Hip Tattoos

Ever since lower back tattoos garnered a bad reputation for being cheap, trashy and labeled as tramp stamps, the appeal for hip tattoos has sky rocked beyond belief.

Some of the most popular hip tattoos include, stars, flowers, butterflies and birds, swallows in particular. Enjoy this great picture gallery of cool hip artwork ideas.

Gretchen's Shrine for Federico

I spotted Gretchen in the Penn Plaza Borders and asked if she'd share the tattoo on her upper left arm. She gladly agreed:

This piece is an homage to grandfather Federico. She remembers that he introduced her to nature, so she included natural elements like plants and butterflies. Gretchen also added a replica of her grandfather's tattoo, which was inked with the name of her grandmother, Hermes.

This is one of about  ten tattoos Gretchen has, and she had this done at Liquid Skin Studio, in Inwood, on the north end of Manhattan.

Gretchen is an artist that works with craft and jewelery. You can see her website here.

Thanks to Gretchen for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Panther Tattoos

The lion tattoos we recently featured were nothing short of amazing, but my personal favorite big cat tattoo design would have to be the black panther. A creature that is so flawlessly sleek and stunning it reminds you a fine diamond buried deep within the rough of its natural habitat.

So kick off your shoes and enjoy these pictures of black panther tattoos.
