Maybe this is obvious, but I’ve only recently been using it a lot. This example was used for a cover up, but I use it even more when I’m planning a tattoo for a certain space.
All I do is hold up a ruler to the piece when I take a picture. That’s it.
After transferring the images to my computer, I open up Photo shop.
Create a new file (File > New). For a new document I always use the Photo shop Preset: U.S. Paper. (Size – Letter) This creates a standard 8.5″ by 11″ sheet at a 300 dots per inch resolution.
Next, I open the image I want and drag it onto the new document. Making sure the rulers are showing (View – Rulers) I click on the ruler and drag/pull a guide down to the inch mark. And I drag another down to the two inch mark.
Then it’s a matter of resizing the photo; enlarging or reducing enough so the inch and two inch marks line up with the guides.
Pretty easy.
Then I have my size. Sometimes I print it out and draw over it. Other times I use my Wacom and sketch right there. It’s perfect. And it helps with figuring out sizing for cover ups.
I also have paper rulers I print out and use as well. I like using a new one for every person, so I just print them out and throw them away. It’s nothing special, but, when I get time, I’ll throw it in the reference section so it’s easy to just grab and print.
Lately I’ve been pondering about the new year. In case you’re reading this and you didn’t know, it is in fact, a new year. Yes, that’s right, it’s no longer 2009. It is now 2010. Yes I know I’m a lot late. I’ve never personally been the sort of person who gets all excited about a new year, but the fact of the matter is that a new year is like a clean slate or some would say, you can start all over fresh and new and try to do the things that you some how failed to do last year.
When I sat down and started pondering about all the things that I want to accomplish this year and the years to come, I realized something: the new year is the absolute best time to get a new tattoo! The idea of getting a tattoo that represents a simble that you want to achieve this year or in the near future or maybe a tattoo that reminds you of something that you’ve been through in the past year – these are all perfect ways to either stick fast to your goals or hold past memories closer than ever. I know that is the case for me and all the tats that I have. I was reading this article and although the article itself doesn’t say much of anything new, this part in particular made me nod my head in agreement:
(For Soumya, tattoos are far more effective than New Year resolutions: “A new year is a time for resolutions and reflection. A tattoo can help remind a person of something he or she wants for a lifetime. So your reflections will remain with you not just for a day in the coming year, but beyond.”)
Sure, it’s hardly a new concept to get a tattoo to kick off the new year, but it is a concept that somehow just seems right. Every year people make resolutions knowing full well that they won’t stick to them. Maybe it’s time to get your resolutions or reminders of your resolutions stuck on you.
Customers of tattoo shops are not always very bright. Actually this would apply to customers of ANY business. Anyways, just click here and read it. It’s funny.

If you think this is bad, wait till you see the pictures of the cat's butt!
Click on the picture to visit the original link and look at the other 14 hilarious pictures. Some of which include monkeys poking each other, a unicorn humping a dolphin, and that girl who got 56 stars tattooed on her face and then lied about it, saying she fell asleep in the chair, because her father was angry. Good post, we just thought you would enjoy it so we had to link to it from this blog!
Especially embarassing is the woman who was paid a measly $10K to get GoldenPalace.com tattooed on her forehead. That poor, dumb woman. Maybe we can get her to put Tattoos-Supplies.com on her chin for a few thousand!
