Two Years Ago Today......
"So, there you have it. The inaugural tattoo on Tattoosday here at
BillyBlog. It should be interesting to see what else I can come up with
from strangers, or if I have to revert to friends to help me in this
project."
That's what I wrote two years ago today on my original site BillyBlog.
Little did I know how much this once weekly feature would turn into such a significant aspect of my life. In little over a month, I had spun Tattoosday off of BillyBlog, from a recurring character to a site of its own.
And we have grown! This month we will have our biggest visitor load of our short career here, reaching just under 30,000 hits. This month also marked a quarter of a million hits since Tattoosday stood alone in September 2007.
And we have our sights set even higher.
I once again want to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the blog, from the occasional visitors, to the rabid fans, from the enthusiastic tourists and New Yorkers who have contributed their work, to the talented tattoo artists who created that work.
And most of all, I want to thank my friends and family, who have seen my passion for tattoo writing, and have supported me whole-heartedly. And to my beautiful wife Melanie, who is my biggest cheerleader, most avid supporter, and one of the most understanding women I know. Not may wives would be keen on their husbands taking pictures of tattoos of strange women
(and men) they've met on the street. But she is my number one fan. And I love her all the more for it.
A week from tomorrow my oldest daughter Jolee, who inspired this, my first tattoo, will be celebrating her bat mitzvah. The week ahead will be filled with planning and visits from family, so I am taking a week off in posting, so I can focus my energies on this landmark event.
Rest assured, I have two dozen tattoo posts in the queue and will likely be unable to restrain myself from collecting more photos and stories in the week to come.
I will resume posting on August 9th or 10th.
I thank everyone for their continued support and words of encouragement.

Rihanna’s Finger Tattoo Love
Rihanna, was spotted with her new ‘Love’ tattoo, etched very carefully between her fingers. Rihanna looked in no mood of flaunting her new fortune, as she was quite busy with her phone and fans at the Cannes airport. Rihanna got this one too, on her recent visit to the tattoo parlour, where she got her starry tattoos etched on the neck. Does her ‘Love’ tattoo hint that she’s in love and is gearing to adorn herself for Valentine? Well, whatever the case may be, this latest tattoo is also very pretty like her other body arts.
Hello Kitty Jesus Tattoo and Hello Kitty Zombie Tattoo
Hello Kitty fanatics did it again this is a Zombie Tattoo with hello kitty.
I thought there is no way in Hell (Hello Kitty or otherwise) that anyone would ever get a Hello Kitty Jesus tattoo. Hello Kitty fanatics are wacko, but there is a line even they will not cross, right? I have had that delusion too, but it always proves to be wrong because fanatics of the evil feline don’t know what a line looks like that shouldn’t be crossed.

Christian Cross Tattoos
Some cross tattoos show Jesus on the cross, while others show the cross, often with realistic wood graining, with a crown of thorns hung over one arm. Other cross tattoos consists of crossed nails such as big, rough looking nails like those that were used to hang Jesus on the cross.
Other popular Christian cross tattoo images include the Celtic cross (probably one of the most popular Christian tattoos of all), the Russian cross, and the Egyptian 'ankh', a cross with a circular shape on top, the ancient Egyptian symbol for 'life'.
Besides the cross, there are other Christian images that are often used in Christian cross tattoos. The fish symbol is a great illustration based on assorted biblical references, a stylized fish symbol is frequently used as a symbol of Christ. This is a compact, but quite prominent symbol that lends itself well to tattooing, especially in black.
However, there are also other tattoos that may be gang related such as the Hispanic Christian Cross Tattoos.
They are an interesting sub-group. If you know anything about their traditions, you won't be too surprised to learn that most Mexicans and other Hispanic people, even though they are involved in gangs or other criminal activities, are deeply religious and rely on their Christian symbols to both identify and protect them.
These Christian cross tattoos are rather complex, many involve a tattooed image of a saint, Jesus, or the Virgin Mary. Hispanic tattoos often have words, as well, usually a Bible verse, perhaps accompanied by a loved one's name. Many Mexican gang members have multiple sophisticated tattoos, allowing the individual to literally wear his identity and emotions on his skin, if not his sleeve!

Nautical Star Tattoo - Pictures
Bon Voyage!Have a Safe trip Home, this is the wish made by the Nautical Star tattoo for all humans . This marine Nautical Star tattoo dates back to the time when the art of tattooing began. Sailors would refer to this North Star as a reference point to sail and reach the shores when the means of navigation was only the celestial help.
They started getting the star tattooed on their forearm (mostly), as a good luck charm that would help them reach their homes safe. Time flies and so did the meaning. Finding your path to success, standing up for anti-racism, a good luck sign are few impressions that individuals have made of the Star.
Whatever you think, this Nautical Star tattoo will always be the proud possession of the sailors, wishing them a Safe Trip, Home.
