HA! well it doesn't really matter to me if it becomes popular or not. it's gotta get done at some point if i want full sleeves, so why not now right?

Saw two newly-tattooed people over the weekend with variations of the honeycomb pattern, individual of one another. Cause, you know.. bees.

Hahaa they were both black and gray and more two dimensional. Don't know what that's about.

[CaptCanada]

All I saying is I want more of them... maybe like a full sleeve, cinnamon roll, cup cake, french bread, mexican pan, dinner roll... ohh well maybe 2012.

hot crossed buns?

hot crossed buns?

On the palms, and nuckle tattoo saying yeasters to tie everything together. God that'd be horrible.

giant deer heads=owls

or i should say deer heads on anyone who has never been hunting before.

it used to be that doing them meant the person you were tattooing was probably wearing camo, not tight jeans.

One of the first tattoos I got is of a bunch of bees flying out of a hive with honeycomb pattern in the background. Bees are great.

1) tiny lettering upside down on the wrist

2) paragraphs of tiny lettering on the ribs and inner bicep

3) even smaller tiny lettering behind the ear.

i second this. i've been seeing a lot of tiny lettering in general popping up.

[Cornishtiger]

You are all miles out.

This years must have will be dot work.

Mark my words I will be proven right in the end LOL

Anyone for a small bet?

[Lochlan]

At the middle point of the year.....what are the most popular tattoos you are seeing seeing and tattooing?

I've been seeing a lot of lady heads with animal heads as hats over and over again. Regardless of it being popular I've seen more good than bad tattoo designs and pictures of this so happy to see quality tattoos that catch my eye.

I know that in 2012 it will be 2012 tattoos. I have been actually thinking that it would be cool to get I survived 2012 NOW, just to fuck with all the "doomsday" bastards. Because I base my prediction on logic, so its a shure bet."

edit. Then again... There really isn't going to be anything to survive from. So maybe the idea needs little work.

Maybe like a check list type thing with all the predicted doomsdays going on as far as they go. Maybe even make some dates up, then all of them crossed before hand and Carl Sagan slapping a face with a text such as "Carl Sagan - slapping bitches back to reality 1934 – 1996"

I got a 2012 tattoo in 2010. Fuck it.

Hail to Jake!

[briankelly]

anchors. they are the new stars. if you want a tattoo but can't think of anything to get, go for a little anchor. everyone else is doing it.

[Valerie Vargas]

I'm hoping 2011 is the year this image finally goes away.

who drew that in the first place? i've always been curious. i always seem to make excuses not to do day of the dead make up on gypsy girl heads....

[Kev]

As paintings, Sylvia Ji was doing them in '08 Paintings 2008 and Gustavo Rimada gave it more of a rockabilly/cholo spin Portfolio

[Petri Aspvik]

Rob Benavides submitted it to the TAM issue 4 and it is dated 04. Dont know if he was first...

[Kev]

Bummer he's not in San Antone anymore-very cool work

[blessedmatter]

I agree with girlhead/animal caps.

...and i'll throw in more empty occult tats.

I know that skulls have always been popular, and will always be popular, but I think we will be seeing a flood of them in the next year by people who frequent dodgy high-street scratchers. Mainstream fashion has been using skulls so much that crappy markets now have them on their knock-off clothing for kids. Walking through the posh and not-so-posh areas of London last week I noticed skulls everywhere on people's clothes. I guess the sort of people who get stars and cheryl cole wrist tattoos will be getting skull tattoos in response to shite clothing design.
