If you have a special loved one already and you're trying to improve or strengthen your relationship, consider also adding your loved one's name beneath the tattoo. The simple act of placing the name underneath the tattoo means all the positive focus will be on that one person, helping your relationship grow stronger.

A Triple Diamond Tattoo On The Foot Or Ankle Brings Positive Energy To The Workplace

Lion Tattoos

So you are thinking about a lion tattoo? You've made a great choice. After all the lion has been regarded by many as the 'king of beasts' over the ages. The same remains true even today. In the animal kingdom lions are the true monarchs - they are the crowned leaders. Leaders have frequently used lions as the symbol of strength and leadership for thousands of years. And why not; who isn't impressed by the brute strength? Who doesn't stop and take notice when a lion roars? Their thunderous roar just underscores the might, courage and supremacy of this mighty beast.

There's a huge assortment of lion tattoo options for you to consider. The majority of people select a real-looking lion that accurately represents the king of beasts. Your options include selecting a cool, calm and collected lion. Or you can choose a lion with its teeth showing, as if in the midst of a booming roar. No matter what the final choice, a skilled tattoo artist can soon craft a striking, genuine looking lion tattoo for you.

As far as color is concerned, for some less is more. They feel a simple, down-to-earth tattoo is just right. They know a single color will look great, especially when it's created by a skilled tattoo artist. Others feel the top ones include a variety of colors and shades. They feel the skin, fur, eyes, mane, nose, teeth and mouth all need to be highlighted with the use of different colors.

There are many options when it comes to the size of your lion tattoo. It's your decision. Want a larger tattoo covering your complete back or the front of your upper body? Looking for a tattoo that's just inches in size? With a tattoo of a lion the options are unlimited. You can have the lion's head, or the entire lion as your tattoo.

Do you want to add some detail and complexity to your lion tattoo? Then put the lion in a jungle, plains or rocky environment. Not only will the lion pop out more clearly, but there will be added color, detail and areas of interest included as well. Of course the greater the size and the more details you add the greater the price.

A lion tattoo will send the message of might, force, authority and leadership. Take the time to conduct online research and to find just the right design. Then make sure you locate a true artist to create the right tattoo for you.

Travis Barker Tattoos

Perhaps what makes Travis memorable in the minds of people is the Travis Barker tattoos. These tattoos are part and parcel of the whole Barker package, since his body is covered with it. He usually performs shirtless, hence exposing the Travis Barker tattoos for all to see.

According to Barker, there is a simple explanation as to his decision to cover his body with tattoos. He said that he purposely had tattoos etched all over his body so that he could not live a normal life with a normal job and thus play music all his life.

Angelina Jolie Tattoos

On feminine side, "Angelina Jolie Tattoos" is the most searched term associated with celebrity tattoos. She constantly hits on the cover page of various celebrity magazines for her new tattoo designs. She has a dozen of tattoo designs on beautiful body. More importantly, Angelina Jolie has even undergone painful laser tattoo removal treatment. She has more number of tattoos removed than that of on her body.

Rihanna Tattoos

Tattoos have become a fashion trend so popular these days that a lot of people wishes to have one type of tattoo drawn on their skin.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American recording artist, model and former beauty queen. 

Rihanna's tattoos have drawn so much media attention. She has a total of twelve known tattoos, including a music note tattoo on her ankle, a Pisces sign behind her right ear, a Sanskrit prayer going down her hip, a star in her left ear, the word "love" on her left middle finger, an Arabic phrase on her ribcage area, meaning "Freedom is God", a trail of stars going down the back of her neck, a skull with a pink hair bow, the phrase 'shhh...' on her right index finger, the date '11.4.86′ on top of her left shoulder and a henna-style dragon claw, complete with Hawaiian hibiscus flowers. Her most recent gun tattoo was planned to be just below her shoulders but changed it to her ribcage. Although, she was likely to be criticised for her tattoo, BangBang, the tattoo artist, was quick to explain that the image simply "represents strength and power".

