Rob Lowe Shoulder Tattoo
Rob Lowe is an American actor, known for his role in movies including Tommy Boy, Wayne's World and The Outsiders.Rob Lowe has a single visible tattoo, which is rumored to have started as a heart, and then later with additional artwork.
ON THE WHITE DUNES
Last weekend Jackie, Lola and I headed up north to the plains of Pohjanmaa for a nightclub gig. The morning after, before taking the train home, we took a walk on the snow covered sand dunes. It was very cold, all-white creating a dramatic scenery. The photos turned out almost like stills of a film .(Well especially after I added the borders, heh)
Introducing...Dirtbird!
Occasionally in my wanderings, I will meet not just tattooed people, but tattoo practitioners, and often those visiting from outside of New York City.
So it was no surprise, when I approached a gentleman across the street from where I work, at 31st and 7th, to learn that I was talking to an artist.
Working out of Punkteur Tattoos & Piercing in Joplin, Missouri, Derek "Dirtbird" Wieberg estimates he has 130-150 hours of work inked on his personal canvas.
With so much to choose from, he offered up this piece, on the right side of his neck:
It seemed fitting, considering his name.
Dirtbird praised the artist, Rick Pierceall at Karma Tattoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has done all of his throat work.
Considering it is Two-for-Tattoosday, I'll share this photo as well:
That's not Dirtbird, but it's his handiwork! The owner of this tattoo is Shawn, who had the good fortune to be inked by Dirtbird. They collaborated on the design together.
Thanks to Dirt Bird and Shawn for sharing their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
Tune in tomorrow to see a tattoo from Katie, aka Mrs. Dirtbird!

New header
Ich mache es kurz und knapp und zeige euch meinen neuen Header. Wie gefällt er euch?
(Ich weiß ich muss noch ein wenig an der Ähnlichkeit des Gesicht feilen - aber ansonsten bin ich ganz zufrieden.)
Ride the Cyclone!
In college we had a game room at the Student Union.
I claimed to be a master at Arkanoid, but would occasionally play pinball. Earthshaker was fun, but there was another, carnival-themed game that would often beckon, "Ride the Cyclone!" It was, naturally, called The Cyclone.
Fast forward ten years and I would be residing in Brooklyn, home to Coney Island and the original Cyclone.
Despite having been in close proximity a number of times, I've never gone for a ride.
I was reminded of this back in September when I met Matt at the top of the escalator at the Penn Plaza Borders store.
He shared this amazing tattoo:
This is, of course, the Cyclone.
Matt is working on a Coney Island/"Carnie" theme, having lived in Brooklyn most of his adult life. Thus, the Astroland tower behind the Cyclone in the tattoo. Next up: the Wonder Wheel and the Parachute Jump, other Coney Island attractions.
He sent along a photo of the tattoo when it was initially finished:
Matt credits this tattoo to Ping at Village Rock Tattoo in Manhattan.
Thanks to Matt for sharing this great tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

(I'M RIDING A TRAIN TROUGH SNOWY LANDSCAPES RIGHT NOW)
I almost had this song destroyed for me once. Although I have turned it into a laugh instead.
Some years ago I was, how should I put it, occasionally seeing (if even that) the Big Artist for a while.
Once he called and said he'd come over and asked me if I had a printer at home. I wasn't thrilled, but fine, come on then. When he came he had a guitar with him (I wondered why) and asked to use my internet and print something. And then. He had printed out the chords and lyrics to Lonesome Town and started singing it, slowly, playing on his guitar, not good, not that bad but bad enough for it to be embarrassing; trying to get the chords right, out of rhythm, correcting himself. I was concentrating on my cigarette and then trying to focus on something outside my window, wondering what the hell was going on and how to get rid of him. I'm telling you, it was no romantic serenading, just awkward. He sang that poor song twice. Then I think I told him I had to be somewhere else.

50 DEGREES C AGO
We're up in the north of Finland about to perform at a nightclub. It's close to minus twenty degrees (Celsius) outside. Made me think of a gig and road trip we did last July to the middle of the country. It was hot, sunny, humid; more than +30.
That's a fifty degree difference between four months.
But, that's the way it is up here.
Off we go.
Coffee break.
The yellow fields of summer.
Lots of props.
The "retro-glamourous" backstage.
My trustworthy reds are dying.
Lola before.
Coffee.
The warmth makes me sleepy.
Lola afterwards.
Maria Lund & Sweet Jeena.

Fashion Jewelry For Fadz
Costume jewelry is also called “Fashion Jewelry” as it is used mainly for the purpose of fashions. Everything that glitters is not made of gold. Costume jewelry is that which is made of less valuable materials like plastic, base metals, synthetic stones and glass. Basically, in jewelry expensive materials like gems, metals are used but in costume jewelry expensive materials are replaced by the inexpensive materials.
It is an asset for those who use jewelry for fashion purposes. It is so called “costume jewelry” because it is used frequently for stage costume.
Gold over silver and silver over brass are the best combinations. Crystals are also having their own importance in the fashion jewelry. Ivory is mostly used in the preparation of jewelry for men. Acrylic and plastic are involved in the manufacturing of low value jewelry. Most of the products of costume jewelry are handcrafted.
Bracelets, Rings, chains, earrings, necklaces and pendants are most renowned items of costume jewelry. Gems like amber, aquamarine, and garnet, opal, freshwater pearl and amethyst are used in crafting of costume jewelry.
However, care should be taken of the costume jewelry to preserve the shiny appearance of it. You must wipe out the costume jewelry with a soft cloth since its shininess will be lost due to the sweat produced by the body. They must be preserved in smooth pouches and velvet boxes so that they may not become dull and its originality remains same. Dipping this jewelry in some strong solutions may disturb the glowing outlook of the jewelry. It may alter the color of stones on it and sprays, perfumes must be used before the wearing of this costume jewelry. They need some periodical maintenance like they should be rewashed in gold or silver. Dull gems in the costume jewelry are replaced by brighter and new gems to get brighter look.
