Adele’s Body Art

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Stars-n-Skulls

If Adele is one thing, it’s talented. If Adele is two things; one is definitely talented, and the other isn’t “good at picking creative tattoos”. In a recent appearance at the 2013 Grammy Awards, the “Set Fire To The Rain” singer and former dominator of the biggest butt kissing contest in the music industry debuted her new ink and didn’t really impress anyone. To be clear, the sentiment behind it was nothing but sweet, it’s just the execution that we find to be lacking.

The new ink is a simple “A” written in script on the side of her head, right behind her right ear. It’s very small and doesn’t draw a lot of attention, which is fine, but it’s also…just…so…lazy. We’re almost one hundred percent sure that the piece was done in honor of her son Angelo, which we think is great. You’re never going to go wrong when you get ink in honor of one of your kids; significant others can go leave and friends can bail, but your children should be forever, so it’s a pretty safe bet to pay tribute to them on your body. She’s shown public love for him before in the form of flashy jewelry and you know, by loving him; so it should come as no surprise that she’s decided to put his initial on her body.

What does come as a surprise is that someone with the talent and creativity of Adele didn’t get something more artistic than a simple letter. We would’ve expected an angel, or maybe some other type of symbol that represents her son’s name and/or role in her life. However, it kind of makes sense for someone as elegant as her to get something really simple, so we’re not totally shocked by her choice.

We don’t really see her having much more done in the way of tattoos in her future, but maybe she’ll wind up with something on her wrist like a small tribute to her husband or something. The wrist is a popular spot for classy ladies to get ink done. Also, if she ends up with another kid, she might have to get some more ink done to keep things even in her household. Time will tell whether Adele decides to have more art put on her body, but we hope that if she does she chooses something more complex than a simple letter.

Gomez And Hall Get New Ink…Not At The Same Time Though

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Hey folks, it’s time to take a little look at the ink that’s currently gracing some of your favorite stars, as we present (* Fancy bellowing announcer voice *) Wednesday’s Tattoo Round Up! We know, it’d be better if it were Tuesday for alliteration purposes…but it’s not…so yeah, just keep reading.

First up, we have Justin Bieber’s number one lady, Selena Gomez. The Wizards of Waverly Place star and “Love You Like A Love Song” singer previously only had one tiny tattoo, but she decided to add to her body art collection during a recent trip to New York. Gomez’s first ink was a little heart on her wrist; she got it at the Under The Gun shop in Los Angeles, and it’s so small that it’s hard to find a picture of it where it doesn’t look like a speck of dirt. Her new ink is a bit larger, but still isn’t huge; it also appears to have a much deeper meaning. Gomez got the Roman numerals “LXXVI” on the back of her neck, which translate into “73″. The new ink was done by famed New York City tattoo-man Bang Bang at his shop, and according to the artist, it has a very special meaning to Gomez. In a recent interview about the Spring Breakers star’s visit to his show, he stated “The tattoo was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her.”. We don’t know the exact meaning of the ink; is it someone’s age when they passed away? Someone’s birth year? We have no idea, but we always respect a tribute piece; we also respect that her new tat can actually be seen without the aid of a microscope and/or a jeweler’s loop. He boyfriend Justin Bieber, who recently threw up on stage during a performance (that’s not really relevant, we just wanted to remind you of his embarrassment), has a bunch of ink of his own, so we have to wonder if he’s rubbing off on her.

Selena Gomez wasn’t the only star to go under the gun recently, as everyone’s favorite serial killer, Michael C. Hall also hit up the local tattoo parlor just days ago. Cameras caught the Dexter star sitting on a table at True Tattoo in Los Angeles having his foot worked on by one of their artists. When asked what he was having done, Hall said “I’m just doctoring up my alien markings.”, which is celebrity for “None of your business”. From the looks of it, it’s just an artistic design, although it does look like something cavemen would have drawn on cave walls after an extraterrestrial encounter.

So a young pop starlet and a guy who plays a murdering hero both got inked within days of each other; is this part of some kind of conspiracy? Are the stars aligning via body art to take over the world?! No. People just get inked sometimes, stop being crazy folks.

Bieber’s New Ink

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Ugh, here we go again. We’ve talked before about how upset we are that “Boyfriend” singer Justin Bieber keeps getting tattoos. Well, he must’ve heard us, because as if only to spite us, he’s gotten more, and the newest one is absolutely infuriating. As if to declare himself the new King of Pop, Bieber has gotten a crown inked on his chest. We know about said tattoo because he insisted on posting shirtless pictures of himself to show it off. So here’s the issue: he isn’t the king of anything yet, he’s never even won a Grammy! Weird Al has Grammys! Okay, bad example; Weird Al is awesome and deserves all the Grammys, but the point remains: the kid hasn’t earned that ink yet.

He also really needs to stop posting pictures of himself shirtless; the kid doesn’t appear to know what the word “push-up” means, so he shouldn’t be showing the world his underdeveloped psysique like it’s his job. He’s built like Shaggy from Scooby Doo and an Ostriche had a baby, so he needs to keep a shirt on. We also can’t help but think that he thinks that tattoos make him a “Bad Boy”, well they don’t Justin, we all know you’re a wimpy little kid. Tattoos are meant to represent who you are, not who you’re pretending to be. We really can’t think of a nice thing to say about his new ink except for “Yeah, that’s a crown alright”, so we’re going to stop talking now. You’ve ruined our day again Bieber, and we’re sure this won’t be the last time.

