We are at mid-December. It’s time to panic if you are still searching for gift ideas. Here are some things that the tattooed among us might like to receive.
#10 Movie Tickets
I know, it has nothing to do with tattoos. But we all love going to the movies. I saw The Road last week. My ticket was $15! And the 12 ounce bottle of water that I bought at the concession stand was another $5! With prices like that, anybody would love a gift certificate to a local movie theater.
#9 Subscriptions to any body art magazines out there.
I happen to like “Inked” magazine (http://www.inkedmag.com). It is classy and a little more artsy than the others. I also favor Skin Deep magazine out of Great Brittan.
#8 Gift Certificate to a local tattoo shop.
Your tattooed friend or loved one may have a favorite artist or shop already. Or maybe they have just an idea for a new tattoo. If so, get them a gift certificate to help kick off their new ink for 2010.
#7 Tatjacket….duh…
Beginning this week, the Tatjacket website will be offering an exclusive Headblade gift pack. If you know somebody with tattoos and a clean shaven head, this is the gift pack to get. This complete starter set will feature a HeadBlade toiletry hanging bag, Sport razor, refill pack of triple blades, mentholated shave cream and lotion. This combination of products is only available from Tatjacket. Plus, for this gift pack, we are including the Tatjacket full sleeves FREE. You choose the color and size; we throw them in at no charge. You get the kit and the sleeves together!
#6 Headblade S4 Shadow stainless steel razor.
Again, you have to be looking for a shaved head tattoo enthusiast. But if you know one, here is a great gift. They are selling like crazy here and we are on the 3rd reorder already (we have only had them in stock for 1 month). We offer them for 20% less than retail, maybe that’s why. This razor is heavy and well made. I love the feel and the design. They come in a cool little travel case with extra blades and a sample size shave cream. Very nice gift.
#5 Miami Ink, Season One on DVD
Available on line from Best Buy or Amazon. They will like this real life tattoo studio drama.
#4 Tattoo related clothing.
The Ed Hardy line, Rebel Spirit, Sailor Jerry, and Retro Fashions lines are all good choices. All are available on-line. Check out http://www.tattooapparel.com for these and more ideas.
#3 Tattoo related books.
American Tattoo Master (about Sailor Jerry Collins), Ink tattooing guide, Skin Shows. There are many interesting books on tattooing out there. You just have to pick one.
#2 Gift certificate for a pro photographer.
The one thing people love about tattoos is the look of the tattoos they already have. Getting your tattoos professionally photographed like you see in the books and magazines is a cool idea.
#1 Custom skateboard.
If your tattooed loved one happens to be a skater, this is a cool gift. Zazzle.com will make a custom board with any graphics you want. You upload the images and create the layout. Zazzle makes the board and ships it out. All for $60. Not bad. Check http://www.zazzle.com/cr/design/pt-skateboard.
