In earlier posts I wrote about the sizzling tattoo artist Kat Von D and the father of creeps Mr. Paul Booth. The reason behind writing about artists is that they are the one who give us a tattoo for lifetime. It depends o their skill what we will get in the end. In the same series I am writing about the versatile tattoo artist Hannah Aitchison.

The 46 yrs old artist runs her own tattoo studio, named Deluxe Tattoo, in Chicago. Hannah is adept in making pin-up tattoos, portrait tattoos with a variety in splashes of colors, she has established her niche for them in the tattoo world and that's the reason why people have to wait for even two years to get tattooed by her. Her appearance in the early seasons of LA ink boost up her popularity to a great extent.

With a great aptness in tattooing, she has many other talents. She is a well trained singer and loves to sing while tattooing people. She is also good at knitting. The list doesn't end here, she worked as a news reporter in past and she actively contributed the quotes written by her in a book named “girls against girls” written by Bonnie Burton. Last but not the least she is a well known TV celebrity.

According to Hannah, her work acts like a great source of inspiration for her and she feels blessed as she is doing a job which she loves. Apart from it she find nature as the source of her colorful creativeness.

Paul Booth, the famous American tattoo artist, is well known for his creepy art work. Paul booth owns a tattoo studio named Last Rites tattoo theater, which is at Manhattan, in New York. Even the studio will seems pretty creepy to most of the people. The studio was enlightened with a very little amount of fluorescent light and the walls are engraved with art works and sculptures of devils, bleeding faces and horrible skulls which just create a ghostly environment.

 Paul Booth is the first choice of many celebrities and rock bands as the skulls and creepy tattoos created by him are best of the breed as they are Booth's specialty. in the past years booth has tattooed many star celebrities and bands like Fred Durst, Lamb of God, Slayer, The Undertaker(The World Famous Wrestler). However the cost of acquiring them is too high. Charges at last rites tattoos are like $400 per hour. Regardless of the price people apart from celebrities also prefer him for skulls and monster as he is ace for them in the industry.

He dedicated himself in the tattooing industry and carved a niche in it. There was a significant role of Paul Booth in the art fusion experiment, which is really helping tattoo learners a lot to get a good understanding about the art of tattooing.

Following are some great pieces done by him:

As the tattooing trend is on boom, people are pretty concerned about selecting a perfect tattoo artist for their tattoo. Kat Von D is one of the ace tattooist providing best pieces to her clients, recently she did a tattoo on Demi Lovato. She is not only popular in star celebrities but also in common people . This might be because of the fact that she is a great television personality as well. The popularity of Kat Von D is significantly increased by TLC reality television show LA ink.

Initially she started working in a tattoo studio in Miami, she had to left the parlor because of her break up with a senior tattoo artist working there with the studio. After leaving that studio she started her own studio, named high voltage tattoo, which is in Hollywood, California. She also holds Guinness world record for tattooing highest number of persons in 24 hours, she tattooed 400 people in this little time.

We can also look her as a successful writer and entrepreneur as her autobiography is a bestseller and she is successfully running a make-up and clothing line. At just an age of 30 she has achieved a lot of things as well as she had been through hard times to survive and grow. She is really a living passionate diva who dedicated herself only for tattooing.
