X Factor: Cher Lloyd celebrates success with new tattoo

Tat's a rap: Cher celebrates the X Factor final with a new inking Pic: © Rex Features/Talkback Thames

Cher Lloyd is celebrating her success on the X Factor with plans to get another tattoo.

The young singer from Malvern already has three tattoos despite being below the legal age. Her love of body art has contributed to the frequent comparisons between her and mentor Cheryl Cole who also has many distinctive designs including one on her hand.

Cher has a similar design of a musical note etched on her left hand as well as 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos', which is Spanish for 'a pocket full of dreams', inked along her right forearm.  This is a lyric from the Jay Z and Alicia Keys’ hit Empire State of Mind, which Cher performed in week 5 of the live shows.

The teen also has a bow on her lower back and was reported in the Daily Star saying: “The first thing I’m going to do is get a new tattoo. I’m going to get a lyric from my mum’s favourite song tattooed on my wrist.”

She continued: “It’s going to say: ‘All that you have is your soul.”

Earlier in the series Cher Lloyd defied the show's head judge Simon Cowell by planning to add another tattoo to her collection and asked fans for help on deciding what she should go for.

The Daily Mail reported that she said: “Even though Simon doesn't approve of tattoos the thing is I'm my own person and think it'd be cool to get another one. I'm going to ask people what I should get...they can send me ideas on Twitter!”

It was reported this week that Cher has been offered a record deal by US Producer Will.i.am who performed with her in the final, so it seems although she didn't win she has plenty to celebrate.

Quote: "The wonderful thing with the PC game is that while the huge firms always stick around - unless they're bought by another - smaller ones tend to come and go, which keeps the industry relatively fresh faced; at least in certain areas. One that sees a revamp every now and again is the chassis market; which is important, as innovation can often be hard to come by."

Notes From St. Helena: The cowboy with the dragon tattoo

Jeff Warren Napa Valley Register | Posted: Thursday, December 16, 2010 12:00 am |

Anyone who doesn’t have a vivid mental image of Lisbeth Salander or know who Mikael Blomkvist works for probably thinks Tim Lincecum is a 4-foot, 11-inch  90-pound private investigator, covered in tattoos and Aubrey Huff works for Millennium Magazine.

The late Steig Larsson introduced Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist to the western world in his hugely popular Swedish trilogy based upon the Byzantine relationship between a 90-pound female private investigator/computer hacker extraordinaire, and a crusading journalist. The Millennium Trilogy kicks off with “The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.” It is followed by two other page-turners, “The Girl who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest.”

They’re thrillers. Even I’m not mean enough to give away the plots. The books are fast paced with lots of action, and more than a smidgen of graphic violence. Oh. And did I forget the sex?

Wikileaks (OK, Wikepedia) claims that in real life Larsson was a journalist who witnessed a gang rape. Pedophilia, the sex trade and rape are prominent in the novels. Misanthropy and violence towards women is ubiquitous.

According to reviews, Lisbeth Salander is perceived as a uniquely original heroine. She is — to a degree.

However, those of us raised on Westerns in the early days of black and white TV know otherwise. 

Our weeknights were filled with outcasts like Salander — only they were handsome white males — denizens of the old west. We were weaned on “Have Gun Will Travel”, “The Rebel”, “Branded”, “Cheyenne”, to say nothing of “The Lone Ranger” and dozens of others.

The protagonists in those Westerns Paladin, Johnny Yuma, Jason McCord, Cheyenne Bodie and Tanto’s partner all had much in common with Lisbeth Salander.

They were loners. They had their own code of honor. They were unafraid and disdained cowards. Most important, society had them pegged wrong. Like Lisbeth’s, their past was always murky. (Jason McCord, a West Point grad was “branded” a coward because he was the sole survivor of a massacre at Bitter Creek. The song said, “Branded, marked as a man who ran/What do you do when you’re branded,/And you know you’re a man?”). And who knew what was up with the “masked man’s” past?

Just as McCord was pegged with the pejorative “coward,” Lisbeth was pegged by the State and the press as a “psychotic lesbian S&M Satanist,” who was legally insane.

Each of our youth’s Western outcasts was compelled to fight for “truth, justice, and the American way,” — much the same as Lisbeth. Armed with a photographic memory, an uncanny ability to hack into computers and a taser, she took on corrupt policemen and bureaucrats, sadistic lawyers, organized crime, and depraved doctors. She is merciless on men who abuse women due to what happened “in the Evil days” (won’t give that away).

