Japanese Tattoo Design

2010-01-29T10:28:00.000-08:00

The history of Japanese tattoos goes way back - they have been around for many, many years. This doesn’t mean however that they are necessary the right ones for you. You see there’s a catch with these tattoos. They’re very big, often covering the entire back, they are awfully expensive and they come in their own flavors, inspired by the Japanese culture.

The sad fact is that you will not find a tattoo parlor in the yellow pages who can make such incredible artwork. This tattoo requires a Japanese artist, but anyway a trip to Japan might be worth the trouble.

There is another catch. This is not the sort of tattoo to show off to your friends. Japanese are way more subtle than this. They are supposed to be shown only to your girlfriend or boyfriend, or occasionally to the local Yakuza mob. Yep you are reading right, this is what subtlety is in Japan, I have heard that they are still working on it. Nobody gets it right in the first place you know? Also these tattoos will hurt… a lot, because they are still doing the whole damn thing manually, so for every dot of the tattoo expect a needle expertly inserted in your skin, that if you’re lucky of course and through the expert hand there isn’t some sake flowing.

My guess is that this is the way they discovered acupuncture. The bottom line is that if you really want such a tattoo go ahead and do it, you will definitely be a beach attraction.

Phoenix Tattoos Are the Best Choice For New Beginnings

2009-12-28T02:00:00.000-08:00

The Legend...

In Greek, 'phoenix' means 'palm tree' but to most of us we know the phoenix as the mythological bird of fire. Many ancient cultures contain stories about the phoenix which, like the sun, dies in flames and rises each morning.

Christians came to see this as a metaphor for resurrection and Jewish legends talk about the Phoenix as the one creature that didn't leave paradise with Adam (and so wasn't tempted by 'forbidden fruit'). To the Chinese, the phoenix represents virtue and grace and in Japan the Phoenix is often combined with the dragon. Also, don't forget that the North American Indians have the Thunderbird which is a take on the Phoenix legend.

In short, the phoenix lives for 500 years and then sets fire to its nest and is consumed by the flames, only to be reborn from the ashes.

Today...

Today, the phoenix represents reliability, kindness, duty and often has feminine connotations. If you've been through a transformation because of adversity in your life, then the flames of the phoenix should be special to you. It's a great way to express a new beginning in your life and a symbol of moving on.

The Phoenix Tattoo...

Here are a few things to consider:

1. A phoenix tattoo needs to be quite large to get all the detail to stand out clearly. The back is a great area to have one inked, or maybe the chest. You need a bold statement. This is not a tattoo to wear discretely on your ankle!

2. You need lots of color - orange, yellow and red. However, don't be afraid to use a touch of blue, gold, copper and green to add your own unique touch.

3. Do you want the phoenix to be engulfed by flames or bursting from ashes? How about displaying your phoenix surrounding the globe so that you can portray the passing of time?

4. How about using an Egyptian phoenix design? Here, the phoenix has a man's body but with large wings. This would be different and certainly eye-catching!

As you can see, there are lots of things to consider when deciding on the style and design of your phoenix tattoo. Don't rush the process as this is going to be a big project that you want to be proud of.

In fact, millions of other people have already seen and used the designs that Google images throws up so you will end up with the same thing as everyone else. And I'm sure that isn't what you are looking for in a tattoo.

Tribal Tattoo Designs - Popular Look and Popular Style

Tribal Tattoo Designs - Popular Look and Popular Style

For hundreds and hundreds of years, cultures across the globe have used special tribal tattoo designs for individual decoration and communal identification. In recent years, the use of tribal designs by modern skin artists has grown exponentially to meet the demand from people of all ages seeking tattoos of this very nature.

Historically, traditional tribal tattoos have been utilized by cultures all over the world for everything from signifying rites of passage and defining social status to augmenting personal beauty and identifying persons of importance. And in fact, the designs of tribal tattoos vary as greatly as the cultures from which they come.

