Lions are often used in animal tattoo art to describe power, physicality, or leadership due to the big cat’s position as the King of the Jungle. From the proud astrological sign of Leo to Aslan, the fabled ruler of Narnia, the lion is the king of both man and fellow beast, a symbol of courage and regal bearing. Famous across world history and the breadth of tattoo culture, the following article defines the different kinds of lion body art and the range of symbolic or application meaning attached to big cat tattoo art....

We’ve all seen it: tattoos that look smudged or blurry; lines that bleed into each other and can leave a tattoo looking unprofessional at best, and completely ruined at worst. This tattoo complication is known as “blowout” and it is no one’s friend. Read on to learn more about tattoo blowout, how it looks on skin and why it occurs. Explore options available to replace, repair, or remove the issue of tattoo blowout....

When it comes to horror, there are few features that can match the ethereal nature and gruesome violence of Evil Dead, which is why it is such a common subject for tattoos. Evil Dead helped mold the horror genre into what it is today, and that sort of prevalence demands the respect of those who enjoy frightful imagery. It’s hard to say that men are more drawn to horror films that women, but that is probably true for the gory scenes like those featured in Evil Dead....

When it comes to men’s underwear, there is an array of styles to choose from, depending on what kind of fit you’re going for, how much support you need or want, what you plan on wearing them under, the material of your undergarments, the color and/or pattern, or how you want to look when you have no pants on – whether you’re just lounging around the house alone or strutting your stuff for your latest Bumble date....

The 728-foot Somnio superyacht’s $11 million luxury condos are making waves. Being labeled the world’s first yacht liner, the large and in-charge 728-foot floating hybrid concept brings together the best of both worlds: the fine cruise ship and the sport superyacht. The public first took witness of it a few months ago. At the time, however, no interior photos had been made available. Curious fans were left in the dark until this last week when the first official renders were shared, giving the world its glance at the living quarters....

While Santa Monica, California is best known for its sandy beaches and stellar surf, this beloved coastal town is also famous for having some of the best nightlife in Los Angeles. Sure, Hollywood and DTLA are known for their trendy clubs and exclusive parties, but there is a beachy and more laidback charm that the westside of LA possesses. Whether you’re looking for a funky dive bar that is just a few feet away from the sand or a bougie rooftop bar that serves up stiff drinks and ocean views, Santa Monica is one of the best places to explore no matter what time of the year it is....

The mustache is often the first facial hair a young man grows, so its appearance marks the transition from boy into man. As the upper lip is sensitive and may be prone to ingrown hairs, many men decide to grow it in. Others just like the look of a health ‘stache. Whether your mustache is a permanent fixture, like that of actor Tom Selleck, or more temporary, your facial hair will benefit from careful grooming and styling....

The following article discusses common prison, gang, and hate tattoos. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them. This story is not an endorsement for these types of tattoos, but an article that can be used for identification purposes and for greater understanding of what these tattoos are used for within prison and gang systems, and to the wider world. I found this assignment both repugnant and fascinating. In my opinion, these tattoos are a lingering stain on the world of tattoo that stop our industry from gaining the full acceptability it deserves as an art form and choice of expression....

While only briefly glimpsed in one’s day to day life, the back is a dramatic landscape in which to show off only the most epic tattoo art. From shoulder to shoulder and down the spine, there is truly no greater canvas. For the geometric design that requires a greater space, the back is where tattoo masterpieces are brought to life. Back inked diamonds created from a series of lines that span the shoulder blades and run the length of the spine, ending in a finale pattern of heavily shaded blocks at the base of the neck, are just one example that there is no limit to the creations waiting within the tattoo artist’s needle....

Arguably some of the greatest cars to ever exist have been American-made despite what some car enthusiasts believe. Over the decades, American manufacturers and assembly warehouses have created powerful muscle cars, reliable family cars, and extraordinary sports cars. At one time in American vehicle history, Detroit was the undisputed center for the auto industry, giving meaning to the profound phrase “made in America.” The auto industry currently has a much more comprehensive manufacturing and distribution network that has since split from Detroit, but an important fact should be acknowledged....

If you’re reading this you’re probably suffering from dry lips right about now, but the truth is, you should be using lip balm regularly – prevention is better than a cure, after all. The skin on our lips is just as valuable as the skin on our face, even if it doesn’t have as big of a surface area. In fact, our lips maybe even more valuable considering all the things we can do with them....

Shadows and realistic colors will bring your butterfly to life and give it a character of its own, capturing the beauty of the butterflies with grace and style.

There’s something about the soft lights of a Tokyo backdrop that speaks to calm, serenity, and peace for the folks who revel in its ambiance. The “Twilight Tokyo” G-Shock GMW-B50000PB pays homage to the Japanese landscape as well as to lo-fi trends and vaporwave aesthetics.

So, you’ve found yourself crushing over someone and wondering if they ever even notice you. You’re thinking “how do I get my crush to like me back if she doesn’t even know my name?” While you can’t make her like you back (sigh), there are things you can do to put yourself in the best possible position to notice you. The dating game is constantly changing and evolving, but there are a few simple rules that remain the same – and that’s what women look for in a man....

Micro Tattoos are an increasingly popular way to display quality body art, whether etched in complex single needle designs or more simple fashion.

Small pieces are often a preference for those on a budget or those who want to get body art that they can conceal more easily....

The Mayan calendar is one of the most intricate and complex inventions of humankind, which makes it an equally challenging–but infinitely rewarding–inspiration for a tattoo design. The Mayan calendar is separated into three cycles: the Tzolkin, with a duration of 260 days, the Haab, with 360 days plus five days “out of time,” and the Long Count, which is indicated by the number of days since the beginning of the Maya....

A serpent wrapped around a dagger once signified the presence of Mercury, god of travel and communication, as well as the protector of thieves and tricksters. The snake-and-dagger symbol carries multiple meanings, and its tattoo likeness will no doubt elicit equal parts fear and awe from those who glimpse upon it. Just as the snake is the earthly embodiment of the eternal and mystical masculine, the dagger represents the dangers that may lie ahead, and the courage needed to overcome the many faces of adversity....

Right next to Han Solo, there never was a man like Indiana Jones.

From whip to Fedora, the figure of Indiana Jones is a wistful reminder to all men that true life awaits where others fear to tread. Whether you’re a lifelong devotee of the franchise or fellow wanderlust sufferer, an Indiana Jones tattoo is the perfect compass and companion....
