Alternative Look

Fake Tattoo Sleeves

February 28th 2010 20:45
Tattoo sleeves are pretty popular and common these days, but if you want the look but if you want it to be temporary, you can buy fake tattoo arm sleeves, which are pieces of cloth that are worn specifically on your arms, giving the illusion that your arms are fully tattooed.


Don't worry about the material falling and ruining the illusion because you attach the sleeves to your shirt sleeves or tank top so that they don't fall.

The sleeves typically start at the upper arm and go to the wrist. You can use a thick watch or bracelet to cover the wrist, making the material blend better with your arm. But, the sleeves already have a snug fit, so they're not going to hang loose anyway and you won't need any sort of tape to make them appear like skin.

These fake tattoo sleeves are a great alternative than actually getting tattoos if you're just not sure about the permanence of a tattoo.

The tattoo sleeves come in a variety of options from colored tattoos, tribal, black and white tattoos, etc. You will be able to create whatever statement that you're going for with these sleeves.

Buy Skull Shirts

February 19th 2010 20:08
Skulls are really popular amongst the punk and gothic crowd, so there's no questions as to why they wear skull shirts... They like them... Duh...

Well, when shopping for skull shirts, there are TONS of options. If you're buying the shirt as a gift for someone, or if it's for yourself, shop around.

If you're shopping for yourself, you probably think that you've got just about all that there is to get in terms of skull shirts, but you probably haven't seen the half of it. Girl shirts come in a huge variety of colors and styles, whereas if you're a guy, you've got just a few basic styles.

Even if the shirt style is the same, that doesn't mean that the image on the shirt will be similar. Check out some of the below options for skull shirts on eBay. You'll find that eBay is the best place to find anything and everything, even clothes. You may think that all you're going to find is used clothes, but there are many sellers offering new shirts with the tags still attached.

Pictures of Dog Tattoos

February 9th 2010 19:39
People memoralize their pets in many different ways. Most just bury them and move on, but you will find some cremate the ashes, and some actually stuff the pet. But, others will get a tattoo to memoralize the pet forever. You just can't forget your favorite dog or dog you lost early tragically if you have something tattooed on your body that reminds you of the dog.

I have done it. My tattoo is of the dog's name and a paw print. I also have another tattoo of my favorite dog breed- American Pit Bull Terrier.

Check out these tattoos that other people have of their dogs and of things that remind them of their dog. There are different ways to grieve, and getting a tattoo is one of them.

Gothic Purses- Coffin Purse

January 29th 2010 21:53
I haven't seen many people carrying a coffin purse, but they make great gothic purses for those who are into that style. There are many different types that you can choose from with different exterior designs and interior colors and fabrics.

Most of the coffin purses have a clip on shoulder strap that hangs the coffin on its side, as well as a handle.

And, most of the coffin purses have a latch that keeps the purse closed.

You have to lay the coffin flat on its back in order to open the purse to get to your belongings. This for me is a pain because I like to be able to reach in and grab what I want, but some people have the time to stop and pick out what they want. To me, it's just an added hassle to stop at the register open up your purse so that the cashier and the people behind you can see what's inside your purse, just so that you can grab your wallet out.

But, to each is his own.

Coffin purses generally have a black exterior and a black or maroon interior material. There is usually some sort of gothic cross on the top of the purse. The size, shape, and style of the cross will vary, and in some cases, the color of the goth cross will vary from coffin purse to purse.

As for the interior, there may or may not be a small pocket on the inside of the coffin, but you'll probably find that most don't have the hide-away storage pocket. Some actually have a built in mirror which is pretty cool.

Most coffin purses measure about 10 to 12 inches long. They generally aren't the biggest purses to carry, but they're great for children and as costume accessories.

How to Heal a Human Brand

January 12th 2010 15:05
Strike Branding Equipment
Whether you're thinking about getting a brand or you just got one, you need to make sure that you know proper aftercare. The last thing that you need to do is get an extreme body modification and then it end up infected. You'll definitely lose your initial design and end up with some distortion.

First off, take into account that depending on the extent of the brand, it may take a long time to properly heal. Some brands may take an average of 6 to 12 months to heal. Larger human brands will take longer to heal than smaller ones, but if they're performed properly, they should still be the same depth, which will average out the healing time. Plus, depending on your own body, you'll find that the actual healing time will vary.