Despite their physical differences (male, tall, handsome, charismatic, vs. “a pale, anorexic young woman who had hair as short as a fuse, and a pierced nose and eyebrows, with a wasp tattoo on her neck . . .”) why do these characters have so much in common?

It’s unlikely Larsson knew that “Johnny Yuma was a Rebel” who carried a signature sawed-off shotgun and decided to rip off his persona and attach it to hip, punk chick with a taser.

Joseph Campbell would tell you that the Millennium Trilogy is simply another variation of the “The Hero Myth” — stories that have been with us since Gilgamesh was first “printed” on cuneiform tablets in 7th century BC. In Nineveh.

Hero myths are all basically the same story — though they all have variations.

From King Arthur to Luke Skywalker, a hero arrives from “elsewhere”, comes to a new world — (country to city), meets a mentor; passes tests; enters dark places; endures “baptism by fire;” almost dies, and then is resurrected.

There are other elements, but the point is that somewhere in our collective unconsciousness there is a need to know that “heroes” are out there who will protect us, fight for us, and do the right thing — even though we as frail human beings may fall short. 

What is particularly cool about Mr. Larsson’s Opus, is that he’s reminded us that heroes come in all shapes and sizes — that white males don’t have a monopoly on heroic activity — and that oldsters like “moi” need to be reminded that new heroes — which don’t fit our preconceived stereotypes — are out there — like the heroes of our youth — ready to make the world a better place — regardless of gender or color.

Kingdom Hearts Tattoo Design Ideas

Kingdom Hearts tattoo designs are meant for fans of the video game series. If you love the games enough to get a permanent tattoo of Sora on your backside, then go for it.  However, these Kingdom Hearts tattoo designs are subtler than ones of actual characters in the games. They reflect more of the theme of light versus dark that the game portrays. So, even if you love the games, but don't want to look like a weird fanatic, these designs just might be for you.

Heartless

The little heartless creatures in the video games are very adorable. Just getting a tattoo of one of them would be a good idea. You could choose any of the heartless baddies from the games if you think the small ones are too cutesy and you want something more scary looking.

If you have the money, make the heartless tattoo more elaborate. Get a tattoo of your open chest right where your heart is. Have the skin stretched and your bones broken to reveal your heart cavity. But, there will be no heart inside. Instead, have one of the heartless(cute or scary, your choice) peeking out from inside.

Keyhole

In most of the games, Sora had to lock the keyholes located in each world to stop the heartless from getting in and destroying everything and everyone. Sora had to find them, and he was often told they would be found at the "heart of the world." This is a great metaphor for life. Each world has a heart, and if locked, darkness could not take over. Does that mean people should lock up their hearts, not let anything in, just so that darkness won't overtake them? Interesting philosophy.

This tattoo design should be of the keyhole as seen in the worlds throughout the Kingdom Hearts video games. Have the keyhole tattooed over your heart. Get some depth perception in there and make it look like you can peer inside the keyhole to see your heart.

Keychains

In the games, each of Sora's keyblades changed based on the keychains they had. Each keychain looked like something related to that world that he got it from, whether it was a honey pot, chocobo or Kairi's good luck charm. In Roxas' case, it is gears that modify the keyblades.

Tattoo Is Not An Addiction - Moretattoodesigns.com

$(".slideshow").height(164);

Tattoo is NOT an addiction. In fact, you can find out how fun tattoo can be over at MoreTattooDesigns.com - But make sure you read the tips and tricks first before getting a tattoo.

The longtime connection involving tattoos and people of questionable character is just not the sole account for why tattoos are frequently offered a undesirable status. Even though obviously this connection, which can be turning into much less and much less of a aspect as each and every era progresses, continues to be real in lots of situations, the topic of tattoos inside existing day has one more cloud around its popularity; it will be darker, and not often according to the reality.

From each people that know and people who don't, you'll find regular insinuations in regards to the "addictive" traits of tattooing. Many individuals activity numerous tattoos; some have acquired them more than many a long time or decades, although other people make ordinary journeys to their favourite tattoo studios, but arbitrarily labeling this as an "addiction" is unfair, unrealistic, and almost never primarily based actually. As every single man or woman has her or his individual specific explanation for obtaining tattoos, it will be extremely hard to understand what a person's explanation is unless of course she or he states it. Some like artwork, some want to honor a specific individual, some get tattoos so as to really feel a component of some particular group, many people just delight in paying dollars. To put it differently, plenty of people have their very own person reasons for obtaining tattoos, and it is practically by no means a subject of becoming "addicted" to them.

