Tatoo Designers
…I don’t get it.
Here’s the definition of a fad: (courtesy merriam webster)
FAD-noun-a practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal
key…FOR A TIME.
So explain this please:
1. Chinese warriors had tattoos
2. Henna is from ANCIENT India and Egypt.
3.Ancient N. Eurpean tribes were tattooed, in fct HEAVILY tattooed.
4. same goes for middle east as well.
5. American Indians did tattooing as well.
These are all well-respected ancient cultures that all contributed to our current culture.
It was brought back to Western culture NOT ONLY by inmates (which Im sure is where your labels of “low-class” come from) but servicemen, who were fighting for our goddamned country.
How is it any different then piercing one’s ears, dying one’s hair, botox, rhinoplasty or other cosmetic surgeries? They’re all forms of body beautification.
Make up is body art.
Nail painting is body art.
etc.
Tattooing is just more permanent.
Also
how is a tattoo of something like an inspirational quote or memorial to someone who died “trashy”
Do people insult you for the clothes you wear or your personal style? No, so why do you come here and insult the tattooing community? We’re not hurting you just by being “inked”.
Thanks.
Im not hostile, I want people’s explanations.
And it sounds like everyone gets their opinions fromno real substance.
but here’s a thing:
your “personal opinion” does not need to manifest itself into calling my art and self-expression “trashy”
I don’t care if you like it or not
but there’s no need to come into this part of answers and insult us.
PS I’m talking about original tattoos, not those run-of-the-mill stars hearts and butterfly tramp stamps.
I”M not the one who makes tattoos look bad.
Those who make tattoos look bad are those who get run-of-the-mill tattoos, just to be cute or trendy, not those of us who get meaningful original designs.
If you’ve never had a tattoo before, you may not know where to find the best designs to express your very personal message. Many tattoo artists have their own websites where they display their artwork. The are also dozens of sites that are devoted to aficionados of tattoos and body art. These sites also feature designs and photos of tattoos. Most local artists have portfolios showing their work. You can also look at clip art and flash art designs online and offline to get ideas that work for you.
A tattoo can tell many things about a person that wears it. It is a very distinct piece that can stand for your life choices. Definitely, you can enter a tattoo parlor and choose something off their wall or book flash art collections. But do you want to go for a tattoo, which is not yours alone? Or do wish for a body art idea that is completely and uniquely yours?
To find the best tattoo ideas for your persona, you should begin by asking yourself why you want to get inked. What are your concerns? Do you want a tattoo because you want to celebrate your life or the life of someone important to you?
It may not be wise to get a tattoo that makes a political or religious statement, since as we grown older as perspectives may change and we may not believe the same things we did in our youth. On the other hand, memorial or commemorative tattoos are about things we want to keep close to our hearts forever.
Once you have chosen a theme for your tattoo, it’s time to choose a design to express your theme. An animal or floral design is a good choice for a memorial tattoo and you may wish to include a date. Hearts and roses are popular and many variations are available from which to choose.
Graphic novels are a good place to start, especially if you have a favorite character that you can relate yourself with very much. If you love the outdoors, nature can be your best comrade to assist you in designing the most appropriate tattoo imagery for you. Try to appreciate the shape and color of every living thing and from there you can start incorporating your thoughts.
Because your hobbies tell what you like and what you enjoy the most, it will be helpful if you try to associate the things you love to do like surfboarding, riding horses or motorcycles to your tattoo design. Other things to consider are your CD collection, your photo album and even fine art museums.
