Tattoo machines are modeled after an electric engraver invented by Thomas Edison around the turn of the century, but they have undergone a variety of changes and adaptations. Before the invention of tattoo machines tattoos were applied by hand. Tattooing will never be as fast as it is without tattoo machines.

Today, tattoo machines are used in shops and parlors around the world. These guns are also referred to as tattoo machines. It's interesting to note that tattoo artists usually refer to their equipment as a tattoo machines whereas novices often use the term tattoo gun. Tattoo machines are made in different sizes. Tattoo machines can be sold separately and they are often sold in tattoo kits. Modern tattoo machines utilize electromagnetic coils that alternately move the needle up and down which drives the pigment into the skin. Modern tattoo machines can control needle speed, depth, and pressure, which have allowed tattooing to become a very precise art form.

Tattoo machines will continue to evolve in design and application as tattoo artists continue their search for the "perfect" tattoo machine. Tattoo machines have evolved in many ways, but the primary goal has remained the same over the ages; to put ink into the skin. Rather than using the one needle that might have been used in the past, these modern tattoo machines use many needles to insert the pigments under the skin. Tattoo machines can create many different designs according to the customer request.

Most people think tattoo machines just like sewing machines - rotating needles up and down with hollow needles, but it is not true. The recommendation is that homemade tattoo machines should be avoided like the plague. The health risks of homemade machines are just far too great - it is strongly advised to purchase a pre made machine from a reputable dealer like Ultimate Tattoo Kits: http://itattoosets.com/Tattoo-Kits-category-7.html.

I was so hungry that I published it on my facebook wall. Couple of minutes an old friend answered me back saying "Hey you are starving and you like swords don't you??? Then you should try what these guys did.
Believe me I was starving but after looking to these guys, well you know its not something you want to do with your swords collection.
I found out there are three reasons why you shouldn't buy swords when hungry:
1)    You could get a new job on a circus bu eating as many swords as you can in 2 minutes
2)    You could end up on a Guinness World Records' book, for being  "The guy who transforms his face into scissors in 2 simple steps". You should see the picture at our blog. This guys has 2 swords that come back from his neck and and across his cheek on the opposite side. Believe me you don't want that job.

Vintage Anniversary Rings are perhaps one of the best ways that one can impress his girl. But are we really that good at buying something as precious and as costly as a vintage wedding ring? Read on.

 

To start off, antique rings are rings which have been around for at least 50 years and in most cases have been handed over to the younger generations by the older ones. There are various types of vintage Handmade Rings. One can choose from a variety of Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian style etc, based on his or her taste. The design and the style differ considerably from one era to the other. For example, the Victorian era has a lot of intricate filigree work going into it with a lot of flowers and at times, miniature engravings. The Georgian on the other hand is unique for its handmade rings which takes its inspiration from the nature. The late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century saw more of silver work with uncut precious stones.

If you have the greens to spare, there is no end to the choice you will have to impress your loved ones. But it is always very important to be sure that you get the best antique wedding rings or vintage engagement rings as there are always imitations in the market. There are literally thousands of jewelry shops selling antique engagement rings. Most dealers tend to sell the vintage rings at a higher rate. But they provide the authenticity that you would be concerned about. A certified dealer would give you accurate cartage, pure gold and also a provenance certificate to authenticate the originality. By far, flea markets seem to be the best and the cheapest way to acquire really good and beautiful vintage wedding rings. They are always flooded with such rings from different era that one would be spoilt for choice. It also is very easy on the pocket. And the best part is, if you take your partner along, she can get the best for herself and also do the bargaining. It's a win-win situation for you.

For the net savvy, there is a whole ocean of offers and a wide range of selection. And also if you are on the internet, you can look out for various ways to ensure the authenticity of a stone and the provenance of an antique ring.

Snake charmer! Christina Milian slips into sexy lizard print cut-out swimsuit to beat the Miami heat

With the heat stepping up in Miami, Christina Milian decided to get cool... in more ways than one.
The 30-year-old mother slipped her snake hips into a lizard print cut-out swimsuit for a splash in the ocean, and looked spectacular for it.

Second skin: The Voice's Christina Milian slipped into this sexy snake swimsuit for a dip in the water at Miami Beach

The nicely voluptuous singer filled the difficult-to-wear one piece perfectly and wore her thick hair to one side in a pretty plait.

She beamed widely as a nanny watched her two-year-old daughter in a nearby cabana.

It's a far cry from the situation tow years ago when Milian's dream became a nightmare after her husband singer-producer The-Dream cheated on her with his assistant.

Now legally separated from Violet Madison Nash's father, the R&B singer is happy with her life as a single mother.
Christina, The Voice's social media correspondent, frolicked in the surf clearly confident that she looked good in her swimwear.

Barely there: It takes a confident woman to wear a suit like this, and thankfully Christina is there again after her relationship break up

Fits like a dream: The Voice social media doyenne still cuts a swathe like a stage-straddling beauty

The doting mother has tweeted her love and devotion to her 'coolest baby in the world.'

She wrote: 'I can't wait to take Violet on tour w me someday. She's such a COOL KID! ‪#ImInLove'

The Dip It Low singer suffered a loss on July 3 when her other baby -- her beloved dog SheRah succumbed to cancer.

'My Family & I will miss her 4ever, and thru all my tears I'm happy 2 know she is ok now. A dogs love is truly unconditional,' Milian tweeted.

However, Christina was in better spirits when she did an interview with Houston's 97.9 The Box, speaking candidly about her ex Terius Nash's lack of relationship with their daughter.

Just beachy: Christina, who dated Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon in the past, is back on form after a difficult time 

Mother-of-one: Christina is bringing up two-year-old Violet herself after splitting with her father after just three months of marriage

'I’m not happy at the moment, but I have come to the realisation that I have to be 200% mum for her and it’s not about finances, it’s about spending time,' Milian said of The-Dream, who also has three children with singer Nivea.

'We live in different cities, he’s in Atlanta and I’m in LA. There are planes and plenty of money for airplanes so... I’m not one of those who withhold their children from their baby daddy. Don’t do that.'

And as far as dating goes, Christina said that she hopes 'someday there will be a healthy man in my life that will love [Violet] the way I do.'

Sands of time: Things have got better for Christina and she's embracing life again

Tranquil waters: The tide was peaceful on the balmy Miami day

The newly-signed Young Money artist, who has not had a Top 10 hit since 2004 with Dip It Low, went on to talk about how excited she was to be recording her much-delayed fourth album.

The former Def Jam artist says she feels 'complete' and like she's '18 getting a record deal for the first time' and has already tweeted several pictures from the recording studio.

She is looking forward to collaborating with label mates Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Nicki Minaj.

Girl aLOUD! Sarah Harding dresses for summer in an eye catching leopard-print top and neon shades

It's been glum and grey in Britain over the past few weeks, but Sarah Harding did her best to brighten up her corner of London by donning a neon yellow leopard print top in Primrose Hill today.
The Girls Aloud star looked ready for a rave, throwing in a pair of fluorescent pink-rimmed sunglasses to the eye-catching ensemble for good measure and loading up her wrists with bracelets and wristbands.
It looked like the 30-year-old singer was trying to bring a little bit of the Ibiza party spirit to the capital after her recent sunshine holiday on the island.

Sarah Harding was spotted out in London with her phone in hand as she rocked bright neon leopard print

The Girls Aloud singer clashed fluorescent colours for a casual daytime look

Her bright garments stood out against a pair of simple black leggings worn with black knee-high boots and a black shoulder bag as she carried a bottle of flavoured water.
She was spotted yesterday clutching the same boots in her arms, having sensibly swapped them for a pair of Converse trainers as she giggled after getting tangled up in the leads of her three dogs as they enjoyed a daytime walk.

Sarah laughed as her adorable pooches set her in a tangle on a walk yesterday, holding the same boots she sported today with her bright ensemble

Friends say clean-living Sarah feels ready for a fresh start after a tumultuous year which saw her spend time in rehab and end a four year relationship with ex-fiance, DJ Tom Crane.
A close source reportedly said: 'She feels she's turned a massive corner in her life and isn't the same person she once was. She has told pals she's love to be loved again and has said she's ready for a new start.'

Girls! What would the Dowager Countess say? Downton sisters are transformed in magazine cover shoot

The Olympic mascot masquerade: Wenlock and Mandeville invade London... but no-one will be fooled by their bizarre disguises

Olympic mascots Wenlock and Manderville are eye-catching at the best of times.
But today Londoners were treated to a special sight as the energetic cycloptic duo invaded London in a bizarre array of disguises.
A collection of 83 sculptures of the couple were planted at sites around the city as part of a new 'discovery' trail to promote the Games.

Can you see him? A collection of 83 sculptures of the couple were planted at sites around the city as part of a new 'discovery' trail to promote the Games

The two-metre tall figures are part of Stroll, six individual discovery trails around the city, with the aim of encouraging Londoners and tourists alike to explore the capital on foot.Each outfit represents a different element of the capital's culture.
The sculptures have already proved popular with tourists and children who were keen to have their pictures taken beside the one-eyed icons.

 

They include a Cockney Wenlock, with illustrations of well-known cockney rhyming slang terms all over his body and Punk Mandeville, who looks every inch the rebellious anarchist.
The one-eyed cartoon mascots represent droplets of steel that was used to build the Olympic stadium, organisers have revealed.

