Tattoos

A tattoo is made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. Tattoos on humans are a type of body modification, and tattoos on other animals are most commonly used for identification purposes. The first written reference to the word, "tattoo" (or Samoan "Tatau") appears in the journal of Joseph Banks, the naturalist aboard Captain Cook's ship the HMS Endeavour in 1769: "I shall now mention the way they mark themselves indelibly, each of them is so marked by their humour or disposition".

Tattooing has been practiced for centuries in many cultures spread throughout the world. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally had facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa), Māori of New Zealand, Hausa people of Northern Nigeria, Arabic people in East-Turkey and Atayal of Taiwan with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Taiwan, Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Indeed, the island of Great Britain takes its name from tattooing, with Britons translating as 'people of the designs' and the Picts, who originally inhabited the northern part of Britain, literally meaning 'the painted people'. British people remain the most tattooed in Europe. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

Tattoos have had a rich and colorful history in western popular culture for the past two centuries. Nowhere is this better illustrated than by the rather extraordinary number of historical figures and modern day celebrities who have sported or currently have body art.

The story of the tattoos that are draped on the body of box office hitmaker and baby mama Angelina Jolie are a story in themselves, but this week one artist is spilling on a session with Jolie that was a bit girly. It doesn't include Brad Pitt but there is a bit on Angie's former husband Billy Bob Thornton and Jolie's tan lines.
According to a Life & Style Weekly report, "famed celebrity tattoo artist Friday Jones - who once gave Angelina Jolie a tat in a very private place - is opening Friday Jones Fifth Avenue at Senses NY Salon & Spa on June 16."

She spoke with the magazine. "I always thought we could have a more serene, spiritually driven approach to tattooing," Friday, who notes that Angelina was one of her inspirations for the posh-parlor concept, tells Life & Style. "I met Angie right around 2000. She was this edgy, avant-garde girl. She would pull up to the house and say, 'I'm jonesing for a tattoo - you have to tattoo me.' And we're up in the house in the Hollywood Hills, she has her little glass of wine, it's very calm. It's a good atmosphere to stretch out and feel like girls."
But the item notes when Angelina, 34, asked Friday to mark her with the name of then-lover Billy Bob Thornton, Friday did have some reservations, she admits. "I was like, 'I'm not going to put that man's name on you,'" she says. "Eventually, after about two or three weeks of her coming over every day, I broke down. We put his name very delicately on her bikini line." Angelina Jolie had the cross tattoo done the day before she married Johnny Lee Miller in 1995. In her own words: "It was all symbolic, and it was a good thing, nothing dark." One of her latest tattoos is on her inner thigh done... "Um, it's for Brad".

Sugar Skull Tattoo

2011-10-15T05:40:00.000-07:00

People long time ago had been very expressive when it came to rituals and celebrations. The indigenous people in South America during pre-Spanish colonization used skull for rituals in honor for the dead. The ancient ritual then became the source of inspiration for people in the modern world to use sugar skull tattoo in the festivity to remember those loved-ones who already departed.

As sugar plantations then are of great economic sources, enslaved Meso-Americans were forced to embrace a new culture through making sugar skull tattoos. The abundance of sugar led early Meso-Americans to maintain celebrating life and death in a new way to revive the tradition which almost turned extinct when Christianity began to flourish.

The printing of sugar skull tattoo into a specific part of the body like the forehead is often recognized by Mexicans during November 1 and 2. During All Saint’s Day, Mexican people offer a celebration for young citizens who have died right through the year. The All Soul’s Day, on the other hand, is for the adults who have rested.

The most common symbol during the holiday is the skull. The skull is an expression of death or renewal of life for people who want to forget their misdeeds. Imprinting sugar skull tattoos then became a concept that fused Christian and nomadic principles.

Mexican people are flexible in embracing and altering their culture. The use of skull to commemorate the death of their ancestors are believed to oppose the doctrines of Christianity but they have altered the nomadic view of celebration into an artistic creation which no longer argue Christian principles instead support them with the concept of renewal and honoring the dead.

Today, using sugar skull tattoo is no longer a religious concern but a product of artistry. If you are planning to respect Mexican culture through imprinting sugar skull tattoo, you can freely choose your own design as there is no specific rule to conform. You can also enjoy varied decoration types like stars, flowers, basic shapes, lines, and dots of different sizes to improve its essence.

You can also learn making sugar skull tattoos if you are skilled in visual arts. If you think that your artist has never done great about tattooing, then you are qualified to invent your own style. The single and basic rule in tattooing; however, is creating an original design.

Sugar skull tattoos are made of basic ingredients like water, sugar, and powdered meringue. The mold allows pressing of contents into the skin creating a beautiful skull. If you are planning to remember the good memories of your lost relatives or immediate family members, sugar skull making is the most recommended hobby or past time.

Sugar skull tattoo making is the best means to accept death. Aside from reminiscing good memories with loved-ones who already died, it also reminds people that death is a special way for them to reach another destination. It is also the easiest way to accept death as a natural occurrence and believe that life is eternal with God.

Dragon Tattoo Meaning

2011-10-15T05:32:00.000-07:00

If you have been thinking about dragon tattoos but wanted more information on them before you committed to a new tattoo, you might be surprised to know there are several meanings to this creature. Depending on the type of dragon tattoo you get, it will bring a different meaning. One of the more popular types of dragons that people get tattooed is the Chinese dragon. The meaning behind this tattoo is based upon how the Chinese view dragons. This tattoo will symbolize wisdom and good will, which is how the ancient Chinese saw their dragons as. Getting this tattoo symbolizes good will in your future.

A dragon tattoo from Japan represents balance. The dragon is seen as a creature that is able to balance the yin and the yang of life. If you get this type of tattoo, you could be trying to find balance in your life. This is great for people with a hectic life because all they have to do is look at their tattoo and they can find balance. There also are Celtic dragons that are thought to bring order to their kingdom. This is similar to the balance of Japanese dragons. In ancient Celtic times, they would depict dragons sitting on thrones, which represented how much power they had.

In the Western part of the world, a dragon tattoo represents a much darker creature. To them, dragons were seen as beasts. Therefore, the actual tattoo would differ a lot from the Eastern dragons, which is where dragons are seen as kind and intelligent beings. In modern day culture, dragons are seen as an intelligent and free creature. For many people these days, having this type of tattoo symbolizes the freedom you have in your world, as well as the wisdom that you can possess.

Another reason to get a dragon tattoo is as a way to represent freedom is if you feel trapped in your life. You can get the tattoo as a way to tell yourself that you have freedom. You just have to be able to find it and be inspired to use that freedom. You also can get the tattoo as a way to symbolize the power you have. This can be physical or spiritual power. They both can be found in the form of a dragon. Because it has such a storied history, it is no wonder that the dragon is one of the most popular tattoos around.
