Celebrity Addiction Idolized Tattoos

For Hollywood celebrities, the name of the game is “Fame.”  Celebrities are in a constant struggle to standout, and be singled out as Mr. or Ms. “Famous of the Moment,” and hopefully longer.  Many of Hollywood’s rising celebrities are obsessed with the addiction of media attention, and will do anything from getting tattoos, to starve their bodies, even jail time to obtain fame. 

Then you have the celebrity feeding ground of innocent, ordinary young female icon influenced followers imitating celebrity trends from dress, to hairstyles, down to getting tattoos. 
 
But the lives of glamorous celebrities and those of the heavily persuaded icon-iacs are far cries from each other.  Trying to pull off tattoos like Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox and any other celeb A-listers with tattoos … just doesn’t cut it on the cul-de-sac curbs of small-town suburbia.

When ordinary people, especially young women see celebrities they idolize and worship, going out and getting ornate tattoos, on highly visible body areas, these impulsive idol mimickers go out and get the same tattoos.  And it isn’t pretty.  It isn’t funny.  And it isn’t cool.

The trend doesn’t have to be tattoos, it could be any celebrity trend, it just happens to be celebrity tattoos at the moment.  Any number of Hollywood’s female celebrities could walk down the street wearing a dress of soiled dirty dishrags and the all the “Celebrity Wanna-Bs” would cause a rise in Walmart stocks the next day, as a result of an unexpected dishrag shortage in isle sevens across America. 

Its called Celebrity Tattoo Icon-aholic Addiction and it is a serious disease spreading among young American women under the influence of Hollywood.  CTIA causes ordinary, wholesome all American Girls to waste away on Google searching for tattoo pictures of their favorite celebrity icons to emulate. 

If you don’t believe how serious celebrity tattoo addiction is, conduct a Google search using the keywords “celebrity tattoos” and it will yield thousands of links to sites and directories with images of celebrity tattoos.

These celebrity tattoo directories list thousands of actors and actresses who have tattoos, and the type of tattoos they have.  These directories also list where celebrity tattoos are located on the body, when the actor or actress got the tattoos, and even the name of the tattoo artists tattooing the famous.

It is incredible what you will find on the Internet about celebrity tattoos.  But what you will also find is very little information about CTIA.  The status of popular celebrity trends prevails the seriousness of celebrity idolization and addictions whether the trend is tattoos, eating disorders, or baby bumps.

Deep Dark White Secret

Barely visible, yet unbearable to bare. White ink tattoos are the latest trend gaining momentum among celebrities.

The emerging trend of white ink, tattoo designs created with nothing but white ink are a bit of a contradiction to traditional tattooing.  Traditionally, tattoos are bold, often colorful designs intended to standout and draw attention; and while white ink tattoos do stand out and draw attention, it’s done in a different manner.

The lure of white ink is apparently its subtlety.  White tattoos are discreet and unnoticeable, unless you are looking for them.  And the put off of white tattoos; white ink tats are prone to fading and discoloration, which can be disappointing. 
 
Ironically, white ink tattoos are best on light or fair skin tones, as darker skin cannot absorb enough of the white ink for tattoo images to appear.
 
Getting white ink is much more painful than traditional tattooing.  The white ink used is thicker than other tattoo inks, thus requires a larger, very sharp needle for injections.  Also, white tattoos require several passes over the area to make sure that the white ink sinks fully into the skin

When a white ink tattoo is first applied, it looks puffy and distorted, much like a burn, and often appears yellowish in color. Once the tattoo heals the white ink leaves a ghostly image that looks quite different from a traditional tattoo. 

The downsides to white tattoos are they are notoriously hard to heal; absolutely cannot have sun exposure, as white ink fades tattoo almost twice as fast as a regular tattoo inks; and white ink commonly causes skin reactions with swelling and itching that leads to the ink oozing from the tattoo.

Despite all of this, there are still people with white ink tattoos, who are extremely satisfied.  However, the majority of us mistakenly confuse white ink tattoos for scars or brandings.

If you are considering a white ink tattoo, do your research carefully, as these tattoos can easily go very, very wrong.
