Julia Gnuse – nicknamed the ‘illustrated lady’ – has 95 per cent of her body covered in ink, ranging from jungle scenes and cartoons to her favourite actors. Miss Gnuse, from California, started getting tattoos on her legs after developing a skin condition called porphyria, which causes the skin to blister when exposed to sunlight. More images after the break.

In an interview, Miss Gnuse said although the ink did not stop her skin from blistering, it covered up the scars and allowed her to be exposed to the sun. ‘I had a friend who is a plastic surgeon, who suggested tattooing my skin the same color to the scarring that I had, seeing if we can match my just pale-looking skin that I had.’ Miss Gnuse said every one of her designs had been created by the same tattoo artist. Miss Gnuse features in the 2011 Guiness World Records book.

Japanese Dragon Tattoo Design Ideas

Traditional Japanese dragons are long fire-breathing serpents. They denote a level of power and rough beauty and are definitely not reserved only for Japanese people. Traditional Japanese tattoos are done in black and gray, though traditional Japanese dragons are done in colored ink; you can decide for yourself which is more appropriate for you.

Traditional Dragon

    A traditional Japanese dragon tattoo consists of its entire body winding either around your arm or leg, or your back. The whole body is considerable in length and will take up a large area of skin. In addition to the dragon, you can set it to a background of fire, traditional Japanese waves or both to portray duality or opposing equal elements. The traditional colors of the dragon vary, but the fire should be red and orange and the water blue with white highlights.

Dragon Head

    If you don't want the entire dragon or are unwilling to contribute the amount of skin necessary for an entire dragon, consider tattooing only the head of the dragon. Your artist can put a large amount of detail into the features of the dragon's face, creating green-scaled skin, bright eyes, sharp jagged teeth and a serpent's tongue. The head can also be wreathed in flame and water, forming a subtle yin yang. Traditional Japanese colors should be used for the scales and both elements.

Tribal Dragon

    Tribal dragon tattoos are an aboriginal design of intersecting jagged or rounded lines from many regions. Your artist can design these intersecting lines to form any image, including a traditional Japanese dragon. Since this type of tattoo fuses tattooing from two regions together, you can decide whether to stick to the traditional tribal color of solid black or incorporate shades of colors to pay homage to the Japanese style. Tribal tattoos generally have less detail than traditional Japanese images and can take up less space.

The Most Popular Tattoos | Uniqueness of The bearer

Most people will tell you that they like the individualism and uniqueness of their personal items. It is rare to find someone who is happy to own an item or accessory that is owned by everyone else. Humans have a natural need to personalize things such as cars, clothing, homes and of course, their bodies.

Tattoos are the permanent accessory that can transform a body into a living piece of art. However, just like an oversold and over-popular Korean car, tattoos can get common and even boring.

Here is the part in which one has to ask: how do we pursue our need for individualism while wanting a tattoo that someone else might already have? The answer is simple and the magic word is originality.

Designing your own tattoo or getting help designing it is essential for avoiding falling into the cookie cutter cone of everyday life. Keeping an open mind, ask a local visual artist to design your next tattoo. The results can only be an awesome combination of your own ideas executed with the talented hands of an artist.

The website rank my tattoos collected and posted the fifty more popular tattoos which included the tribal, nautical stars and wings, among others. All of these tattoos can be repetitive and common, but with a little imagination and artistic exploration, your design can be as unique as your fingerprints.

On the other side of the coin, there is the purposely reproduced tattoo, commonly used to honor or show admiration for someone such as a celebrity, athlete or family member. Even hardcore supporters of originality support such approach.

Here in our town, tattoo artists generally assist their customers in making the right selection and even put the ideas into paper. Our best advice is to take advantage of such service and maintain your originality. After all, being unique is a natural thing.

Dutch tattoo artist Helma van der Weide can up with an interesting tattoo for her daughter Lotte. Lotte is a photographer and wanted a tattoo to share her passion. Her design is a pair of hands holding a camera on her forearm. When Lotte covers her eyes with her arm, it gives the illusion of her holding a camera to take a picture.
