Perfect Palm Tree Tattoos | Eternal Keep it Wet 0

Summer is here (finally!) and as far as we can tell, it looks like it might be here to stay.  One of the most beautiful trees that really represents summer is the Palm Tree.  Although they aren't native to the UK, if you're heading to a sunny holiday destination this year, then chances are you'll be surrounded by beautiful Palm Trees, whether you're on the beach or by the pool, or just walking down the road!

Palm Trees make for beautiful tattoos, as even though they tend to look similar in appearance and colour, they're pretty versatile and can be well-represented by a number of different styles. 

 

Tattoos in the Summertime - Keep them protected | Tattoo Goo Renew with SPF 30 0

For many places around the UK this week, the sun is finally shining!  We've seen highs of around 23 degrees in the North-West, and according to the weatherman, we're due some more hot weather very soon!  If like many of us, you have lots of beautiful tattoos that you love to showcase, then you'll be just as excited as we are about the sunny weather - (we're so excited about being able to ditch our winter coats and head to the beach!), but with the scorching hot sun and its UV rays comes a lot of unwanted annoyances like sun-burn and skin damage. 

Incredible Head Tattoos | Radiant Ink Trad Set 0

Head tattoos are great for those who want maximum visibility when it comes to their tattoos, but equally, they can be particularly discreet if you want them to be, which is the beauty of head tattoos. If you choose to wear your hair in a really short or shaved style, then you can proudly display your head tattoo to the world all the time.  If you don't want your head tattoo to be in complete visibility at all times, then you have the option to grow your hair to cover it as much as you want.  

Beautiful Vegan-inspired Tattoos | Spirit Vegan Transfer Cream 0

Over the past coupe of years, there's been a significant rise in the number of people choosing veganism and opting for a plant-based cruelty free diet.  This also means ridding themselves of any animal products such as leather and suede, and turning away from any cosmetic products that are tested on animals.  Veganism is now bigger than ever before, and it seems that the tattoo industry has a lot to be credited for when it comes to the increasing number of people choosing veganism. 

Tattoo Laws in South Korea | Buy Radiant Turbo Black Online 0

A while ago we blogged about the illegality of tattooing in Japan, and how the laws surrounding tattooing had changed again and again over the past century. But, it's not just Japanese tattoo artists facing difficulty with the law in their careers, but artists in Korea too. At Magnum Tattoo Supplies where you can buy Radiant Turbo Black online, we're interested to know about how tattoo laws effect the tattoo industry in other countries, so today we wanted to have a look at one country in particular. 

'The Scream' painting immortalised in the form of tattoos | Talens Black Drawing Ink 0

I'm a massive lover of art, and I recently visited The National Museum of Oslo during my visit to Norway last weekend.  There were so many beautiful paintings there done by Norwegian artists, and there was plenty of impressive Renaissance art there that was created by some of the masters of Norwegian art, so it was a really breathtaking experience.  Although I love Renaissance art and oil paintings, and I am completely in awe of the mastery and skill that has gone into this particular medium, my favourite painting (and the focal piece of the museum) is The Scream, by expressionist painter Edvard Munch.  There were 4 versions of this piece by Munch, done with paints and pastels, and it was really exciting to be able to encounter one of these pieces!  

It's such an iconic piece of art, so it wasn't surprising for me to learn that there are some tattoo fans out there who loved the Munch painting that much that they decided to immortalise the art work on their skin.
