Real Tattoo Reality

Over the last three decades Ed Hardy has been transforming tattooing into fine art.

In 2004, the Godfather of Tattoo teamed with fashion design maverick Christian Audigier to create the hottest tattoo swag from intimate apparel, signature tat-t-shirts, and the newest invasion about to hit Ed Hardy Home Collection featuring tattoo artwork bedding and bath designs.

This August 2008, Ed Hardy launches his tattoo designs on towels, shower curtains, and rugs as starters.

Ed Hardy’s tattoo artwork inspired label has sparked yet another explosive trend in the tattoo industry. 

Hmmm, think about how much easier it would be wearing tattoo designs on clothing rather than on the skin… and how much less tattoo regret and tattoo removal would be going on.

Some quotable sayings and words of wisdom to consider avoiding tattoo regret.

Angelina Jolie’s lower stomach tattoo reads “Quod me nutrit me destruit,” in Latin translates “What nourishes me also destroys me.” At one point perhaps getting tattooed replenished her soul, now it seems her soul is more than fertile.

“If your inner energy is misdirected, so will your whole life be.” C. Astrid Weber
So, if tattoos are truly intended as external representation of one’s inner voice, thinking twice about the words eternally written on one’s skin for the world to read might be a good idea… yeah think?

“Flesh goes on pleasuring us, and humiliating us, right to the end.” Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966.  Well put and indeed exactly the point I am trying to make.

“The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.” Rita Mae Brown, Venus Envy   Tattoo trends are like fashion and believe it or not they fade, but the regret is long lasting and out of style.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, but don’t write what you feel on who you are.”
Ava Virtue, Tattoo Removal Reality

Does having a tattoo feel like wearing the same dirty shirt every day… for the rest of your life? 

No wonder why people have tattoo regret and remove tattoos  or get cover-up designs over the original ink.  How boring would it be to wear the same shirt everyday? So Totally Boring!  Change it Up.
