Usher in the Year of the Tiger with a New Tattoo!

2010 Looks to be a great year and I am looking forward to ringing in the new decade on January 2nd by visiting a new tattoo shop of the Lower East Side called Thicker Than Water Tattoo Studios.

From Noon to 10:00 PM, artists in the shop, which just opened on December 1, 2009, will be inking Year of the Tiger tattoo specials for $50.00 apiece. It's first-come, first-served, folks, so don't show up too late.

In case you were wondering what kind of tattoo this deal will get you, we here at Tattoosday were thrilled to get a sneak peak of the flash from which customers can choose, and got the blessing from Shon Lindauer, designer, tattooer and shop manager, to share the designs with our readers:

So, come on down to Thicker Than Water and start the new decade with an appropriate Tiger tattoo to ring in the year!

Crazy and Funny Celebrity transformed into muscled beefcakes

We all know celebrities can be obsessive about their weight.

One minute they’ve slimmed down, the next they’ve piled on the pounds, perhaps to play a new film role.

But these digitally altered photos take the weight game to the extreme – by transforming the stars into bodybuilders.

Keira Knightley is often criticised for being too thin – but she’s beefed-up here

Angelina Jolie complete with bursting biceps bigger than husband Brad Pitt’s
The images are created by superimposing the celebrities’ heads on to photographic images of bodybuilders.

And the results will certainly make you take a second take as they look bizarrely realistic – even though Winehouse’s scrawny frame has been transformed into a toned manly physique.

Imagine: Model Gisele Bündchen would hardly fit down the catwalk built like this

Cameron Diaz with muscles so big the veins in her arms are nearly bursting
The shots also show how photo trickery can truly transform the look of a person.

And it flies in the face controversial techniques glossy magazine use to make their front cover stars look thinner.

Larger than life: Sx And The City stars Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker

Charlize Theron striking a rather unfeminine pose with killer calf muscles
Instead, the results show the stars as they could look as a serious athlete.
