Laura Harris Celebrity Tattoos

Laura Harris has one tattoo located on the back of her left shoulder. The tattoo depicts a tribal sun with the astrological symbol for Scorpio inside. (The symbol for Scorpio is a stylized "M" with a tail to represent the scorpion's choice of weapon.) People who have a Scorpio tattoo are usually born in late November or early December, making them born under the sign of Scorpio. Wearing a Scorpio tattoo means that you probably identify with the popular characteristics of Scorpios, including being emotional, passionate, secretive and ambitious. The sun element in the tattoo represents passion, courage and vitality.

Larry Birkhead Celebrity Tattoos

Larry Birkhead has a tattoo on his lower back of Anna Nicole Smith in a cartoon caricature and a copy of her signature. "I have a tattoo on my back so I carry that around. It's a picture of Anna so wherever I go, she goes." He got the tattoo done at Anna Nicole's insistence in December of 2005 while the two were still together, around the time their baby was conceived. "I really didn't want a tattoo and then we argued about it forever. Then finally when I got to the point I wanted to do [it] because I wanted to, then finally she said Okay, don't worry about it.' Then I said I'll do it.' She held my hand when I got it because I'm just the biggest baby around needles and all that. At one point I was like going down for the count and she was feeding me orange juice and candy bars to try to get me to wake up. She's like quit being such a baby. Quit being such a sissy.'"

Larry E. Birkhead (born January 22, 1973) is a former photographer best known for being the romantic partner of the late Anna Nicole Smith. He is best known for the prolonged custody battle of their daughter, Dannielynn, after Smith's death. At the time of Smith's death from drug complications, she was involved with live in lover and law advisor, HowardK. Stern. Stern claimed to be the father of the baby and Birkhead challenged his paternity in a televised custody battle. Two months later, a Bahamian court ruled that DNA testing proved that Birkhead is the biological father. Although Birkhead has had a confirmed sexual relationship with Anna Nicole Smith, there is much speculation about his sexuality. Insiders said that even Smith thought Birkhead was gay and viewed him only as a sperm donor. Still, Birkhead considers Smith as the love of his life even if their relationship was rocky. "If I ever got mad at Anna - if I was at the beach or something, I'd wear surf shorts and I'd pull them up a little bit. She'd say What are you doing trying to hide me back there?' It's crazy. It's something you do."

Harley Davidson Tattoos and Harley Davidson Tattoo Designs

Tattoos have been a major part of biker culture for decades. Ever since rebels started riding the road, popular biker tattoos like Live to Ride, Ride to Live and various gang tattoos that indicated fellowship, brotherhood and sometimes threats of physical violence have been deeply integrated into biker culture and associated with motorcycles and motorcycle aficionados since the dawn of the motorcycle. Due to Harley Davidson's iconic popularity, clever marketing strategies and proudly aggressively American heritage (the company is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin), the Harley Davidson emblem has taken on a life and a meaning of its own outside of the people who buy and ride the bikes. 

Harley Davidson tattoos are somewhat unique as far as biker tattoos go because while they are definitely the realm of Harley Davidson enthusiasts, they are by no means restricted to those who own and ride Harley Davidson bikes. Harley Davidson tattoos often indicate a goal, such as owning a Harley, which can also indicate an individual's desire for a certain degree of security and affluence or the ambition to own one's own business or achieve other goals that will ultimately lead to the purchase of the Harley itself. Harley Davidson tattoos also often express an appreciation for the lifestyle adopted by Harley riders, which tends to be one of freedom and the open road at least on the weekends. To many people, Harley Davidson tattoos have come to symbolize biking itself as well as an affection for the company that makes the bikes or the bikes themselves. However, Harley Davidson's are generally acknowledged to be the ultimate in motorcycle riding and ownership, so there is a general endorsement associated with a Harley Davidson tattoo. 

There are many different types of Harley Davidson tattoos. Generally, the Harley Davidson tattoo integrates the Harley Davidson emblem of a shield with the Harley Davidson logo emblazoned on it. Sometimes, people just get the shield itself, with the trademark white, black and orange color scheme. This is very popular in locations like the back of the neck or the small of the back, where the tattoo will be easily visible if the owner wishes to expose it, but it can be covered up for work during the week. This is likely the most discreet version of the Harley Davidson tattoo. Black and gray Harley Davidson tattoos are also very popular because they look slightly more hardcore and can be made to appear metallic and three-dimensional. These grayscale tattoos are often startlingly realistic! They are popular not only because they are Harley Davidson tattoos, but also because they are more unusual than many other forms of Harley Davidson tattoos, but still express unity with other Harley aficionados and affection for motorcycle riding and the biker lifestyle in general. 

