George Clooney furious with Angelina Jolie's kids
Its seems that George Clooney is a bit angry with George Clooney furious. This is because they mess up his place when they were staying there.
According to an Enquirer source, "George was furious when he discovered the kids created mayhem in his lavishly furnished home - trashing the house, moving furniture and tampering with his clothes."
"He has expensive furnishings, sofa covers and curtains - a lot of them are silk and not made for kids to play on. "
Is this true or a hoax?

"First Taste" Art Show at Bound for Glory Tomorrow Night!
In case you're wondering where I'll be on Friday night, the plan is for me to attend the opening of Bound for Glory's first art show.
Now, I'm not a big fan of Staten Island (nothing against the people, just my least fave borough), but the fact that the show is curated by Friend of Tattoosday, Magie Serpica, makes it worth the effort. Magie originally appeared on Tattoosday here.
Here is the spiel from the show's Facebook page:
Assuming I can dig my sister's car out from under a new foot of snow by tomorrow evening, I plan to attend and report on it next week, with a photo or two, to boot. Hope to see you there!

Tattoorism: Sean Returns, Part 2
Last week, I shared more of reader Sean's vast tat-alog here. It's time to finish off our inventory of this very generous fan o' the site. Let's see what we have:
A hearty thanks to Sean for continuing to share his tattoos with us over the years!
...I got a clipper ship on my upper arm. The ship is navigating through a background of clouds and lightning bolts and has a banner underneath reading “Hope.” Its meaning follows the same idea behind my anchor tattoo. Hope is a huge part of having a positive mental attitude, which I try (sometimes with little luck, of course) to hold at all times. It’s a reminder that you can make it through stormy parts of your life, no matter how bad they get. It’s also done in the traditional style I love so much. The tattoo was done by Mike Schweigert at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ.While attending [the 2010] Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention, I decided to get a tattoo to commemorate my first convention. For as many years as tattoos have been a part of my life, this was my first convention...I got a blue rose with a candle spouting out of it in between my sparrows and flower on my outer elbow.
I’m a firm believer in everyone having a different reasoning for getting tattoos. Some are used as place markers in one’s life, some are used to remember an event, some have deep profound meanings and some are just aesthetically pleasing. I could probably come up with some in depth meaning behind the tattoo, but in the end, I got it to commemorate my first tattoo convention and that’s pretty much the only reason. Done by Rocco at Death or Glory Tattoos in Westbrook, Maine.Finally, I got my outer elbow to forearm done with a snake coiling through a skull and dagger and impaling itself on the dagger’s blade.
I usually try to go out of my way to ensure that my friends/family/other people in general are happy, more often than I would like to admit, putting their happiness before my well-being. This tattoo serves as a reminder for me not to do that so much, and to focus on myself sometimes. The snake can be viewed as a protection figure, coiling around and through the rest of the tattoo, but has also caused injury to itself by doing so. Basically, its my reminder that as much as I would like to help others, I need to keep my own happiness and well being in mind before I choose which action to take or I’ll end up injuring myself in the process. Done by Mike Schweigert at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ.
A hearty thanks to Sean for continuing to share his tattoos with us over the years!

Angelina Jolie does not wear jeans
Everybody wear jeans, no matter young or old. But there is one celebrity
who does not wear jeans, which is Angelina Jolie.
She said, “I actually don’t own a pair of jeans. This is an odd confession but I realized when I was into building our family, that if I had jeans and t-shirts in my wardrobe, it’s what I would end up wearing all the time with so many children."
“So I had to kind of not have them, to force myself to not fall into that every day.”