MoreTattooDesigns.com says will find two elements of this false impression. The two play a part in giving a negative popularity to your topic of tattoos in addition to towards the men and women who elect to have them. The primary is men and women are addicted on the tattoos on their own; the 2nd false impression is the fact that people today are addicted towards the procedure of obtaining them-- specially, that they're "addicted to discomfort." One particular could possibly wonder the mindset of everyone who states the latter viewpoint; however it unquestionably gives pretty a scope of misunderstandings to the complete subject matter.

A person tattoo artist, in remarking that tattoos really are a "fever," had been referring for the straightforward, if odd, satisfaction which numerous of his consumers had in getting in a position to commit income to purchase long lasting artwork for on their own. "I consider I'll get one other one" was one thing generally heard in his studio. This didn't constitute "addiction" by any definition of your phrase. Nor, in his decades of apply like a tattoo artist, did he at any time possess a buyer who even remotely loved the discomfort with the tattooing approach. MoreTattooDesigns.com confirms this.

The phrase, and its mistaken applicability to tattoos, is usually tossed approximately by people who know as well properly what the phrase "addiction" seriously implies. Addiction is often a compulsion, anything more than which an individual has no self-control. Addiction won't be able to differentiate among a "want" in addition to a "need." People today who do have many addictions-- medicines, alcohol, behaviors, and so on.-- can extremely effectively grow to be addicted to tattoos. Nonetheless, that's absolutely not the circumstance for that vast majority of individuals who make your mind up to obtain them. Most of the people who get tattoos achieve this merely simply because they want them; they don't possess the weak spot of character which leads addicts from the place of currently being compelled to perform a thing.

MoreTattooDesigns.com had surveyed that someone will get tattoos mainly because she or he is addicted to discomfort and for this reason enjoys the agonizing approach of becoming tattooed can only arrive from possibly one of the most ignorant or people that have some individual concerns of their very own.

Alas, the two of those misconceptions shed a really adverse gentle on each the topic of tattoos plus the men and women who put on them. It's a lousy popularity which neither deserve, for there may be just about never ever any reality in both level of see. Although there are actually people that get tattoos with much less than desirable motives, many people who get them achieve this without unfavorable attachment to both the tattoos or the method by any means. The bottom line is in case you locate an individual who's trying to persuade you that receiving tattoos is an addiction, you've got likely observed another person who essentially is an addict and doesn't notice that almost all folks are usually not.

MoreTattooDesigns.com easily provides tons of top tattoo designs but whether or not you are READY for a tattoo. You have to ask yourself. Click here to find out more.

The Secret Obsessions of 'Dragon Tattoo' Author Stieg Larsson | ARTICLE

AP Photo/Jan Collsioo/Scanpix Sweden

In the six years since his death, Stieg Larsson has become the world's bestselling author — and its most enigmatic. He is the prize product of what RS contributor Nathaniel Rich calls "Stieg Larsson Industries," a high-powered publicity machine that continues to pump life into the mysteries surrounding the author — from the mundane to the wildly conspiratorial (including rumors that Larsson faked his death and is in hiding somewhere from Nazi assassins). Rich, who has written before about the Scandinavian crime-fiction boom, traveled to Sweden this fall in pursuit of the real Stieg Larsson.

Through Rich's conversations with the author's closest friends and family members, some of whom have remained silent until now, Larsson the person begins to emerge: a frustrated journalist and crime-novel obsessive who was driven by his crusade to monitor the neo-Nazi movement in Sweden, and a respected expert who worked with everyone from Scotland Yard to the Southern Poverty Law Center in combating the spread of dangerous extreme-right movements worldwide.

Photos: Random Notes

But the myth of Stieg Larsson is likely to persist. "Everyone wants these stories to be real," says Rich. "His fans, reporters, and most of all, anyone who stands to profit from his books."

Stieg Larsson has to be one of the most solidly enigmatic — and speculated-about — figures in the world at the moment. What was it like to go to Sweden in pursuit of his story?
It was daunting, because the people close to him have been interviewed many hundreds of times. A mythology of his life has emerged — one that is highly entertaining but in certain aspects totally preposterous.

How did you break through that, piece together the man behind the myth?
I spoke to a lot people who knew him, and a different story started to emerge: I started to realize that at his core this guy was a science-fiction geek and crime-novel junkie who became obsessed with a relatively narrow subject in Sweden — the history and practices of the extreme right wing. His desire to learn about these fringe groups gave his life meaning, and eventually took the form of an obsession.

