Iguana Tattoo
1) Symbolism – iguana tattoos and other types of lizard tattoos are usually used to symbolize the human soul's search for light. However, there are other symbolisms attributed to this type of tattoo. Before getting an iguana tattoo, you should make sure that you know what it symbolizes. You should try to find a meaning that you can identify with.
An iguana tattoo costs pain to get and also costs pain to remove. You should try to make that pain worthwhile and try to find an iguana tattoo that symbolizes something very powerful in your life. However, remember that all symbols are subject to interpretation. Remember that your interpretation of an iguana tattoo may not necessarily be the same interpretation that others hold. When you realize this fact, you should also remember that your interpretation is the one that holds more weight.
2) Identification – some people may not find any symbolic interpretations of iguana tattoos that they can identify with. However, they still get this type of tattoo mainly because they can identify with the animal. Do you have any distinct characteristics that are similar to an iguana's? Of course, this does not mean that you look like an iguana.
Identifying yourself with the different traits of an iguana means you need to do some research about iguanas. Can you identify yourself as a survivor? If you think you are, then you should get an iguana tattoo because iguanas are animals which are able to remain active when other lizards have already retreated from the heat.
3) Interests – there are people who get iguana tattoos mainly because of their interests in the animal. Some people who get iguana tattoos may have pet iguanas or at least hope to own one someday. Some people may consider iguanas to be their favorite animals and may have various reasons for thinking so. The point is, they have very distinct interests for iguanas.
4) Artistry – when you have thought about your personal reasons for getting an iguana tattoo, it's time to decide which iguana tattoo to get. You could opt for something simple and which wouldn't hurt when being drawn. You could also opt for an intricate iguana tattoo, with shades of color that would astound every beholder.
Nowadays, people are able to get designs through the internet and have those designs copied by a local tattoo artist. When getting an iguana tattoo, be sure that you know exactly where you will be getting it. You need to pick a place which could assure your health as well as the artistry of the iguana tattoo. Talk to different people to get recommendations about the place where you are going to get your iguana tattoo.
5) Placement – the placement of the iguana tattoo is also important. Some people like to place their iguana tattoo on a place where flexing of the muscles would make the tattoo move. This gives the tattoo a lifelike appearance when they move. Teenagers sometimes like to place their first tattoos where they are hidden, unseen by their parents or by anyone they do not want to see.

Chinese dragon has been a symbol of power and mystery
For centuries, the Chinese dragon has been a symbol of power and mystery. Depicted in countless legends, both Eastern and Western, the dragon has provoked man to fear and worship it. In medieval Europe, it was a bloodthirsty, fire-breathing figure. Its malevolence and ferociousness struck terror in all. However, in Asia, it is the contrary. The mighty dragon is a mythical beast long celebrated for its benevolence, intelligence and good will. The Chinese dragon has been a common symbol of identity for Far Eastern cultures.

kat von D tattoo - inspiration girl tattoo
Kat Von D was born in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Her father is René Von Drachenberg and her mother is Sylvia Galeano. Her parents were born in Argentina but her father's ancestry is German and her mother's is Spanish and Italian [1]. Kat, a middle child, has a sister named Karoline and a brother named Michael. She moved to Los Angeles at age 4 and grew up in Colton, California. She credits the prominent Latino culture of Los Angeles as being a major influence drawing tattoos in her art and style.[2] She began listening to the Ramones, the Misfits and other punk rock bands at the age of 12. She quit school at 14 to become a tattoo artist.[3][4]Von D was asked to work at Miami Ink when Darren Brass had broken his elbow.[5] She had a falling out with Ami James which led to her leaving Miami Ink. She has said that she hasn't spoken with any of the members of Miami Ink since her departure. [6]
Following this she got her own show, LA Ink. In the show, she works at her tattoo shop, High Voltage Tattoo, in Hollywood, California. On the show, she gained the Guinness World Record of most tattoos given by a single person in 24 hours, with a total of 400.[7] This was broken shortly after by her ex husband Oliver Peck with 415, and then later was smashed by Derek Kastning with 726.[8]
She has a book compiling her artworks and tattoos, which was released in January 2009, called "High Voltage Tattoo" with a foreword by Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx. The book traces Von D's career as an artist, from early childhood influences to recent work, along with examples of what inspires her, information about the show and her shop, her sketches, and personal tattoos. In a January 2009 interview on Anytime with Bob Kushell, Von D said about the book: "It's not an autobiography, you know, 'cause I'm too young to do that. But this is just kind of like a picture-driven outline of my career as an artist. So, you see everything from my drawings when I was six to tattoos that have never before been seen."[9] She was one of the contributors to Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna's book Cherry Bomb in which she gave tips on tattooing.
Von D created a make-up line for Sephora,[10] and is the creator of the Musink festival.[11]
Von D married fellow tattoo artist Oliver Peck in 2004, but divorced in 2007 and began dating Nikki Sixx. However, on January 24th, 2010, Nikki posted a MySpace blog saying: "I want to wish Katherine nothing but the best in her life. She has loved and inspired the hell outta me and I know I have done the same for her in these almost two years we ruled the earth together. We are taking a break from our relationship for reasons that we will choose to keep personal. You won't find me saying a bad word about her and I don't believe vice versa, we have too much wonderful history together to ever deface that." As of approximately March 2010, the couple are back together, confirmed on both Sixx's twitter and radio show, Sixx Sense. below is a picture of tattoo designs from kat von d