Newsday on Tuesday?
Newsday on Tattoosday?
So winter makes me consider desperate measures. As I've trickled down to two or three posts a week (believe me, it hurts me more than it hurts you), I've occasionally toyed with the idea of reporting on other things in the tattoo community, other than the Bill-o-centric encounters I have in the City That Never Sleeps. I've even gone so far as to write a few posts and then never published them. The reality is, however, I am facing a scarcity of inkspotting occurrences, and I'm just going with the flow.
So, here we go.....
I recently got an email from someone representing a Guide to Art Schools website, listing Tattoosday among the top 45 tattoo blogs. Considering how specific the site is, I'm honored to be included, especially among some of my favorite tattoo cyber-destinations. You check out the list here:
http://www.guidetoartschools.
And since we're throwing around the work "Best, " I received word about a new tattoo reality show currently in production for the Oxygen Network. Its working title is "Best Ink" and it sounds rather compelling. Check it out:
Casting details are here.
And, finally, in a creepy news story, but one that certainly nipped at my curiosity, the artists at Sacred Art Tattoo Studio in Tucson are getting some publicity, as they had the dubious distinction of tattooing Jared Loughner last fall. Not to feed into the media frenzy surrounding this guy, but I was curious, so I just had to look into it. Read all about it here.
So what do you think? Should Tattoosday Newsday becoming a regular feature? Feel free to comment below.

Megan Fox look like Angelina Jolie in Armani ads
She appeared in an ads for Armani, wearing tight white jeans,and her exposing the back of her body.
Her tattoos look almost similar like Angelina Jolie.
Fox complained before in Entertainment Weekly in June 2009 when she was compared with Angelina Jolie. She said "It's a lack of creativity on the media's part. Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That's as far as the similarities extend."

Tattoos I Know: Paul's TaĆno Ink
Last summer, my friend Paul had some new work done by Pierre at The Fort Apache Tattoo Studio near Penn Station. You can see some of his old work here and here and here and here (yes, he's a regular!).
Fort Apache is up several flights of stairs, but it is conveniently close to my day job, which makes up for the aerobic ascension to the shop on 31st Street.
This is what Paul had tattooed on his right forearm:
These four symbols are petroglyphs from the TaĆno culture in Puerto Rico. They are one way Paul has chosen to acknowledging his and his ancestors' culture, in ink.
From top to bottom, the symbols each have literal meanings, and then personal meanings for Paul. The triangular piece is a zemis, pointing in three directions - to the sky and the Creator, to the underworld and the realm of the dead, and to the world of the living.
The second petroglyph is Sol, or the sun and the fourth design is the coqui, or frog.
Thanks once again to Paul for sharing his latest installment of ink here with us on Tattoosday!

Jennifer Aniston and Vanessa Paradis Skipped Globes Coz AngelinaJolie
According to In Touch Weekly, Vanessa Paradis didn't accompany her beau Johnny Depp to Golden Globes because she does not want to see Angelina Jolie. She "can't stand Angelina. She can't stand the way Angelina always flirts with Johnny in front of her. She thinks it's a sign of disrespect"
Even Jennifer Aniston has the same thinking. She skip Globes because of Angelina Jolie too.
One of her pal said "She had originally planned to attend the Globes, and had been invited to be a presenter, but she backed out".
“It’s painful enough to see her ex with ‘the other woman’ but now Jen has no man in her life. Imagine how much worse it would have been in person. Jen feels shut out of Hollywood because her movies haven't been as successful as Angelina's. She knew the night would be all about them, and she just couldn't take it. She hates playing the second fiddle, and she knows she can't compete with the star power of Brad and Angelina".

Angelina Jolie praised for her hair color
Angelina Jolie, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue have been voted for world's most fashionable women for their hair.
Organic colour specialist Karine Jackson told BANG Showbiz: "As seen on Angelina Jolie, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue, the great thing about this look is that we're just playing with tone and not depth, so you can change the colour every six weeks without any hassle or damage.
"For Angelina's colour, ask for a creative colour with a golden light brown on the top and an auburn red colour on the underneath - this will give you the clash of tones needed to recreate this look. Cheryl's wearing copper red on top and golden brown underneath, while Dannii's wearing coppery, red-blonde highlights that clash with the golden blonde highlights. There are no set rules but be careful the colours don't look like a poor home colour. Ask your hairdresser to apply the colours in a horseshoe section around the head and zig-zagged into the parting so the colours naturally merge into each other. This look can be as subtle or striking as you like."

