Let’s meet 24-year-old Shayanna Janelle Jenkins, she happens to be girlfriend/fiancée of 23-year-old football player Aaron Hernandez. Jenkins man is a tight end for the New England Pats and the couple has been engaged as of November of 2012. Shayanna the eldest daughter of Jodi Jenkins from Bristol, CT has two sister Ontavia and Shaneah Jenkins (check her here) who allegedly was dating Odin Lloyd, the man found shot to death close to Aaron and Shayanna’s home.

That was also around the time when Shayanna “Shay” and Aaron welcomed their first baby and became parents to beautiful baby daughter, Avielle Janelle Hernandez, born on November 6, 2012! Which happens to be the same exact date of Aaron’s birthday. Parent and child sharing the same special day?! Isn’t that just the cutest thing? He even missed a game to be with his lovely girl and new bundle of joy!

Although his bad boy look makes him seem like a gangster from a rap video; in fact fatherhood is just something very meaningful for the young dad! We know him for talent but Shay’s boyfriend also likes to keep his reflections and life lessons tattooed to his skin. If it is to be, it is up to me, reads a large tattoo on his left forearm, a favorite saying of his late father, Dennis. Hernandez gave an interview around the time his daughter was born and addressed how he thought his behavior had to change:

Now, another one is looking up to me. I can’t just be young and reckless Aaron no more. I’m gonna try to do the right things, become a good father.

I’m sure Shay felt very proud of him right there hearing those words! Their story goes back to their high school years! Shayanna met the father of her daughter Aaron who is of Puerto Rican descent back in high school; they both graduated in 2007 from Bristol Central High School being high school sweethearts. She’s been there for him since his college football days while he played for the University of Florida.

The couple seems to be somehow involved in the investigation of a dead man who was found near Shay’s home with the NFL player but so far neither have been declared as suspects. The couple currently resides in North Attleboro, MA along with their baby girl.

.

My friends and I talk a lot about how we are going to parent our kids when they are teenagers. Yes, they are only 4 now. No, I do not believe we are over-preparing. We’re talking about teenagers here, people. It’s kill or be killed.

Typically, these conversations turn to the awful, terrible, idiotic things we did when we were teenagers. What would have been a fun get-to-know-you-better conversation before kids has turned into a sobering, head-shaking, aw-shit-mine-better-not kind of talk.

I did it all — drugs, alcohol, sex, riding on the roof of a car with a friend while the guys inside held our hands through the sunroof to keep us from falling off…………actually, it was more ME holding on to THEIR hands while THEY BOTH held on to my super hot friend. Ouch. I engaged in a fair share of risky behavior and somehow managed to stay alive. All the serial killers must have been home sharpening their knives those nights because I gave them plenty of opportunities in the early 2000s.

My kids aren’t old enough yet to have questions about drugs and alcohol, but they have already seen one of of my dumb young kid decisions — my tattoos. I have two: one on my hip done by a mostly blind one armed man in Glasgow, Scotland; and a tramp stamp done for my bisexual boyfriend who got me started smoking and cheated on me with a girl he met at church. What can I say, I like my life stories with a dash of ”what the……..??” to them.

The first time my daughter saw my tattoos, I told her they were bruises. I don’t know, dudes. She was two. Now that she is four, I have told her that they are pictures that never go away called tattoos. She of course, decided that she would like a tattoo as well. I told her that once she turned 18 she was welcome to do whatever she wanted to. And I mean that. Just please lord, let it be below the neck.

Her question about my tattoos was the first of what will be countless experiences being asked questions I not only don’t know HOW to answer but I don’t WANT to answer. The “where do babies come from” question is starting to get asked, and I always said that I would be straight forward and honest and tell them the truth. Well, guess whose kids think they started out as seeds that I then wished into my tummy? That’s right. THIS idiot’s kids. Just another promise I made myself before having kids that did a 180 after I had them (when I was pregnant I also said I would never buy plastic toys. Careful — you’re going to choke if you keep laughing that hard).

So my friends and I worry about what the heck we are going to do when our kids ask us if WE ever did XYZ when WE were teenagers. The experts say — tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but for the love of god you don’t have to tell them every little thing if they don’t ask about it (ix-nay on the aring-shay). And there have been studies showing that teens want to know the truth and that when they do it encourages them to be more responsible. To which I say, dur-hay. Think about it — wouldn’t you want to know about the time your mom dropped acid and thought she could fly?! I sure as heck would! (ps, Mom, if there is anything you want to share just drop me a line).

But really, who knows if what we did makes one iota of difference to our teenagers? Maybe being honest about my past will help because they will know that if I did it, then drugs and alcohol definitely don’t make you cool. To which I say, excellent. I just want them to make it through the horror show called the teenaged years alive and healthy and only lightly scarred. I know experimentation is going to happen, I just hope that they think I’m lame enough to not want to use my past as a role model. And I can proudly say that I am well on my way to accomplishing that.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to take my kids to the grocery store in a shirt with holes in it and sandals with socks. Sometimes they play the Miami Vice theme in the store, and oh, how I dance.

Bad Hebrew Tattoos Biography

This little gem was sent in by Amit, and is just too good to pass.

As the story goes, this girl wanted to write "I love XXX" (boyfriend's name) in Hebrew and tried to accomplish the task using Babylon translation software.

Well, if you read this site, you know where this is leading...

What does this Hebrew Tattoo read?
"Babylon is the world's leading dictionary and translation software"

Oh yeah, THAT bad.

Remember boys and girls, never use an automatic/online translator, and especially if you're translating a name. Sadly, this effort was doomed from the start.

Strength? You'll Need It!
Today's victim really did try. She even asked an Israeli friend to provide the correct translation for her Hebrew tattoo, but to no avail. Tattoos done in Hebrew just have a special way of always going wrong...

This Hebrew tattoo, which was discovered and sent in by Leor, is supposed to say "Lord give me strength". I have to admit, it is grammatically correct. Out poor victim made the mistake of trying to render it vertically, though, all by herself. Bad idea!

Below is how "Lord give me strength" is supposed to be written in Hebrew. They're the exact same words as in the tat. Can you spot what went wrong?

Mistake #1: This Hebrew tattoo is backwards. Unlike English, Hebrew is written right-to-left, so the rightmost letter should be on top, in a vertical tattoo.

Mistake #2: Letter Yod is not an apostrophe! Yod is the shortest letter, but it's still a letter, and as such, it deserves its own line when written vertically. In this tattoo, all Yods have to share their living space with other letters :(

Mistake #3: Some letters were replaced by other, similar looking letters. So you can very well read the word "Ten" (give) as "Chen" (grace), and you can read "Koach" (strength) as either "Noach" (comfy) or "Moach" (brain). Yeah, this tattoo could absolutely be read as "Lord give me brains".

Vertical Hebrew tattoos? Kids, don't do them!

Gnome In Natural Habitat
Sometimes, Hebrew tattoos can be all too funny. Take this cute scene, that was forwarded here by Reut, as a prime example:

The tattoo reads in Hebrew as "Gamad", which translates to Gnome.

Why did he do it? No idea! Most likely it's a misspelling, though there's always the possibility that this is a die-hard role-playing geek, taking his character one step too far. The photo shoot setting certainly fits!

There's Something Lacking...
Today's victim was going for a spiritual ring tattoo. She wanted "Mercy" tattooed in Hebrew on her finger, but I guess God had other plans...

There's just a tiny incorrectness in one of the Hebrew letters. A small lack of a line, and this tattoo spells not "Mercy" but "Lack" or "Absence".

See, Mercy in Hebrew is "Chesed", but turn the letter Dalet into a Resh, and you've ended up with "Cheser", which means something else entirely. I like how it is still a real Hebrew word, though.

Dalet and Resh are very similar, aren't they?

Luckily for this woman, her tattoo is very easy to fix. Just add a tiny protrusion to that Resh, and she's back in the righteousnesses business.

Now, this is how "Chesed", which means Mercy and also Grace in Hebrew, is written:

Statue Comes to (Misspelled) Life
This is a statue. It resides in The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and spells out Ahava (Love in Hebrew), somewhat artistically.

