Tattoos with pin-up girls: Oh my God, it`s hot!

Hello everyone! At last I`m here and ready to show you some more things about pin-up! Today I want to show you some tattoos with pin-up girls and tell something about them! Let`s begin!

1) Classical pin-up girls:
With the revival of the popularity and preference of the pinup girl as a tattoo design, many of the old designs are making a comeback in a big way. Many people seem to have a liking for the look of women in retro looking clothes and have gone for these tattoo designs.









Of course when it comes to detailed tattoos you have to consider the cost factor. There is no doubt that a classy looking pinup girl tattoo is going to cost you quite a bit. If your budget is tight then you can go in for a variety and go for that. This is a more cost effective alternative. But if you want your tattoo to stand out in terms of the look, detail work and colors then you have to be prepared for the cost and time to be spent on it.




2) Modern pin-up girls:
Now you can also find tattoos with pin-up girls that are a little bit modified: they are tend to be less detailed (like a cartoon character) or combined:












The most popular areas for such tattoos are: arms and legs, stomach. 

As you can see tattooing the pin-up girls is a trend now, and it`s not a big surprise: it`s cool, beautiful and attractive.

I think that I`m fat: remember a real pin-up girl!

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about the worst fear of almost every girl: about the thought that you are fat. That is a disaster of our generation and I think that there are several causes of it, so, let`s tlk about it.



1) Glamorous magazines dictate beauty standards
Yes, that is true. We reag a lot of magazines and see here a lot of beautiful young women that are almost the same in their appearrance and it means that the type of very thin ang high woman is the standard now. But it`s bad, because any girl is unique, and not all of us are high enough, or our bone structure is different.

2) Being extremely thin is against our nature
I shoul told you one secret: any woman, by her nature, was created for giving birth to children. That is why our body is programmed to keep fat for keeping enegry. That is why to be extremely thin is against our nature. Very thin girls even can`t get pregnant because of the lack of fat.

3) Marilyn Monroe wasn`t thin at all!

the sex-symbol uf the 20 century wasn`t thin at all! But she was incredibly beautiful and she looked like a woman! Because sometimes when I look on modern models, I think that they are not real women, they are just skin and bones. And that is ugly.

4) We don`t want to love our appearance because we are scared that nobody will love us the way we are created

That is true. Just think, why do we wand to be thin, to be like a real model? Because we think that being a model will help us to be loved. That is why we are trying to be as beautiful for other people as possible. But didn`t you think that before everyone will recognize your beauty, you shoul recognize it inside you by yourself? If you would accept your appearance, everyone around you would see it too!

5) We are hooked on our drawbacks
Yes, we always think bad about ourself and notice only drawbacks. But it`s wrong! Every girl has something beautiful in her appearance! Let me tell you one personal example. Frankly speaking, I don`t like my appearance as well as many other girls. But the most annoying thing that`s making me crazy is my nose. I have really big crooked nose because I have broken it twice during my childhood. I really shy because of that, and I really hate it. But I always try to calm myself down, saying that despite my nose is crooked, I have quite pretty eyes. And it helps me to think that I`m not extremely ugly.  That is why just try to find something attractive in your appearance! 

6) A lot of girls who think that they are far are not fat at all!
That is true. Some girls continue to torture themselves with diets and exercises thinking that they are fat, but they don`t! And that happens because of the lack of self-assuarance. Just try to be in a normal condition, not too thin and not too fat (just because it creates a lot of health issues)

7) And just remember- a real pin-up gir wasn`t thin at all! She  was a real women! ;)

Have a nice day!

Retro tattoos: Old-school style

 Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about retro tattoo slyle. It is very interesting to see how this retro old-school style was created and  what were the main features of retro tattoos. So, let`s begin!

"Traditional", or "Old-school" style is a traditionally american tattoo-style. It was created in the post-war period and was extremely popular. The main thing was to have such tattoo, and its creativity wasn`t a big deal. That is why some motives and elements are quite simmilar.



The main feature of this style was the usage of very thick black outlines and red, green colours. A little bit of blue, yellow and lilac colours were also used. 


The second thing to mention is that such tattoos were more like an illustration (they tended to be like a cartoon picture) with no shadows or volume. Why? It helped make the process of creating of the tattoo much quicker, just because sailors hadn`t got enough time to stay in one place.


The founder of this style was Sailor Jerry (Norman Collins was his name) who opened his tattoo-shop and began to spread this style around the country.


So, the founder was a sailor, and there was even a tradition for sailors to make a new tattoo in every new place they visited. 


Sailor Jerry became a real symbol of that period of history, he has made thousands of tattoos. The main feature of his style was the combination of bright polychromic colours like in japanese tattoo-tradition(he was influenced by it) and quite rough line style.


The most popular images were, of course, mermaids, sharps, roses, anchors, swallows, daggers. But the main elements of the tattoo were roses, hearts with ribbons and rolls. 
Pin-up tattoos were also popular, with the images og different girls, cherries, Harley Davidson`s  bikes etc.

Vintage fingerwave hairstyle: not that hard at all!

Hello everyone! 
Today I want to show you a very interesting hairstyle for a party or some kind of celebration. It is a fingerwave. Some people think that this style is quite hard to do, but I can assure you that its not like that and you can easily perform it at home. But I should warn you about 1 thing - this style wouldn`t fit for all girl, asp if you have wide or quite big face.
but on the whole, this style is a very good experience! All that you need is patience, clips (or bobbypins) and the gel for your hair. So, Let`s begin!

