Geek Temporary Tattoos: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:45:45 -0700

Usually I'm all "Holy schneikes" when I see a geek tattoo, but here's some body art I can wholly endorse: Temporary Geek Tattoos ($8)!

Express your love for coding and gaming with something that will come off with some baby oil and a cotton ball; I don't care how much you think you love saying pwned now, I mean, even the Zune guy is getting his removed!

Darth Vader Tattoo Design T-Shirt: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:02:28 -0800

Marc Ecko is really establishing himself as the mainstream go-to for Star Wars apparel, after having introduced the Boba Fett Hoodie and Storm Trooper Hoodie.

And he's not content to stop there. There's a whole SW shop up - with one of my favorite new pieces being this Darth Vader T-Shirt with a tattoo-inspired design ($34). It's sort of Ed Hardy meets Star Wars, and the intersection is so fun and kitschy, I think I might be into it.

It's definitely a way I've never seen Luke's father - but is that a good or bad thing?

Are You Into Tattoos?

DearSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 11:00:00 -0700

Tattoos hurt and they're permanent, and these are two very good reasons that I don't have any - but that's not to say that I don't appreciate them! I totally respect the fact that they often represent an idea, a person, a memory, a place, a special date, or are just an artistic design a person has a connection with or loves.

The fact still remains that I am a huge wimp when it comes to pain and needles -- I can't even deal with one shot of Novocaine -- so I'm sure I would go absolutely ballistic if I got a tattoo. I'll stick to showing off my individuality in other ways.

What about you - are you into tattoos? Do you have any? Are you attracted to people who have tattoos, or are they a huge turn off for you? Does it depend on what or where the tattoo is? Have you ever dated anyone with a memorable tattoo? I want to hear it all.

How Far Would You Go to Express Your Love?

DearSugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:00:00 -0700

We see celebrities showing their affection for loved ones in various ways all the time. Some go so far to make their statement permanent, Angelina Jolie and Melanie Griffith to name a few, while others take the safe route, opting for things far less binding like Madonna and Paris Hilton. Since Hollywood relationships are so volatile, one would think these celebs would have learned their lesson by now, but I guess not - new tattoos are popping up every day.

I've never gone to any such extremes to express my love for someone, but have you? Even if you feel like your relationship will last forever, would you do something that was a permanent display of your feelings? I'm curious ladies, how far would you go to express your love and devotion for someone?

Turn On or Turn Off: Tattoos

DearSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700

I’ve always had this fantasy about getting a gorgeous tattoo scrawled across my wrist or hip bone, but I’d never go through with it. Really, tattoos just aren’t my style on my own body or on a guy’s. But some women absolutely love a man covered in tattoos. I guess there’s just something about all those colors and lines that make them go gaga. Though I can’t say a couple of tattoos would be a dealbreaker, I wouldn’t consider them a turn on. What about you?

Trend Alert: Advanced Etching

CasaSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

Dating back to the 1500s, etching, using acid or mordant to cut into a material, is certainly a thing of the past. There's actually an old cliché that I love: in an effort to entice a woman home with him, a man will say, "Want to come up and see my etchings?" as an offer to come look at something artistic. But ladies, these days etchings are something worth taking a look at. Designers have abandoned girlish mirror and glass etchings, using new materials like acrylic and plastic, using laser to etch, or even adding color like a tattoo. And these advanced etchings aren't simply decorative. Many, like the Ghost Acrylic Candelabra ($65), make a trompe-l'œil statement. See more modern etchings.

Lindsay Says I Love You With a Tattoo

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

While Lindsay Lohan went for a classically stunning red carpet look at the MTV Video Music Awards this weekend, it's her wild child side and willingness to experiment with beauty looks that I always find more interesting.

Even though Lindsay has remained coy about the exact nature of her relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson, she has revealed that Sam's indie girl tattoos inspired her to get a matching one done. The matching tattoos could well be a rock n roll beauty symbol of the girls' love, but either way it's somewhat surprising that Lindsay and Sam chose to go for quite common shapes.

"Samantha has a bunch of stars, so I got that," Lindsay tells US Marie Claire in their October issue. Then, pointing to a little heart, she says, "She (Samantha) got this. I'm really happy, she's a great person. And she's a great influence on people around her."

While most of you are torn about whether tattoos look tacky or not, as a beauty trend they're becoming almost ubiquitous as stars like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie and Fearne Cotton all go under the needle. I'm not sure how I feel about matching tattoos for anyone though, but if any girl could pull it off, I'm sure Lindsay will do it with style.