You mention in the piece that it was actually a thriller — Frederick Forsyth's "The Odessa File" — that inspired him to start collecting information about extremist and racist groups in Scandinavia.
He started an archive, which is now stored in the Expo offices. There are about six huge filing cabinets, 7-feet-tall, on tracks. The archive contains every kooky newsletter and piece of hate mail sent by Swedish racists and xenophobes in the last 50 years, and every newspaper clipping about hate crimes and Nazi marches. Friends joked that Stieg knew the name, address and even the shoe size of every Nazi in Sweden. The archive goes beyond what any national intelligence service would have — or even want. He was like the obsessives you see at science-fiction or crime-novel conventions, only he was monitoring real people. Of course the neo-Nazis loved this: They were Expo's most loyal readers.

What do you think of the books themselves?
I was much less interested in the books than in the way an industry is created around a bestselling writer, especially a dead writer who can't speak for himself. There is a deep desire that the writer's life story be as exciting as the books themselves. I don't know whether this comes out of a lack of imagination on the part of readers, our out of a yearning for the novels' spell to continue past the final page. Probably some measure of both.

The novels themselves are modeled fairly closely on traditional British crime fiction. The setting is more exotic, there are lots of long names peppered with umlauts, but the main novelty is the Lisbeth Salander character. As Larsson was careful to point out in the only interview he did before his death — to a Swedish booksellers' magazine — Salander is based in part on Pippi Longstocking, the character who is the subject of the bestselling books in Sweden's history. This was no coincidence. Larsson's goal was to write a bestseller. He said the books would be his "retirement fund."

Stieg Larsson's niece, Therese Larsson, is a big part of your story — most significantly as a real-world inspiration for Lisbeth Salander. What was it like to meet her?
She's given almost no interviews to American journalists, and she's given very few interviews at all. I spent the day with her, and I really liked her. She's very positive, full of life, a kickboxing enthusiast. She's suffered a lot of tragedy in her life, and lost a lot of people who were close to her. I found her very sympathetic. And, of course, she's baffled by the level of her uncle's success, like everyone else. It's surreal to her.

Did you see a resemblance to Lisbeth Salander?
I did. Larsson drew from her, but he also drew from other people, and he made stuff up. It's easy to misunderstand the creative process and think that everything's real. It's especially easy to do that with Larsson. He writes about a magazine that's vaguely similar to the magazine he ran, Expo, and a main character who's an investigative journalist, as he was.

What do you think is most misunderstood about Stieg Larsson — and his books, for that matter?
What I tried to get across in my piece, and what hasn't not been reported much, is that Larsson was really savvy about the conventions of crime novels, and his goal was to write a bestseller. There is a universal myth about the writer who makes it big late in life: by day, he toils away at some job he doesn't care about, but at night, he works on his masterpiece. It didn't really work like that with Larsson. He was genuinely obsessed with exposing bigotry. He was running out of money for his magazine, and lived a hard life-he was poor, he'd always been poor, his family was poor. There was a real financial expediency to his decision to write the books. He loved crime novels, but more than that he saw the Millennium series as a way to solve his financial problems once and for all. He was a great student of the crime novel. He knew the formula exactly and he knew what worked.

He might have gone on and written many more novels, but none of his friends think he would've given up Expo. That was his real passion. If he could write the novels instead of having to beg for funding, he'd be happy, but really his love was Expo. It was his crusade.

Rob Dyrdek?s Beautiful Monster Energy Drink Tattoo

December 15, 2010 – 9:56 pm PT by Mike
Tags: Bad, Monster Energy Drink, Rob Dyrdek, Tattoo —

Getting a tattoo is a big step in anyone’s life.  I should know because I got my first one three years ago at the height of her POPULARITY.  Sure having a needle tear your skin open thousands of times per minute feels the opposite of fantastic, but it is a life long commitment that will stay with you for the rest of your life.    Think of it like having a CHILD, or choosing which COLLEGE to attend, or what kind of HAIRCUT you want to get from Fantastic Sam’s.

I’m not sure if Rob Dyrdek has had any ink work done in the past but it doesn’t really matter because he just got a new one that trumps anything else.  Monster Energy Drink commissioned him to get their logo draped on his entire back and I haven’t seen a cooler thing ever.  Kids all over the country are rushing to their local tattoo parlor to get the same thing done, I’m sure.

Despite the tubularness of that thang, please note that he’s not the only person I now who has a logo or brand tatted on their body.  The tattoo below belongs to my friend Chris.  Chris got this tattoo after completing the workout DVD set P90X.  Not only did Chris complete it, Chris dominated it by doing the exercise routine a total of 10 times (working on the 11th).  You will not be surprised by Chris’s results.  Check out CHRIS’S BODY.

