Arm and Cardigan.

Arm tattoo

I love the mix of the vintage looking wool cardigan, chipped nails, jewellery and dainty, feminine tattoo that could quite easily go unseen…I love tattoos that can remain invisible if you wish them to and just add a little interest to your skin.

Custom tattoos by Paul McCartney.

Actress Emma Stone got Paul McCartney to design matching tattoos for her and her Mother. The tattoos commemorate the recovery of her Mother from breast cancer, after being diagnosed two years ago. The tattoo is of two little bird feet, as their favourite song is Blackbird.

This is another beautiful way to think about tattoos as a permanent memory of a time in your life. Translating song words into pictorial representations also provides inspiration to those of us who have not yet been inked and can’t decide what we want…anyone fancy a yellow submarine?

I hope we get to see pictures very soon.

Word-of-mouth

Mouth tattoos don’t last very long. They are extremely painful when applied. But come on admit it…they’re pretty damn cool. Someone is annoying you, just pull down your lip and let your mouth literally speak for itself.

Fuck you.
Fuck you.
