Ok, so it all started when one of our friends kindly pointed out that she hadn't seen any 1950's/classic old school style tattoos in Secondlife that were of a high enough quality for her to purchase. She was looking for something similar to a Sailor Jerry styling which we thought was perfect considering he is considered to be the father of tattooing in the real world. It was only right some of these designs have been transposed to Secondlife which we what we did.
Starting small and classic:
This 1950's girls head and crossbones is the classic design that many a sailor would get when they docked and had their feet on dry land. This upper armed tribute is repeated on both arms and is suitable for both men and women.
After dabbling a little with the style, I decided that I wanted to add a slightly more oriental feel to the collection and added in these geisha girls.
Our Hello Sailor Tattoo gave us the added hint of sexiness but meant that the figure in the tattoo still had all their clothes on. The tattoo is so detailed that you can even see the stocking seem down the back of both of her legs. The bright colours truly represent the classic nature of the design.
Summertime has finally arrived with this piece of body art! Made into a full back piece tattoo, this summer styled geisha has the essence of summer all around her. The falling cherry blossoms represent the subtle, sweet nature. Cherry blossoms are beautiful and really enhance this tattoo.
The fan dance has been a popular dance among geisha and the Japanese culture for many years. Again this tattoo also features the cherry blossom but the main reason I like this tattoo is because of the water at the moment. Water represents a lot of strength, it can put out fires and move earth. This tattoo embodies the true inner strength and beauty that all women have inside of them.
The final tattoo that we want to showcase in this collection for now is the dancing butterfly tattoo. This beautiful geisha is showing her bare skinned legs and is slightly more busty than she would normally be. The Butterflies were added to show a sense of motion on the tattoo. When the tattoo'd person is moving, the butterflies almost look like they are moving as well.
At the moment we are working on new additions to be added to this collection, which include a classic anchor tattoo, traditional stars and swallow bird tattoos. If there is anything you fancy that you think we can help with then all you have to do is ask! It's what we live for!
Thanks for reading!
