Shooting Fantasy Photos With A Green Screen Program

Green Screen Photography is gaining more and more in renown, particularly among small photography terraces that wish to bring something new and leading edge to their business - something that the enormous corporate photography residences do not even trouble with. Green screening, often referred to as chroma keying, is often the perfect edge that a small studio can use to blow the competition out of the water. But to go a step further, concentrating on the fantasy photography niche with a good green screen program can also separate you from the massive photography crowd.
To begin with, there is the fantasy niche known as'sword and sorcery'. Some examples include the role playing game'Dungeons And Dragons' and stories such as the'Lord Of The Rings'. To take these kinds of pictures, shoot the customer in full garb ( patois for period costume ) in front of the green screen, holding the weapon of their choice,eg a sabre, bow and arrow, or wand. Then, use digital backgrounds such as stunning nature scenes and old architecture ( particularly castles ) Then get your green screen program out and work your magic from there. Tip : If the customer wants to have that soft paranormal look, take a bit of nylon and strap it to your camera lens with an elastic tie. Instant softness and puzzle added.
Another well-liked fantasy niche is that of sci-fi. The more apparent of this genre would be'Star Trek','Star Wars' and'Babylon Five'. However [*COMMA] this category also includes'Dr. Who' ( a time and inter-dimensional show ) and steam punk ( Victorian time running today's technology with steam ). Within of this niche there are thousands of cos-players ( those that enjoy putting on a costume whenever they can ) who adore having their picture taken. Some ideas for amazing pictures would be : For space travel - like Star Trek - assume the observation deck ( a large window with a star field behind it ) or Ten-Forward cantina ( shoot a modern bar for the background ). For steam punk, choose interiors of old Victorian houses.
A niche that is regularly mixed in with these two previous ones, yet also deserves it's own class, is that of fairy tales. These are the footage of fairy people and other delicate creatures. For these use mystical landscapes that give a feeling of mystery with just a hint of mischief in store. However [*COMMA] don't think that fairy tales are only for small children, nor just for cos-players. Another group of people who love these types of pictures are female high school seniors. Consider shooting their portrait with them in their promenade dress, but then placing them in this mystical land. This guarantees you provide them with instant sorcery and joyful memories.
Eventually, the last niche which can fit inside of all of these, yet is also all by itself, is that known as Anime and video game cos-play. For these kinds of photos, look into plenty of Asian inspired locations ( both interior and exterior ) as well as decrepid locations such as an old warehouse or the remains of an ancient civilization.
Overall the thing to remember when shooting a fantasy photo is that irrespective of how strange or outlandish the costume might be and no matter where in the world these characters should be, as long as you can make the picture look believable to the customer, you'll have repeat business for years to come. It is very easy to make your pictures look plausible with a green screen program.

What Makes The Best Online Games Popular?

