For centuries we have painted ourselves with tattoos and recently the appearance of this body art form has exploded in popularity with great numbers of people getting themselves inked.There are a variety of different styles in tattoo design from crude home made forms using a bottle of shop bought ink and a sewing needle to highly sophisticated methods involving the latest colors of ink and very quick needle guns employed by professional tattooists. They get the job done in record time and some of these tattooists are close to being the modern equivalent of a Michelangelo or Pablo Picasso.
What is achieved by the tattoo artists using their great designs and colored ink is quite remarkable.
Why do folk settle for getting inked with historical designs that are normally in the single colors of henna or black? The answer like most things is multi faceted and the roots of which begin in the mists of time itself. Historically, before we communicated properly with speech, we used this art form as a way of communicating with each other.
Many of us will have seen cavemen animal drawings on cave walls and the depiction was normally so good we could tell which animals they were. Drawing on their bodies became a natural extension of that art form. The inked body drawings would tell of great victories and other notable events.
The leaders of the tribe would have special designs that would depict their standing within the community and the most effective place for the tribal back tattoos was on the back so that they could be followed into battle or when hunting for animals. It was a case of follow the leader in those days and those generals led from the front rather than being safely deployed behind their troops which is the case in modern day wars.
Lower back tribal tattoos have become popular with women as they have a flattering effect on the shape of a woman's body. The waist is given the illusion of being smaller whereas the hips appear to be enhanced giving an overall more shapely appearance.
Men often prefer their tribal back tattoos on the upper back which again enhances the body shape appearance by giving the effect of widening the shoulders, reducing the waist and giving the impression of the classic V shape.

A nautical star tattoo is a five armed star, with each of its arms divided into two symmetrical parts by a straight line. Nautical star tattoos are simple, symmetrical and small in size. They can be easily combined with other tattoo designs. Though, there are very less variations with the nautical star design, there are various elements that can be added to the nautical star tattoo, to enhance the bold feature of the star tattoo. A wreath design below or surrounding the nautical star or nautical star tattoo with wings attached to its sides are some of the design ideas. Even a small nautical star inside a large nautical star or a nautical star tattoo with banners is also a good tattoo idea. The colors for these tattoos are usually dark in shades, filled in alternate manner. Black, red, blue, etc. are some of the popular colors used. One can go for a single large nautical star tattoo or a group of nautical stars arranged in an artistic manner.Labels: Nautical Star Tattoo Designs

Tattoo Artist on Hollywood Blvd in HollywoodSunday, October 10, 2010
After meeting Horiyamato I learned that we have some mutual friends who are also well known tattoo artists - Ami James, Chris Garver and Yoji Harada from the hit reality show Miami Ink. The guys were recently in Japan shooting their new show, "WorldWide Tribe," and they stopped by Ikebukuro to pay the Horitoshi Family a visit.
Before finding his passion for tattoo Horiyamato used to write for Warp Magazine and he also DJ'd the Tokyo nightclub circuit. Now he's very serious about tattooing but he still finds the time to have fun with his artistic skills. Akilla paints and he also designs for his friends' clothing lines like Manji Line and Bounty Hunter. He recently designed an official WWE t-shirt for Rey Mysterio... and more recently he designed the ski suit for Olympic Alpine Skier Akira Sasaki.

composition is much more aesthetic and eyecatching. Strangely enough though i personally find this chaotic irregular compilation of deliberate body markings that tell a story of the changes in life and attitude that happen to us on our life's journey to be extremely attractive and sexy, as well as what i call a "real tattoo" - meaning that the person who doesnt dare to get a small tattoo first , rather waits to get the perfect body suit with a preconcieved perfection thought out to completion before ever having gone under a needle (and there are many followers of fashion these days who de exactly that), does not really wish to be marked with the scars of change and remembrance as well as being tattooed reminders of our secret codes of conduct. The person who has the perfect tattoo as the first one is a fashion follower, not a tattoo fan.. a tattoo fan cannot resist the impulse on a whim to mark oneself as a rite of passage from one inner change to the next... Angelina, is obviously an authentic person in an enviroment that ios full of plasticity, backstabbers, papparazi and other such unenlightened mindsets. I have seen here interviewed and it was obvious that she was innerly laughing at the whole plastic hype and i am sure she almost breaks her ribs laughing at the synthetic hollywood enviroment.Labels: Angelina Jolies Thailand Tattoos

When one think of the, I kissed a girl singer the last thing that comes to their mind is tattoos. This is the best thing about tattoos. People who you would never think to have one has one. This also just goes to show that the stereotype on tattoos couldn't be more wrong. It is usually those shy, good girls from next door that have a secret love for tattoos. With that being said, Katy Perry does have a tattoo of her own and it just so happens to be in a rather visible place.Labels: Katy Perry Tattoos

A tattoo is a design created by inserting dark, endurable ink into the outer layer of the skin, also known as the dermis. This ink changes the pigment, that is the color of skin, to the one you want. Tattooing is essentially a body art form which is used to decorate the body with a variety of designs. Its believed that tattooing originated in Japan where the indigenous Ainu people used to paint their faces as part of their tradition. From there it spread to neighboring countries and was practiced worldwide.Labels: Stomach Tattoos
You can pierce yourself, but it’s not really a good idea. It’s simply too hard to keep the area in your own home (or wherever you happen to be) clean and sterile enough. You also may have trouble lining up and placing a piercing squarely where you want it, and if you lose your nerve half-way through the piercing, you’re stuck with it half done. If you do it at home, you’ll probably do it on an impulse, which will mean you won’t have the right tools. Piercing needles are incredibly sharp in order to reduce the pain and make a good, clean cut. No matter how sharp that sewing needle is at home, it’s not as sharp as a piercing needle, so it will hurt more, bleed more, and may not heal as cleanly.