Niki's Memorial Foot
Alas, with winter setting in, spotting tattoos in public is seasonably challenging. Thank goodness for ink on uncovered extremities, like hands and the occasional foot!
Case in point, earlier this month I met Niki in Penn Station after spotting this dagger on her foot:
She had this, one of her three tattoos, done three or four years ago a couple of years after her father had passed away.
It is a memorial that is based on a necklace her dad wore. When I asked her, after the fact, if she still had the necklace, she said she didn't, but said it was a lot like this one. She added "my dad bought it the Christmas before he passed away and it really showed off his sarcasm and style because he was very much into motorcycles and whatnot".
Wisely, in my opinion, she kept the design, but excised the words on the necklace from the tattoo!
Niki had this done by Marc at Ink Link Tattoos & Piercings in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Tattoorism: Sean Returns, Part 1
Back in 2009, one of our loyal readers, Sean, submitted a whole slew of his work for our viewing pleasure. You can read the original posts, here and here.
Why do I bring this up now? Last summer, Sean sent us more of his tat-alog of work and I had been saving it for a rainy day. Since it's a rainy, sleety, snowy day, I thought I should share more of what Sean sent along. And since he sent a lot, I'm splitting it into two posts. What follows is the first installment. Italics represent direct quotes from Sean.
I got the ditch of my elbow done probably about a year or so ago. It is a flower of sorts, of my own design, made up of various geometrical shapes. The tattoo represents two parts of our world, nature (the floral shape itself, petals, leaves, etc.) and science (the geometric shapes making up the flower). I believe that one should not base their ideals solely on nature or science/technology, but on a mixture of the two. It represents my appreciation for both nature and science. Basically, I am fascinated by technology and the sciences that are its basis, but at the same time do not feel that science should trump nature all together but rather, have the two working together in harmony. It was done by Robert “Binky” Ryan at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ.
The sparrows circling my outer elbow were my next pieces done. I had attended a Marine museum in Philadelphia which had a great exhibit on the tattoo culture surrounding the Navy and sailors in general throughout history. According to the exhibit, sailors would earn the right to a single sparrow tattoo after traveling 5,000 miles at sea and a second sparrow after 10,000 miles. I am not much for sailing, but the idea of the sparrow representing travel and all the hardships, journeys, and successes that surround that travel appealed to me. Further, I have a general appreciation for American Traditional tattoos and their overall aesthetics. These were done by Rich Heller at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ.
Don’t quite remember when I got my feet finished up, but it was sometime within the last year and a half or so. My feet are tattooed with a sun and moon, which I drew myself about 6 years ago. The duality of the sun and moon, and various meanings that these two symbols hold are why I had them tattooed. The idea that each represents night and day, or two opposites that work together to make up a whole, are what drew me to having the designs placed on my feet. Further, it represents the two sides that I have to myself, a lighter, happy, and caring side and a darker, selfish side. I feel a person cannot fully understand themselves without acknowledging and accepting all parts of their personalities. I also gave the sun and moon, a dark, kind of macabre, look as I am a huge horror fan and have always been attracted to the darker side of things. Originally, I had them inked by Robert “Binky” Ryan (then at Body Art World in Pt. Pleasant, NJ but now Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ) in 2004. They were done in grey wash and I was happy with them for about 5 years, in which point I decided to have them colored in, and had some background added. The color and background were added by Brody Longo at Slingin’ Ink in Pt. Pleasant Beach, NJ.
The next piece I got was an anchor on my inner forearm. The anchor represents all the things that drag me down in life. Across the anchor is a banner that reads “P.M.A.” the abbreviation for positive mental attitude. I feel the first step in pushing through any kind of hardship in life is to have a positive attitude, and the rest will follow. I want to say the original use of PMA was in a Bad Brains song, but I pulled it from its use in the Glassjaw song “Piano.” This tattoo is also a throwback to the band Glassjaw, as they have been my favorite band for I would have to say at least 10 years now and I have experienced just about every emotion possible while listening to their albums. So as an added bonus, the tattoo brings me back to all those memories. The tattoo was done by Rich Heller at Electric Tattoo in Bradley Beach, NJ.
Thanks to Sean for sharing all of this with us here on Tattoosday, and for patiently waiting for me to post it!
Stay tuned for part 2.....

