I recently discovered a website that sells high quality cosmetics to cover up tattoos.  They claim that their products are used by Hollywood makeup artists to obscure their body art for movies and film.  Check out their website http://www.tattoocosmetics.com/ and see for yourself.

This could be a great product for women looking to cover their tattoos for an event such as a wedding or office party where they do not want their tattoos to show.  They offer several bases to go with many skin tones.  I am thinking of trying it out myself to see if it works.

If you do try this out, please let me know, I would love to know how it worked for you.  Rather than removing a tattoo you love or suffering through wearing bulky clothing in hot weather just to hide your tattoo, this could be a great solution.

Some days, I get beautiful requests for tattoos based upon personal experiences or inspiring artwork that they client has encountered.  And some days, I get a request that has a bit of both of these qualities!

In this case, the client had photos of a beautiful jade pendant made by sculptor Matthew Glasby that he wished to have tattooed on his ribs.  He was kind enough to put me in touch with the artist after we had completed his tattoo, so now we can share with you the source of the beautiful mobius strip pendant sculpture.

Brian, my client, writes, "My partner and I stopped by The Phoenix at Nepenthe on what was likely the most wonderful trip I have ever been on in terms of connection with my partner and our future.  To this end, I saw a pendant that you carved and it immediately spoke to the connection that had been made and the future.  In addition, when the sales women told me that you were a local surfer and traveled to NZ to be mentored I felt a great connection…..so I purchased it.  After purchasing I decided that I wanted to piece to be a bit more permanent so upon returning to Connecticut I visited a very talented tattoo artist and had your piece tattooed on my rib cage."

Check out Glasby's website Jade Art and Sculpture to see more of his work, and get inspired! 

There are all sorts of cosmetic tattooing out there, and the latest to become popular is a technique that replicates a buzz haircut on balding men.

HIS (Hair-Ink-Skin) Hair researched and launched the technique that uses tattooing to replicate the look of microhairs on the scalp.  By using small needles and various shades of browns, the tattoos result in a look that mimics a shaved head.  For men who suffer from male pattern baldness, this is just the thing to help them out - it looks like they have simply chosen to have an extrememly short haircut rather than not having any hair at all.

Because early hair loss can cause such traumatic feelings, this technique has the potential to give confidence and a youthful feeling back to men suffering from the condition.  HIS Hair is raking in the business, and men can purchase a faux head of hair for £2000, or about $3150.

Check out the article about HIS Hair's costmetic tattooing technique in Mail Online to see photos of completed tattoos, and a peek at their "revolutionary equipment" which looks to me like a tattoo machine and some ink, nothing too innovative there.

For those who are experiencing male pattern baldness and don't mind a flashy alternative to replicated hair, traditional tattoo studios offer headpiece tattoos; designs that cover the head and can range from tribal to photorealism.  If you are someone who is looking for a tattoo on the scalp, shoot us an email or give us a call and we will discuss your idea and make it happen!