Three of the most popular online games out there, Chuzzle, Jewel Quest and Fairies, may appear to be quite different, but in reality, share a very similar game architecture and strategy component. What's different? They all have a unique theme and visual appearance. With Chuzzle, it's the cute little fuzzy characters. With Jewel Quest, it's all about turning sand into gold, and with Fairies, its rescuing the whimsical and hunted fairy ladies. All appealing, and all extremely addictive!
So what are these games really all about?
Chuzzle
This relatively new and extremely fun puzzle game features rows of fuzzy "Chuzzles" that you must drag up and down, and left and right, to match a variety of colors. Once you do, the Chuzzles will pop in dramatic fashion and return to their little test-tube home. Choose from four play modes: Zen mode, Speed mode, Classic Chuzzle and Mind Bendex mode. It also features two difficulty levels.
If you're good, and make a high level of Chuzzle color matches, you get to go on to the next level where the game gets tougher, the Chuzzle locks come more frequently. But there's an upside - the bonuses get higher.
So what's the verdict on Chuzzle? It's a super fun game with non-stop action and lots of exciting pops! If you haven't tried it, give it a whirl!
Jewel Quest
Like Chuzzle, the object of Jewel Quest from iWin is to score as many points as possible by matching items and turning sand to gold. However, with this game, there are six different items that need to be lined up horizontally or vertically in groups of 3 or more. Once you do, you have a match! What happens then? The matched items are removed and new items will fall into the empty spaces from the top of the board.
A few key points to keep in mind with Jewel Quest:
- Making moves in rapid succession will give you a higher score.
- Matching both items that you swap and in multiple directions can result in the best chain reactions.
- Matching items towards the bottom of the board gives more opportunity for chain reactions.
- The most difficult spaces to turn into gold are the four corner spaces.
Your Jewel Quest journal will help give you the wisdom of the ancient scripts and assist you in discovering the fabled Tonatiuh - The Temple of the Fifth Sun. And it will also give you hours and hours of fun!
Fairies
Have you ever been to a Renaissance Fair? Well then, perhaps you will enjoy Fairies. This appealing online game takes you to a place of fabled legends and magical reality. You become the almighty and powerful wizard, given the rare chance to rescue the troubled group of fairies who have been captured by an evil force.
Again, like Chuzzle and Jewel Quest, you'll see the similarities. But, with its whimsical, other-world feel, it's more different than alike. With Fairies, you are seemingly transported to this other world and asked to be the hero. The question is, will you save the troubled fairies? And how many will you save? If you complete the hundred individual levels, you'll be sure to restore balance to their world and have a ton of fun in the process!
So, what specifically do these great games have in common?
They are all classic match-style games. Simply put, your job is to find the commonality between the individual pieces, and put them together. Why is this basic premise so mentally stimulating? Because our brains are conditioned this way in the first place. It's one of the key qualities our mental faculties possess to help us make sense of the world. Grouping things together into their rightful places is an important skill to use - and get good at. Think about it: when you're putting groceries away, what are you doing? When you plan your Saturday schedule with the kids, what are you doing? When you're deciding what to wear in the morning, how are you going about it? That's right - you are putting things together in logical places, in logical order or the way you think things will compliment other things.
The popularity of these games continues. Other games like Super Collapse III have similar game play, and with the third edition to the Super Collapse series coming out, these games continue to earn the interest and dedication of game playing fans.
Why are Chuzzle, Jewel Quest and Fairies so fun?
Charming graphics, simple strategy, catchy music and they relax and stimulate your mind at the same time. A great escape!

Various types of collectible bogie figurines and their amount to collectors

A very popular collector's item among figurine enthusiasts is the fairy figure. Many people enjoy fairies collectibles and even purchase fairy and fantasy statues designed by specific artists. Fairies are a trend that has no end in sight.
The most widely known fairy figure sculptor is Jasmine Becket-Griffith. Jasmine has created hundreds of fairy figurines over the past few years, and several of the fairies figurines made by her are part of limited collections that sell out quickly. The overall theme of her work is always fairies or mythical creatures – even with the work she has done for Disney.  
The beauty and detail of fairy figurines are astounding, especially those of Jasmine Becket-Griffith. The intricate details make the statues come alive so that you forget that fairies are simply mythical creatures. Fairies collectibles get fantasy collectors lost in a world of magic and far-off possibilities, which is probably why they appeal to so many people.  Also, fairies are just plain fun to collect.
Fairies collectibles hold a lot of intrinsic value among their fans. Like with any collectible item, fairy statues must stay in mint condition to remain valuable. Most collectors keep their fairy collectibles in a sealed case or on a protected shelf for proper display and to keep dust, moisture, and other irritants off the collectibles. With the current popularity of fairies, these little statues may hold extensive value in the future, so proper care is very important.  
There are many online destinations to shop for fairy collectibles at your leisure. Fairy items make great gifts for all sorts of special occasions, or even for no reason at all. Most fantasy collectors of mythical creatures such as fairies, dragons, and so on shop for their collectibles online because the prices and selection are so much better than they can find locally.   
If there is a fairy or dragon collector in your life who loves fantasy statues and other fantasy collector memorabilia, remember that the selection of colors, scenes, types, and designs is almost endless online. You are bound to find what you are looking for at a price that is affordable.