Clark's Tattoo Incorporates Utah Wildflowers and a French Surrealist
Back in October, I briefly met Clark when I was passing through Penn Station at the end of the day. He was waiting for a train, so we didn't have a lengthy discussion, but he did let me photograph his right forearm:
There are two significant elements to this work. Clark is originally from Utah, and he has chosen to acknowledge this in ink by having Utah wildflowers incorporated in the piece.
The figure is bordered by the French phrase "Nul n'est censƩ ignorer" which can be translated as "ignorance is no excuse." The figure is based on the work of French painter and poet Francis Picabia.
Clark credited both Jonah Ellis and Joss Macetti at Graceland Brooklyn for work on this tattoo.

Brad Pitt not putting Angelina Jolie into sleeping therapy
There were rumors saying that Brad Pitt was about to send Angelina Jolie to sleeping therapy.
According to National Enquirer, it insists Pitt has “a two-pronged plan to pull stressed-out [Jolie] back from the edge and is putting her in a sleep-therapy program at a secluded Swiss clinic AND building a new house for her and their kids in a remote and peaceful part of Africa.”
Guess that all these rumors were fabrication.

A Diversion: A Tattoo Across Time
Well, folks, at one point I had over fifty days of material backlogged, but I've been rationing of late, and tattoobernating a bit. I've less than seven days of posts remaining and this cold weather has everyone hiding their ink because of the cold.
So, until it heats up, check out this piece by writer Shonna Milliken Humphrey in tomorrow's New York Times.
It's a very nice essay and it is ink-related.

Nathalie will be working to help ensure equal access to justice and the protection of children’s rights in Haiti.”
Then she added, “Nathalie Nozile is a force… just wait and see. She will be doing many great things. She represents the best of Haiti. She is an extraordinary example. I am proud to know her and extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with her.”

Celina's Tattoo Gives Her Strength and Courage
Last month, I received a phone call when I was walking through the Borders at 2 Penn Plaza. I sat down in one of those comfy chairs and noticed, once I had finished speaking on the phone, that the young lady sitting next to me had an interesting tattoo on her right wrist. I asked her about it and Celina kindly shared it with us here:
Celina explained that she had originally hoped to have this done in Aramaic, but that she and her artist couldn't find the proper script, so she chose this one instead. It's an old Hebrew script, which I can recognize a significant part of, thanks to my many years of Hebrew school in Hawai'i.
The words translate to "Be strong and courageous," from Deuteronomy 31:6:
×ִ×ְק×ּ ×ְ×ִ×ְצ×ּ
is spoken by Moses, on behalf of God, addressing the Israelites after they have fled Egypt and are about to embark on the journey that takes forty years and eventually leads them to the Promised Land.
This phrase resonated with Celina, who had this tattoo done before she moved to New York from the San Francisco Bay area, and was about to embark on a journey into the unknown.
She credited the artist Chris Evans, in Santa Cruz, California, with inking this tattoo.
Thanks to Celina for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Will Angelina Jolie attending luncheon at the National Press Club?
Angelina Jolie is invited to attend luncheon at the National Press Club
on January 20 but it is not confirmed whether she will be coming or not
according to sources.
The Center for Public Integrity’s Media Relations Manager clarified this matter, as below:
"I read your post “Be on Lookout for Jolie” and I wanted to clarify that nothing has been confirmed at all and it’s highly unlikely she’ll be attending our event at the National Press Club on the 20th. I did reach out to her manager last week and shared information about the event via phone, email and by letter, which included an invitation, but it is very unlikely she’ll be attending. Jolie’s portrayal of Danny Pearl’s wife in A Mighty Heart clearly was the motivation for extending the invitation, along with her work as a UN Humanitarian Ambassador. I have not received any confirmation from Jolie’s manager and hope her manager does not think that this information was leaked by the Center."

