Belly Tattoo
Tattoos
Over the past 50–100 years, it has become more acceptable for ordinary people to have tattoos and less so for the aristocracy - a reversal of the situation in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tattoos are used today as a sign of affiliation to certain street gangs and many are tattooed in prison as 'badge of honor' so that 'ex-cons' can recognize each other.
Tattooing remains as the archetypal means of 'body painting' and decoration, and certainly the most permanent, and while the traditional popular designs appear to have been devised from 'heavy metal' and 'motorbike gang culture, these are slowly being replaced by more modern tattoo designs based upon Celtic, Indian and Asian themes in addition to floral and other natural images.
Arm Tattoo
Tattoos
During the latter decades of the 20th century tattooing became a popular social practice worldwide. Many younger (and some older) people today either have aspirations to have a tattoo somewhere on their body, or already have one or more.
Some elect for one or several small tattoos such as butterflies, flowers, or other designs, while others may have significant portions of their skin covered. Popular along these lines are the 'half-sleeve', having the upper arm covered in tattoos, or 'full-sleeve', which includes the upper and lower arms. Whether or not to get a tattoo which is visible while wearing clothing is a matter of taste, but also involves consideration of future employment opportunities, and societal and family pressures.
It is assumed that the majority of tattoo recipients patronize tattoo parlors, which- according to varying state laws- have been registered and observe accepted standards of hygiene. However, some individuals do not, and some even use home tattooing equipment.

Tattooing spread among the upper classes all over Europe in the 19th century, but particularly in Britain where it was estimated in Harmsworth Magazine in 1898 that as many as one in five members of the gentry were tattooed.
There, it was not uncommon for members of the social elite to gather in the drawing rooms and libraries of the great country estate homes after dinner and partially disrobe in order to show off their tattoos. Aside from her consort Prince Albert, there are persistent rumours that Queen Victoria had a small tattoo in an undisclosed 'intimate' location; Denmark's King Frederick was filmed showing his tattoos taken as a young sailor. Winston Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, had a tattoo of a snake around her wrist, which she covered when the need arose with a specially crafted diamond bracelet. Carrying on the family tradition, Winston Churchill had an anchor tattooed on his forearm.

Sir Martin Frobisher (1535–1595) on May 31, 1577 set out on his second voyage from Harwich, England with 3 ships and about 120 men to find a north west passage to China and the promise of gold ore.
Frobisher took prisoner a native Inuit man and a woman with a child, upon his return to England the woman having tattoos on her chin and forehead was a great attraction at the court of Elizabeth I. All three died within a month.
In 1691 William Dampier brought to London a native of the western part of New Guinea (now part of Indonesia) who had a tattooed body and became known as the "Painted Prince".Between 1766 and 1779, Captain James Cook made three voyages to the South Pacific, the last trip ending with Cook's death in Hawaii in February 1779. When Cook and his men returned home to Europe from their voyages to Polynesia, they told tales of the 'tattooed savages' they had seen. The word "tattoo" itself comes from the Tahitian tatau, and was introduced into the English language by Cook's expedition.Cook's Science Officer and Expedition Botanist, Sir Joseph Banks, returned to England with a tattoo. Banks was a highly regarded member of the English aristocracy and had acquired his position with Cook by putting up what was at the time the princely sum of some ten thousand pounds in the expedition. In turn, Cook brought back with him a tattooed Raiatean man, Omai, whom he presented to King George and the English Court. Many of Cook's men, ordinary seamen and sailors, came back with tattoos, a tradition that would soon become associated with men of the sea in the public's mind and the press of the day. In the process sailors and seamen re-introduced the practice of tattooing in Europe and it spread rapidly to seaports around the globe.
It was in Tahiti aboard the Endeavour, in July 1769, that Cook first noted his observations about the indigenous body modification and is the first recorded use of the word tattoo. In the Ship's Log Cook recorded this entry: "Both sexes paint their Bodys, Tattow, as it is called in their Language. This is done by inlaying the Colour of Black under their skins, in such a manner as to be indelible."Cook went on to write, "This method of Tattowing I shall now describe...As this is a painful operation, especially the Tattowing of their Buttocks, it is performed but once in their Lifetimes."The British Royal Court must have been fascinated with Omai's tattoos, because the future King George V had himself inked with the 'Cross of Jerusalem' when he traveled to the Middle East in 1892. During a visit to Japan he also received a dragon on the forearm from the needles of Hori Chiyo, an acclaimed tattoo master. George's sons, the Dukes of Clarence and York were also tattooed in Japan while serving in the British Admiralty, solidifying what would become a family tradition.Taking their sartorial lead from the British Court, where Edward VII followed George V's lead in getting tattooed; King Frederick IX of Denmark, the King of Romania, Kaiser Wilhelm II, King Alexander of Yugoslavia and even Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, all sported tattoos, many of them elaborate and ornate renditions of the Royal Coat of Arms or the Royal Family Crest. King Alfonso XIII of modern Spain also had a tattoo.

