencil.

The beginning and me trying not to cry
from the pain.

Tom getting into those lines.
He's a genius, BTW.

If you're ever in the Mobile, Alabama area, go to Tattoo Zone on Moffett Rd. across from Hardee's. They will definitely hook you up, for sure!

IT'S TATTOO TUESDAY!

(featuring my dudette, Jasmine H.) 


I know a lot of Jasmines, but she is one of the coolest.

This is Jasmine.
That awesome jasmine flower arrangement on her shoulder is her tattoo.
(Look at her trying to get her model on!)

She got her shoulder inked back in July. It's a garland of jasmines on Jasmine (*giggle to self). I have to say, this is a cool and unique place to put a floral tattoo. 

It's like a permanent accessory.
It goes with everything. 

Here's a closeup.
Look at the pretty awesome detail.

She also has a bonus tattoo she would like you guys to see...

Love it! Somebody trying to get their pinup on!

TATTOO TUESDAY: PIN UP EDITION

Lindsay's Playboy Cover. I love that chair,
and the retro style Photoshopping.

In mark of Lindsey Lohan's Playboy issue release (the cover above), despite the leak, I present you guys with my most favorite pin up tattoos.

By the way, I saw the spread, and it's pretty classy, in terms of nakedness. She's doing an homage to Marilyn Monroe, whom she's obsessed with. I get it, and it's cool. Go, Lindsay! Don't forget to just say no! You need to get back to being awesome.

Anyway, I've wanted a pin up for years, but I have yet to decide where this foxy lady should go. However, here are some great tattoos for inspiration:

A Betty Paige one.
I love her. Her hair is iconic.

Vargas girl tattoo.
Looks like it was painted on.

I love this pose, and the clever name. 

I'm thinking my pin up is going to be a Betty Paige meets Dorothy Dandridge meets Lady Gaga (style wise) mash up. Great minds...

Tattoo Tuesday: The Adventure Time Obsession Club.

Adventure Time! C'mon and grab your friends. Let's all go to mystic lands. Jake the dog and Finn the human. The fun that never ends...Adventure Time!

It's Finn & Jake!
I want something simple like this one.

Yes, as you all can see, I am completely obsessed with Adventure Time. All of my friends know about it, and they think I'm crazy. What do they know, right? Anyway, to commemorate my love of Finn & Jake and The Land of Ooo, I want to get a tattoo. (That rhymed!)

I see others have beaten me to it, which is a good thing. I know what to expect if I decide to make this happen. 

Here are some others I found:

Adventure Time sleeve (front).

Adventure Time sleeve (back).

Lady Rainicorn. She only speaks Korean. How cool is that?!

Hopefully by Christmas time, I will make a decision. I know this is for sure...I WILL be getting a tattoo before the month is over.

For more Adventure Time go to: Cartoon Network or Frederator.

It's Tattoo Turkey Day...I mean Tuesday!

My fourth favorite holiday is coming up on Thursday...you guessed it! Thanksgiving! Or as I like to call it, the last day of peace between the Native Americans and pilgrims before the pilgrims gave them syphilis and smallpox among other things, which is why I only celebrate this holiday for the food. However, let's not dampen the mood.

It's freaking Tattoo Tuesday!

To show how thankful I am for all you guys, here's a tattoo of a turkey.

Yum. I can just see him all basted now.

Happy Thanksgiving Guys!

It's Tattoo Tuesday! Connecting the Dots.

Check this...

Interactive body art is the future.

I'm not sure yet if this tattoo is cool or stupid. The people in my head are still debating this one. I like it because it's clever. It's like a mystery tattoo left up to those who want to figure it out. I like that. The fact that it's a giraffe is what's bothering me. Giraffes are cool as animals, but as tattoos...seriously?! Why couldn't it be something cool like Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force (I'm totally watching it right now!) or a bunny. Bunnies are way cooler as tattoos.

Basically, I think connect-the-dot tattoos are cool. I would do something like this. It's a convo starter. It gives people something to do when they see you. It's a great way to make friends and meet guys, which I always love. However, when they connect the dots, what would they get?

Hmm....

It's Tattoo Tuesday! Breakups Edition!

