A new tattoo flash sheet has been added to Top Tattoo Designs. This is a sheet of seven emblem tattoo designs by Jinx.

>A tattoo artist on the tattoo message board sent me a link to his tattoo design website. Sparrz has some very cool & unique designs, including animal tattoo designs which are kind of like tribal designs but not really. If you like the designs please stop by the forum and let him know.

Tattoo artist Marcus Lego’s angel devil tattoo design is currently featured on Top-Tattoo-Designs.com.

CTV is reporting that Canadian prisoners will now be able to get safe tattoos in select prisons. This is good news, considering that used ink and needles are believed to be largely responsible for the spread of HIV and Hepatitis C in prisons.

…under a new $700,000 program that is now available in six of Canada’s jails, prisoners are being provided with safe, hygienic tattoos in a clean environment with new needles and ink, available for $5 for a two-hour session.

US Marines returning from Iraq are getting tattoos to memorialize the pain and hardship of the war. Many of the designs are personal, reflecting specific events of the war that are embedded in their minds.

Above each is the symbol of a fallen warrior: a pair of empty boots and an erect rifle, adorned with a helmet. In the background, silhouettes of 20 other Marines represent the surviving members of Pretus’s platoon.

Greetings from the Newbie - “Doz”,
Hello everyone I am an ex - advertising guy that became a tattoo & piercing man about 9 years ago. I left corporate life in pursuit of less stress and more adventure. I am on my way to experiencing both. I am a professional artist and designer that applies many years of art experience and training to my tattoo artwork. I moved to Washington from Michigan. This is my first move outside my home state. Since I arrived I opened “Ambrosia Tattoo Gallery, L.L.C. in Redmond, Wa., on the internet at www.tatguy.com , I finished a new Free dating and personals website for the tattooed, pierced, or those living alternative lifestyles called ” Tatdater”, on the net at www.tatdater.com, and I will be having a One - Man show of my paintings starting this month, November 17th in Tacoma. It will be at the “Brick and Mortar” gallery at 811 Pacific Ave #300 in Tacoma and it runs until January 17th, 2006. Please visit my shop, the free dating site, and the art show. It is the beginning of my new life as a Washington artist. Tattooing is truly a magical process and links modern humankind to ancient humankind’s anchestry. Take your time and give some thought to your markings, what events and circumstances they represent and create a “Visual” history of your life on your body. As said by those before me,” Enjoy your skin while your are in it.”

Three wing tattoo designs by French tattoo artist Florian have been added to Top-Tattoo-Designs.com.
