According to data collected by the Verfaille studio, 63% of allZodiac tattoos They have lions. "In 2021, we did 136 lion tattoos in our studio. It's more than one three days," said Verfaille. "So, in our opinion, you cannot go less original than with a lion tattoo."

Von d was struck by a trial for copyright violation in June 2022 - said thefirst tattoo artist To cope with this type of costume, by Bloomberg. A jury in California will have to decide whether the copyright protection of the photo also applies to tattoos.

"In this spirit, customers must be careful and aware of the drawings they choose, as it could put them, the tattoo artist and the tattoo (the tattoo artist in particular) at the risk of facing a trial," said Clark.

Runes and ancient symbols have become more popular,Tabby Farrar, ancientTattoo studio receptionist and editor of Justcantsettle.com, tellsBetter life. However, they can also be problematic.

"Sometimes people do not realize that symbols or graphics that appear elsewhere in popular culture could have a second meaning or be offensive in one way or another," explains Farrar. "For example, Nordic runes are a popular choice now - people who are in folklore or paganism get them, as well as fans of pop culture moments like theVikings Television program orNorth film."

Farrar notes that they can "seem an ideal design", especially for those who want a "cute, esoteric and interesting" symbol for their first tattoo. But it directly points to the Rune of Algiz, which has different meanings and associations for a range of crops, but was also "co -opted" by the Nazi party and white supremacists.

"All runes do not have an offensive modern sense, and there are people who think it is important to" recover "these types of old stolen symbols," says Farrar. "When you see teenage girls walking with runes tattooed on the neck and wrists, or sometimes behind their ears, you must ask yourself if they are fully aware of what these symbols could mean with someone else who sees. "

She recommends opting for other tattoos with "a little folklore attached", like contours of standing stones, diving stems and phases of the moon and the sun, which "were not reused in the way in which many runes. "

If this is your first tattoo, the memes will also stand out and "will be the first thing that someone's eye is attracted if your skin is mainly empty," she said. "The memes make good t-shirts and pin badges, but if you plan to get a tattoo, I really suggest you wait a year to see if you still want to make this call."

Another choice of popular tattooing is a pocket watch. These old -fashioned timers are certainly cool to watch, and you can choose from different watches and "adjust" it to display a specific moment forever.

According to Verfaille, customers often choose to define the time for the birthday or time at which a child was born, or to commemorate the moment when a family member has passed. But if you plan that the pocket watch celebrates or marks a more romantic moment, Verfaille says you should jump it.

"We really do not recommend someone to put time when they have met their significant other," she explains. "If the relationship breaks, there are really not many options to cover or change the pointers of a pocket watch."

Anyway, think about it before you go to the tattoo fair.
