Historically tattoos have been present in most cultures at one time or another. There are beautiful myths and traditions surrounding tattoos and of course some not so pleasant.

Since the early 1990s tattoos have seen a huge resurgence in our culture. It is estimated that well over 52 million people have one or more tattoos in North America. This trend is also very popular in Europe.

In our recent past, tattoos were relegated to the realm of gangs, criminal and hardcore bikers. Today, tattoos are a way of expressing our individuality, showing or not in some cases, what is important to us. Dom and I love tattoos, but we are always careful not to get gang or prison tattoos -for information on not what to do visit our site at findtattoodesign.com

So, who is sporting extraordinary, unique tattoos? Here is a list of some of our most popular modern day celebrities:

Angelina Jolie has to be one of our favourites. She is a sensual take me as I am type of woman and her tattoos reflect her own unique style. One of the most popular is a Southeast Asia dragon on her lower back. She has Brad and all of her children symbolizing her commitment to them. It would seem that Angelina will never sport the popular girly tattoos.

Amy Winehouse has tattoos that dont follow any rhyme or reason. We think she just likes what she likes and does not worry about how they fit together. So far no angel wing tattoos though where would she place them?

We would highly recommend David Beckham autobiography my side which a personal insight to his tattoos and their meaning. He rates right up there with celebrities that really think about their ink.

Is it possible that Nicole Ritchie will soon be showing off Aztec armbands to accent her other nine tats? While it would be a nice finish, only time will tell.

Rap star Lil Waynes tattoos has tattoos that reflect his past. They certainly have that gangsta feel he is one of our most heavily tattooed celebrities.

It would be unfair not to mention Victoria Beckham as well. Posh Spice bears skin art with true commitment. Stars on her lower back, offer a fitting tribute to her children. While on the inside of her wrist the initials D.B. serve a fitting tribute to her husband. Even more permanent that a wedding ring I believe.

Well Britney Spears ” is Britney Spears. While she has a number of small tattoos, they dont show a lot of original thought or any inspiration.

An advocate of ink is Lindsay Lohan. While she has a few, one in particular is rather thought provoking, and that is the word breathe in white ink on the inside of her left wrist. A reminder that the most important thing to do is breathe, after that its all good.

Alyssa Milano is a firm believer that every tattoo must have meaning and be important. Her tattoos all have a special meaning to her, and that is what a tattoo is all about, isn’t it?

What article would be complete without mentioning Johnny Depp. It is reported that all of his tattoos are to remember his lifes journey. There is no better reason to get inked than to remind you of the people, places and accomplishments you have had on your journey. Kudos to Johnny.