The design became famous, and can be found in Hebrew jewelry and tattoos all over. Incorrect to one degree or another, usually. In an older entry we saw this same design mangled beyond all recognition. In this one, you can tell what it's supposed to be, but it is still misspelled.

It doesn't spell out Ahava, but rather Achbach, which really means nothing in Hebrew.

See, many Hebrew letters are very similar in appearance. For example He, which produces the HA and the last A in Ahava, is quite similar to Chet, which makes a CH sound. The statue has borderline rendition of the letter He, but the tattoo totally crossed that border.

In the Hebrew language, every little stroke can turn your chosen letter into something else entirely.

Want your Hebrew "Ahava" (Love) statue-like tattoo correct? This is How you'd write it in proper Hebrew. It's really supposed to be all in one line, but we're being artistic, yeah?

The Daddygirl Has No Need For Grammar
Today we have a Hebrew tattoo of something unusual, the Daddygirl. I guess Daddygirls happen when men who have children undergo sex transformation?

Well, here's one of these rare creatures, boasting her trans-gendered fatherly pride, ink on flesh:

In reality, this victim was going for an innocent "Daddy's Little Girl" tattoo in Hebrew, but somehow lost the word "little", the proper grammar of a sentence, and the spaces too.

In fact, all that remains are the words "Girl" and "Daddy" mashed together, and so the Daddygirl is born!

Want a proper "Daddy's Little Girl" Hebrew translation for your tattoo? This is how it's supposed to be written:

Her Name was Lost in Rotation
When I first saw this tattoo, I thought it wasn't Hebrew writing at all. It looks like some weird script, Martian maybe?

The victim claims this Hebrew-like doodle to be her name, and on closer inspection I realized that it really was. It just so happened that when trying to render her tattoo vertically, some letters were rotated and some were not, creating this very strange result.

I never had to draw this particular chart before:

In any case, the Hebrew tattoo most likely says "Ebony Eve". Most likely, since aside from being mis-rotated, it's also slightly misspelled. So if you have another interpretation of this name, I'd love to hear it!

And this is how you would correctly write "Ebony Eve" in Hebrew. Ebony on the right, Eve is on the left.

My suggestion, when it comes to words which have letters of different height, is not to rotate it letter by letter. It just doesn't look nice.

Want your Hebrew tattoo to be vertical? Just turn the whole thing 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Like this:

Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

It's easy-anyone can do it (even teenagers, who, according to recent scientific tests, don't even have fully functional brains). You probably already have all the materials you need at your disposal, and best of all nothing shows true fortitude of character quite like learning to live with a bad decision.

Here's what you'll need:
1) Sewing needles, not too big and not too little. Get a bunch.
2) Thread (one spool, stolen from your roommate's sewing kit).
3) A pencil or some such shaped object (this will be the handle for your tattooing needle).
4) India ink-black liquid acrylic (you can use other colors too, but I'd suggest sticking with basic black for now).
5) A razor (if you're especially hairy)
6) A thin-tipped marker. 0.05mm Rapidographs work fine. But a regular pen works too; you just want something that marks skin fairly well.
7) Clean hands, relatively free from tremors, open wounds, or Parkinson's Disease.
8) A willingness to see things through to their conclusion.
9) Enough booze to keep things interesting.

To start with, assemble all your supplies on your work surface.

Wait, on second thought, let's include one more thing in the photo:

Being neat isn't required, but my OCD makes me have to arrange everything at right angles to everything else. Disregarding neatness, let me caution you about one thing: blood-borne disease.

Ask yourself before starting: Do I know this person I'm going to tattoo? Am I relatively certain that this person does not have a disease I do not want to contract (and vice-versa)?

There will be a little blood, so it's best to be cautious. Again, don't have any open wounds on your hands (or wear latex gloves like professionals do, you pussy). Just try your best to keep things clean. By which I mean: Wash. Wash your hands. Scrub them down. And oh yeah, for the love of god, use a new needle for each person getting tattooed, okay?

