The Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention was in full swing this past weekend, and many attendeees agreed on one thing; "Tattooing has definitely moved into the realm of the pure fine arts." TattooFinder.com artist Troy Timpel was interviewed as part of the following article, summing up the possible necessity of fine arts training in the ever-evolving world of tattooing.

The Pew Research Center has just disclosed statistics from a study recently performed:

- 60% of 18-25 year olds think that the increase in people being tattooed has caused no discernible impact

It seems that younger Americans believe that tattooing is a less taboo activity than their older compatriots. The vast majority either believe that the prevalence of tattoos in our society today have made either no difference, or a positive one. Here's to the future!

There's no denying that Lady Gaga is a fashion and music powerhouse. If you've been watching the music award shows of late you know just how out there she really is. In recognition of her "legions" of fans (whom she cheekily refers to as her "little monsters") she's been inked yet again.

Who doesn't love TattooFinder.com artist Rob Sacchetto's highly stylized designs? We all know him for his amazing zombies, but did you know that Rob's style also works beautifully in the creation of other types of art? He's blessed us with nearly 50 new designs with all sorts of animals: monkeys, birds, moths (and other bugs), big cats, and more. They're definitely worth taking a look at!

TattooFinder.com artist Anton has just submitted 22 new designs! They're live on the site: a myriad of abstract, fantastical looking designs. They may be just what you never knew you always wanted.

We all know that TattooFinder.com artist Ray Reasoner is a prolific artist. The proof is in the pudding; he has nearly 3,000 designs on the site. That said, he's still pumping them out and we couldn't be more excited. We've got almost 200 new designs from him; plenty of Egyptian designs, Christian motifs, and a bunch of laugh now cry later masks and more. Take a peek!

"I got my first tattoo done based on a design I found on this site. It's an awesome design and my artist did an awesome job on it. The only change to the design I made was the background color on the finished tattoo. I get lots of compliments on it and I will definitely be looking for my second piece here." - Josh - Connecticut, USA