No matter what type of skin brand you got or plan to, you want to always treat it like a burn.

When it comes to healing a human brand, you'll find that there are many different methods. Some people claim that irritating with the wound will help it scar better and some claim by suffocating it with vaseline will help. For the most part though, you'll find that more people use the 'leave it alone' method.

A brand is basically a third degree burn, and will easily become infected, so you want to make sure that you take care of it properly. Avoid getting debri into the wound, and avoid picking at it. When it comes to irritating and suffocating ta human brand, you'll find that the scarring will vary in places over the brand. Some areas of the brand may have raised scarring, whereas others may have just light scarring. You want to leave the human brand alone!

Let your body heal the burn naturally.

Keep in mind that brands are not like tattoos and are not going to be even. If you let your body heal the brand naturally, you'll find that you may see uneven scarring across the overall design. Sometimes the scar may migrate, and sometimes some areas may scar darker than others.

Also keep in mind that lines within a brand may heal up to three times the initial width of the brand. This means that when healing, the image may be distorted no matter how you choose to care for the brand.

Branding does not produce perfect lines like tattooing. Scars will migrate and can heal inconsistently leaving some areas more pronounced then others. Any lines formed during the branding process can be expected to heal to three times the initial wound width. So, with this factor alone, if you pick at the wound, you're going to have even more distortion because when you pick at a wound, you're not only pulling up the scab, but sometimes you can remove part of the healthy skin, which can cause more scarring outside of the brand.

And, if all else fails and you're not happy how the brand healed, you can have it re-branded once the tissue has completely healed. It's best to wait at least a full year before you try to re-brand though. If you decide that you don't want the brand or want to cover it up, you can have it tattooed over, as well, again wait at least a year.

Pictures of Branding

Branding is not one of the more popular body modifications, as there just aren't that many people skilled enough to do a proper brand. Plus, not that many people have really heard of them or are willing to get them, especially in comparison to tattoos.

Branding is a form of scarification where a heated material, usually a metal, is applied to the skin. The burn is generally pretty serious and eventually becomes a noticeable scar. It can be an area of thick, raised skin that can be just slightly darker than skin color, or it may be much darker once healed. The amount of scarring that you actually get from a brand will depend on your body and its ability to heal

Minors Getting Tattoos and Piercings

December 20th 2009 14:24
Belly buttons, nose piercings, cartilage piercings, and tattoos are all very common among young teenage girls and boys. Girls think they have to have their bodies pierced so that they're noticed, and boys will just be boys. But, is it right? Should parents really let their 13 year old daughter get her belly button pierced, or should dads go with their 14 year old sons for a first tattoo.

Personally, that's a no if you're asking me, but a parent will do what a parent wants to do when raising their child(ren). In some cases, it's easier to agree to it so that the child doesn't go behind the parent's back and do it anyway; at least that was one parent's excuse for letting her 15 year old daughter get a tattoo

Pictures of Industrial Piercings

December 11th 2009 00:48
Most people think of an industrial piercing as the one with the bar that goes left to right on the top of the ear through the cartilage, but it's really a piercing to which a single straight piece of jewelry connects two holes.

Industrial piercings are sometimes referred to as scaffold piercings or construction piercings

New Tattoo Aftercare Products

November 28th 2009 14:40
Remember to remove the wrap when you get home and do not re-wrap the new tattoo. It needs to breathe
When caring for a new tattoo, you want to make sure that you do your best at caring for it so that you can minimize any complications- infection, rejection, etc. You want to make sure that you can do your best to use proper care guidelines. Most tattoo artists will recommended aftercare tips after getting your new tattoo, and most will actually give you a care sheet. You should still take into consideration a few things that you don't want to do.

For example, some artists will actually recommend commercial aftercare products, such as Tattoo Goo, Ink Fixx, Tat Wax, Black Cat, and H2Ocean foam. These products have been created specifically to heal a tattoo, but they do come with risks. These products have healed tattoos, but they don't work for everyone and the risks are there and are great. There are ingredients in some of the products that can cause allergic reactions, as well as other skin reactions; so make sure to check the ingredients if you choose to use a commercial tattoo product

Wigs are great for many occasions, whether you're just looking for one for Halloween, or if you want to add something special to your clubbing outfit. Wigs have been popular throughout the ages for both men and women; in the 17th century, it was not uncommon to see men in white, powdered wigs and women with artificial hair