La Fee Bohemian (lack of) Louche

Well here we got La Fee Bohemian absinth. Ok this really shouldnt be marketed as an absinthe because it doesnt have much in common with a traditional absinthe, I guess thats why its absinth. This bottle is 70% abv. with scents of fennel, grande wormwood, mint, and alcohol. This absinth does not louche, comparable to most Czech absinths, this is because it is made with much less or even no anise. Tasting notes: Mint, fennel, wormwood, and not much else. A lot of people call Czech absinth mouthwash, I dont think it tastes much like mouthwash-not minty enough, but it definatly dont taste like absinthe. Now that being said as an absinthe taste wise it is a horrible absinthe, now on a drink on its own its actually not that bad the flavors of mint and fennel on the forefront and a wormwood finish isnt bad, I think it finishes rather well, I like this better without sugar.

L'Eiffel Bistrot & Creperie, South Barrington, IL - Absinthe

www.chicagobuffets.com Preparation of Absinthe at L'Eiffel Bistrot & Creperie in South Barrington, IL Absinthe is traditionally a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV) beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, also called wormwood. Absinthe has a characteristic natural green color but can also be colorless. It is often called "the Green Fairy". Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a liquor. Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a high proof but is normally diluted with water when it is consumed. Traditionally, absinthe is prepared by placing a sugar cube on top of a specially designed slotted spoon and then placing the spoon on the glass which has been filled with a shot of absinthe. Ice-cold water then is poured or dripped over the sugar cube so that the water is slowly and evenly displaced into the absinthe until the drink is diluted to a ratio between 3 and 5:1. During this process, the components that are not soluble in water (mainly those from anise, fennel, and star anise) come out of solution and cloud the drink. The resulting milky opalescence is called the louche. The addition of water is important because it causes the herbs to "blossom" and brings out many of the flavors originally over-powered by the anise. Video by Todor Krecu www.krecu.com

Rieg - The Absynth Ritual

Rieg's creative idea behind The Absynth Ritual album was inspired by the fact that the "Absynth" word is very like the word "Absinth". With a little fantasy, the Absynth word relates to both synthesizers and Absinth, which is an alcoholic drink with some special attributes to it. Some of the artists and authors around a century ago, -"the bohemians" used a lot of the trendy Absinth drink at the time (which still can be bought in some countries). However, it was also believed that long time use of Absinth could lead to excentrism and madness. The Absinth color is normally green and when water blends with Absinth (as part of the Absinth Ritual), the visual, ghostly effect in the glass is called the Green Fairy. So Rieg have used the Absinth and all around it as themes for the music in this album. The Green Fairy is a relatively light tune illustrating happy fairies, flying and dancing in the absynth g... -sorry, absinth glass. The Absynth tune starts out quietly as from a harmonic and peaceful soul, but ends up more wild (as from a soul affected by long time use of "Absinth"). Daughters of Doom, is kind of a musical journey, where these daughters (green fairies) first was sent away and doomed, but later was rescued and could return home. This piece is kind of classical in style, blended with electronic music and new age style style. The Absynth Ritual is just a honor to the Absinth Ritual, which is a special ritual for making this drink. Some of this can be seen on the ...

THE GREEN FAIRY (THE ABSINTHE THEME SONG) SWAGGER LIKE US REMIX TI

Absinthe is traditionally a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-75% ABV) beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, also called wormwood. Absinthe has a characteristic natural green colour but can also be colourless. It is often called "the Green Fairy". Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a liquor.[1] Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a high proof but is normally diluted with water when it is drunk. Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious "bad men" of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy. Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug.[2] The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was ...

Tinkerbell Outfit - Bring the Magic Home With a Tinkerbell Fairy Costume

Dressing up isn't just for the kids anymore. These days, grownups are just as serious about wearing costumes and having a good time as any youngster is. No matter how old you are, a Tinkerbell outfit will make you look enchanting and delightful, whether you are going to a festival or a costume party.

Tinkerbell is the sweet and cheery character from Peter Pan that has captured the hearts and minds of little girls everywhere. For decades, this character has adorned shirts, books, backpacks and every kind of merchandise imaginable. A Tinkerbell fairy costume is just the thing to complete your little girl's collection.

Whether you are buying a Tinkerbell outfit for a young girl or yourself, you can find every size imaginable. Big, beautiful fairy wings make you feel like you are lighter than air. What female doesn't want to feel like a princess? Be the belle of the ball in your house or at an upcoming costume party. There are several variations on the Tinkerbell outfit and are all age appropriate.