Many people who really love Harley Davidson and biking get much more elaborate Harley Davidson tattoos. These tattoos usually still integrate the Harley Davidson shield, but the accompanying designs are much more elaborate. Patriotic tattoos easily incorporate the Harley logo to become patriotic Harley Davidson tattoos, and classic biker tattoos often do the same. Often Harley riders have friends who have either died in combat overseas or who used to ride with them but either died of illness or even in vehicle crashes. As a result, many Harley Davidson tattoos evolve into memorial tattoos as the tattoo owner ages, and often people with Harley Davidson tattoos incorporate birth and death dates into the Harley Davidson theme along with images like swallow tattoos, pinup tattoos and a variety of roses and skulls to create a beautiful memorial art piece based around the Harley Davidson shield and the people who shared the tattoo owner's affection for the brand and the lifestyle. 

Whether you want a Harley Davidson tattoo because you live to ride and ride to live, or because you have always admired other people's Harley Davidson tattoos and want one of your own, getting a Harley Davidson tattoo will place you in a fellowship with other motorcycle riders and aficionados. Whenever people see your tattoo, they will assume certain things about you, so be aware of the ramifications of your Harley Davidson tattoo and place and design it carefully so that you will enjoy it for the rest of your life.

Bring in Art to the tattoo shop for your next tattoo

When most people think about bringing in art as a guide for a tattoo artist or as inspiration for a tattoo design, they think it is an uncertain science. As a result, people often do not bring in art to serve as references for their tattoos, or they do not expect the tattoo artist to create a tattoo that actually looks identical or even much similar to the pieces of art that they brought in as a reference for their tattoo designs. However, if your heart is set on a particular tattoo design, you can get exactly what you want very easily. There is a simple set of steps that you should take in order to get exactly the right type of art to bring in for a tattoo. 

Perfect Tattoo Step 1: Pick your perfect tattoo.

There are thousands of pieces of tattoo art and tattoo designs online from artists around the world. Even if you are not able to get that artist to tattoo you themselves, by getting the right tattoo stencil and guide, you will be able to get a perfect replica of your dream tattoo. As you browse through the tattoos, keep track of the ones that you like best. You can come back to them later. 

Perfect Tattoo Step 2: Have a tattoo run-off. 

Once you have narrowed your selection of favorite tattoos down to a few designs, the time has come to determine which one you like best. Order the tattoo test drive kit for each of these designs. This kit will let you print the designs out and apply them to your body like temporary tattoos. You can then examine the effect of the tattoo on each part of your body, and determine which tattoo design fits your body and your personality best while you are actually wearing it. You will notice that one or two of the designs probably make you feel extra confident or sexy. These are the ones that are probably best for you. 

Perfect Tattoo Step 3: Order a stencil and color guide.

The best way to insure that your real, permanent tattoo is identical to the one that you tried on is to actually order a stencil of that tattoo design and get a color guide to go with the tattoo. A tattoo stencil provides a guideline on your skin for the tattoo artists to follow while he or she is tattooing you. The color guide enables the tattoo artist to refer to the original color scheme of the tattoo design and replicate it in ink on your skin. Stencils and color guides are relatively inexpensive and provide insurance for your tattoo designs when it comes to resembling and imitating the original artwork. 

Often, people will try to bring in images of tattoos that have been lifted directly from photographs of tattoos. This is a way to give an artist an idea of what you want your tattoo design to look like, but it is not a good way to get the same tattoo. Everyone's skin absorbs and displays tattoo ink slightly differently, and the way that a tattoo looks on someone's arm can be totally different from the way that it will look on your left shoulder. Furthermore, because tattoo maintenance is vital to the preservation of tattoo beauty and clarity, it can be hard to determine exactly what a tattoo looked like originally if a person has exposed it to sun or other environmental factors. What you think you are getting may look completely different on your skin than it did on someone else's. 

When you are bringing in any type of art for a tattoo artist, it is best to be as specific as possible so that you get the tattoo design that you really want. If you cannot find the perfect tattoo design online, then bring in several examples and ask the artist to draw you a custom tattoo design from the samples. As with any other tattoo artwork, you should make sure that colors and designs are perfectly clear, and you should have already experimented with location and size before you brought the work in. This will help you and the tattoo artist work together to formulate the perfect tattoo design. In the end, you will be happiest with a well thought out, well researched tattoo design that fits all of your artistic requirements and aesthetic needs for a tattoo.