Maxx Unveils Exclusive Range of Designer Wedding Dresses at high street prices
Exciting news ladies; Maxx – a great a place to find a designer bargain – has today, 15 January 2013, unveiled a new exclusive range of designer bridal gowns at high street prices.
This means that cost conscious brides no longer have to lie, cheat and (we hope not) steal to get the designer dress they’d love. Maxx buyers scoured the globe for designer dresses worth as much as £1,395 and made them available to you for £199.99.
Evelyn Morton from Maxx said: “Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and one where you want to look and feel stunning! Most brides have dreamt of their wedding dress since they were young girls but with the tough economic climate that dream dress is far out of reach. We’re really excited that we are helping savvy brides get their dream designer wedding dress without the hefty price tag.”
What to Wear Under your Wedding Dress
Your Wedding Day is a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience, so you want to look totally stunning in your wedding dress. It’s been estimated that on average we’ll spend over £700 on a wedding dress.
But have you given any thought to what you’ll wear underneath? Many brides follow the traditional misconception that a basque set up fits under all dresses, however, if your wearing a straight frock, this may give you lumps and bumps in all the wrong places.We spoke to Nick Gibbens, a lingerie expert and consultant for underwear firm Wickedelic Lingerie, which specialises in bridal lingerie, to get some underwear tips for your big day.Tip one: Match your Lingerie to your Wedding Dress
Wedding dresses come in lots of different shapes and sizes, from traditional to contemporary and this can affect the type of bridal lingerie you choose. Make sure you’re wearing the right size and style of bra. Also, if your wedding dress is sheer, then make sure you don’t wear anything that might show through like lots of lace and fussy detail.Tip two: Going strapless
A sexy basque and thong set is the perfect choice for strapless dresses. Basques and corsets are great for giving support under a strapless dress, pulling you in on all the right places and ensuring a smooth line underneath your dress. Choose one with boning for maximum support and sexy curves. They’re perfect for giving you an hourglass figure – not to mention making you feel incredibly sexy too!Tip three: Sleeveless
You can probably get away with most lingerie styles as long as you have wide straps and the back is not too low. So will you go for the boned basque or corset? Or maybe a sexy lingerie set, matching bra and briefs or saucy body? The choice is yours.Tip four: To thong or not to thong
A thong can make you feel ultra sexy and they’re terrific with corsets and basques! In fact, they’re really great with any other lingerie – or on their own! But if they’re not for you, then there’s a whole range of other great styles to choose from, including lacey french knickers, sexy shorties, silk briefs and g-strings.Tip five: Don’t forget the Hosiery
Show off your legs with a sexy suspender belt and stockings or some sexy hold-ups! But whatever you do, don’t forget the garter! – it’s a must!Tip six: Express yourself
Let your personality shine through with whatever choice of lingerie you desire, whether you want to be flirty, sexy or just plain outrageous.