Some tribal art has been traced back to as early as 2000 B.C., and it continues to be used for cultural and social purposes today. Nearly every continent has contributed some form of recognizable tribal tattoo art to the modern-day repertoire.

Tribal tattoo artists may draw from elements originally created by the ancient Egyptians, the North American Indians, West African tribal elders, and many, many more. Although most tattoo seekers today request tribal tattoos based on their visual appeal rather than their social affiliation, the significance of such art cannot be underrated.

Tribal art has become one of the most requested types of tattoo designs by men and women alike. Many men get these tattoos as armbands or as large images on the shoulder; most women request them as an ankle band or as artwork on their lower backs.

Although most modern-day tribal designs do not have a particular significance to a tribe or clan, the amalgamations that have emerged from the many influences belong more to the person creating the art or the individual wearing it. Many people find their tribal art tattoos to be a statement of their individuality.

Many tribal art designs are comprised of strong, bold images that are appealing to the eye. They are usually characterized by intertwining, thick lines and are often symmetrical in shape. They are frequently filled in black and feature distinctive, repetitive patterns that are often unique to the artist who has developed the design.

As more and more men and women seek tribal tattoo designs, the popularity and significance of this art will continue to grow. Some people get tribal art tattoos to pay homage to their ancestors or family roots; others choose a tribal design based on what it represents to them. Still others select a tribal design based only on the way it looks. But regardless of the reason why it is selected, tribal art offers the wearer the opportunity to be part of something larger than themselves.

Amazing Tattoo Designs for girls

Let's face it, people who like tattoos are always looking for the next amazing tattoo design to set themselves apart from the crowd and although this might seem like an easy task, anyone who has been through it knows differently. Sometimes it can just hit you, you see something in a picture or in a museum or even in a movie and bingo! that's it - you know straight away that this is your next tattoo. If you're one of the lucky ones (those who can draw beautifully from imagination) you can scribble it down and take your own amazing tattoo design to your tattooist and within no time at all your dream is a reality. However, most of us are not that lucky and whilst we have willing and creative minds which think up all these amazing tattoo designs we have weak and stubborn fingers who insist on not getting the picture (literally!).

Body art has been with us from the year dot when ancient cave men used it not only for camouflage but also to mark themselves and their tribesmen out from other rival tribes. Indeed, the word ' tattoo' is derived from the ancient Tahitian word "tattau" meaning to mark. Since then tattoos have evolved into a serious art form and most people are into their body art because it is beautiful and because it makes a personal statement about themselves. Choosing your amazing tattoo design can be a minefield though. Just think of all the Chinese symbols for example. Do you know what they mean - and moreover, do you expect your tattooist to know? A very good friend of mine had a Chinese symbol tattoo done a couple of years back. It was a beautifully intricate design on his left shoulder with symbols surrounded by oriental dragons and magnificent colours. He was born in the year of the dragon and his wife was born under the sign of the dog. The symbol was suppose to say something like ' dragon will honour dog in life and death". However he has since discovered that although it does say that it could also be construed as "dragon will curse dogs honour in life and death".

The same is true of Celtic or Egyptian symbols, and if you fancy something a bit out of the ordinary it's best to do loads of research first and be sure your symbol says exactly what you want it to say. Remember, your tattoo artist is just that, an amazing artist - NOT an expert in all sorts of ancient scripts and symbols!!

When you know it's time for another tattoo (or indeed when you've taken the decision to have your first) it is wise to take some time and look into various styles and designs and also think hard about where on your body you want to have it done. I know some women who have had amazing tattoos designed and inked all around their belly buttons only to discover that when they are pregnant (and subsequently left with stretch marks) the fabulous butterfly looks just a bit less fabulous than it did on a tanned and taut abdomen! Also, think about it from an employment point of view. Like it or not, a tattoo is not always viewed favourably by prospective employers. This is not such a problem for males, however lots of women get tattoos around their ankle or lower leg and, if in a professional capacity you need to wear a smart skirt suit, then it could make things just a little bit difficult.

