Dragon Tattoos – Tips For Finding the Perfect Dragon Tattoo
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on February 20, 2012
Men who love to have their bodies inked are drawn to dragon tattoos. this design simply appeals to them. People who have no background about dragons may find this bizarre, but to those who know most, if not all the things about dragons, they would really search far and wide for the perfect design for them.
For those who do not have a hunch of the significance of dragon tattoos and their symbolism, allow me to share an overview. Aside from the obvious reason that dragons are strong and mystical, they have alluring qualities, based on folklore and myth that have made them the most sought after designs by people. Examples of these qualities are good luck, charm, source of wealth, courage and bravery, power, and freedom. And because of these qualities also, an equal number of women have them on their body.
Now, knowing the general idea about dragons is not the end of the quest. That was just the beginning in finding the perfect dragon tattoo for you. You may wonder why? Aren’t all dragons supposed to be the same? the answer is no. Not all dragons are the same. There are two types of dragons and each type has different breeds, depending on their origins. Because of that, the first tip in finding your great dragon pattern is to know the answer to the question, what kind of dragon are you? You have to know if you are a western type of dragon or an eastern type.
To differentiate these two, you have to know their characteristics. Western dragons are known to be fierce, evil and mercilessly throw fire to anyone living. Eastern dragons on the other hand, are good and serve as guardians. the best known eastern dragons are Chinese, Japanese and Korean dragons. all of them have their specific virtues that are loved by people.
The second point you need to consider is the place where you ink your design. the area where you tattoo your dragon is important. the spot can give life to your dragon. From the shoulder going to the front is a good place to animate your dragon design. this can be good for men. the lower back is also excellent. Both men and women can use this part of their body. the final tip is the color of your ink. Dragons are trademarks of certain cultures. Black ink is safe but putting additional colors into the design is acceptable as well. however putting too many colors may no longer be as perfect as you wanted your dragon tattoo to be. And so, it is also wise to ask the opinion of the tattoo artists because they are experts in this field.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Scene
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on February 4, 2012
So I was at the movie theater last night with my boyfriend (we’ve been dating for about 3 years) and the scene in the movie came on where Elizabeth is raped. I knew going into the movie that they would show something like this but it was so incredibly graphic I started sobbing in the theater. I walked out and composed myself and my bf checked on me but I feel so terrible because he was probably really embarrassed (because people around us heard me).
He said it was fine and comforted me but I feel bad. Should I do something to apologize to him for that?
admin answers:
You don’t have to apologize. its not your fault. I am a boy and i don’t really cry over rape scenes but your boyfriend must have understood you since he said its okay.
So chill and enjoy your life.:)
Tattoo Designs – 4 Chinese Tattoo Symbols and What They Mean
Posted by Metro in Uncategorized on January 30, 2012
Tattoos of Chinese symbols have maintained their popularity over a long period of time. There are a number of reasons: a wearer can express an idea or an emotion with one or two characters; to a non-Chinese speaking person it is different and exotic, with an air of mystery; there are thousands of symbols from which to choose to make it easier find the right one. some characters have changed little over several thousand years, which links the wearer to an ancient people who have one of the earliest forms of writing.
Chinese Dragon Character Tattoo
The Chinese dragon is probably one of the most recognized images in the world. anyone seeing it knows it is uniquely Chinese. it is seen on gowns, pottery, furnishings and decorations. it is one of the most popular Asian signs
In Chinese culture, the dragon is seen as the strongest symbol of good fortune. it is seen as a creature of power and magic and as a friend to humans. it will bestow benevolence and good fortune. it stands for abundance, success and prosperity. it is also seen as a connection to the supernatural – a connection between heaven and earth. A Chinese dragon character as a tattoo design can connect to an ancient culture and mythology.
Chinese Strength Tattoo
Some Chinese characters date back to ancient times; the symbol for Strength is one of those. the Emperor’s elite guards wore it. the character itself is said to resemble a tendon or a muscle. it means strength, power, force or capability. This symbol is said to bring physical strength, stamina and good health. it will also bring good fortune to those who wear it.
