The lighter side Tattoos can be a meaningful form of expression, however this is not always the case. In this week's post I will look at the lighter side of tattooing. The people who have shared their stories in this instance know not to take life too seriously. With these there is an element of impulsiveness and a sense of humour that is beautifully complemented by the art of tattooing. Tattoos don't have to be deep and meaningful, they can be something that simply makes you smile. Mr Muscle Mart Ash has the perfect example of a light hearted tattoo, in this muscular looking stick man he has behind his ear. " I used to train and was in good shape, and it was in homage to that." But there was a competitive element to his choice of tattoo, as Mart wasn't alone in his stick man inking.

Memorial Tattoos part 2 Following on from last week, the tattoos in this post are a special tribute to loved ones that have passed.

Memorial Tattoos - Part 1 A memorial tattoo can be an image, a quote, a poem or anything that represents a loved one who has passed. Some people go for a full portrait of said loved one whilst others opt for symbolism. It is in itself a varied subject matter that is unique and personal to the individual wearing the tattoo. Whilst in the early stages of putting this blog together I reached out on social media to gather people's stories and was inundated with memorial tattoos; for this reason this week's post will be the first in a two part post, continued next week with more of the same. Getting tattooed is clearly a popular way to pay tribute to someone you have lost, be it a loved family member, a friend, a pet or even a rock star. Tattooing is a permanent reminder always carried with you on your body. What better way to mark your respect and remember the people dear to you. Touching tribute to her baby boy The first memorial tattoo belongs to Hollie Russell. Hollie
