Skin Removal Scarification On Face

2011-09-01T14:49:00.005+01:00

There are various types of Scarification methods, most of which we carry out. The Scarification you see here was done using the Skin Removal method which involves making two cuts a slight distance apart and then removing the skin from between them by "slicing" it with a scalpel.

The photograph you see below was supplied to us by the (very happy!) customer and shows the result 2 days after the procedure was carried out.

If you are interested in having some Scarification done we insist on carrying out a Consultation beforehand. During the consultation the Tattooed Lady will discuss with you the procedure and advise you on several factors such as placement, suitability of the design, most suitable method and likely results.

There are several other examples in the Branding & Scarification gallery at Tattooed Lady Body Art's website and another example of the Skin Removal method in this Blog post from last year.

If you need any more information or would like to book a Consultation, please contact the Studio on 0161 681 7255 or email us on studio@tattooed-lady.co.uk

Drum 'n' Bass Fans: Hand Tattoo

2011-01-24T14:53:00.005Z

Another recent Tattoo done here in the Tattooed Lady Body Art Studio:

Led Zeppelin: "Zoso" The Ribcage Tattoo

2011-01-22T12:18:00.009Z

You all know them; formed in 1968 in London the group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones. Arguably the biggest rock band in the world Led Zeppelin remain one of the most influential and innovative groups in music history. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide it's fair to say they were "successful".

With "success" brings questions and this must be the most commonly asked question concerning the band or any of their work.

"What do those "Zoso" symbols mean?"

Apparently the symbols came about because the band decided their 1971 album couldn't be called "Led Zeppelin IV". The band wanted to show the world that their music could sell itself.

Jimmy Page explained at the time: "We decided that on the fourth album we would deliberately play down the group name and there wouldn't be any information whatsoever on the outer jacket. Names, titles and things like that do not mean a thing... it's all about the music."

Adds Robert Plant: "Each of us decided to go away and choose a metaphysical type of symbol which somehow represented each of us individually... be it a state of mind, an opinion, or something we felt strongly about. Then we were to come back together and present our symbols."

Page designed his own symbol (Zoso). Though it resembles the alchemical symbol for mercury, its meaning remains a mystery. The most recent theory is that it symbolizes a near-death or Tantric sex experience to unify the worlds of the living and the dead and thus to reveal the secrets of the universe.

John Paul Jones' symbol (circle over three interlocking ovals) was found in a book of runes and purportedly represents a person who is both confident and competent. It also mysteriously appears on the cover of a book about the Rosicrucians.

Bonham's symbol (three interlocking circles) came from the same book, and Bonham just liked it (though Plant says the circles symbolize the man-woman-child trilogy). At a stop in Pittsburgh, the band noticed it was also the emblem of Ballantine beer. You be the judge.

Plant's symbol (circle around a feather) features the feather of Ma'at the Egyptian goddess of justice and fairness. It is also the emblem of a writer. Plant says the symbol he created was drawn from sacred symbols of the ancient Mu civilization, a fantastical place that supposedly existed until 14,000 years ago. The last remnants are said to be the primitive statues at Easter Island.

Whatever the truth behind the symbols, they sure look good and have meaning as I'm sure this recent customer here at Tattooed Lady Body Art will tell you!

Foot & Ankle Tattoos: Floral & Stars

2011-01-15T13:08:00.004Z

Something we get asked for a lot here at Tattooed Lady Body Art:

"Floral design"
"Swirls with some stars"
"Girly stars around my ankle"
"Pretty flower on top of my foot"

I think this custom design covers all those bases.

Ear Stretching: History, jewellery and a "How to".

2011-01-14T16:50:00.003Z

History & Introduction
Since ancient times, Ear Stretching has been practiced by people from various countries and cultures around the globe. Various organic materials were used, ranging from carved bone, horn and stone right through to shells and animal teeth or claws.

Today ear stretching is very popular and there is a huge amount of jewellery available. If you are interested in stretching your ear lobe piercing there are two main ways to do it; the safe way and the unsafe way. Please choose the safe way!

What Is “ Ear Stretching”?
Ear Stretching, which is sometimes referred to as “gauging”, is the process of increasing the size of your piercing. It should be undertaken as a gradual process if you are going to do it safely. It can take many months or even years to reach the desired size but if you follow this guide you should not encounter any complications.

What method to use?
There are several options available to you, such as:
Tapering: A tapered “rod” is inserted into the piercing to increase the size.
Weights: Weights hung from the piercing.
Scalpelling: A sharp blade is used to cut flesh away to the desired size.
Dermal Punch: A section of flesh is removed by “punching” a hole through it.

This guide will concentrate on stretching using Tapers, as it is perhaps the safest and certainly the most commonly used method.