Apples and pears: The Cockney Wenlock, left, has illustrations of well-known cockney rhyming slang terms all over his body while The Punk Mandeville, right, looks every inch a rebellious anarchist. Both  are stationed at Aldgate in the City of London

Running round London: Wenlock decorated with a street map of Westminster as part of the London Games promotion

Strategically placed: The models popped up at a string of locations around London

The duo require a certain amount of explanation before they begin to make any sense.

Firstly the names, which might ring a few geographical bells.
Wenlock is named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock where, in the mid-19th century, the Wenlock Games became one of the inspirations for the modern Olympic movement.
Mandeville's name is derived from Stoke Mandeville, in Buckinghamshire, home to Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

Judge Wenlock: Wenlock is named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock where, in the mid-19th century, the Wenlock Games became one of the inspirations for the modern Olympic movement

Cast in the fires of Bolton: They are said to have been fashioned from the last drops of steel left over from the final support girder of the Olympic stadium when it was made in Bolton

Household Cavalry Mandeville in front of the Houses of Parliament. A collection of 83 sculptures of the couple were planted at sites around the city

Doctor Wenlock: He is named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock where, in the mid-19th century, the Wenlock Games became one of the inspirations for the modern Olympic movement

Westminster Abbey Wenlock: The duo require a certain amount of explanation before they begin to make any sense

In the 1940s Dr Ludwig Guttman came to the hospital to set up a new spinal unit to help former soldiers suffering from spinal cord injuries.
Looking for ways to inspire those in his care he encouraged them to take up sport and the Stoke Mandeville Games was formed, widely recognised as a forerunner of the modern Paralympic movement.

Then there is there appearance. A whole story has been created to explain that - they are said to have been fashioned from the last drops of steel left over from the final support girder of the Olympic stadium when it was made in Bolton.

Tourist Mandeville: The duo were fashioned into figures and magically came to life and set about making a journey to the Olympics in London

Fun: The sculptures have already proved popular with tourists and children who were keen to have their pictures taken beside the one-eyed icons

Working hard: Rainbow Arts And Crafts Co in Dafeng, China, has shipped nearly 500,000 mascots of Wenlock and Mandeville for the coming Olympic and Paralympic Games

MIC's Kimberley Garner flashes a bit TOO much at The Dark Knight Rises afterparty (and that long train wasn't the best choice for a London premiere either!)

She had earlier caused a stir in her revealing outfit as she posed up on the black carpet at the London premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.
And as she attended the afterparty for the event, Made In Chelsea star Kimberley Garner quickly found out that her aquamarine halterneck dress, which she had designed herself, was not the best outfit choice after indulging in a drink.
The 22-year-old star flashed a bit too much as she headed home from the event, held at the Freemasons Hall.

Not the best outfit in this weather! Made In Chelsea star Kimberley Garner flashed a bit too much as she attended the afterparty for The Dark Knight Rises last night

Flashing the flesh: Kimberley also discovered that the train on her aquamarine dress quickly got dirty in the less than summery London weather

Kimberley, who recently split from MIC co-star Richard Dinan after a brief romance, was also quick to find out that the long train she had added to her outfit was a less than suitable addition, with the hem of the gown quickly getting filthy in the rain.
However, the reality starlet appeared entirely unaware of how dirty the dress was getting, as she happily twirled around for photographers outside the venue.
Earlier in the evening, Kimberley had taken to her Twitter page to reveal her excitement over attending the premiere.

Spot the difference: Kimberley wore the same colour gown to the event as Pixie Lott, but the singer was a lot more demure in her outfit

Body confident: Anyone who has seen Made In Chelsea will know Kimberley isn't shy about showing off her body

She tweeted: 'Just arrived at ‪#DarkKnightRises‬ I am wearing a dress that I designed! Can't wait!'
But when Kimberley arrived for the event, she was quick to discover that there was someone else at the event wearing an incredibly similar outfit.
Pixie Lott was seen wearing an aquamarine dress as she posed up, but the bulky material of the gown made the ensemble look far too mature for her 21 years.

Working it: The property heiress seemed to be enjoying her moment in the spotlight

Leggy: Kimberley showed off the figure which attracted so many of her Made In Chelsea co-stars

Also at the premiere was Kimberley's nemesis Cheska Hull, who hopefully kept her distance.
Although filming on Series 4 is expected to start soon, Kimberley isn't sure whether she would be returning.

She denied she was fired from the show after a vicious argument with her friend and co-star Harriet Loder.
She told the Mail On Sunday's Katie Nicholl: 'They have asked me to come back, but I don't know whether I want to, I always get so scared as to how the show will edit me. It was such a whirlwind last time.
'I have been offered a part in a film, I can't breath a word about it but I will tell you as soon as I can! I also want to bring out my own fashion line.'
