Billie Piper reveals a new Fox Tattoo

Billie Piper has just revealed a new tattoo. The new tattoo is just three letters...F.O.X on her ring finger on her left hand. This is quite a surprise since she's admitted previously that she regrets her other fox tattoo on her arm. But they are both dedicated to her husband actor Laurence Fox so I guess she's not willing to let them go or have them removed or covered.

She revealed the latest tattoo last night during her appearance as support for David Tennant in his latest production: the theatre show Much Ado About Nothing.

Getting tattoos dedicated to her husband is certainly ok but she should really pay more attention to style and design. The first tattoo is just plain text saying Mr Fox and the date of the wedding and the second tattoo is again plain letter with no style. There are so many great tattoo artists in London, she could pick any of them to do a great cover up with nice letters and a great design. Tattoo is not just about the meaning, it's also about art and design.

Justin Bieber Reveals New Tattoo

Justin Bieber already has one tattoo of a bird, a seagull, on his hip and during a holiday in Hawaii with his girlfriend Selena Gomez, he took the opportunity to reveal a new tattoo.

Justin Bieber’s new tattoo is a row of symbols under his left arm. The new tattoo is believed to say ''Yeshua'', the Hebrew spelling of Jesus. During his "My World Tour", Justin Bieber visited Israel and that’s probably where he found the inspiration for the new tattoo. Justin is a proud Christian and visited biblical sites during his stay in Israel.

The 17-year-old singer is officially too young to have a tattoo but he is growing up very fast and seems to know his own mind when it comes to body art. He is acting like Cher Lloyd who also had numerous tattoos despite being the same age as Justin Bieber.

A picture of him topless in Hawaii has given fans a glimpse of the new tattoo in black ink.



Justin's only just picked up six accolades at the Billboard Music Awards last Sunday in Las Vegas. His latest awards included Top New Artist and Top Pop Album. He’s way too young to play casino games and won’t be allowed in the casino. Maybe that’s why he’s celebrating with tattoos!

Tattoo Award for Tattoo Artist Nigel Kurt

Nigel Kurt, a tattoo artist from Sheffield, South Yorkshire has been named Best UK Male by the UK Tattoo Industry. Nigel has been running his own tattoo studio since 1993 and has had thousands of tattoo fans go under the needle with him. The tattoo studio is called Fun House Tattoos and is a well know boutique to many tattoo fans in South Yorkshire and the UK. He runs the tattoo studio with Jo Pink who joined Fun House Tattoos in 2008.




Kurt specialises in photorealism and mainly does portraits. His style is similar to drawings and he uses the black and grey style. Many come to his studio asking for a portrait of a person close to them such as a parent or child. There are also many requests for celebrities such as music stars, movie stars and TV celebrities. There are also regular requests for tattoos of pets.

Nigel Kurt is said to be delighted with the award which was presented to on 15 May in Liverpool.

Mr Kurt found inspiration 20 years ago when seeing the work of American tattoo artist Jack Rudy who specialised in black and grey style portraits. Jack Rudy is considered to be one of the top tattoo artists in the world.

Mr Kurt is extremely professional in his approach of tattooing and won’t tattoo anyone under 18. He won’t tattoo face and hands (visible tattoos) which is the case for many other tattoo artists. And if he doesn’t like the design, he won’t do the tattoo. Once again, this is very common with many professional tattoo artists who not only look after their style and their reputation, but also want the best for their customers.
