High Voltage Tattoo is a graphic perspective on today’s global tattoo culture by Kat Von D, star of The Learning Channel’s LA Ink and one of the most talented and popular artists working today. Designed in a style that is reminiscent of a handmade Gothic journal with its red padded cover, ornate typography, and parchmentlike pages, it throws the door wide open to tattooing culture in the way only an insider like Kat can. High Voltage Tattoo traces Kat’s career as an artist, from early childhood influences to recent work, along with examples of what inspires her, information about the show and her shop, her sketches, and personal tattoos. The book goes deep into tattoo process and culture: readers can see up close the pigments, the tools, and the making of complex, even collaborative, tattoos.

Question by Cheese: What is a good site to look at tattoo designs? (or maybe design my own?)?
So my boyfriend wants to get a tattoo and wants my help with it. He wants a phoenix either beneath one of his shoulders (in the corners of his back) or in the top center of his back. He doesn’t want it to be too big and would like it to have red flames (not just black)… and I don’t want it too be too much… we found a couple of designs we kind of like but none of them were “the one.” Any advice?

Best answer:

Answer by Kelly M
Def design your own. even if you end up hating the thing u got then you will like it more because you designed it.

Take the couple of ones you kind of like, put them together and design your own. I designed my own, and I am glad I did because it has everything I want in it.

staple remover


Tattoo Image by Divine Harvester
Staple Remover Design

A standard staple remover is constructed of just five distinct components: • two plastic grips • torsion spring • two sets of metal swinging wedges (a.k.a the blades) • metal pin axle • two smaller pins

The design is focused on functionality and robustness with no unnecessary decoration (unless one includes the ergonomics of the handle) and minimised number of parts to lower costs and production time. The device works with a pincer action to unfold and pull out a staple in one motion.

[edit] Staple Remover Components

[edit] Blades

The two pivoting blades interlock each other. They are made of Chrome Plated Steel, which is harder than the thin ductile wire of the staple and strong enough to withstand the force required to remove it. The Chrome plating provides not just a chic finish but also a mild rust-resistance suitable for use in an office environment away from any liquids let alone corrosive ones. Though the blade is made from what was originally sheet metal; the right angles and clean edges mean that a punch and die method of production would not be suitable. Therefore the piece of sheet metal is cut using the process of blanking in a mechanical press then bent in a press brake. This is a highly automated method which allows for a production rate of up to 1500 units per minute.

[edit] Torsion Springs

The torsion spring in this staple remover is a standardised component that appears in many other products such as clothes pegs. It has two loops and is made of Chrome-plated Steel. They are mass produced by a spring winding machine which cold winds wire around an arbour before heat treating to make it harder. The spring is then chrome plated. The machinery to do this is large, expensive, but has a high production rate. That is why the springs are usually bought off-the-shelf from a tier 1 supplier rather than produced in house. The material, steel is an excellent choice for this use, as there is a point of minimum stress where continued use (opening and closing the staple remover) will not cause failure through fatigue.

[edit] Plastic Grips

The plastic grips are in fact unnecessary and the device could still be operated without them. They provide enhanced ergonomics so the user does not have to press their fingers against sheet metal. Injection moulding of thermoplastics are normally used through the use of an automated injection moulding machine, which shoots liquid plastic into a mould where it is left to set. Such processing is commonplace, not very labour intensive, cheap and capable of producing high quantities. Plastic is used as it is the easiest, but also the cheapest and most readily available material that can be formed into such fluid shapes.

[edit] Pin Axle

The pin axle provides a cylindrical bar from which the blades can rotate. It is made of Stainless Steel, which will not rust in areas that have been worn by contact with other metals. The process to create such a pin axle is quite intensive and hence it is bought off-the-shelf from a supplier. They are made by a specialised machine which cuts thick wire into a suitable length and then die punches the head of the pin, the supplier normally runs specialised machinery that is capable of producing large amounts of products at a high rate for a low cost.

click that thats the tatt i really wanna know??? if someone could tell me

Best answer:

Answer by Crescent
I’m not clicking that link because it just screams “get a virus!” to me.

People get the Aries symbol probably because it’s their star sign, or because the Greek god of war was named Aries. And if I recall, his colors were red and black.

Question by tbqs02: Would this be a good gift to get my wife in honor of her 5th tattoo? Men and women’s opinion welcomed.?
When I met my wife I didn’t like tattoos and she had 2 of them. Over a few years I realized that tattoos are fine and I encouraged her to get a 3rd and 4th one, both of which were gifts from me. After her 4th one she got a professional photo taken of her in a short skirt, standing with one leg on the ground and the other on a stool displaying her oriental tattoo which is on her lower leg. She put it next to my night table and wrote a nice note on it thanking me for her new tattoos. After her 5th one, in about 2 weeks I was thinking of getting her a plaque saying “In honor of ________ and the 5 tattoos that enhance her natural beauty. I want the plaque ready so I can present it to her as soon as the tattoo artist is done. How does that sound to you?

Best answer:

Answer by Joel S
That sounds like a fine idea, however you know if your wife will like it or not… Are you going to get a tattoo, or have you already? Maybe you getting one to signify her (don’t get her name) would be a nice idea.

The plaque sounds great… however, I would say “In honor of _____ and the 5 tattoos that illuminate her inner beauty.”

Just my opinion, for what it’s worth. =)

Answer by Kelli Cox
be her total slave for the night or weekend. do whatever she tells you. and pleasure her with no regards for your own pleasure

Answer by julieisbest
That seems sort of weird to be honest. Are you paying for this tattoo, as well? If so, the tattoo itself is the gift.

Besides, what if she gets more? If she ends up with ten tattoos it will be silly for her to have a plaque commemorating her fifth tattoo. What is so special about it being her fifth?

edited to add: I figured out why I think this is wierd. Plaques are usually to commemerate an event or a memory or something nebulous like that. A tattoo will be with her for the rest of her life. She doesn’t need a plaque to stand in reminder of this event because she will have a reminder forever, already – the tattoo itself!

Answer by I<3 The Heartbreaker
I wish I got a freakin plaque for all my tattoos. U rock, dude!

Answer by crazy_jkr
Sounds like a great plan to me and you should get a tat man.
