Celebrity tattoos are becoming more and more visible and socially acceptable in mainstream pop culture these days. Angelina Jolie recently voted most sexy woman has plenty of tattoos and is probably the most famous and desirable celebrity with tattoos in Hollywood. Her tattoos to date consist of tribal dragons, a Thai tiger, and various Latin sayings across her shoulders and arms.
This surge in popularity of celebrity tattoos began in the 1960s. Lyle Tuttle the forefather of American tattooing tattooed Janis Joplin. Time was when tattoos were the preserve of those on the fringes of society but now it is not uncommon to see celebrity tattoos. Even super models such as Kate Moss and Sarah O`Hare strut around flasshing their body art on the cover of glossy magazines or on the cat walk.
Actor Johnny Depp ranks as heavily tattooed for his caliber of talent and breadth of acting work. His tattooed arms are as often painted to be blank flesh as left with their own tattoos showing and incorporated into the character.
Vin Diesel is covered with a mix of modern tattoos styles, as befitting an underground government secret agent in the movie xXx. The character he plays agent X has one full sleeve, one partial sleeve, chest work and tattoos on his stomach.
As vampire slayer BLADE, Wesley Snipes has tribal blackwork on his arms, chest and back, as well as the sides of his head and the back of his nect. Pamela Anderson had her arm tattooed for real with a barbed wire armband for her role in the movie BARBWIRE.

Electric ScootersLike most people I`m trying to cut down on costs at the moment and trying to save money where I can. I`ve been weighing up the cost of living as of late and it can be quite disheartening. One of the biggest expenses I have at the moment, apart from the house, is the car, as I seem to pay a premium for road tax, insurance, petrol and servicing on an annual basis. As a family man it`s quite hard to do without the car but there could be times when other modes of transport could be used. I`ve been looking at
Electric Scooters lately and one of these could be used when I have to commute into the city. It would certainly save me a fortune on petrol because one single charge of the scooter would last for up to 85 miles. Bearing in mind the fact that charges are between 4 -6 hours this is pretty amazing. It`s not as if the
Electric Scooters are sluggish either because they can hit 65 miles an hour. There`s room for two onboard the scooters and room under the seat caters for most helmet sizes. What`s more, the price it costs to charge up one of the
Electric Scooters is pennies, so the cost of my journeys into the city could be dramatically reduced if I used one of the scooters in the future.