Tattoorism: A Bee-autiful Tattoo from the Pacific Northwest
Among the several people who voted for my Thanksgiving tattoo last November, Jude sent along a photo of a tattoo she had recently received, on November 5, her first in fact.
I'll let Jude explain:
Thanks so much to Jude for sharing this tattoo with us here at Tattoosday. It's really quite lovely!
I'll let Jude explain:
My married name is Beeman and next year will be our 20th anniversary. I had been searching for the perfect bee image for years.
The image is by William Wasden Jr from Alert Bay, BC. I found the bee online, one of a series of prints. I found contact info for William, and both called and sent emails twice over a two month period. Unfortunately I did not hear from William. This due diligence did satisfy my tattoo artist, Shoko Sonoda, of Sumiya here in Vancouver and we proceeded with the work.
The tattoo measures 4" by 4" which Shoko thought would be the smallest she would want to go to catch the details. The colours used are 'bee' yellow, black and white."
Thanks so much to Jude for sharing this tattoo with us here at Tattoosday. It's really quite lovely!

Angelina Jolie will not be acting as sex kitten in Cleopatra
In Sony Pictures' new 3D biopic, based on Stacy Schiff's biography Queen Of The Nile, Cleopatra: A Life, Angelina Jolie will not be acting as sex kitten for Cleopatra role.
Director Scott Rudin said: "It is a completely revisionist Cleopatra, a much more grown-up sophisticated version.
"She's not a sex kitten, she's a politician, strategist, warrior. In the Joseph Mankiewicz movie, Elizabeth Taylor is a seductress, but the histories of Cleopatra have been written by men. This is the first to be written by a woman.
"It felt like such a blow-the-doors-off-the-hinges idea of how to tell it, impossible to resist. We're pretty close. A lot of directors want to do it, but there is only a handful we'll make it with."

Jill Walks On with Her Ink
I spotted Jill in the beginning of November sitting in the New Jersey Transit waiting area at Penn Station.
She has eight tattoos, five are symbols and three are word-based, including this one on her forearm:
The one she shared with us is based on the song lyrics of U2 and their song "Walk On".
The letter G and the date refer to her grandmother and the day she died, March 2, 2010.
The lyrics are "And I know it aches/And your heart it breaks/You can only take so much/Walk on".
Jill said that listening to music got her through a difficult time and this song, in particular, carried and sustained her through the mourning process.
Coincidentally, March 2 marked the anniversary of her meeting the band in 2009.
She chose an Edwardian script and the tattoo was inked by Mike at Fat Kat Tattoos in Keyport, New Jersey.
Work from Fat Kat has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.
Thanks to Jill for sharing this special tattoo with us here on the site!

Angelina Jolie wants to have another baby
According to sources, Angelina Jolie is persuading Brad Pitt
to have another baby.
One source said, “Angelina is feeling broody. She either wants to get pregnant or adopt again. She’s been on at Brad for weeks!’
“Brad thinks Angie has a major problem, and he wants her to deal with it before she does something she’ll regret."
“He believes she should get into treatment right away."
“Brad’s worried that if Angie doesn’t learn to control her outbursts, something awful could happen. He’s concerned for the kids’ and Angie’s well-being.
“While they were in New York, Brad sat Angie down and told her point-blank that she needs professional help.
“He said, ‘No more excuses — get help now!’ “He won’t tolerate her lashing out at their kids.
“Brad told Angie he wanted her to start intensive therapy right away.
“He didn’t leave any room for negotiating. He will take the kids and leave if Angie doesn’t own up to her anger issues.
“But Brad loves her dearly, and he has promised to be supportive and stick with Angie as she works through her problems.”

Amanda's Irises (and a Quote)
This start-of-the-year post is courtesy of Amanda, who I met at the end of October in the Borders at Columbus Circle.
It was her sleeve of irises that first captured my attention:
These are inspired by the work of Vincent van Gogh, perhaps this one:
The tattoo was done by Dennis Halbritter when he was at Incognito Tattoo in Pasadena, California. He has since moved to High Voltage Tattoo, Kat Von D's shop on L.A. Ink.
Dennis also inked this on Amanda's inner right bicep:
This quote "IO FU QUELLO CHE VOI SIETE E QUEL CH'IO SON VOI SARETE" is taken from an Italian fresco credited to Masaccio. This is the artwork in question:
If you look at the bottom of the fresco, right above the skeleton is the phrase Amanda has inscribed on her arm.
The phrase is translated as "I once was what you are and what I am you also will be".
These words remind her of her own mortality.
