Derrick Rose in GQ Spread for May 2012 Issue

Derrick Rose plays ball of course, but he can play in the fashion field, too. Even though it's more than likely that GQ stylists styled Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, but he can dress himself quite well off-court.

Derrick has done a photo shoot for GQ Magazine for the May issue, and there are some cool looks here, except for that real tight outfit I just can't... uhh... mesh with. I don't know what one of the stylists were thinking... but it's whatever...

This is the one I DON'T like... too tight! The shirt is forgivable, but not the pants!

Cool shoot, Derrick could pass for Model....

Rihanna's New Collarbone 'CROSS' Tattoo!!

Rihanna has yet another one.

Sporting about at least 20 or so tattoos (correct me if I'm wrong), Rihanna has another tattoo, this time a small 'cross' on her collarbone. Has she found 'religion'? hmm... perhaps. All of Rihanna's tattoos are not jailhouse but are rather small and are deep in meaning, kind of like mine.

Sidenote: Tattoo artist is BANG BANG in New York

I also like Rihanna's tat and its placement because it can be hid under a necklace for fashion events and can be exposed at another time. On another note, check out the Ray-Bans. CLASSIC.

Photoshoot: Terry Richardson

Found more tattoos AKA 'body art', this time from Adam Levine, the top guy of Maroon 5 and judge on hit show 'The Voice.' Check it out:

BTW, 'jailhouse tats' are NOT body art; there's a difference #justsaying .

BODY ART: The Story Behind NY Giants' Devin Thomas's Tattoos

It's always so cool and interesting to see a story behind a tattoo or tattoos. In New York Giants' Devin Thomas's case, his BODY ART is a book! See below to see what they mean, in Devin's words:

The tats include a spartan, a Wolverine (name of the college team in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan) , a prayer that use to be located on his mom’s wall (he had it inked after she passed away) and a scene from ancient Egypt. He also had a Broken Heart and HK (Heartbreak kid) inked behind his ear after his heart was broken by a girl during his second year in the NFL, a cartoon warrior name Goku on his back (to protect him) as well as the words ‘Love, Live Life’ (to represent his key to happiness: “Love and then you’ll be able to live life”).

“Obviously, being in D.C., it was very stressful. After the season, I was ready to get to a needle.” He’s now, with the Giants team, happier than he’s ever been, he said, and so “I don’t have to express my anger so much.” The tattooing has slowed and is more subtle, but that’s not a precursor to the complete end of his inking.

TREY SONGZ's Tattoos In VMan Magazine Photo Shoot

I like tattoos. I. WANT. MORE. But I actually can't have too many because I'm a model. I have seven, which is all I need, but I need an EIGHTH one. Check out Trey Songz tattoos in the latest VMAN Magazine photo shoot (above).

I like the symmetrical design of the two ladies on Trey's back, and the nature coming forth through leaves and feathers on Trey's shoulders; there's also the signature scripture on Trey's left pec as well as various other tats. His facial expression and structure is very serene and at the same time speaks volumes. The half-wing medallion ties in very well with the symmetrical back tattoo. Accessories are simplistic.

Great job to the photographer and amazing aura this gives off.

DRAKE Rocks Aaliyah Tattoo On His Back... Hmm.

DRAKE is the dude on the right of this photo.

Check his new AALIYAH tattoo on his mid-left side of his back. Wow... that's some kinda love to get a woman's face tattoo on a guy's back... especially Aaliyah, who had passed years ago.

I wonder what was Drake's motive, but anyway a good tattoo is good art (coincides with FASHION, hence Art is Fashion).

Fash, Crash, and Burn: The Girl With The 'DRAKE' Tattoo On Her Forehead

Chris Brown, Drake, and just about everybody in the tattoo world would DISPROVE of this DUMB ISH, myself included.

About 2 weeks ago (or so), this crazy girl went to the tattoo parlor and requested that 'DRAKE' be tattooed on her forehead. I wonder how did that tattoo artist react to that, and did this guy have some COUTH to tell her that he would not damage his TATTOO REP by doing this??

Well needless to say from the pic above, the girl (SHAVED EYEBROWS AND ALL) had the Drake tattoo done.

Word got out FAST, and Drake was upset and went INNNNN on video to all parties involved! He looks funny being all mad, though. But anyway, the pic above ends up on my FASH, CRASH, AND BURN category.

Take a look at this dumb tat again:

...and AGAIN...

Chris Brown Sports New 'Questionable' Tattoo On Back Of His Neck

Check out CHRIS BROWN's new tattoos!

My first post on Chris Brown's tattoos (about a year ago) was about his tattoo sleeves. Now this one is on his new NECK TATTOOS!

I really got to find out the meaning of the feathers on Chris's neck. Do I like them? NO. Would Chris care? NO. But do Chris Brown and I like tattoos? YES! (I have 7)

Yes, tattoos are ART and a part of FASHION, too. And it IS true that Chris has some of the best tats in the game.
