EcoGlamour 2010 beach day!

Tattooluum Represents at EcoGlamour 2010, Tulum

EcoGlamour 2010 Tulum

Sometimes you just have to go out and have some glamour!!! I had the very distinct pleasure of sharing a special fashion night on the beach with my very best sista, Mindy. Mindy runs Tulum Living.com and so we went to represent Tulum Living and Tattooluum. It was so much fun! We first went to Blue Tulum to see the fashion runway designers show which honored our good friend Ariane Dutzi for her dutzi design bags which help the local community. We enjoyed wine while we took photos and posed for photos amongst friends. The music was great. Then we jetted off to Luna Maya where there was a flamenco fashion show. Now that was the bomb diggity! The one at Blue was so out of place for Tulum..as is it as an all inclusive....but Luna Maya was great as it had more of the Tulum feel with the hippy aura and fire dancing..wine was there too..oooo. I met some great people from Cancun who distribute expanders and piercings and also do suspension! I spent the whole night with Ivan, Saul and Pato getting excited about learning to suspend. So the Tattooluum teanm not only respresented at EcoGlamour but also have a new hobby to learn..suspension in the cenotes......updates to come soon!

Wedding specials special

Yes! We can make that special moment a permanent memory. We offer specials for brides and grooms to record their special event to take everywhere with them always. A tattoo is a landmark of a special time in your life. When getting married or on a honeymoon in beautiful Tulum, Mexico, why wouldn't you want to take home a permanent souvenir?? Also we give discounts for the wedding party and guests. A tattoo can mark any special time in your life so even if its not a wedding come on down and ink your special time.

Tattooluum in the Tattooed World

I have been reading more and more about the tattoo community and me likeys! Going to the expo the other week was amazing. There is no competition! People open their arms to you and bring you in like family. Reading the blogs on tattoos and tattooed people I find it very similar. Don't get me wrong I know there are the people who do not agree with tattoos... (see Karen Hudson's tattoo.about.com blog on Taylor C. http://tattoo.about.com/b/2010/03/07/thank-you-for-your-wisdom-taylor-c.htm worht the chuckle ;-P)

But as my very wise sister-in-law said to me today "Tattoos are the reflection of the soul." Right on, Sista! (Literally) Tattoos not only come into your life they will be there forever..not like some people! They are like your friends who curl up under your skin during hard times and are there to remind you that you handled it and got through it. They celebrate great times in your life and take you back to that event that was life changing.

And then there are the artists. These incredible entities who put your emotions and healing into a wordless (a picture is worth a thousand words) work of art that adorns your body and adores you. They can also bring about a miracle to cover any disaster or mistake that may have entered you skin..ie. coverups. To have a great tattoo artist in your life is beyond words like art....even better if he is your hubby(plus you get a good discount)! I am glad to be a part of the Tattoo World and look forward to delving deeper into this gathering of wiseones and not so normal ones who have the courage to express who they are with the knowing that there are Taylor C.s out there. Here's to you tattooed or not to find your place in the world and to find a way with or without tattoos to express your soul....Namaste

Tattooluum leaves its mark on the 2010 Monterrey International Tattoo Expo

WOW! What a weekend we had at the Monterrey Expo...we met so many great artists from the US and from Mexico. Olmo got his Olmo (Elm) tattoo finally from Daniel Walker..he rocks at trees..used to be a forester before tatting. Seeing Paul Booth, Goethe, Paola Maria, Pedro Alvarez and Bob Tyrrell work was amazing. Carla Daniela our new artist was well connected and introduced us to many. Back to Tulum for us now but we now bring the experience of scarification and microdermals to this walk of the beach. I think for sure Tattooluum put their mark on this expo....who's next???
