Tattooings of scapula are sexy back tattooings for women because it accentuates the female nape of the neck of the neck and the slope of the shoulder. If you tattoo images or words, it will accentuate a distinctly female sector. Angelina Jolie has a rather famous tattooing on her left scapula, with words functioning vertically. It is a Buddhist incantation of Faded written in Khmer manuscript (Kampuchean). Obtaining tattooings in other languages, the particularly Arab and Asian languages, is very popular in this moment.

Back tattooings of tribal make a return very impressing lately, with tribal designs for other parts of the body. These designs had one period of back of popularity in the middle of last century, but took a little a bench since then postpones. Since the last decade of the previous century, tribal tattooings of all the types were back of mode still.

I met Michael in Penn Station and he shared this incredible tattoo:


That is a depiction of St. Michael, with whom our contributor shares a name.

Michael had this tattoo added to his right bicep and shoulder after surviving a terrible car accident. One of his lungs collapsed and he was touch-and-go for six days.

Afterward, he wanted to pay homage to Saint Michael and went to Lark Tattoo in Westbury, New York. Brian, the artist, spent nine hours on this amazingly detailed piece.


Work from Lark has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Michael for sharing this incredible tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! We are seeking high quality photographs of your literary tattoos for an upcoming book. Send us your ink! Submissions are open to all kinds of literary tattoo work: quotations from your favorite writer, opening lines of novels, lines of verse, literary portraits or illustrations. From Shakespeare to Bukowski to The Little Prince in a Baobab tree, if it's a literary tattoo and its on your body, we want to see it.

All images must include the name (or pseudonym) of the tattoo bearer, city and state or country, and a transcription of the text itself, along with its source. For portraits or illustrations, please include the name of the author or book on which it's based. We'd also like to read a few words about the tattoo's meaning to you -- why you chose it, when you first read that poem or book, or how its meaning has evolved over time. How much (or how little) you choose to say about your tattoo is up to you, but a paragraph or two should do the trick.

Please send clear digital images of the highest print quality possible to tattoolit@gmail.com. Pixel resolutions should be at least 1500 x 1200, or a minimum 300 dpi at 5 inches wide. Text should be included in the body of the email, not as an attached document.
