If your birth date falls between 23rd October and 21st November then according to the western astrology your sun sign is Scorpion Tattoo. One of the common traits among the lots of scorpion is they like tattoos and will spend any amount of time as well as money to get their desired tattoo.

Scorpion Tattoo DesignsFor scorpion tattoo design that matches their personality is the symbol of Scorpio itself. Out of twelve zodiac signs the most complex sign is of Scorpio. Most of zodiac sign has one symbol associated with them. Like Aries the ram, Sagittarius the archer etc. But Scorpio has more than one symbol. Scorpion, Phoenix and Eagle are the symbols of Scorpio sign.

Scorpion Tattoo DesignsThere are great scopes to design the scorpion tattoo as artists are not struck up with only one symbol. With three symbols there are lots of permutation and combination.

Scorpion Tattoo DesignsFinding the different types of scorpion designs is not difficult if you have access to internet. There are lots of free tattoo design sites that hosts many Scorpio tattoo designs. But I have found that the sketches in these free sites are mostly repeats. So, if you want something unique then the best approach if budget permit is to hire a good tattoo artist and tell him about your idea of scorpion tattoo.

Scorpion Tattoo DesignsFrom your ideas, tattoo artist will often come up with some fantastic design which is not only unique but looks quite amazing. If you are not satisfied with the first rough sketches of your artist then don't hesitate to tell him. Tell him what you like and what you don't in particular drawing. This way your artist will get the fairly good idea of what exactly you want. It is quite possible that you have to ask for 3-4 revisions before you get your desire scorpion tattoo.

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin: Pretty Much Everything

From WWD, by Jessica Iredale:

If you have opened a fashion magazine, or any magazine for that matter, over the last decade or so, you’ve seen the work of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, known in the industry simply as Inez and Vinoodh. The Dutch photographers (partners in work and life) are the creative eyes behind such contemporary imagery as the Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Yohji Yamamoto and Chloé ad campaigns, and editorial work that regularly appears in French Vogue, V, The New York Times and W. Starting Friday, a retrospective of 300 of their photographs from 1985 to 2010, titled “Pretty Much Everything,” will be on view at Amsterdam’s Foam Museum through Sept. 15. Next year, Taschen will expand on the exhibition with an epic tome of 666 photographs accompanied by original fiction by A.M. Homes. Here, van Lamsweerde speaks on behalf of the duo about its work — past, present and future.

On being labeled fashion photographers: We love what clothes do to build a character in your picture. There’s something that I find fascinating about the language of clothes. It’s kind of like a set of codes that everyone universally understands. A lot of people say, ‘Oh, I’m not into fashion. I don’t care about what I wear.’ But when they go for a job interview, they wear something different than [what they would wear] just to go work in the garden or pick up the kids from school. You are saying something with what you wear.

On her favorite models: Raquel Zimmermann, Daria Werbowy, Kate Moss and Anja Rubik. They all have this huge range. They’re mature, they’re grown up, they’re women who have had a life and experience. For about five or six years now we haven’t shot anyone under 18 for that reason, but also for the fact that we feel that the modeling business should not promote girls working under 18. They’re not out of school, their bodies aren’t developed yet, they don’t have a sense of self yet, sometimes they haven’t had sex yet. It’s hard to project all these things on someone who hasn’t had that experience.

On shooting celebrities: I actually love it. It’s like a conquest each time. It’s kind of like — I don’t want to say seduction, but it has that part to it. I never really try to talk someone into doing something they don’t want to….We usually have an idea ahead of time what we would like to do, what our fantasy would be on a celebrity, what part we would like to bring out or change. Usually I get quite a good sense in the first five minutes as to how much they want to play with you and how open they are.…The sitting is no longer than 15 to 20 minutes. A lot of people say that they feel hypnotized after they shoot with us because it’s a very, very, very focused, short period of time. Usually within the first five frames I have the picture.

On her dream subject: I would love to shoot Prince. I’m a fan. I think he’s inspiring and I love the way he moves his body and I think he’s a genius. And since there’s no more Michael Jackson, I would say he’d be the one.

Tribal Butterfly Tattoo Design

Tribal tattoo is usually done in deep blue or black. The tribal butterfly tattoo can also be done in green or have other colors intermingled in the design. It is commonly found in the traditions of Hawaii, Polynesia and New Zealand. The butterfly is a positive symbol of change.

The tribal butterfly tattoo has a long history. This implies it is steeped in meaning and ritual. It is thought the tribal butterfly image is the same as the one that is carved into the totem poles of various clans and tribes. Originally, a tattoo of a butterfly would have included the shape of the butterfly within a patterned design.

However, in the modern world more and more women are opting for a tribal butterfly tattoo. They want an image that is more realistic and easily recognizable as a butterfly. Women choose a butterfly that is tribal because they are very pretty, fragile and can be colorful. This definitely suits the psyche of women as opposed to those who prefer a much darker expression in their tattoos.

This tattoo is perfect for placement on your upper shoulder or arm. Many people do have this tattoo placed on their ankle or wrist. Butterfly tattoo designs are also being placed more frequently on the back of the neck. Women are particularly fond of this. When they wear their hair down the tattoo is hidden. When they wear their hair up the tattoo is revealed.

In most cultures the butterfly is a creature of mystery. A rather ugly caterpillar changes into a beautiful butterfly. The tattoo can be a symbol of positive change. Individuals who are free spirited very often opt for this universal symbol of freedom. The butterfly is also admired for its great beauty and so it is a symbol that is chosen by women.

The tattoo can be as intricate or as simple as you want it to be. Men who use this tattoo usually opt for one that has a single tone. However, these tattoo designs can have as many colors as your tattooist feels is possible. When this tattoo is worn by a man it has a completely different look to the one worn by a woman. Tribal art can take on the appearance of strength or fragility.

It is thought women also love this tattoo because in real life a butterfly is so hard to catch. Its great beauty makes us want to catch it but it always seems to be just out of reach. The symbolism of this creature is captured with this tattoo. Tattooists also enjoy this design because it allows them to use many tones if you want them to.

The tribal butterfly tattoo is a symbol that is understood by all cultures. It can also be one of the designs small enough to be kept personal. There are a surprising number of people who have a personal tattoo. A tribal butterfly tattoo is so attractive it appeals to a wide number of people.
