What food should you eat during the tattoo healing process? 0

I recently read an article about the best foods to after you get a tattoo.  It’s not something I’d ever put too much thought into, and I hadn’t really considered the Science behind it, pre- any of my tattoos.  From the first couple of tattoo experiences I had, I quickly decided that it was best to arm myself with a bottle of Lucozade during the tattoo process (even though I absolutely hate it), and before any new tattoos, I’d try and eat a big meal, something carby and substantial, or if I didn’t have time for this, then I’d at least go and buy a bar of chocolate to ensure I had enough sugar in me to get through the tattoo (although I think this is more of a comfort thing!).  So making sure I didn’t get tattooed on an empty stomach seemed like a logical thing for me to do, but I hadn’t ever considered what I should be eating after being tattooed, and until now, I never knew the importance of eating the right kind of foods, post-tattoo.

A Charity Dog Day at Lord Nelson Tattoos, Chester 0

Last weekend, the guys at Lord Nelson Tattoos in Chester held a Charity Dog Day to raise money for Merseyside Dogs Home.  Every penny raised was donated to the dog’s home, who take in more stray dogs than any other rescue home on Merseyside.  They’re the smallest dog’s home, but work most effectively to ensure that all the dogs there find their forever homes!  They rely heavily on the support of the public to provide the dogs with the care and attention they need, and I think it’s amazing that these guys dedicated their time and efforts to such a good cause.  Donations were also made in the form of dog food, which is a great help to Merseyside Dogs Home.

'Appearance does not reflect character, capability, or morals' - Tattoos in the workplace | Tattoo Equipment 0

A topic of discussion that frequently tends to crop between my friends and I, is tattoos in the workplace.  Now, I understand that depending on the industry you work in, tattoos will either be accepted, frowned upon, or just totally unacceptable.  Certain workplaces don’t openly welcome or encourage body art, but because of the nature of the job, they can’t, and won’t discriminate against it, while others simply will not employ people based on their appearance.  I recently read an article about a petition that’s been formed in Canada to make it illegal to discriminate against people with tattoos, and it really got me thinking about the tattoo discrimination that still takes place in the UK today.

Brilliant Bowie Tattoos! | Buy Tattoo Supplies Online 0

One of my all-time favourite musicians is David Bowie.  In previous years I've seen quite a lot of David Bowie tattoos, but since David's death in 2016, there's definitely been an increase in the tattoo tributes from Bowie fans, and I think it's lovely.  I'd contemplated a Bowie tattoo myself, but have never got round to it, (and hopefully in the future I will!).  My favourite Bowie era, much to some people's suprise is the 80's era, so if I were to get a tribute, it'd have to be based on his 80's look!  I love his aesthetic in the video for 'Let's Dance', so I think that'd be the look I go for with his big blonde hair! 
Let's check out some of these amazing Bowie tattoos, based on different Bowie eras that hardcore Bowie fans have decided to get!

Tattooed restaurant customer didn't fit the 'target market' | Tattoo Cartridges 0

I recently read quite a shocking newspaper article from September, about a man who was asked to leave an Aukland restaurant because of his head tattoos.  Aaron, the man in question visited the 'upmarket' establishment with a female friend, and minutes after taking their seats, they were approached by the restaurant owner who asked them to leave, as he didn't think Aaron was the right 'target market' for the restaurant, and he didn't fit the dress code.  The owner told him he could not serve them because of how heavily tattooed he was.

8 Fabulous Pet Portraits! | True Gent Cartridge Supplier 0

A tattoo trend that I'm absolutely crazy about is Pet Portraits! As a lover of animals (and owner and best pal to a beautiful Golden Retriever), there's nothing I love more than seeing tattoos of people's beloved cats, dogs, and everything else in between.
Just as people choose to get tribute tattoos of family members to honour their loved ones, past and present, I think it's particularly touching when people decide to honour and immortalise their pets on their skin - and the best thing about it is the personal touches that can be added to really encapsulate the individual characteristics and personality of the pet.