Step 1. Curling
Curl your hair. If your hair are curly, skip this step. 
Use a curling iron or haircurlers. Curls shouldn`t be super neat, so don`t worry about that. Separate your hair, take section by section and curl it. Then go through your curls with your fingers quite gently to hold the form of the curl. One piece of advice: If you want your curls last longer, I would recommend you to use simple curlers\rollers. It wouldn`t damage your hair and would last longer.

Step 2. Prepair hair for fingerwaving. 
Then slightly wet your hair. I recommend you just make your fingers wet and go through your hair. It shouldn`t be too wet, coz otherwise it will dry for a century. Then goes one trick: you can use a gel for your hair or...a sea salt. Yes, for example sea salt works great on curly hair (I checked for myself coz I have curly hair) so just spray it all over your head or use the gel. 

Step 3. Creating the fingerwaves.
Make a deep side part, brush your hair (the section you are going to make wavy) all the way forward, and to make your first curl you should pin your clips downwards. For the next row you should brush your hair all the way backwards and pin it. Quite easy thing, huh? You should repeat these movements until necessary level. 
The main trick here is to pin everything right, otherwise your curls will be uneven. If your hair begin to dry, make them wet again. 
Step 4. Last things to do.
When everything is dry, take your pins out and check if sthe shape is correct. Take the comb brush if you need ant gently brush your fingerwaves to make them more even. 
For the rest of your hair do the same thing ar just make a ponytail or just simple curls. 
So hope you liked this quick overview on how to make this hairstyle!
Have a good day!

Thin eyebrows? You can make them thick like the real pin-up girl!

Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about eyebrows. Like many girls, I have quite thin eyebrows and sometimes I really want to make them a little bit thicker, because a real pin-up girl has quite thick eyebrows. That is why I want to share with you some tips on how to help your eyebrows be a little bit thicker using natural materials and a little bit of make-up. 
Let`s begin!


Natural remedies on how to make eyebrows thicker:

Natural remedies to make thicker eyebrows are said to be effective, safe as they do not cause any side effects. To get more hair growth on your eyebrows, follow these simple tips:

1. Castor Oil:



Castor oil is a very old and a tried and tested remedy to get thicker and prominent eyebrows. It is inexpensive and is easily available in the market.
All you need to do is take a little castor oil on your fingertips and apply directly on to your eyebrows. Leave this overnight and wash off in the morning. You can witness possible changes in about 3-4 weeks of time.

2. Vaseline:


Vaseline brand owned Vaseline petroleum jelly is claimed to be effective in thickening of the eyebrows as it helps condition and moisturize the area, thus helping you keep your eyebrow hair straight and firm.
Take small amount of Vaseline petroleum jelly and apply on and around your eyebrow area 2-3 times every day. In a month’s time, you can see positive results, thus boosting your chances of enhancing your natural beauty.

3. Coconut Oil:



Well known for its properties in boosting hair growth, Coconut oil for eye brows is yet another solution. This will help speed the hair growth on your eyebrows along with offering thick hair, which further will help you shape better.
Apply some coconut oil directly to your eyebrows and leave overnight for best results.

4. Onion Juice:



Fresh onion juice, when applied on the eyebrows, will help stimulate new hair growth. Onions are high on sulfur, and are known to increase blood circulation in the area.

Make-up tips for making your eyebrows look thicker:

If you do not have thick eyebrows you can actually make them appear thicker. Here are some of the ways, which top makeup artists recommend to use in making eyebrow thick.

1. Eyebrow tinting products - Eyebrow tinting is one of the best ways to make your eyebrow look thicker. You can outline them using eyebrow pencil, just as Hibba Kapil, a NYC brow artists recommends.


Furthermore, you can make your eyebrow thicker by using eyebrow powder, eyebrow dye, and other eyebrow tinting products such as tinting gels.


2. Always think what will compliment your facial features well. But while applying eyebrow shadows choose the colour slightly lighter than the color of your hair. For example, for black hair use dark-brown eyebrow colour.


3. Proper Eyebrow Shaping – Proper eyebrow shaping, even for people with sparse eyebrows, can improve their appearance and make them thicker. You need to be very careful while shaping them or use some of the best eyebrow stencils for difference face shapes and ensure they are symmetrical.


Once you have shaped them, you can outline them using a good eyebrow pencil to give an impression of fuller and thicker eyebrows.

And that`s it! Hope you liked this post!
Have a nice evening!

Photo-report on my vacation: Altai republic

Hello everyone! At last I`m at home! I`m very glad to be here and to see that you didn`t forget about me!
And today I want to share with you some photos on my vacation and to show the beauty of the nature! It is not connected with pin-up style, sorry for that, but it is connected with the beautiful things! So, Let`s begin! (P.S. All the photos are made by me)


Altai republic is a federal subject of Russia. Its capital is the town of Gorno-Altaysk. The most striking thing is this region is its mountainous terrain. The Republic is situated within the Russian part of the Altai Mountains system, which covers a large part of the Republic and continues into neighboring Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China. That is why almost the whole territory of the republic is in mountains. 




I stayed in Manjerok, it is a small city near Gorno-Altaysk. The air here is incredibly clean and fresh, the 
mountains are not that high but beautiful. But sometimes, when the weather is rainy, clouds can "fall" on mountains like that:


Here I had an opportunity to climb up the mountain on the elevator. The view was incredible:




I also visited a private Botanical garden up in tvere behe mountains. Again, the view, the place itself were beautiful. The owner of this botanical garden was an old woman, and she told a lot of things about different flowers.She even managed to cultivate different varieties of the poppy. 




And this garden was decorated with very interesting and unusual things. The owner told me that she is travelling around the world and collecting different thing to decorate her garden.



I was on vacation with the whole family: with my parents, my boyfriend and my dog. Here we are:




And here are some more photos of Altai:
