The authors approached the creation of the video seriously. Soloists had to change their image: Lena lost a dozen kilos, Julia lost her long hair and turned into a fiery brunette. The work took two weeks.
The music video about the isolation of lesbian girls from the world around them generated a lot of controversy on the topic of same-sex relationships. And the Tatu soloists were in the middle of the scandal and attention. The girls were allowed to talk to the press and give autographs to a minimum, there was a whole set of rules about what they could and could not do. In particular, it was forbidden to answer questions about orientation at all.
2001 was a very busy year for the group. In the spring, "Tatu" presented fans their debut album "200 on the counter," which for the first couple of months sold 500 thousand copies. This was a record for Russian-speaking bands and their sales abroad were dizzying too. We even managed to surpass Madonna and Michael Jackson in sales volume. The song "They Won't Get Us", which was part of the record, was wrapped up in a music video.

By the end of the summer the Tatushki decided to finally conquer Europe by starting to translate their debut album into English. Abroad, they were already looking forward to the work. Girls had to pull up English under the guidance of the teacher of the Moscow State University. And they did not cease to travel all over the country with concerts, also looked into Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics.
In the same year the duo's repertoire was enriched by the new song "Half an Hour", which also kept on topping the tops of the radio stations. The group celebrated winning the MTV Video Music Awards at the Metropolitan in New York and winning the "Most Hit Song" award at the "Music Podium" contest.
In 2002, the band gave foreign fans their English-language hits "Not Gonna Get Us," "I've Lost My Mind," and "All the Things She Said," which achieved gold and platinum status. We had to change the name of the duo: the group was called t.A.T.u. because there was already a group "Tatu" in Australia.
Tatu Group at Eurovision
A year later, in the spring of 2003, the duo t.A.T.u. went to defend the honor of their native country at "Eurovision". Girls performed the song "Do not believe, do not be afraid, do not ask" and confidently won third place, behind the artists from Turkey and Belgium. The discrepancies in the scores were small, and the Russians suspected irregularities in the voting system, but the protest was rejected.
The band continued their meteoric rise to the Olympus of music for a short while. In the winter of 2004 STS channel launched a project "Tatu" in Celestial Empire in a format of a reality show, in which the members of the group showed their work on the second album. However, soon the activity of the duo began to decline - Katina and Volkova broke up with Shapovalov.

The album had the Russian title "Disabled People" and the English title "Dangerous and Moving", from which only three singles were released - "All About Us", "Friend or Foe" and "Gomenasai". The first one was in the top ten of the European charts, the others didn't reach such a dizzying success. Soon after in America they shot a video for "All About Us", which included the shots from the live performance of the artists.

In support of their new work the girls went on a grandiose promo-tour, the geography of the tour included Japan, Argentina and Brazil. A wave of concerts also swept across Russia. During the tour, the "Tatu" soloists dared to refute the ingrained lesbian image. In every interview, Lena and Julia did not forget to accentuate that they were exclusively friendly. The disclosure of cards played against the "tattoos" - the duo was deprived of the lion's share of fans.
In 2007, the girls distinguished themselves by their participation in the Gay Pride parade, and they even gave up working on their third studio album for the sake of it. In the summer Julia and Lena went to the shooting of Roland Joffe's "You and I". The film was based on the work of Russian deputy Alexei Mitrofanov and Anastasia Moiseeva, a student of Russian State Humanitarian University, "Tatu Kam Back".
Chantelle van Santen and Misha Barton were reincarnated as the main characters. An American and a Russian girl go to the concert of "Tatu", taking place in the Russian capital. The film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, though outside of the competition program.

Moreover, Lena Katina will be supported by the current team, while Yulia Volkova is going on a free voyage in complete solitude.
Six months later, Lena did go on stage alone, but half of her repertoire consisted of Tatu songs. A former colleague took such an approach to the business with hostility. However, later the girls occasionally united in performances, even recorded a track with Mike Tompkins and Ligalayze "Love in Every Moment" and created a music video for it.

What you should know before going to the salon
Tattoos are an option for body modernization, which has a "long-lasting" effect. That is why you should study some of the subtleties of image selection. Tattoo is something that you'll fall asleep with and wake up every day, so do not give in to a temporary desire or advice of others. Think carefully before taking such a step.
The name of a loved one is a kind of oath of loyalty, and a woman's name on her hand - the recognition to others that you have found the one. If you still decided to hit the initials, it is better to let it be a tattoo of a child or parents, and for the rest it is better to use a safe. Speaking of the font, we note that there is an opportunity to apply a name tattoo in the form of a simple word, and you can turn one word into a whole work of art. Especially popular are beautiful tattoos in Latin or Chinese, used to convey the meaning of their own name.
The peculiarities of language selection are as follows:
- Arabic ligature- suitable for tattooing exposed areas of skin of a large area. For example, the full length of the forearm.
- Chinese and Japanese characters are better to apply on vertical stripes. The best place is the spine area.
- The larger the font of the name tattoo, the more space is needed for the result.
- On a woman's graceful hands or ankles, it is better to use a lettering with a thin font.
Locations of name tattoos
If there are already tattoos on the body, and you only want to complement them, then you can do it with the name or initials. It happens that, having determined with the sketch, people can not decide on the place of their application. Most often, tattoos with the names are applied to the following parts of the body:
- The inside of the arm is a great place to place a children's name.
- The biceps is a great place to place a drawing with the name of a beloved girl or spouse.
- Wrist - this part of the body is used for names of especially close people.
- The waist - here girls usually put their initials or the name of a loved one.
- Feet - not a bad option for performing a tattoo with the name of an idol.
- Ankles - here you can easily perform not only the name, but to apply a whole composition.
Letters for girls and guys
In most cases, more sentimental and sensitive girls choose as a body drawing with initials - the first letter of the name of the beloved. As this tattoo is very popular among young mothers, they put the first letter of the name of their child - symbolic and touching. Often, the letter can mean the initial letter of the name of the person who is no longer alive, but the memory of him they want to keep forever.
As for guys, they choose letters often accompanied by additional elements or three-dimensional letters of medium size. Often the letter symbolizes the beginning of the wearer's own name. And no, this does not indicate narcissism, only that the person appreciates and respects himself and his name.
Paired tattoos with each other's initials is not a good idea. If the lovers break up, it will be unpleasant and quite expensive to re-tattoo or remove the tattoo.