The light green body suit comes in several different fabrics, all of highly breathable material. Some are shiny and covered in glitter and are also available in crushed velvet as well as several other cotton blends. There are a few different styles for both children and adults. You can choose from a separate body suit and skirt to go on top or two pieces that are sown together.

You can also select from a sheer skirt, a white skirt or a skirt that matches the green body suit. Many of the Tinkerbell outfits also come with a pink or white sash. Big, beautiful fairy wings make the ensemble complete, for playing make believe at home, in the park or at a fancy party. Beautiful wings are lightweight and decorated with beautiful sequins and beads.

The Tinkerbell outfit can be worn with or without tights or pantyhose. Either white or nude hosiery can be purchased separately and can add another dimension to the outfit if you so desire. However, it is not necessary to wear hose to complete the beautiful costume!

If you are looking for footwear to go with your Tinkerbell outfit, why not wear pink ballet slippers? White ballet style slippers also look great and are incredibly comfortable. If you are purchasing a beautiful fairy costume for yourself, you can easily dress up your outfit by wearing high heeled sandals in pink, white, gold, silver or matching green and create a playful, sexy look.

If you want to look like Tink, pull your hair up in a ponytail or bun on top of your head and wear sparkly ribbons and barrettes to make it even prettier. Try using glitter body spray or glitter gel to enhance your shine. The ultimate in cute and playful, quirky and sweet, a Tinkerbell outfit will make girls of any age feel like anything is possible. No Tinkerbell fairy costume is complete without a magic wand for you or your little one to spread fairy dust and fun wherever you go.

Fairy Figurines For Collecting

I have recently started collecting Fairy figurines with my grand daughter. I have always collected dragon figurines, but I don't think that would be something she likes very much. It all started with the new movie from Walt Disney Tinker Bell, she really likes the characters and the fairy wings. Yes she has a fairy outfit she wears every day around the house.

There are so many Fairy figurines to choose from, they come in all sizes and style and price range for any budget. The cheapest figurines of fairies and angels are those made of resin, but they still look really elegant. You can also get fairy figurines made of porcelain, crystal and pewter. It does not matter what your preference if when you collect fairy figurines Each one is a work of art.

A porcelain fairy doll is the perfect gift for a little girl or a young lady. This would be something that she will treasure for a lifetime. It is easy to tell the difference between angel and fairy figurines due to most angels are always white, whereas the fairies are usually in various different colors.

A graceful fantasy fairy figurine with butterfly wings is one of the more elegant fairy figurines that you can buy. Many people love fairies displayed with the moon. The idea behind this is that the spirit of the butterfly lives on through the figurine that you have displayed in your home.

Miniature fairy figurines make the perfect cake topper for birthday cakes as a beautiful center piece. Browse the catalog of online retailers just to see all the different figurines of fairies and that are available for you to purchase. No doubt you will want to buy all of them at once.

Absinthe La Bleue Clandestine Louche Video

Switzerland is often considered as the birthplace of Absinthe. In the Valley Val de Travers in the Swiss Jura the Pernod distillery was located and now, almost 100 years after the prohibition, the Green Fairy has returned. The Valley is known for its various clandestine Absinthes which were produced by bootleggers in the Swiss Jura during the Absinthe Prohibition. These Absinthes are known under the name La Bleue. In comparison to commercialized Absinthes, La Bleues are produced with only the finest herbs, grown by local farmers. They are distilled using traditional artisan methods, and colouring or any artificial additives would never find its way into a genuine La Bleue. Sipping this very special elixir is a sensory experience, the scent of honey and flowers, and the complexity of the first sip introduces you into a fascinating world of taste. The finest quality herbs guarantee an inspiration you will never forget. This Absinthe is available at ALANDIA: www.alandia.de

How to Create a Pink Fairy Costume For Your Toddler - Tips From an Expert Designer

There is nothing more adorable than seeing your little daughter in a cute and elegant dress. Wearing a pink mini dress, with some nice accessories, she will resemble the sweetest ballerina.