I know what you are thinking.  Why get a tattoo of the Wal*Mart logo when everyone knows that Target is way more quality?  Well that’s because my friend Junior had his life changed when Wal-Mart gave a chance on a troubled kid.  He was constantly in and out of trouble growing up in a bad part of town.  That is until Wal-Mart neglected to turn their back and gave a job to a face they can trust.  That is why I will always be proud of my good friend JUNIOR.

And finally there is my good pal Bob.  Bob is quite an interesting person.  He is very funny, he’s smart, and ironically, his last name is Hope.  Even more ironic, Bob’s favorite drink isn’t even Dr. Pepper.  He enjoys his morning kettle of tea a bit more.  Please meet my good friend, DR. BOB HOPE.

Now that you have met my friends with great tattoos, check out Rob Dyrdek’s journey to the tattoo of a lifetime.

Fantz in Your Pants: GF mad about BF's tattoo

Dear Christy,

My boyfriend just got a freaking horse tattoo on his back. It is so stupid and cheesy. He's obsessed with Charlie from that stupid "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" show, and that's why he got it.

What do I do?

-- Hates Charlie Ask Christy

Christy Fantz has relationship advice and she's not afraid to dish it out. Send your questions to fantz@coloradodaily.com .

Jerk:

(Bite your tongue, Fantz. Bite it. Hard.)

Lovely "Charlie"... The boyfriend. Not you. "Jerk" is your worthy moniker... It is imperative that you dump this broad.

Now.

She's an insult to your brilliance.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is a top gem on the tube.

If you desire my genius guidance, retract your statement immediately. Speak up. I have seven pounds of hair encasing each ear.

The tattoo is funny. Sure, I wouldn't do it, but I would totally date your boyfriend -- and be better at it than you -- because of the horse.

Looks like princess is embarrassed.

The only solution is to grasp those preying talons on a tranquilizer gun, gather a couple thousand bucks and drag him to a laser-removal joint.

Note: You'll probably break a nail during the escapade. Abort mission. Plus, "Gossip Girl" is almost on.

Just embrace his ink. He embraces those damn Uggs.

Dear Christy,

My girlfriend freaks out about every single minor detail. Every decision is such a big deal. I love her and want to keep her, but how do I get her to chill out, even about minor things like what she should wear?

-- Stoner

Stoner

Oh, Stoner, you know girls.

I know girls. I know me. Wait. Am I your girlfriend?

No. You're ugly.

However, I sympathize with you and your lover. My BF is driven mad with my frantic antics.

But you know what, boys? Stoner's neurotic GF and I have a message for you: Piss off. (Sorry BF. You can beat me later.)

We're awesome. Is she a Leo? I love her.

Yes, we are high-strung bitches. It's because we are merely passionate about life. Exclamation point.

Yes, both dresses look indistinguishable through your hazy eyes, but just bear with us and give us a feigned opinion.

Sure, that party isn't until next week, but dammit, we need to plan.

Yes, the Rummy card we debate ad nauseam may only lose us the hand and not the entire game, but a lengthy decision is needed.

We know we're irritating, but you're still with us. So quit your bitching.

Crazy pills can help numb her out, but you should take the herbal route and share your bong.

Last resort: Tune her out.

I get that a lot.

Good talk.

Tattoo convention sets sights on Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Tattooing only became legal in South Carolina back in 2006, but now one group of tattoo professionals believe Myrtle Beach is the best place to host a tattoo convention.

The event, which is scheduled for 2011's Memorial Day weekend, could bring upwards of ten thousand people to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. On Wednesday, organizers stressed the event has nothing to do with bike week or the helmet law.

"We have an all age show, its completely oriented and its going to follow all the state and city laws." said Ragen St. Peter, one of the organizers of the event.

Tattooing falls under the control of the Department of Health and Environmental Control. On Wednesday, a spokesperson for DHEC confirmed that the agency is working with the convention center and the tattoo group on licensing the event. According to the same spokesperson, that license will most likely not be 100 percent approved until the event is setup in May.

Some local tattoo artists and shop managers believe the event could help raise the profile of tattooing across the Grand Strand and possibly erase the stereotype associated with the art form.

"Hopefully this will educate people, get their blinders off them, it'll let them realize we're not a bunch of criminals," said tattoo artist Jake Noury.

The event will be open to the public, ticket prices are expected to be announced in the next several weeks.
