I am not sure what provoked the thought maybe it was the Black Rock Coffee Bar van I drove by on my way into the office but I got to thinking...about ink, tattoo ink that is. When I found the cake topper below I was stunned, adorable, urban and unique. I have a love for the rare and vintage. You'll soon realize that I love anything glam, classic and vintage -which is why you'll surly see classic retro inspired elements in my inspiration boards and postings. My secret..shhhh...alter ego is so totally a rockabilly pin-up covered in tattoos of course.

Cute cake topper from Esty. Which is is why I am crazy over brides with tattoos. Fully exposed, and proud. I have many tattoos of my own and these snaps I found ROCK! I am inspired by intensity and have always been drawn to rich colors and textiles personalities and large crowds; I'm glad to see society being more accepting of personal expression and the fact that a brides these days are not the cookie cutter bride in a pretty pretty princess gown all the time is refreshing.



So for your daily inspiration I say "be you" you're the most glamorous and sexy when you are. I found a blog that featured tattoo'd brides and I was thrilled, how cool. It doesn't look like there has been a posting for a while but nonetheless neat to skim trough. Now I knew about Offbeat Bride -which by the way is a favorite of mine have you seen it yet? If not -please do. I swear nothing and I mean nothing these days is an original idea...unless I guess you have a custom tattoo.

This shot is beautiful, the hair, her lips, -the gloves are the perfect touch of glam. Found her on http://www.bride.ca/

This couple found on Tattoo & Piercing blogspot. Had to share this one it is so candid. This black and white series was captured by Tracy Taylor Photography