Consider also, that your tattoo will be with you for life. Now, I know this is always the argument against having a tattoo, especially when it's your first one, however it is a valid one. You must be committed to the design you choose as it will be with you for a very long time. In my opinion, it's best to steer clear of the 'fashionable' tattoo styles, the ones that come in fad's and disappear a year or two later leaving your skin very 'last season'! Choose something that means something to you, something that has a little personal story behind it. Then, when people remark on your tattoo and ask about it (and they will!) you have something interesting to say about it and about yourself too.

Phoenix Bird Tattoo - Symbolic Beauty

2009-12-18T02:00:00.000-08:00

The tattooing world has very few favorites. Phoenix bird is one of them. Do you know where this interesting picture comes from? What is the symbolic significance of this awesome picture? We will look at the reasons this bird design has become one of enduring symbols of time.
Mythology says that the Phoenix is a creature that rises from its own ashes after burning down. The name itself originated from the Greek word for “red”, the universal color of fire. Being the bird of fire, Phoenix can be aptly used to symbolize a person’s inner fire and zest for life. The rage for the Phoenix bird tattoos has started a few years back. The Phoenix bird epitomizes the rebirth and resurrection from the ashes. You can use this symbol if you have had a tough patch in life and successfully overcame it.

It is fairly easy to draw the Phoenix bird tattoos which are normally painted in bright and lucid colours that represent life. The uniqueness of a phoenix bird design lies in its different interpretation by different people. You can very easily personalize a phoenix bird tattoo to highlight emotions close to your heart. You just need to tell a good tattoo artist what you want to depict with your tattoo and he or she will easily give you the best.

Jewish legend says that the phoenix was the bird that refrained from eating the forbidden fruit of paradise, set itself on fire but rose from the ashes three days later. The Phoenix bird was also considered to be the representation of the rising and setting of the sun. However later on it was widely accepted as the symbol of resurrection of life. Originally tattoos were just beauty symbols. Of late, they have become a medium to express ones life experiences and emotions. Therefore, the Phoenix bird designs have attained big popularity. Keeping in line with this, the tattoo artists have creatively designed many forms of the Phoenix bird tattoo.

The emergence of the Phoenix Bird tattoo as a popular one is not documented well but people believe that it has its origins in the Far East. Men like to have a phoenix bird picture on their arms, while the ladies normally prefer to have it on their lower back or on their belly. There are people who consider Phoenix to be the symbol of the devil and that pagans expressed their love for Satan through the phoenix. In the vastly popular Harry Potter series, the phoenix has been depicted as the bird that has healing powers. This is more in line with the symbolic meaning of Phoenix, the resurrection. In the chronicles of Narnia too, a phoenix is pictured saving one of the characters from imminent danger.

Historically the phoenix was used not just as a tattoo. It was also printed on the coins by the ancient Romans, who believed that it would ensure the longevity of the Roman Empire. No matter what the reason, the phoenix tattoo designs are beautiful and at the same time have definite, deeply held symbolic significance. Therefore, these designs are, like diamonds, forever.

The Japanese Koi Fish Tattoo Design is a "Lucky Choice" For Your 1st Tattoo

2009-12-17T00:00:00.000-08:00

The Japanese Koi Fish Tattoo Design is a "Lucky Choice" For Your 1st Tattoo

If you are looking for some of the most popular tattoo designs on the "net", the Japanese Koi fish tattoo is included with a number of the other top choices. This tattoo design is associated to the Zen and stands for Good Luck. The Japanese depict an equivalent linking to the Koi fish and a Samurai Warrior because they both characterize bravery, the capability to reach high levels of achievement and the ability to pick yourself up from life's problems. Rather than running off and having a Japanese Koi fish tattoo you should remember several factors as well as the tattoo color and its place on your body.

As you ultimately go to the tattoo shop for your Koi fish concept you must maintain an unmistakable outlook on the color pattern you would like the tattoo to be in. A highly trendy color plot is the infamous Yen Yang tattoo of black and white. For several individuals this long time display is a way too boring and tame display and they would like to go for a different, more exciting display.

