It seems that our hen night temporary tattoos have already made their way into this particular hen party, and I’m sure you’ll agree they look great!

We want to see more of your hen night pictures, especially if they involve our fantastic tattoos. A party just isn’t a party until you start tattooing everyone in sight; armed with a cloth in one hand and a camera in the other!

Send your photos to mytat@tattoofashion.com

In the meantime, check out our superb Hen Night Temporary Tattoos so you can start to prepare for the big night out.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Pop princess Kylie Minogue won’t be asking herself “Je ne sais pas pour quoi?” after her boyfriend, Andres Velencoso Segura – the Spanish Supermodel – has expressed his love by having her name tattooed below his hip.

What she may ask herself, however, is what will happen to the tattoo if and when they break up? A close source to the Aussie singer has retaliated to people commenting on the 10-year age gap, by stating “Andres knows how insecure the 10-year age gap makes her feel and this gesture has really boosted her happiness.”

We certainly hope so. With so many celebrities having tattoos applied to express their undying love and lust to the world, we just hope that Kylie and Andres go the distance, or there could be some “tears on my pillow”. Well, maybe not…

Well, it may well be for Lindsay Lohan. After her very public split from DJ lover Samantha Ronson recently, the Hollywood socialite has got herself a new tattoo as part of her rehabilitation.

The 22-year-old actress has had the words “Everyone’s a star and deserves the right to twinkle,” surrounded by yellow, blue and green stars inscribed on her wrist.

The words, once spoken by dazzling starlet Marilyn Monroe, is yet another tribute by Lohan who last year recreated Monroe’s famous 1962 nude photo shoot for a New York-based magazine.

We think that Lohan is a star, but let’s just hope that she doesn’t twinkle too bright and burn out…..

We probably all know someone who has either a Chinese or Mandarin character for a tattoo, as these designs are perfect for illustrating a name of a loved one or a favourite saying with an air of mystery.

In Asia, however, the trend is the exact opposite as the tattoo population are choosing English characters and translations due to it being more appealing, both aesthetically and stylistically.

Zhang Hui, who lives in Beijing, has the name of his ex-girlfriend in Roman letters between his shoulder blades. “It’s better looking and is simpler than Chinese,” he said.

It is only in the past few years that tattoo parlours have become more mainstream in China’s capital, and although the industry is still unregulated, it is thriving with scores of tattoo enthusiasts now making the most of the fad.

Some of our favourite pop stars, including Britney, Justin and Angelina sport Chinese-themed tattoos, while celebrities in the East are opting for English and Greek letters to exhibit to the world.

Whatever your preference, we just love the fact our alphabet is in such high demand!

There is rarely a day goes by that a celebrity presents the world with a new tattoo, and one that either causes debate or ridicule!

So, when we heard that Rihanna, the 21-year-old R’n’B singer, has had an image of gun added to her growing collection of tats, we wondered whether it was just a cheap shot at gaining some media attention.

The tattoo, which depicts a gun and is located under her arm on her rib cage, is Rihanna’s fourth and joins an existing Maori design on her right hand and “Shhh” on her finger.

Her tattoo artist, Bang Bang, said: “I really wanted to put it here…she loved ’em! But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much…and they pay the bills!”

Let’s just hope Rihanna hasn’t shot herself in the foot with this one….(sorry)

People will go to great lengths to make some cash, and when it involves tattoos, we like to tell you about it! So, when we found out that a tattoo artist offered his bald head as potential advertising space to raise money to clear his debts, it did make us smile.

Thomas Tanriverdi, an established tattoo artist from Coesfeld, Germany, was so concerned about his mounting financial problems that he thought he could raise the 50,000 euros (£53,000) by auctioning his cranium online to the highest bidder.

Unfortunately for Tanriverdi, the bids only reached a miserable 355 euros, and rather than give up on his quest altogether, he decided to restructure his initial proposal. With the new opening price of 500 euros, he now has renewed optimism due to interest from a number of Internet shops and tattoo companies.

We understand that his noodle is still for sale and is willing to take nearest offers. Watch this space, or his head, I guess….
 

When we heard that Barbie was celebrating her 50th birthday this year we imagined a glamorous, limited-edition doll that parents could buy their children to love and cherish forever.

Well, not exactly. To mark this momentous occasion toy maker Mattel will launch the ‘Totally Stylin’ Tattoos Barbie’ in California this month, which comes with 40 miniature tattoo stickers that can be placed all over her body. The box-set also includes a faux tattoo gun and temporary tats that children can apply to themselves.

The landmark anniversary of one of the world’s most well known and collectable dolls has caused controversy among parents who have made their thoughts clear on a host of blogs in America, with one mother stating that “’Totally Pierced Barbie’ would be the next to roll off the assembly line”; while another claimed that we could soon see “’Divorce Barbie’, who would take possession of Ken’s accessories.”

We just hope and recommend that children use the tattoos responsibly - at least for Ken’s sake!

We don’t think that any animal should ever be tattooed, but we wanted to share this bizarre and, quite frankly, unethical story of a cat that received a new body design from its owner.

Mickey, a rare Canadian Hairless breed, more commonly known as a Sphynx cat, spent three hours under local anesthetic while the vivid Tutankhamun tattoo was being inscribed to his chest.

His unnamed female owner who lives in Moscow said: “I’m delighted with the design and I wanted something different for the times we live in.”

Animal rights campaigners, however, condemned the act as “barbaric” and are concerned that further controversial body enhancements would catch on with rich pet owners in the West.

We also believe that pets shouldn’t be used as fashion accessories, so if you want to see a beautiful, colourful Egyptian design – go to a museum!

We love it at Tattoo Fashion when celebrities get new tattoos, particularly when they hit the headlines.

Peaches Geldof, unruly daughter of Sir Bob, has constantly roused the press with her ample body motifs, and after sunbathing topless on a beach in South America recently, has exposed her full tat portfolio to the world! 

The majority of the 20 designs are references to ex-boyfriends and her new addition, the words ‘Ex Valentine’ - relating to old flame Faris Badwan, front man with The Horrors – just reinforces how careful she should be when selecting both men and tattoos in the future!

But, we think as long as she’s happy and enjoys getting tattoos then good on her!

We love Beck’s tattoos here at Tattoo Fashion and we like to keep tabs on any new additions to his body art. His recent tat, however, hasn’t gone down too well in the Beckham household as he allegedly ignored Posh’s appeal not to have anymore.

As Becks was parading his football skills during a training session for AC Milan in Dubai, he was also parading his new biblical proverb design under his left arm which translates: “My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart”. 

The latest pictures also display a wing-shaped tattoo on the inside of his upper left arm, and this slightly unclear cherub pattern could be mirroring the same design on his right arm.

Either way, we think his new tats look great - even if a certain ex-Spice Girl disagrees….