Let your designer side take over, and create a nice toddler fairy costume for your little daughter. For a start, you will need a pink top, which has shoulder straps. Nothing too complicated, just a simple top, which you will decorate and transform into a magical fairy top.

Start by adding glitter to this pink top. You will sew one layer of pink sequin beads along the shoulder straps, and draw a nice pattern at the chest. This shape can be a beautiful rose for example. When you are ready drawing it, you will start filling it in with the sparkling beads. This is how you transformed a plain little pink top into an elegant and stylish fairy ballerina top for your daughter.

Next, you will need to create the skirt. For this, you will need sheer nylon to create a few layers. Start by sewing the layers to the waistline trim of the top, and create a nice mini skirt. Do not worry if the skirt is see- through, because she will wear the toddler fairy costume with pink leggings or tights.

You have just created a sweet ballerina dress that is pink, glowing, and glittering. Your little darling will wear the toddler fairy costume very proudly, and then you will forget about all the effort you have taken to design it yourself.

From pink lace, you will design two sleevelets. This is very easy, all you need to do is to cut two sheets of lace and sew them together in a cylindrical shape. Add some elastic bands at both ends, and that is all. Make sure you choose a very fine lace, which is embroidered, so that you will achieve a unique visual effect with them.

Now, you need to take care about the final additions. The toddler fairy costume you have just created will perfectly match with a pair of nice pink leggings or even tights for children. In addition, you will need to purchase a pair of ballerina style shoes, which are either silvery or pink. Fairy pouch and fairy wings are needed too, but only if you would like her to wear them. Style her wonderful hair in a nice ballerina bun, which you will wrap with a nice satin band.

A Fairy Princess Party Menu with One Great Drink Recipe!

The Fairy Princess theme is a great way to make your little girl or that special woman in your life feel like a real magical princess. You'll find that the menu for this party can be both elegant and magical to fit the bill of the theme. Just make sure you have plenty of paper plates for everyone.

A Fairy Princess party is just the place for a light and airy party menu. Start everyone off with some iced Almond Ambrosia Tea. Then you can snack on Strawberry Meringue Bowls with Whipped Cream on top. After that serve up your main course of Fried Chicken Salad Wraps. These are really easy to make if you've ever made chicken salad before, simply use fried or batter chicken pieces this time.

An Almond Ambrosia Tea will add a unique flavor to your Fairy Princess party. You'll need; Almond oil or flavoring, Orange Pekoe Tea bags, and Cherry flavored Syrup. Brew up your Orange Pekoe and place in a pitcher to cool. Mix in about 4 to 5 drops of Almond oil and one or two dashes of cherry flavoring in to the tea. Add a bunch of ice cubes and let sit in the fridge until the Fairy Princess party starts.

Now that you have the greatest menu and a perfect cooling drink for your Fairy Princess party double check to make sure you have enough supplies on hand. You'll need paper goods like paper plates, cups, napkins and a tablecloth or two to match the party theme. These supplies are also very convenient because they make for easy clean up at your party. It's a safe bet to make sure you have at least two plates for everyone at the party, since people tend to throw their first one away and then decide they want more to eat. Get along and have a great Fairy Princess party.

Plus Size Dark Fairy Costume - 3 Amazing Ways to Make Your Costume a Halloween Success

The dark fairy costume - is portrayed in exactly how the words are written. The word "Dark", meaning without light, bad or evil. The word "Fairy" symbolizing spirituality and a magical presence. These two words together mean a fairy who has fallen from grace. She is the exact opposite of a good fairy. If you are going to wear a this kind of costume, then it might be beneficial to understand how you can fit the dark character.

Understanding the darkness that lives deep with the soul of the dark fairy is crucial to behaving like one. These are creatures that hate those that love peace and harmony. They steal souls and may haunt a family for generations. It was during a time of enchantment when the a group of fairies fell from grace. Their pursuit of evil magic made them into the creatures they are today.

To wear a dark fairy costume it means to look angry, old, and a creature that is wasting away from the evil eating at their soul. A fairy costume can come in different styles. Not all are as dark as I made this one out to be. Yet if you want to portray the traditional fairy look, then wearing this kind of costume as described in this article will be crucial to making it pop.