Before you stretch
Hygiene is very important! Make sure you clean your hands with an anti-bacterial handwash before touching your piercing and/or the jewellery you are going to use.
It is easier to stretch the piercing straight after a hot bath or shower as the tissue is more relaxed and pliable. Be sure to dry your piercing thoroughly before inserting the taper as any moisture will harbour bacteria.

How to stretch your piercing
Slowly insert the smaller end of the taper into the piercing. If you feel any pain or resistance, stop! There should certainly be no bleeding and if there is remove the taper immediately and seek medical help.
You should feel no more than a “slight heat and stinging” sensation.
Listen to your body and do not get impatient!
Once inserted to the desired size the taper can be held in place with the supplied O rings, one either side of the earlobe.

Looking after the piercing
Aftercare is quite straightforward but still very important for newly stretched piercings.
If you do it correctly (that is, slowly and with care) there should be no tearing or damage to the skin and no bleeding or pain. If you experience anything more than a tingling or slight stinging sensation you should remove the taper and “downsize” to a previous size.

You should maintain good hygiene of the piercing, ensuring you wash the earlobe frequently. Most important is to make sure the ear and jewellery are thoroughly dry after washing, otherwise bacteria will flourish causing itchiness/redness, swelling and infection.

It is very important to wait until the piercing is completely healed before attempting to increase the size otherwise you run a high risk of complications, some of which can be severe! Obviously everyone heals at a different rate but generally it takes weeks rather than days.
Never force your ears to stretch no matter how long you've waited. Skin elasticity and healing times vary greatly from person to person, and you might have to wait longer than others to safely stretch your ears. Additionally, if you encounter any complications due to stretching, healing a stretch, or healing a fresh piercing, you should extend the time you wait before attempting to stretch again.

You only get one pair of ears. Stretch them safely!

Egyptian History & Tattoos: Tutankhamun

2011-01-13T18:07:00.005Z

Tutankhamun was an 18th dynasty Egyptian pharaoh in the period of history known as the New Kingdom.

In 1922 his almost-intact tomb was discovered and received media attention the world over. Mention "Ancient Egypt" to most and they will most likely think of the mask of Tutankhamun's mummy.

He reigned as King for 10 years from the very early age of just 9 years old!
He died aged 19, and even today there is debate over what caused his death.

King Tutankhamun was buried in a small tomb, perhaps because of his unexpected death a "grand" tomb hadn't been prepared? His mummy still rests in that tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

Ironically he would only just have reached today's minimum legal age to be tattooed here at Tattooed Lady Body Art!

Butterfly Tattoo: Feminine Leg Garter

2011-01-12T15:39:00.004Z

This is a recent custom design that was done here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

A very feminine butterfly design linked together with some delicate swirls.

Sailor Jerry Style Old School Pin Up Tattoo On Arms

2011-01-08T15:09:00.004Z

Today, his legacy lives on as you can see with this pair of pin ups done here recently at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

Cover Up Tattoo Designs: Celtic Cross, Roses, Old School Swallows

2010-12-15T12:49:00.008Z

Been so busy here updating the online shop that we've not had chance to Blog for a few days. But you want to be able Shop @ Tattooed Lady don't you?

So now it's time to update the Blog and share some of our latest work with you. Obviously this is only a snapshot of what's been happening at Tattooed Lady Body Art and we're focusing on Cover Ups here.

To see much more in a variety of styles please keep checking the website galleries.

First up is this old and faded tiny cross on the inner forearm. You can see it here underneath the stencil of the new design:

And here's the finished tattoo:

From arms to shoulders, from Crosses to Roses.

And Dolphins I guess, as you can see in the "Before" picture below:

I'm sure you'll agree, a huge improvement in all it's blooming glory:

Finally for now we have a custom design on the chest. When this customer arrived he had a faded swallow and a name that he no longer wanted!

His brief: "Do what you want, just black out the name."

Obviously there's no Art in that and it's not something we would do here so a full rework of the old tattoo and the addition of some more flowers resulted in a transformation that went something like this:

I'm sure I don't need to label them "Before" and "After" do I.

The beauty of all these cover ups? They all work brilliantly as "stand alone" designs in their own right and don't look like they were only used because that's all that would "fit".

Skin Removal Scarification: Chest

2010-12-01T14:46:00.003Z

There are several "types" of Body Modification that fall under the name of Scarification.

This one was done using the Skin Removal Scarification technique.
We also offer other types such as Cutting, Scarification with tattoo needles and Cautery or Strike Iron Branding.

