Tattooing

Experiencing a Tattoo “My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story”. (Depp) I have three tattoos, each of them have a different meaning: furthermore, each experience getting them is different. As I observed others receiving their tattoos I noticed they had other experiences that differed from mine. While some people may not like tattoos, my first tattoo had a lot of meaning to it, it helped me through tough times because every tattoo I get on my body will mean something to me, my…

Once upon a time, tattoo parlors were the domain of the docks, the back alleys of cities or down the block from a military base. Their proprietors were bikers, dockworkers and servicemen. But somewhere in the waning days of the 20th century, things changed and the tattoo became not only fashionable, but ubiquitous. You could say the tattoo managed to do something very few politicians ever hope to accomplish – transcend generational and culture lines. Today it seems you can’t watch a…

Throughout the depths of the world’s artistic history, there have been many constants and many outliers. In the past few millennia, one of the former has always been the discovery of sculptural severed heads. Whether they be cast in bronze, carved from marble or stone, or formed from rare precious metals and gems, much of the culture and events can be derived from these findings, many of which were a-‘head’ of their time. The first piece to be highlighted is, uncoincidentally, also the first…

Tattoos have been around since the dawn of time, but their popularity has risen to incredible heights in the last couple of decades, gaining social acceptance. Roughly 500 licensed tattoo artists were based in the United States in the early 60’s. That number increased to nearly 20 times as many by 1995. Two decades later, there are over 210,000 tattoo parlors operating in the United States, becoming a $1.65 billion industry. Individuals use tattoos to expresses themselves in different manners in…

Are you at the point that you are pretty sure that you want to get your very first tattoo, but don't really know which one to get? I've been there and know exactly how it can feel to be looking for the first tattoo design that you actually want on your body for the rest of your life. Some people such as myself spend a lot of time thinking up different tattoo designs, or spend a lot of time looking through books trying to find something that's unique and fun enough to actually want on our bodies.…

Talk to any "ink head" - that is, tattoo aficionado - and you'll find the same subject topping the conversation. How long tattoo inks last for, and what can be done to make sure they last as long as possible. Check out any new tattoo, compare it to one that is two or three years old, and you'll instantly see what is meant here. Tattoo ink fades, and the worse the quality of the ink the quicker that happens. Look at a new tat on the body of a man or woman who has had previous work done in the…

It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap)…

What would you say if your teen wanted a tattoo? Would you say yes, or would you disagree and not understand why they’d want to make that choice? Most adolescents see a tattoo as a way to express themselves and their personality, or interests. Minors should be allowed to get tattoos with their parents consent, because if their parent will allow and give permission to their child to receive a permanent mark on their body the choice should be theirs, but of course if their parent will also…

Getting Tattoo is a bad thing? Tattoo is a permanent art on body since the past time. It still exists in the present time. Generally, it is free for people to get the tattoo to. However, the stereotype of tattoo is negative to the world’s eyes, mostly middle aged to old people. Some of them even call it ‘a sign of bad people’. These make people who want tattoo afraid of getting it. Though tattoo is more common in today’s world, there are always conflicts between the old generation and new…