David Arquette’s New Wonder Woman Tattoo

Posted on July 2, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

That is one big rib tattoo! Good job David Arquette; way to go all-in on that bad boy! The Scream 4 star recently made an appearance on Bethenny Frankel’s talk show and showed off his newest and largest piece of ink. The self-proclaimed ‘big kid’ readily revealed his big Wonder Woman comic book panel, which features the female super-heroin making a declaration that says, ”It takes real character to admit one’s failures – and not a little wisdom to take your profits from defeat, but remember, this man’s world of yours will never be without pain and suffering until it learns love, and respect for human rights. Keep your hands extended to all in friendliness but never holding the gun of persecution and intolerance!”. It’s a really nicely done piece, and the inspirational message in it, while a bit heavy-handed, is really nice too. We’re pretty impressed with this ink overall, although we’re thinking that if he went for such a big comic-related piece, he maybe should’ve gotten some color.

Harry Styles – Boy Band “Star” Gets Inked

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Here’s the deal folks; the problem with tattoos becoming more and more accepted in society is that while we’re excited that we’re no longer looked at like scumbag for having ink, everyone and their mother are getting them. This includes all your favorite boy-banders and teen idols like (*pukes a little in mouth*) Justin Bieber and One Direction’s Harry Styles. The only One Direction song we know is “What Makes You Beautiful”, and that’s the most unfortunately awesome song ever, so we’re strangely okay with young Harry getting a tattoo. Actually, he has two…well he’s had two sittings at least. The first time he jumped in the chair he got himself a hollow star on his arm that people think represents spirit, truth, and hope. His next sitting yielded some writing underneath that is aparently the lyrics to a Temper Trap song called “Sweet Disposition”. We actually hope that Harry Styles gets more ink so that we have more of an excuse to like that song, but until then, we will only sing along in shame.

Because We Have To Tell You: Justin Bieber Gets A New Tattoo

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

We need to stop this kid from getting any more tattoos, because if we have to write one more article about Justin Bieber getting ink, we’re going to burn the whole office down with us in it. The “Boyfriend” and “Baby” singer has a few tattoos already and recently teased that he’d be getting matching ink with his girlfriend Selena Gomez. Now come word that he’s gotten a new tattoo that has nothing to do with his Disney love-affair. On a recent appearance on The Late Show, ole’ Justin Beaver showed off the “Believe” tattoo on his forearm, which he got in honor of the title of his newest album. This logic really makes us wish that he named his new album “Your Mom Says Hi” or “Baby Puncher”, because either one would be way more fun to see on the arm of a teen-pop idol. The current piece looks more like something a drunk baseball fan gets after his team wins a playoff game. Look, we don’t like Justin Bieber, but we also really don’t care that much, so it would just be easier on us all if her stopped getting stupid looking tattoos.

Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez To Get Matching Tattoos

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Wow, kids make really bad decisions these days. Following the current trend of celebrity couples getting matching tattoos (Kim and Kanye have been mulling it over recently), Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are reportedly getting dual ink. The “Boyfriend” singer and the Disney Channel star have been an item for quite some time, so despite the fact that they’re both still teenagers, they’re going to get the matching work to add to their already growing collections. Bieber has a couple of tattoos already (including a matching one with his dad), and Gomez kind of has a little spec of ink on her body, so it’s not like it’s their first body art. However, that doesn’t make it a good idea, as the two have a fairly slim chance of staying together in the long run. Sources say that the tattoos will be very small and therefore easily removed, and that they will be done by artist-to-the-stars Bang Bang.

Bad Idea Of The Day: Kat Von D’s Jesse James Tattoo

Posted on June 15, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Okay, so Kat Von D of Miami Ink and LA Ink fame has a ton of tattoos, we know that and we can discuss that some other time; today we’re here to talk about something way more important than that. Today folks, we’re here to show you the absolutely horrible tattoo that the reality star got while she was dating Jesse James (the American Chopper star who married Sandra Bullock then cheated on her because he was a Nazi…something like that, don’t quote us on the “star” part); it’s of James when he was a little boy, and it’s terrifying. The tattoo, which she hasn’t removed since they broke up, looks like someone didn’t know whether to be Chuck from Child’s Play or a Children of the Corn on Halloween and so they went as both. We’re not sure of this is an insult to Jesse James or the artist who did it, but either way, that thing is ugly and is further proof that you should never get anything too personal about someone else inked on your body.

Heidi Klum’s Tattoo Is Half Invalid Now

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Stars-n-Skulls

Whoops, looks like Heidi Klum has made the most classic of tattoo mistakes; she went and got her significant others name inked on her…and then they split up. The Project Runway (not “Project Runaway”, that’s a far more depressing show) host was married to “Kiss From A Rose” singer Seal for years and seemed to have the best marriage ever. Their marraige was so good that she decided to get his name inked on her forearm. The tattoo also included the initials of their kids, which makes the ink only half a waste now that the two of them aren’t together anymore. As of this writing, the two haven’t officially divorced, so theirs still a chance that they’ll reconcile and make the tattoo not really stupid. On the bright side, if they don’t get back together, Heidi can probably use the change between her couch cushions to pay for the removal procedure.
