Awesome Inks: Tattoo Ideas, Inspiration, and Information

The City of Freedom, Mondstadt is considered as a home by many travelers including yours truly. It is where our journey began after all and personally, I like the overall welcoming ambience of the city and its nearby locations. The blacksmith may be a pain to deal with but I let Diona do the talking so I can pretend that we’re dishing out the same sass.  It is home to a myriad of characters making it a goldmine for tattoo inspirations. In this collection, we’ll look at some ink ideas based on these characters from Amber to Venti and everyone in between.   Albedo Known for his alchemical prowess, Albedo is shown on one of his idle animations to be bringing a dead twig back to life. A twig tattoo can symbolize death as a tree is usually associated with life. While it has a somber symbolism, a twig tattoo would be a good idea for those who want to celebrate a life cut short like a family member or a close friend. Ambe r Our cheerful outrider may not be as popular as other charact...

From its release almost a year ago now, Genshin Impact has gained almost a cult following and it’s easy to see why. The music is outstanding and we dare say one of the best in any games. It is easy to play and has enough challenge to keep everyone entertained for hours. The story is evolving and with new regions being released almost every update, there’s plenty of exploration to be done. But the main attraction would have to be the multitude of characters ranging from an edgelord to an overworked secretary.  This rich collection of characters give us plenty of ideas for tattoos for the inked fans and those who would like to get their first needle jabs.   So let’s dive right it and look at some Genshin Impact tattoo ideas starting with Xiao’s Yaksha mask. The hypercarry Anemo character is one of of the most savage identities in the game, built for outputting heavy damage at the cost of his own life even.  The mask in itself looks awesome that even a non-player would certa...

How you view luck would I assume depend on how your life is right now. It is easy to say that we are lucky if are living comfortably privileged lives. It is also easy to blame bad luck when things don't go our way. The only thing we can all agree on is that luck is a social construct. It cannot be established through facts that luck exist. Still, it has not dissuaded generations of human to believe or scoff at the idea of luck. Throughout human history, important events have been attributed to luck and therefore symbols have persisted to this day. There are even entire industries built around the concept of luck. Even trying hard bloggers like this one has spent countless hours wracking their brain to write about it. But what does luck have to do with a tattoo blog? Of course, we're going to highlight some tattoo ideas based around symbols of luck all over the world. Now this is by no means an exhaustive list of lucky symbols in different tattoo styles. We simply want to share ...

The sea is teeming with life and it only make sense that artists draw inspiration from these creatures to create masterpieces. In this post, we'll be looking at a couple of them including one that is fictional.  This octopus one looks great. Below is a better view of that anglerfish tattoo on his side.

From the outside, the tattoo culture looks to be one close knit community.  They have to, right?  Through the years they have been the victim of fear mongering and the stigma that tattoos are for convicted felons only.  The smaller world that we are living in today though has given plenty of people a good glimpse at how the community is really like.  They too can be divided by something like a new style of tattooing. This is happening right now with the whole watercolor tattoo style which is basically emulating the look of watercolor art.  The style is picking up a lot of attention because it does look great, especially when done right. So if it looks great, how come there are artists and collectors who are so vehemently against it? The reasoning why the style should not fly is that it will not hold up well.  It is important to understand that the ink in your skin will not stay that way forever.  It will gradually blot which is why a lot of people ...

Birds will forever be better than men because they can fly, well except for some flightless birds that is.  The fact that flying is usually related to freedom makes birds, especially those that can fly, great subjects for inks or tattoos.  It is therefore not surprising to see countless bird tattoos in different style.  Below are just a "few" of them.