This is a relatively simple design on the chest, just above the breast. In the first image you can see the stencil on the skin before any cutting takes place:

This one is a Work In Progress:

And finally, the finished design. And time for a stiff drink! :)

There are many more examples of Scarification work in the galleries so have a look at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

Cover Up Tattoo On Hand: Name to Floral

2010-11-29T13:21:00.004Z

Here you can see an example of some recent cover up work done here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

First off, how to cover up a name or text tattoo that you no longer want?
There are several ways and it doesn't have to be a solid black tribal tattoo like many people assume.

In this case a feminine floral and swirl design was chosen.

Ths is the name that she wanted covering on the outside of the hand:

In the "Work In Progress" image below you can see the stencil of the new design and how it covers the old name tattoo:

And below... the finished tattoo!

Feminine Inner Wrist Tattoo Designs: Floral: Dandelion

2010-11-18T16:11:00.004Z

But more often than not, pictures speak a thousand words.

Recent Cover Up Tattoos: Japanese Floral, Eagle On Arm & Cherubs On Forearm

2010-11-18T12:45:00.012Z

Cover up tattoos are something we get asked for many times here at Tattooed Lady Body Art. The secret to a successful cover up is that you should not be able to tell that the new tattoo covers an old one.

Obviously there are certain limitations in some cases but hopefully the following will show you why people come here for their custom cover up.

Let's start with a Japanese floral tattoo:

As you can see from the first image, it started as an old and somewhat faded unicorn at the top of the back, something that the lady was very self-conscious about:

Above you can still see the original tattoo underneath the outline of the "work-in-progress" custom design. The next image is the result of the 3rd session, with the addition of some colour you can see it starting to take shape. A beautiful combination of Japanese floral and water:

Below, some hours later, you can see the finished tattoo:

As you can see, a tattoo she is now happy to show!

The next one is a very frequent request: "Can you cover up this name please?"
Yes we can!

It started as an aged, faded heart and scroll with a name inside. You can see it here underneath the stencil of the new design:

A bit of a transformation I'm sure you'll agree!

Finally, for now at least, a star and cherubs tattoo that you may recognise from a Blog post a few days ago:

What we didn't say in that post was that this is also a custom design cover up.
Want to see how it was "Before"?

I bet you didn't know that was possible did you! Well, it is and so is so much more...

Don't believe us? Have a look at the Cover Ups Gallery for yourself: www.tattooed-lady.co.uk
We'll see you at the Studio soon.

Tattoo Ideas: Text On Inner Wrists, Tribal Arm Designs, Cherubs And Dragons

2010-11-12T16:03:00.011Z

Time to share some of the latest work done here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

First up, homage to our parents:

Next we have an almost full sleeve of Tribal:

And another to show how the design looks around the inside of the arm:

As you can see if you compare the next image with those above, Tribal tattoo designs vary hugely but you can be sure of a unique custom design that enhances your body. It's called Body Art for good reason!

What we showing you next, I hear you ask?
Cherubs. That's what!

Here they are:

And again, another angle to show more detail and how the design fits the shape of the arm:

Cosmetic Tattooing: Not our work but interesting nonetheless...

2010-11-11T17:47:00.002Z

Cosmetic Tattooing & Scar Coverage is a speciality here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.
Seems like we're not the only Studio to offer the service, as you can see in this fascinating article:

Shark Tattoo: A Conversation Starter

Facial Piercings: Lip & Nose Bridge

2010-11-10T16:11:00.004Z

Bridge piercings are a facial piercing through the skin on the bridge of the nose. They work especially well when teamed with a lip piercing, as you can see.

Bridge piercings are sometimes referred to as an "Erl" or "Earl" piercing, after Erl van Aken. Tattooed Lady Body Art have been carrying out piercings such as these for 16 years and can advise which piercing and jewellery type are most suitable for you so call into the Studio and see us!

Don't forget also that Shop@Tattooed Lady has a huge range of Body Jewellery for most types of piercings and some great gift ideas for the upcoming festive season!

Lizard And Cherry Blossom Foot Tattoo

2010-11-06T15:45:00.004Z

Lizards have long been a popular choice as a tattoo, in all styles from tribal through to naturalistic.

Cherry Blossom plays a big part in many Japanese-style tattoo designs.

Together they make a great holiday souvenir, as you can see in this recent custom design created here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

Where are you going on holiday and what will you see as inspiration for your next tattoo?

Skull And Tribal Lower Back Tattoo

2010-11-03T12:03:00.004Z

We've just got enough of a break at the Studio to give you a quick glimpse of a recent custom design done here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

Take a look at the updated Galleries at www.tattooed-lady.co.uk for more of our recent work as we're busy creating more!

Cosmetic Eyebrow Tattooing : The benefits

2010-10-23T12:20:00.004+01:00

Eyebrow tattooing is a Cosmetic Tattooing procedure that allows you to have the brows you want without having to draw them on all of the time. It has been around for quite a number of years although only recently has it become increasingly popular and is one of the many services we have been offering here at Tattooed Lady Body Art since 1994.

