One of our generation’s greatest singers and songwriters is celebrating a milestone birthday today – May 26 is Stevie Nicks’ 70th birthday! Since so many of the beautiful photos you’ll find of Stevie are in black and white, you’ll discover that a large majority of Stevie Nicks tattoos are in black and grey. Black and grey realism tattoos have that classic, timeless look which is so fitting for a musician of Stevie’s calibre – her music will be with us forever. The colour, mainly neo traditional, tattoos in this list add that burst of whimsy to the white witch herself.  Once you’ve scrolled though and inspected these pieces they will…

April 2019 marks 25 years since Kurt Cobain tragically took his own life. A clearly deeply troubled soul, his legacy lives on through the music he bestowed upon the world. Nirvana formed in 1987 and produced three albums before their front man joined the 27 Club. Even after all these years the band continues to find new fans – some of the tattoos below are on people who were either small children or not even born prior to 1994. There may only be seven years of photographs, and three albums of song lyrics and album covers, but there’s still plenty to inspire a tattoo. Discover what Kurt or Nirvana means…

Impractical Jokers, Sal Vulcano and Brian Quinn, introduced their listeners to the character of Nugget the Honey Bear on episode seven of their What Say You? podcast way back in 2013. After telling a story about a bear-shaped bottle of honey and the TSA, it led them to discovering the history behind the design and name of the honey bear. From there it descended into giving Nugget a voice, a rather disturbing personality and sick sense of humour. Click here to listen to the podcast. Basically, Dutch Gold Honey founders, Ralph and Luella Gambler came up with the idea of the squeezable honey bear packaging in 1957. However, it wasn’t…

The original Ferris wheel, named after its designer, George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., was displayed at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Similar structures date back to the 17th century which were constructed from wood and required strong men to turn them For 65 years the 65m Wiener Riesenrad in Vienna, Austria was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel. In the decades since, a number of large wheels have been built around the world, with many competing to be the biggest and best. The London Eye, which this year turns 20, held the title of world’s tallest wheel for six years. At 167.6m, the High Roller in Las Vegas is…

It’s that day of the year that people love or dread: Valentine’s Day! The idea sprung to mind to make a post of love heart or love themed tattoos for the day. We were surprised to see that last year we apparently published a Top 25 Love Heart Tattoos for Valentine’s Day post – after 700 posts it difficult to keep track of what we have and what we haven’t covered! This time around, we’ve gone through our posts from the past 12 months and have selected 14 of our favourite tattoos which feature love hearts. If you don’t have a Valentine this year, show yourself some love by getting…

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters premiered 25 years ago on Nickelodeon this October, and after 4 seasons (consisting of 52 episodes) the final episode aired in December 1997. Set under a city dump in New York City, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters follows Ickis, Oblina and Krumm as they attend school where they are learning the art of frightening humans; needless to say, their school assignments were far more thrilling than anything I had to complete at primary school. If it’s been a while since you’ve watched Aaahh!!! Real Monsters – or you’re completely unaware of the show’s existence – think of it as a gross and nasty predecessor to Monsters, Inc. given the…

We’ll admit that we believed that we had no knowledge of Popples prior to beginning research for Kawaii Month. Upon looking further into these toys, we realised that we actually owned one, and may even still have it stored somewhere. Some of you other later 80s and early 90s babies may be more familiar with the history of Popples; if not, let’s refresh your memory. Produced by the same company behind the likes of the Care Bears, Popples were described as a type of marsupial teddy bear. A unique feature of Popples was the pouch on their back that enabled the plush toys to be rolled into the pouch and to…

July will mark 8 years since the passing of 27 Club member, Amy Winehouse. Sadly all of these tattoos act as tributes to Amy, as opposed to a fan piece, having been produced years after her untimely passing. Whether you relate to her struggles or connect with her music, do your research to avoid an equally tragic Amy Winehouse tattoo. Play your favourite Amy album or song and have a scroll through these top 15 tattoos.

Budgerigars are an Australian parrot species that are found both in the wild and in captivity. Budgies, as they’re most commonly called, are clever birds that can learn to speak and mimic sounds. Wild budgies are smaller than their captive counterparts, and are naturally green and yellow; although, through breeding there are tens of primary and hundreds of secondary colour varieties. If you didn’t think these birds were any more Aussie, the budgie’s name is slang for men’s swimwear. Google at your own peril. Budgies are only behind cats and dogs as one of the most popular pets in the world. Despite their popularity as a pet choice, they’re nowhere near…
