My Recommendations: the japanese artist Chooo-San

If you are looking for inspiration for a 3D tattoo or if you are searching for a crazy makeup for the Halloween-party, you you should check out this websites: http://chooosan.flavors.me/#57d/tumblr
http://www.hikarucho.com/archive (this one is in japanese, but it's quite intuitive, so you'll still be able to navigate it).

Chooo-San is a young Japanese artist who makes strange and surreal ephemeral creations with body painting. The result is both puzzling and intriguing: the eyes and mouths, or batteries that arise on the faces and bodies, transforming them into monsters thanks to acrylic paint.

Below are several of his artworks, which I realy like:

The right to choose a partner is represented by a face that shows what appears to be two men kissing.

This arm zip appears so authentic that we can almost feel the texture of those little metal teeth.

A girl with detachable head.

A man living inside someone's body.

X-ray illusion of someone lifting up his skin as you would lift up your shirt

Here the artwork highlights the right to live without sexual violence by showing a face emerging from a cracked shell, representing the emotional scars

Butterfly tattoo: tips about size and locations on the body

The butterfly is one of the most beautiful metaphors that can be symbolised as a tattoo on the human body. Many individuals like to have colourful butterflies applied to many differing parts of their body. The basic quality of a butterfly tattoo is that even if you place it at any part of the body it always appears to be delicate and attractive. These tattoos also vary in sizes depending upon the body part you want to get it tattooed, like an ankle butterfly tattoo is smaller while the back butterfly is bigger in size. Most of the professional tattoo Artists have the know-how on this one and you have to ask them the best body part on where to put your very own butterfly tattoo if you are not sure about its placement. Lower back butterfly tattoos are usually larger, more stylised butterfly images that stretch across the lower back, one of the most popular places to get a tattoo nowadays (but also known as a tramp stamp). Actually, butterfly tattoos lend themselves very well to this location. The butterfly image is very symmetrical, so the middle can easily be lined up with the spine, the wings extending on either side. This makes the butterfly wings longer and more stretched out than they would be in nature, but the image can be very attractive.
