1333 Connecticut Ave.

If you want to get inked and stay in Northwest, there’s only one tattoo parlor worth visiting.

Fatty’s Tattoos & Piercings is famous for its top-notch customer service, body art, jewelry selection and sterile needles. The clean and well-lit tattoo joint has been doing business in the District for more than two decades.

The closest Fatty’s location is in Dupont Circle between night club Kabin and Italian restaurant Otello. Psychedelic fantasy characters and depictions of Ganesha decorate the parlor’s yellow walls, and customers can wait in comfortable black leather chairs. You will get pierced or inked in one of a few smaller rooms.

You may even have a celebrity sighting while you’re waiting to get inked. D.C. Council member and GW Law School professor Mary Cheh received a District flag on her ankle from the H Street Fatty’s location earlier this year.

Most piercings cost $50 plus the price of jewelry. The cost of tattoos ranges from $70 for simple pieces to $175 per hour for tattoos that take hours to draw. Though its prices are a little steep compared to joints outside of D.C., Fatty’s is undoubtedly the cleanest store around, and all of its jewelry is approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials. They accept credit cards but prefer cash.

Fatty’s accepts walk-ins from 12:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day, but they recommend appointments for intricate or large tattoos.

Celebs & Entertainment

​James Corden came up with the ​genius​ idea of playing tattoo roulette with One Direction last night on ​The Late, Late Show. In case you’re not familiar with the game, the boys had to choose from five boxes at random and the one that chose the box with the word “tattoo” inside it, had to, well, get a tattoo on live television. And what’s worse is the tattoo would have to be of the Late, Late Show‘s logo!

Obviously, when the game was proposed, there were a mixture of reactions from everyone involved, which can be summarized very quickly:

​Niall:​ Noooooo. I can’t get my first tattoo on live TV! *shakes uncontrollably from fear*

​Harry:​ Who cares? Have you seen the butterfly tattoo on my stomach?

Louis: No biggie. I already have a bunch of dumb tattoos.

Liam: I LAUGH in the face of tattoo guns!

More From Seventeen

​James​ (the honorary fifth member for the sake of the game): NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

As the boys revealed what was in the boxes they picked, the anticipation was high, but it seemed fated that Harry would pick the “tattoo” box. He even seemed to know what was coming in the split second before he opened it (because Harry’s luck is pretty bad in situations such as these).

Watch the video now to see Harry lose tattoo roulette and get an ugly Late, Late Show tattoo right before your eyes as the rest of the 1D boys look on.

At least he was a good sport about it! And TBH, if anyone can pull of that tattoo, it’s definitely Harry Styles.

Brad Pitt Debuts Large New Tattoo In Honor of Angelina & the Kids | tooFab.com

July 18, 2015 6:30 AM

Brad Pitt is trying to catch up with his wife when it comes to tattoos!

The actor was spotted out in Los Angeles this week sporting some brand new ink on his forearm — and it’s definitely got something to do with his large, blended family.

The piece features a two-column chart, one side with the letter “A” at the top and the other with the letters “M,” “P” and “Z.” While he hasn’t spoken out about the tattoo yet, many are speculating that the “A” is for Angelina, while the three other letters represent Maddox, Pax and Zahara.

It’s clear there are additional letters after the “Z,” so we can only assume Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne have some representation on there as well.

Pitt is no stranger to tattoos. He has one in honor of the largest sequoia, another of Angelina’s birthday on his hip and a poem from Jalal ad-Din Rumi on his arm reading “There exists a field, beyond all notions of right and wrong. I will meet you there.”

He also has an outline of Otzi the Iceman on his arm and some drawings on his back that Jolie drew on him one night in Davos, Switzerland.

“He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like,” Jolie revealed back in 2008.

Jolie herself is also known for her ink, including the coordinates of Pitt and their children’s birthplaces.

What do you think of the new tattoo? See more inked up stars in the gallery above!

Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby shows off Mitch tattoo & sunkissed skin

Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby gave fans a closer look at the tattoo she recently had done in a tribute to boyfriend Mitch Jenkins.

Earlier this year, Charlotte rekindled her romance with former flame Mitch and it seems this time round their relationship is going from strength to strength.

So much so, that the brave Geordie even got a new inking dedicated to her beau etched onto her skin. In her latest Instagram post, Char gave her followers a better look at the tattoo, sitting pretty just above her elbow.

In her new snap, a beautifully bronzed Charlotte can be seen posing for the camera. Leaning on her arm that is home to her new body ink, the 24-year-old is all smiles as she sits with the arrow design – featuring Mitch’s initial – firmly on display.

Despite having said she regrets getting the tattoo, Char definitely hasn’t had second thoughts about getting back together with Mitch.

Gushing about her other half last month, Charlotte insisted she will love Mitch “forever”, explaining that he is her lobster.

She said: “Mitch is my soul mate. I do feel like he may be my lobster. He’s my best friend. I’ll love him forever.”

Charlotte’s latest selfie comes as she is currently holidaying in Cape Verde with Sophie Kasaei and Holly Hagan.

And while you may have thought the girls would be on a wild week away, it seems they have ditched the jagerbombs for workouts on the beach, hikes along the seafront and relaxing evenings in the spa instead.

Enjoying her time in the sunshine a little too much, Charlotte revealed a nasty-looking sunburn on her face earlier this week. But after some much needed TLC it seems her sun-scorched skin has finally settled and she’s now sporting a much healthier-looking golden glow.

Ahead of her flight back home tomorrow, the starlet tweeted: “Last day in paradise don’t wanna leave @TheResortGroup this place has been beautiful start to finish #MeliaDunas.”

Oh, we so wouldn’t want to leave either!
