I don’t own anything on this blog and have credited over 90% of these tattoos either back to the artist or the website I found it on. After using sites like Pinterest to start my own collection of tattoos for my own personal inspiration, I realized through all the sites I have sifted through that I can do this better! I have compiled works from all over the web (and some from my own life) that I have deemed beautiful or interesting works of ink, according to my tastes of course =) This blog is solely for tattoos and parts of tattooo culture!Tumblr (3.0; @etchedininkblog)http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzrsaeN0BD1qg8mkho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tattoosforpassionnotfashion.tumblr.com/post/18814025000/done-by-adam-barton">tattoosforpassionnotfashion</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>done by adam barton</p> </blockquote>http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/19764833375http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/19764833375Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:17:24 -0400tattootattooshourglassthornsvinewingsnew schoolbright color<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m197dq6eN61roitl2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My second tattoo (and technically my fourth as well)  A dumb spur-of-the-moment star tattoo turned into a memorial after losing one of my best friends of 13 years, my dog Kelli. She passed away September 12, 2009, a little over a week before my birthday.  I added the paw print two years after getting this originally and got some shitty line-work retouched in the process.</p> <p>I still miss my girl to this day.</p> <p>Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a></p>http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/19695029715http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/19695029715Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:22:00 -0400memorialdog memorialtattootattoosstarsstarpaw printdogbiosubmission<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m19711Ru6t1roitl2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My very own (this blog’s author) first and favorite tattoo.  I drew the original myself and the artist scaled it for me and permanently etched it onto my skin.  The artist was not of the greatest quality but the details are small and it is very close to looking like i tattooed it upon myself so I am happy with it!<br/><br/>I chose this for my first tattoo because 1. I love theater and would like a career in the field some day and 2. everyone’s life is constantly filled with both comedy and tragedy.  The theme of this and losing myself in the world of theater has helped me to grow and get through many of the tougher times in my life.  It is my only other true passion besides tattoos.</p> <p>Taken with <a

It contains scenes from “The Lorax”, “Yertle, the Turtle”, “The Sneetches”, and “Marvin K Mooney Will You Please Go Now”. This is a political piece, as I agree with the messages in these books. For those who don’t know “Yertle, the Turtle” is about Hilter’s rise and fall, “The Lorax” is about the destruction of the environment, “The Sneetches” is about the effects of racism, and “Marvin K Mooney” is about Watergate. This piece started out as a holocaust memorial, and the Hebrew in the falling path translates to “Remember”. </p> <p>I plan to add more to it, so it includes my entire thigh as well. “Horton Hears a Who”, “How the Grinch stole Christmas”, and “The Butter Battle Book” will definitely be added. </p> <p>Garrett at The Missing Piece in Spokane, Washington did this. </p> </blockquote>http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/18780809688http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/18780809688Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:21:18 -0500calf tattoodr. seussdr. seuss tattooleg piecetattootattoos<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsl2u8UcIr1qasqa8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tradtattoos.com/post/18692393777/lady-with-lantern-tattoo-by-jessica-bean">tattoome</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Lady with lantern #tattoo by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jessieinwonderland" title="http://www.myspace.com/jessieinwonderland">Jessica Bean</a></span></p> </blockquote> <p>She looks like a gypsy =D</p>http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/18705516739http://etchedininkblog.tumblr.com/post/18705516739Sat, 03 Mar 2012 22:51:15 -0500tattootattoosgypsy tattoopeacockhalf sleeve tattoohalf sleevecolor half sleevecolor tattoolanternflowers