At the American Music Awards on Sunday night November, 22, 2009 Robyn Rihanna Fenty showed enough skin to reveal her neck tattoos to her fans. The Sunday night's live show on American Music Awards is bringing more and more interesting and entertaining news for music lovers.

When the famous Barbadian-American recording artist from Saint Michael (Barbados) Robyn Rihanna Fenty appeared on the stage to perform, her tattoos grabbed both the media as well as public attention. Way back in April 2008, since there was a lot of talk about Rihanna's neck tattoos already, the audiences and the viewers at home were pretty keen to have a closer look on the same.

Rihanna talked about her style, explaining why she gets tattoos. "I don't plan my tattoos. It's always something that I love," she said. She is very choosy about her tattoos and she doesn't draw big and ambiguous tattoos but she loves to draw decent tattoos.

Tattoos, she had on her body are not for sex appeal but just for fashion. She admitted that tattoos are like addiction for her. She is so inspired by the tattoos that she always remains in search of interesting and symbolic tattoos.

TO NDC OR NOT TO NDC? THAT REALLY IS THE QUESTION

Not since APD has a three letter acronym caused such a stir in the business travel industry. And those three letters? N, D and C, of course.

New Distribution Capability is a new business model proposed by IATA member airlines that – if approved by the US Department of Transport – will allow greater visibility of the airlines’ products at point of sale. Seats will no longer be distinguishable purely by price and carrier alone. Consumers will be able to compare class, seat type, service levels and ancillary costs, as well, in the same way that hotels are sourced and booked.   

The introduction of greater visibility means that airlines will no longer compete on price and brand awareness, but rather on a more accurate like-for-like product basis. The travel industry understands the need for this change and agrees it is a good thing for the airline industry, the manager and the consumer.

However, the NDC proposition is also stirring up a cloud of controversy in the travel industry. Why? For two reasons. Firstly, IATA has excluded travel managers, travel agencies and trade organisations from strategy meetings. And secondly, because the new technology gives airlines the capability to ask buyers to input demographic passenger profiles pre-search.

All airlines already hold extensive amounts of passenger data, which is used in targeted marketing campaigns, competitive intelligence and to establish the viability of new routes, which is essential for opening up emerging markets.

But none asks for that information pre-search. Doing this means the airlines could – note, not would – discriminate based on the pre-search data, raise prices artificially and charge higher prices to those travellers they feel are able to pay more: corporates. And in a time when managing costs is still very high on the travel managers’ agenda, the possibility of paying more – and artificially so – is understandably grating.

THE HEATHROW DEBATE - WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

We posted a news story on our LinkedIn page yesterday about business travellers wanting another runway at Heathrow Airport. Richard Charman, research manager at HRG, posted a reply. See below. Food for thought, isn't it? We'd love to hear what you think - @btshowlondon or Business Travel Show group on LinkedIn. 

If you look at the IoD's own member research - it shows a significant regional split on where expansion should be focused. Having read numerous submissions my gut feeling is that Gatwick may be given an additional runway, Manchester Airport will get an additional runway, Birmingham Airport will have a significantly expanded runway by the end of 2014, Boris Island or similar will be promoted as a long term alternative to Heathrow, by the Government, whilst expansion at a number of other airports will also be permitted. It is already happening at Llydd Airport.  Personally, I would like Heathrow Airport expanded to accommodate two more runways but, I do not see how the Government can get that through Parliament or the courts because of the environmental impact. The promotion of one additional runway might be acceptable - but some argue that is only an interim not, a long-term solution. The likely outcome of the Davis Commission exercise is an attempt to direct development to a number of airports around the country to try and encourage balanced airport expansion because this implies balanced economic development - such simplistic logic ignores failed attempts to get airlines to use Stansted which is currently a white elephant used many by low cost airlines. Such a scenario could do a great deal of harm to UK earnings from aviation and encourage expansion at airports outside the UK. We are already suffering significant political and economic damage as a result of the imposition of Air Passenger Duty which should be abolished or as a minimum reduced significantly.