Chinese Love Tattoo
This is a powerful symbol that can express any type of love – lover, mother and father, wife or husband. it is an all-encompassing sign for love. the good part about that is you can decide who is the object of your love. like all Chinese symbols this will bestow good fortune.
Chinese Zodiac Tattoo
Like the Western Zodiac signs there are 12 Chinese signs. the difference is the Chinese signs are for the year of birth rather than the day of birth. the Chinese also use animals for each year – Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. the Zodiac signs are actually characters representing that animal for the year. it is thought a person will take on some of the characteristics of their birth animal. These characteristics are listed in a similar way to the ones listed in the Western Horoscope. There is one Chinese symbol that means Zodiac but this is then modified to a person’s month of birth. This is another sign that is seen as very lucky. it is a connection to the universe and is a positive force.
These are just a few of the Chinese symbols that can help you express yourself in an interesting and exotic way. you can even choose a style of calligraphy that you may feel suits your personality. to make sure you get the character you want it is important to do your own research and then talk to an artist who is familiar with the symbols or who has knowledge of Chinese.

Donald Simrock – The Creator

I produce one or more shoots for each issue based on its content. I keep a finger on the pulse of the beauty trends and follow beauty companies with their newest creations. It’s a lot of fun!
Your work has been nominated for best makeup at the Mtv Video Music Awards. Do you have aspirations to branch out into film like your former mentor, Pat McGrath, who created Rooney Mara’s look for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
While I’m not mapping out a plan to blaze into the film industry, I would be willing to take on the challenge. It’s a completely different machine. Pat did, as she always does, an incredible job leaving her mark in history yet again.
When you worked with Lady Gaga did you have carte blanche when creating her look or was the effort collaborative?
I was brought on initially by her management to establish a solid look for Gaga. Sort of a “polishing” to get the ball rolling. We worked together and she was always very trusting. it was a lot of fun to talk about the game plan with her before each project. she has worked very hard to get where she is now. It’s pretty amazing actually.
What is your beauty philosophy?
Honesty, confidence, compassion and diligence reveal true beauty for me.
Advertisers are slowly acknowledging the economic power of older women and catering their advertising as such. What do you think about the West’s preoccupation with youth?
Advertising plays a major role in creating the ideals of beauty. We live in a world where breast impants and botox injections are common among teenagers and plastic surgeons have payment plans. I would say that advertisers are fully aware of who has the greater economic power [women] and advertise accordingly. a younger, successful looking woman in an advert appeals to both a younger market as well as the more mature market for different reasons. Kind of killing two birds with one stone, if you will.
What are your influences and how do you incorporate them into your work?
I tend to be influenced by all kinds of things: art, nature, history, architecture, culture, you name it. The fun part is figuring out ways to translate them into another context like make up. the possibilities are endless.
How have you evolved as an artist over your career?
You learn the mechanics of your industry, you become more efficient, more informed and continue to grow throughout. It’s a constant state of evolution, a work in progress.
You’re known for your flawless finish and perfecting skin. What are a few tricks you can share with our readers to achieve that effect at home?
It all starts with what you put in your body. Eat clean and drink lots of water. Keep it simple. Moisturize well before putting any product on. Make sure to match your foundation and concealor properly. Work in thin layers rather than coating your face all at once. Some of my absolute favorite companies are M.a.C, Tom Ford, Temptu, Lancome, Urban Decay, Yves St. Laurent and Embryolisse.
You’ve been known to take everyday objects and transform them into makeup. Can you tell us about your process and how you translate the world to the face.
It’s fun to use unconventional items for make up. A jar of poppy seeds, a piece of string, or a sheet of plastic definitely have the possibility of becoming “makeup”. the challenge comes in finding the best way to apply these kinds of items and how to display them effectively. Sometimes the intent is to make the item blend in; to actually belong there. sometimes you want to make a statement and be more bold. Variety is the spice of life.