It's probably a good idea to pick a color design with the intention of adding to your body complexion. As a example, if you have a lighter complexion it may be even more smarter to get a gold or yellow design. Different shades that could succeed depending on your flesh tone are white, orange, purple and red and you could learn that one of these could be the paramount color choice for your Japanese Koi fish tattoo design.

It is advised that you make certain that your Koi fish tattoo has a area of respect on your body. You should also make certain it is in a area on your body that you be happy with. For instance, if your job is of a low key nature which looks down on workers getting bold tattoos or has a strict dress code you will not want your tattoo on your hand, face, neck or lower arm where the tattoo is easily visible and nearly impractical to mask with clothing.

If that's not the case and if you are limitless to reveal off your fortunate Japanese Koi fish tattoo design, you can try putting it it on your lower back, your forearms, an area of your leg or even going around your ankle.

After you have determined what your tattoo will look like and someplace it will be, you must assign serious thought to what different things you could incorporate with the design. A fashionable and effective inclusion to the Koi design is a flowing stream or a calm pool. Bring together your Japanese Koi fish tattoo design with a a small amount of special additions such as your favorite Chinese symbol and it will result in a tattoo of superior quality that can be esteemed right through the years.

Dragonfly Tattoos Are Beautifully Offbeat

Dragonfly tattoos are for individuals who are searching for something beautifully offbeat. They are popular for many different types of people because they can be made so that they are feminine and colourful, or they can be drawn so that they are quite bug like, scary, dark, and masculine. Male or female, masculine or feminine, dragonfly tattoos are great choices for just about everyone who wants something just a little bit unusual.

Dragonfly tattoos are perfect for just about any part of the body. They are often basic images that provide a lot of visual impact. Dragonfly tattoos are one of the most popular tattoo styles available. This type of tattoo is actually quite plain to draw, so even if you are not an artist you can help design the dragonfly that you'd like to put on your body so it's unique to your personal style and preferences.

Dragonfly tattoos have a quite mystical quality to them. A fairy tale quality that may be quite beautiful, but in a more distinct way than a fairy or butterfly image. Dragonfly tattoo designs can often be given a stark tribal look, for example, that's quite masculine. They are very popular today but for many years dragonflies were condemned and revolted in the western world. The Dragonfly has always been a mystery for the west and it is often assumed to be related to which craft and black magic.

There are many myths in western folk lore where dragonflies would do nasty things to little children and they were definitely associated with the devil. In America for several centuries, dragonflies were believed to have the power to stitch closed the eyes and mouths of sleeping children. People have always assumed dragonflies to be related to black magic in the western world. For over a thousand years dragonflies were considered to be 'witch animals' and were exterminated wherever possible.

Dragonfly tattoo designs can be seen landing everywhere on peoples arms, shoulders, chests, hips and lower backs. Dragonfly tattoo designs are wildly popular with women. They are fun and colourful while at the same time being a little more unique and unexpected. Dragonfly tattoo designs give you the same freedom of making a colourful tattoo perfect for those rather flirty locations like the hip or lower back and is indicative of a person who cannot be easily categorized, just like the creature that inspired it.

If you go to your local tattoo parlor to discuss dragonfly tattoos, the chances are that they will also have ample ideas for tattoo designs. The design may be a small sexy secret or a large tribute to the wild and free spirit that the dragonfly represents. Dragonflies are often seen combined with other mystical designs such as fairies, stars, skulls, arrows and moons.

Dragonfly tattoos are a perfect representation for anyone who wants to express their free spirit. The dragonfly inhabits air and water realms in it's larval and adult stages and passes the influence of both these elements on to the wearer.The most sought after colours for dragonfly tattoos are black, grey, blue, green, orange, yellow, red, white, violet and purple.

The dragonfly tattoos are adopted by both men and women, young and old though they are often referred to as quite cute, sexy and feminine. Their universal appeal in conjunction with the great variety of styles and colours that they can be portrayed in means that Dragonfly Tattoos are just going to get more popular in the future.