To mark this glorious day of the pending divorce between Kim K. and Kris H., let's go over the reasons why you should never get a bf, gf, man-friend, cutty-buddy, husband, or wife's name tattooed on your body. (Not that they did it, I hope.)

1. Just because you like someone doesn't mean that their name needs to be branded into your skin. Get them a real gift like a gift card to Macy's or a body wash set from Bath & Body Works.

2. Showing your love for someone by tattooing it on you doesn't mean it's going to last forever like the tattoo will, because just like that tattoo, one day you may have to remove the person you claimed to love so much six months ago.

3. If you haven't been dating and living together (simultaneously) long enough to be considered common law, then you need to consider getting a different tattoo like a skull or a bunny.

4. The divorce rate in America is like 1 in 2, which is 50% (maybe higher), so if you haven't been married for....to be on the safe side....for 3 years or more, don't even think about tattooing each other's names on your bodies. Marriages these days are fickle and fleeting. Within the year, you're back on the dating scene.

5. If he or she has cheated on you, doesn't matter how many times, DON'T DO IT!

6. If you've been engaged for longer than a year, and it's not because money is too tight for a wedding right now, but because maybe one of you is stalling, DON'T DO IT!

7. If you just met this person between yesterday and six months ago, married or unmarried, I know crazy sh*t happens in Vegas, but DON'T DO IT!

8. If your other half treats you like crap on the sidewalk, DON'T DO IT! A couple tattoo very rarely warms a cold heart.

9. If you want to put the tattoo somewhere you can hide it, THAT'S A SUBCONSCIOUS SIGN!!! HELLO!!! DON'T DO IT!

10. If you're the only one getting a COUPLE'S TATTOO, then DON'T DO IT! You're not going to be a couple for long, and you'll be the one who has to live with the result of it every day.

Just remember kids, love is awesome. 

However, few loves last forever, but unfortunately (in this case), tattoos do. 

Think before you ink.

It's Tattoo Tuesday! Robert De Niro Edition!

Okay, so, Muchacha Sucio saw Robert De Niro at Barnes & Noble on 3rd & 54th Street looking at Nooks, and it blew her mind. She tried to get next to him, but some idiot sales guy cock-blocked her from De Niro. RUDE!

So, in spirit of what could have been, I have these really awesome tattoos of Robert De Niro on other people's bodies. They're his biggest fans obviously.

De Niro in Heat. Great Film, BTW.

De Niro in Taxi Driver. Classic.
Done by Mike Devries

De Niro by Cecil Porter.
It could be from Goodfellas or
Godfather. It could go either way. 

Maybe if my friend had a De Niro tattoo, De Niro would have made the sales guy drop a deuce in his pants, or at the least, bought her a scone.

Just a thought.

It's Tattoo Tuesday! Did you miss us? Of Course You Did.

So, I decided to show one of my own for this week's installment.

If you know this drawing, you are an ace of spades in my book. Check it...

Isn't she lovely...of course she is.

Now, if you guessed that this is a tattoo of Picasso's Head drawing, congratulations! No, you didn't win a million dollars, but at least we all know how artistically cultured you are. 

Anyway, here's the real thing...

Head by Picasso

So, Picasso is my most favorite artist of all time. He was so larger than life and versatile. He was above the movements and the genres. He is his own movement, his own genre. His paintings and ceramic sculptures move me to tears, but what I'm fascinated by the most are his serigraph drawings. They are so simple yet so complex. Some drawings are made from a single continuous line which blows my mind, but I mean, it's freaking Picasso! 

He once said, "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."  

God love him.

I'm not 100% on who the woman is in this drawing that is now permanently branded into my arm, but she's quite beautiful as a Picasso. I want to believe that she was one of his great loves, Francoise Gilot, mother of Paloma (the fashionista jewelry designer, love her). It was made around their time together. 

Anyway, I'm sure there will be more Picasso tattoos to come. If you have any tattoos by your favorite artist, and they're good, we want to see them. You could be featured. Excitement!

xoxo

It's Tattoo Tuesday! Whoa!

We're back! You know you missed us. Of course we have a special treat for you.

Look what Ajia Z. found...

Nothing against big girls (I'm not skinny by a long shot), but c'mon?!

Great tattoo bad execution. I hope she never bends over in those jeans.

xoxo