Then take the needles you plan on using (remember: a new needle for every person getting a tattoo) and put them in a pan filled with a bit of boiling water and boil the hell right out of them. Once they're boiled and relatively germ free, handle them carefully.

Oh man, I forgot one incredibly important component to successful home tattooing: music. Music sets the mood. If you choose your music carefully, you'll create the proper ambience for the evening's activity.

Necessary albums include (but are not limited to):
The Rolling Stones-Tattoo You (obvious choice)
The Rolling Stones-Let It Bleed (put this on halfway through the first tattoo)
Thin Lizzy-Black Rose (this dude from Belgium who's staying on my couch had never heard Thin Lizzy before, which obviously had to be corrected immediately. And plus, lots of people get rose tattoos. Speaking of which, why not go ahead and put on some Rose Tattoo?)

Okay, now we're going to move on to actually constructing your rig. Take one of the boiled needles and with a whole bunch of thread carefully attach it to your handle (pencil, paintbrush, etc.).

Don't go trying to insert the eye-end of the needle in the pencil's eraser; that just doesn't work. What you're trying to do is fasten the needle securely to the pencil-once it's on there, you don't want that needle to budge. Leaving off about 1/2 inch of the tip of the needle, wrap the remaining bit of it tightly to your handle. Wrap it over and over and over. Then keep winding because the thread needs to cover almost the entire needle, pretty much right up to the point.

This is where neatness counts. You don't want a big ball of thread rolled all willy-nilly around your needle dripping ink everywhere, so when wrapping just the needle (not the handle) only give it one or two layers of thread. Wrap everything except for the last 1/16th of an inch. Definitely don't leave anymore than 1/8th of an inch showing. The purpose of the thread is to hold the ink. When stabbing the needle repeatedly into someone's flesh, the thread needs to come into contact with the skin so that the ink can get in there. If you leave too much of the needle tip unwrapped, you'll have to stab really deep and nobody wants that. Seriously, I can't stress this enough: leave just a tiny bit of needle showing. You'll thank me later.

Once you've got that out of the way, you may want to disinfect the needle one more time before plunging it into anyone. If you're like me and don't own a hospital-grade autoclave, just use your lighter. Just remember to let the needle cool down before you get to work, otherwise you'll brand your friend instead of giving them a tattoo, and everyone knows that branding is retarded.

Doesn't it look like I'm about to smoke some crack in that second photo? Also, don't pay any attention to those finger tattoos, 'cause they're not homemade.

This is pretty much all you're going to need. Well, a couple of paper towels too. But that's it. Once your rig is finished, you'll need to decide on a tattoo. Get everyone together and start drawing. Remember, these are homemade tattoos and as such they will lack the finery of shop-bought tattoos. Unless you've got all the time in the world and a high tolerance for pain, steer clear of things like shading, coloring, straight lines, and realistic portraits. Keep the tattoo small, not only for practicality's sake but because nobody wants to see your full sleeve of pointillist nightmares.

So, ideas... keeping in mind the above caveats: go nuts. Seriously, make yourself a little masterpiece. The dumber the better. Dare your friends to get the worst tattoo you can imagine. Draw up a few pages of bad ideas. A good rule of thumb for homemade tattoos is that if everyone in the room laughs at the drawing, someone should probably get it. Also, another good rule is that if you tattoo someone, you have to suck it up and let them tattoo you afterwards.

Here are our ideas:

Jesse wanted either a cactus, a stegosaurus, or a dagger.

Nobody stepped up to the Herpes Heart, though.

My name is Evan Olin. I enjoy taking my classical art background and applying it to my tattoos. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design. My tattoos often take on a painterly/ realistic style. Some of my favorite subjects include: anything dark or horror related, wildlife/ animals, portraits, and anything else I can render in a realistic or illustrational way. My goal is to deliver one- of-a-kind tattoos that my customers can be proud to wear and show off for the rest of their lives.

I have been tattooing in several Rhode Island tattoo studios since 2003. I attended Rhode Island College, and hold a Master's Degree in Art Education. Shaping impressionable young minds since 1997, I also teach art at West Warwick High School. While I have experience tattooing in a wide variety of techniques, I feel my strength lies in my illustrative style, which fuses realism with inventive physics and questionable secondary lighting. Think Dr. Seuss meets John Audobon. Or Salvadore Dali sitting on Norman Rockwell’s lap.

