Inked

It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap) lies on her side and reveals a short inscription. "'Love risks everything and asks for nothing,'" Winter captioned the grainy image. Ariel Winter and Levi Meaden are rarely apart in public.

He takes care of all that handy stuff. He's great. I can bake a pie occasionally. "I'm horrible at all that [domestic] stuff. I'm the worst wifely person." Did she say, "wifely?" Wait, are wedding plans in the making and did Ariel…

This type of tattoos is popular among mob members and some of them have their own gang sign, hieroglyph, or a certain drawing which represents their devotion to the…

One does not simply go out and get a tattoo; tattoos are not something one just decides to do on a whim just because. They are well thought out in terms of design, color, location, size, and price, but are in no means an act of impulse. Tattoos are used as a form of expression when words are just simply not enough because when your words fail you, you still have art to turn to. It takes courage to deal with the long process of getting a tattoo inked onto your body. Having a needle, or several…

magazines. We saw images of these rock stars, models, sports heroes and movie stars much more frequently, and often times sporting tattoos. Tattoos somehow became symbols of the elite, the powerful, successful and the creative. “The cultural status of tattooing evolved steadily from an antisocial activity in the 1960s to a trendy fashion statement of the 1990s. Florida’s Palm Beach Post, in November of 1997, explained that the local tattoo industry that once catered almost exclusively to…
