Tattoo Tuesday: 26th June 2012 [Tattooed Bride Blog]

My “Mirror Of Erised”

Yes, That is me in a work uniform! I thought I would start a regular post to share your, as readers, tattoos on a Tuesday! I’ll start off my posting my favourite one on my 3/4 sleeve that I got in January of 2011 (The heart was from May 2010) by friend Laura at Legends Tattoo Studio in my town of Hindley.

For those who don’t know, I am a HUGE Harry Potter geek. Seriously.. Every Christmas/holiday get together, my cousins & I play the special edition of “Scene It?”. I know, we’re geeks. The Mirror Of Erised, for those who have never read/seen the series, is a mythical object. When you stand in front of it, shows the “deepest and most desperate desire of one’s heart.” (Hence why I had it tattooed around my heart).

It is said that on the mirror, reads the inscription: “Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi” which when reversed and correctly spaced reads “I show not your face but your heart’s desire“.  The Mirror shows the greatest desire of the one looking into it upon its surface, often with them having achieved some goal or ambition. However, since each person is unique, only they can see it from their point of view.

You should watch The Philosopher’s Stone if you wish to see it in action! (*Note* The tattoo is just a representation of the mythical object, which is why it is oval rather than rectangular)

I would LOVE to hear your tattoo stories! Feel free to email them in to marrymeink@gmail.com or using the Contact Me page at the top. I look forward to hearing your tattoo stories!

A French Revolution! Haywood Jones Love Shoot Winners: Lottie & Stan [Tattooed Bride Blog]

Posted on June 19, 2012 | 8 comments

Remember back in January when I held this competition on the Marry Me Ink blog with Bethan of Haywood Jones Photography as a starter for 2012? Well, if not, I held a competition for a couple to win a wonderful love shoot with the amazing Bethan.

HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF LOTTI AND STAN WHO LOOK AMAZING!

Lotti and Stan won with the most votes on their mood board entry which looked a bit like this:

Amazing right?! They won with 336 votes! You all sure loved them! 

“My name is Lotti and I am marrying Stan in August of this year after being together for 6 years. We currently live in Manchester although we’re both originally from Essex.
I’m really into my tattoos- I have work by Nick Horn at Good Times tattoo, Rachel McCarthy of Modern Body Art, Diego and Sol Azaldegui of MVL tattoo studio, Leeds to name a few. Stan’s not one for tattoos himself but he’s always appreciated my passion.

“Our wedding theme is French revolution/Marie Antoinette with a powder blue and white colour scheme (like Wedgewood china). For the wedding we thought it would be more appropriate to keep everything more toned down and elegant- it would be wonderful however to do a with the same theme however where we could be more theatrical, incorporate brighter colours and more modern elements and have fun with it- I’m thinking cupcakes being thrown around, balloons and candyfloss hair!! 

“I also really like cutesy Japanese sweet/gothic Lolita style- some of which has filtered through to Hong Kong where my other half’s family originates from and where we visited last year. I love Hong Kong- it’s really inspiring- so it would be great to incorporate this aspect to things aswell. It would be great to have some pictures of us having fun and letting off some steam before the wedding day. We have our fingers crossed!“

Aren’t they the cutest couple? I love how they both went all out and both looked amazing! Getting tweets before and after the shoot was exciting too! 
“So I saw some photo’s for the @MarryMeInk blog taken by @HaywoodJones, they were pretty awesome“

I for one cannot WAIT to see their wedding post August, I’ll be sure to keep you updated! Do leave the beautiful couple some love and HUGE thanks to lovely Bethan of Haywood Jones Photography for holding the competition – she is amazing!