Although I’ve been creating visual designs since my days with Crayola crayons and macaroni art, it took me a while to find out that skin was the canvas that allowed me to best display my distinctive and original perspective pieces. Throughout my schooling I cultivated my abilities in the creative arts, it wasn't until a few years back that I realized that my true passion lies in the art of tattooing and wasn't until 2011 when I could make it my profession. While I enjoy most styles of tattoo, from lettering and black work to bright and vibrant color pieces, my professional focus is on illustrative and animated perspective point-of-view imagery. I love to take an object and twist it, creating an unusual and dynamic perspective with the illusion of space and depth. By concentrating on line weight, light sources, and focal points, I can use perspective technique to create a completely original work of art. (And given some paste and construction paper, I can still make one bad-ass macaroni snowman.)

Into art since I was a little Rhode Island tyke, I've always read comics, studied art and watched a lot of movies. Mutants, monsters and all types of creatures fascinated me - Fast forward 20 some years, not much has changed. Taking 2 years of fine arts courses at Rhode Island College, and sharpening the focus to Illustration at the Art Institute of Boston definitely helped further my love for, and skills in art. After a few years of kicking around trying to find an apprenticeship, I landed in the right place in New Haven, CT - where I've been tattooing for the last 5 years professionally. Now, I'm bringing it back to RI, at Powerline Tattoo! I try to be versatile in my tattooing, working in full color, black and grey, or fusing the two.. Some of my favorite things to tattoo, are creepy critters, frogs, birds, trees, bio-mechanical/organics and just about anything illustrative! I'm heavily influenced by many different types of art, and try to combine parts of all of them into what I tattoo. I like to put my own little twist to everything I do, and try my best to exceed clients expectations!

<> I’ve always been drawing, but it wasn’t until college that I realized I was pretty effing good at it. I started off at Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota FL, bounced around to a few places, including Boston, and returned home to Rhode Island and graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design (Class of ’05 with Evan). I took the Fine Art Painting route for a little while, showing my oil paintings at local galleries and doing commissioned work. I didn’t actually get into tattooing until a few years after leaving school. I may have been a little late to the game, but I caught on pretty quick, and completed an apprenticeship. I learned a lot, but kind of went my own way with things; applying my painting and color technique and adding what some may call a softer, more feminine touch to my tattoos. I love realism, and very colorful subject matter, such as: flowers, pin-ups, animals, etc. Art Nouveau has recently been a huge influence on my work as well, and I tend to incorporate many of its elements in my work. I’m definitely a fan of soft realistic black and gray work, but my passion lies in color. I also enjoy pastry, candy, and baked goods (to paint , tattoo, and eat--its kind of my thing). Also, rollerskating and long walks on the beach at sunset…

Mike Boissoneault - View Tattoo Gallery - Email Artist

I've been tattooing locally in Rhode Island for nearly 10 years. I consider myself lucky enough to have been working with and learning from some of the top artists in the state.

I feel a tattoo should be clean, readable, and made to last. Because of that, I hope to give my clients a unique custom piece and a good tattoo experience.

Stylistically my work has an illustrative lean with elements from japanese tattooing,but I enjoy all styles from black and gray, bio mechanical, new school,etc.

You can find me at the studio every day except mondays and

I’m co-owner of PowerLine Tattoo with my husband, Evan. I am the business yin to his creative yang. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Foodservice Entrepreneurship, so use my business knowledge to manage PowerLine. I’ve been with Evan for several years, and share his passion for the art and am extremely knowledgeable about tattooing, though my artistic abilities lie in the kitchen. Working together at the shop allows Evan to focus on his art and the creative aspect of the shop, while I handle the “businessy” duties, along with keeping the shop impeccably clean, and always a comfortable and welcoming environment. It’s rare to walk into the shop and not be greeted by me. You’ll quickly learn that I’m totally devoted to the shop and most of all, our clients. Sometimes you just need a woman around to keep things in line ;)
