Huh, I had no idea that geishas were MAC cosmetics’ bread and butter. Tattooed by Rodney Raines at Ace Custom Tattoo in Charlotte, NC.

awww thats my calf! and just for the record she is applying russian red lipstick.
that’s cool. MAC-wearers now seem sorta like neo-urban geisha.
Mac is my favorite! Not sure about putting brand names on my skin, but it’s a nice tattoo.
i actually thought the same thing, the kind of people who buy such vibrant makeup like MAC and look so painted remind me of geisha as well
i love vibrantly colored tattoos. and on a tiny sidenote, i think it’s more along the lines of a chinese opera character than a geisha.
yep. definitely more chinese wayang than noh theatre.
kinda lame.
Its actually based off of a face chart from one of MAC’s earlier makeup lines but I can see why people would think of Chinese opera when they look at. I wanted a really avant garde makeup look for her instead of more traditional makeup.
I love MAC! I just wish I could afford it.
MAC products rock! Kinda expensive, but great quality and worth every penny. I would love to buy more of their products when I get more spare dollars. Bills over beauty. 🙁
Lovely tattoo, gen. Drop me a message on MSN, girlie! I miss you!
The artist did a good job on the geishas hair, it looks like old-style geisha wig hair. 🙂
Definately a fan of MAC geishas.:p
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Mac did all the makeup in Memoirs of a Geisha.
The only thing “kinda lame” is calling other people’s tattoos lame, especially when you know they’re reading the comments.