1) Make up

A dark fairy needs to have the right make up. Anything like zombie make up or vampire make up will do. Dark fairies look old, unclean, without life, and very thin. At times they almost look like skeletons. Put a bit of dark makeup on your face. But don't over do it. You don't want to look dead. You want to look dirty and tired. Add some wrinkles to enhance the look.

2) Shoes

Shoes that are the color black are perfect for this costume. The shoes have to be open toe, flat without heel. To make the shoe look old and worn, put a little shoe polish smug on it and add material to give it a torn look.

3) Hair

Finally you are going to want to fix your hair in a disorganized state. A bad fairy is always in chaos, they are never completely satisfied with anything. Nor can they rest without causing mischief. Dark fairies are not beautiful and do not care about their looks.

The criteria discussed this article are just a few things that can help you create the perfect Halloween costume. Something that you might keep in mind is, the this fairy has a wail. This wail is often heard when someone dies. If you can practice a good wail, you will not only pull off a great costume but also scare a few people.

Butterfly Fairy Tattoo Designs - A Beautiful Tattoo Design

While men are usually more associated with tattoos then women are, more women than ever are getting tattoos and getting creative with their newest ink designs. Butterfly fairy tattoo designs are a popular design among women and they are becoming very common.

There are many reasons why butterfly fairy tattoo designs are a great choice for your first tattoo if you are a woman. Among the most popular design choices for women, I personally believe that this design is one of the best.

Many people think that tattoos are big and attract a lot of attention. This is not necessarily true, they can be very small if you would like and you can control when they are showing. Many women like ankle tattoos because they are easily concealed as well as easy to show off.

The thought of tattoos being viewed as a negative thing by others scares many people out of getting one and this is not right. Tattoos are a very accepted thing in today's society and millions of people have them.

Ok, so you have decided you want a tattoo; but where can you find the best designs to look through and help you make the best tattoo to get? The answer to this question is printable tattoo designs from the internet.

There are literally thousands of tattoo designs online for anyone to access and print off as many times as they would like. These designs can then be brought right to the tattoo shop and you can get your tattoo just how you want it!

I recommend joining an established tattoo design database website and you will certainly find the butterfly fairy tattoo designs that you need for your next tattoo. You will be able to sort through designs at your own pace instead of being rushed into a design at a tattoo shop.

Fairy Tattoo Designs and Their Meaning

Fairy Tattoo

Fairy tattoo is an excellent choice for people who want to retain their young heart and their fantasy world. Many fairy tattoo designs have been downloaded from the net. You can select from the sophisticated fairy to a childish cartoon fairy for your tattoo.

Do you remember the days when you were young and you use to watch Peter Pan and Ferngully? It's not new for people to go back in their inspirational characters during childhood for there are those who want to stay young and express themselves with their favorite characters.

Back in history, old folks used these mythical creatures to lure the innocent mind of children into a whimsical world of magic. Most literature for children includes fairies of all sorts. Fairies are made attractive and believable for entertainment. They represent angels or guardians who can grant our wishes if we are in a distressful situation. They are portrayed to be mostly in the deep forest and heavenly kingdoms far from human sight and perception.

Just like Tinkerbell who is popular among us because of Peter Pan, she has this magic fairy dust that can make flying possible for anyone. They live in Neverland which is located in a place where no one could go to without their help. These tiny creatures are so cute that women choose this fairy tattoo as their first tattoo. Due to its feminine and magical touch, fairy tattoo has evolved in different forms. From tiny creatures to women-like figures, their images are made more stylish.

On the other hand, fairy tattoo are also worn by men. Don't think that a man with a fairy on his chest or biceps is gay. It is a form of art, self-expression and self-esteem. Maybe he wanted to have this fairy design as his girlfriend and he wanted the world to know about her. Fairies connote different meanings and the interpretations depend on the bearer itself. An man with a fairy tattoo can think of this fairy as his guardian angel and that he feels comfortable with a soft image design.

Another thing is we are often captured by those things we see in movies. Make-believe realms and imaginative characters come to life in these movies. As a result, people tend to make them as part of their lives, making them real and live with them. So for some, having the fairy tattoo is the closest thing to be one with these magical people.