Stop wasting time drawing in your eyebrow with pencil every morning and think of the money you could save if you never needed to buy expensive eyebrow pencils again!

That's what these ladies did for various reasons:

This lady has spent years overplucking her eyebrows and wanted them back!

Before:

After:

Close Up:

And this lady just wanted to spend less time in front of a mirror and more time for other things!

Anyone Remember "The Littlest Hobo"? : Now see the foot tattoo

2010-10-22T14:40:00.010+01:00

"The Littlest Hobo", that 1980's iconic TV show featuring the "wandering" dog.

You remember it yet?

Maybe it will help if you sing along:

Maybe Tomorrow – Terry Bush

- The theme from “The Littlest Hobo” (1979)

[whistling intro]

There’s a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I’ll always be

Every stop I make, I’ll make a new friend
Can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again.

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.

Down this road, that never seems to end,
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend.

So if you want to join me for a while

Just grab your hat, come travel light – that’s hobo style.

I loved that show and I think this recent visitor to Tattooed Lady Body Art did too!

Where has Tattooed Lady been?

2010-09-11T15:52:00.010+01:00

Nowhere. Ok, the blog might have been a while coming but...

She's still right here and very busy in the Studio!

This is a taste of what has been happening, and there's lot more to come but if you can't wait for that, go and check out the website galleries.

We start with a cover-up and the addition of a fabulous tribal design on the back.
As you can see, he had a small design at the top of his back and he was no longer happy with it:

He left the Studio a few hours later, a very happy young man!

Next was this floral design:

She came here with the arrowed hearts that she wanted to have reworked and extended so this custom design was made for her.

Another cover up:

Before:

After:

And penultimately, another floral design. This one is a long-term project and will be extended when the girl returns from overseas next year.

And finally, because floral and butterflies go hand in hand:

What do you think? Remember to keep checking www.tattooed-lady.co.uk and here as there's always much more to see.

Permanent Make Up: Cosmetic Eyebrow Tattooing

2010-05-06T13:10:00.007+01:00

Cosmetic tattooing is something we specialise in here at Tattooed Lady Body Art and it's a procedure that is becoming ever more popular as the pace of life increases!
Sometimes it's just easier to not have to worry about make-up and getting your eyebrows perfect every morning.

Yesterday was the turn of this young lady who wanted darker and bolder looking brows than she had naturally.

When she arrived she looked like this:

As you can see, she has beautiful eyes but they lacked any real definition. Que a consultation with the Tattooed Lady to advise what was possible, followed by the Tattooing.

And this is the result:

I'm sure you'll agree it's quite a difference!

We'll be updating the website soon with lots more cosmetic tattooing so please take a look.

As January ends...

2010-01-28T11:25:00.003Z

We welcome in some new beginnings here at Tattooed Lady Body Art.

First of these changes is the arrival of Tricky, a very talented artist who will be taking up residency in our Studio.

Tricky will be available for bookings on Fridays and Saturdays, starting this coming Friday the 29th January.

I suggest you get down here quickly as when this guy gets known, things are going to get very hot around here!

The next of our big changes is the online shop.

It's built. It's ready to go live and it's called Shop @ Tattooed Lady.

We'll be selling Body Jewellery including flesh tunnels, plugs and ear stretchers, navel and tongues and all sorts of things somewhere in between that lot.

We'll also have some very funky jewellery available. From enamelled Swarovski crystal pendants and earrings to hand-made Steampunk rings and necklaces and on to retro-kitsch costume jewellery, we've got something for every body so whatever your budget make sure you check it out.

Clothes, accessories and bags will be featured too along with a superb range of hand-carved pendants, statues and plaques from a hugely talented local artist. Most of these are made from deer horn and have amazing detail and are a joy to own.

So... that's February and the future here at Tattooed Lady Body Art and we are very much looking forward to it and we would love you to be a part of it.

Also we have some fantastic Special Offers coming up for you to celebrate St. Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year so keep an eye out for those in the next few days.

All that remains for me to say is... we look forward to seeing you Shop @ Tattooed Lady and to welcome aboard Tricky.

Butterfly Hip Tattoo: Cover Up

2010-01-06T14:04:00.001Z

This lady came to us as a recommendation after we did a Polynesian custom cover-up on her boyfriend's arm.

Today Is A Tribal Back Tattoo Day!

2009-12-19T12:17:00.001Z

This piece is the first design of the day. A very busy Saturday here at the Studio!

The design is an enlarged and slightly altered version of the piece we previously did for his partner.

Just now in the Studio we have two navel piercings being done and a custom cover-up.

This one is a faded old tribal design at the small of the back which is being covered with a large floral and vine design.

The first image shows the stencil applied and outline done:
