Why Do People Get Tattoos?
Tattoos
A lot of people probably do not understand the whole concept of wanting and getting a tattoo, especially if they do not have one themselves. There are numerous reasons why one may want to get a tattoo but to be honest every person's reason is unique. So listen up all you non-tattooed people this may help give you a little insight on why people get tattoos.
First and foremost, there are probably a lot of people out there that can not explain their reasoning for getting a tattoo, expect for they just simply wanted one. However, there are many more than can give you an upfront straight answer to this question. Like, a lot of people like to get a tattoo to remind them of some stage in their life or to help them remember something special or important that has happened to them. Others get tattoos to express love or feelings about something. While many others get tattoos to remember loved ones or someone they have lost. Also some people just simply like the art of tattooing and think of tattoos as an accessory like a piece of jewelry or something to that effect. While others get tattoos to show that they belong to a certain group or organization.
In conclusion, people get tattoos for various reasons and most of them have nothing to do with being a hoodlum or a out of control, bad, stealing, person. So the next time you see someone with a tattoo, try not to judge them. Their tattoo more than likely represents something special or important that has happened in their life and you should not judge them. Like Thumper's mother said, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

SUCK, the Best Rock n' Roll Vampire Flick
A STRUGGLING BAND FINDS FAME � AND AN UNQUENCHABLE THIRST� AFTER BECOMING VAMPIRES IN THIS ROCKIN�, COMEDY SWOOPING ONTO DVD AND BLU-RAY THIS FALL
Directed by and Starring Rob Stefaniuk, this 2010 Theatrical and Official Selection of Toronto and SXSW Stars Malcolm McDowell, Jessica Par�, Dave Foley, Henry Rollins and Moby Along with Rock Icons Iggy Pop, Alex Lifeson and Alice Cooper
IN STORES SEPTEMBER 28
PORT WASHINGTON, NY � �Twilight meets True Blood with a dash of Rock Star[1]� in SUCK, a rock-n-roll vampire spoof arriving on DVD and Blu-ray this Fall, from Entertainment One. Fresh off of a series of theatrical screenings across the country, SUCK follows a bottom-shelf bar band that�ll do anything for a record deal. After a life-changing encounter with a vampire, they rocket to stardom only to discover that fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be. Featuring an all-star ensemble, riotous cameos from rock icons along with a killer soundtrack � and arriving while our culture is transfixed by all things vampiric � SUCK is sure to be devoured by horror lovers and music fans alike, when the DVD and Blu-ray versions ($24.98 SRP each) are unleashed on September 28.
The Winners are a go-nowhere rock band, living out of the back of a hearse, which is also doubling as their �tour van.� When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley, �NewsRadio�, �The Kids in the Hall�) tells them that they are getting �long in the tooth,� he doesn�t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, however, their humdrum image radically changes after bass player Jennifer (Jessica Par�, Hot Tub Time Machine, Wicker Park), disappears one night with a hip, goth vampire (played by Dimitri Coats of the band Burning Brides). Shortly thereafter, she emerges, lacking more pigment than usual, but possessing a new sexually-charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.
As the band members succumb one by one to blood lust, their new �gimmick� launches them into the limelight. Following an incident on a national radio show with �Rock�n Roger� (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. But fame comes with a price as Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the front man, is haunted by a sinister bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell, Halloween, �Entourage�,A Clockwork Orange), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that the thirst for fame may not be worth the price of their souls.
A wild ride down the highway to hell, SUCK also boasts a soundtrack that includes Iggy Pop�s, �TVeye� and �Success�; Alice Cooper�s, �I am a Spider�; Lou Reed�s Velvet Underground�s �Sweet Nuthin�; David Bowie�s, �Here Comes the Night� and The Rolling Stones, �Sympathy for the Devil.�
The DVD and Blu-ray editions of SUCK both include a mesmerizing collection of extras, including the comprehensive making-of featurette �Down to the Crossroads or: How to Make a Movie SUCK,� an audio commentary track, and Burning Bride�s music video for �Flesh and Bone.� The DVD for SUCK is presented in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound. On Blu-ray, the film is presented with DTS-HD Master Audio. Both releases include English SDH Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Toronto Film Festival announces initiative with Harmony Korine
Rotterdam, Netherlands (September 8, 2010) - The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR), one of the leading international film festivals, announced today exciting new projects and partnerships for its pioneering Cinema Reloaded digital film production / online fundraising platform. Launched earlier this year, Cinema Reloaded allows filmmakers to directly connect with film-lovers around the world in order to finance and distribute their projects through online crowd funding.
The first trio of films produced under the auspices of Cinema Reloaded will premiere at the IFFR in January 2011. The line-up will include the next project from acclaimed American independent filmmaker Harmony Korine (Gummo, Trash Humpers). Korine, who is introducing the project today with a video message on www.cinemareloaded.com will collect finances for his new film entirely through the "Cinema Reloaded" initiative.
Korine joins previously announced participating "Cinema Reloaded" inaugural filmmakers Ho Yuhang (15Malyasia) and Alexis Dos Santos (Unmade Beds). Dos Santos and Yuhang have received more than 500 co-financiers to date and have already begun production on their films.
Cinema Reloaded is linked to a simple crowd funding system that works on the basis of donations. A 5 euro donation is enough to become a co-financier of one or more of the film projects - from 25 euros, you will also be listed on the credits. The filmmakers have until 31 December 2010 to finance their projects through Cinema Reloaded. Harmony Korine, Ho Yuhang and Alexis Dos Santos will keep their co-producers informed through blogs and video updates.
Harmony Korine entered the film industry in 1995, as the screenwriter of Larry Clark's film Kids. His sizeable and varied oeuvre has since confirmed his reputation as one of the most controversial filmmakers in cinema today. Korine made his directorial debut in 1997 with Gummo. His provocative Trash Humpers (2009) screened at festivals in Toronto and Rotterdam.
The world's first online social network for the finance of films by donation set up by a film festival, IFFR's Cinema Reloaded was born of a belief that film festivals, with their pool of enthusiastic audiences and professional contacts, need to explore and support this new way of producing and distributing films. Innovations in the film industry owing to digitalisation and new online channels are offering filmmakers, film festivals and their audiences new ways of financing, making, distributing and watching films. IFFR has been the initiator of similar groundbreaking programs in the past, such as the Hubert Bals Fund, an initiative providing grants to remarkable cinema projects in developing countries, and CineMart, the first platform of its kind to offer filmmakers the opportunity to launch their ideas to the international film industry and to find the right connections to get their projects financed.
IFFR director Rutger Wolfson said , "At a time when the international marketplace for truly independent films is rapidly changing, and many films and filmmakers are having difficulty getting exposure, IFFR has created new and exciting opportunities for a wide range of films to find funding and reach an audience. Our innovative "Cinema Reloaded" program, which we began earlier this year, will help realize films by three fantastic filmmakers, and help build a global online community of passionate film enthusiasts with the opportunity to be involved with film projects from inception through release."
IFFR also announced today an exciting partnership with the American independent film news website indieWIRE.com. indieWIRE will be devoting a permanent place on its homepage to Cinema Reloaded. The site will also co-host blogs by Korine, Ho and Dos Santos.

Fairy Tattoos Designs
Fairy Tattoos Designs 
Fairy tattoo’s are a fairly recent development and they represent a certain range of interests or way of thinking. The very word fairy, derived from the Latin “fata”, or fate underlies the use of fairies in literature and myth to explain the workings of destiny, with it’s often unpredictable nature of gifts and disappointments.
The Fairy as a tattoo design can be as simple as a take-off on the often overpowering presence of corporate America in pop-culture, think Tinkerbell and Disney creatures, or it harkens back to a rich history of story, myth and folklore. A fairy tattoo design can be cute and rather precious, like something out of a children’s book. In fact, for some people, that’s the whole appeal.
Fairy tattoos have a nostalgic appeal for those who remember childhood fondly and wish to keep the images of childhood part of their lives on an ongoing basis.
Fairies in literature are often the personification of human wishes and desire in the form of little people with magical powers. As a tattoo design they can be symbols of youthful innocence and a desire to retain a child-like imagination, wonder and awe.
Fairy tattoo’s are not all innocent like Tinkerbell and when you think about it, that makes a lot of sense. In traditional fairy tales, fairies are not always good. In fact, they are far more likely to be mischievous or even fearsome. Among medieval societies fairies were feared; according to legend they would sometimes steal a baby and leave one of their own in its place. They could poison livestock and ruin a harvest. In short, they were to be respected and feared. So while there are some pretty and cute fairy tattoos, there are also fairy tattoos that are decidedly Gothic in tone and appearance.
The use of supernatural beings, who often meddle in human affairs in fairy tales, has created a genre of story-telling that is rich in symbolism and that lays bare the psychological and social challenges as we pass through the stages of childhood to adulthood. The presence of magic makes fairies a favorite of children and as a tattoo design they are a potent symbol of our youth.
