Call and then visit your local tattoo shop and check it out and make sure that it is clean, hygienic, follows the latest techniques and is fully equipped with the best tattoo equipments. Take a look at the designs created by their artists to check if their skill matches your expectations. Also, speak to some of the tattoo enthusiasts who have got themselves inked from that very studio.

As a result, people are getting out in a rush to get permanent ink on their body with the first "idea" that comes to their mind. But, don't forget the fact that a tattoo design is forever, and you have to consider a few hints before making a permanent mark on your body that reflects your personality. Choosing a tattoo design is a tough process. You have to keep in mind that the tattoo design you choose is forever, and the removal is very expensive. You have to be happy whenever you see that design on your body. So, think wisely before choosing the tattoo design, and don't forget to consider, where to put that tattoo.

Once you are done with your local visit, check tattoo design websites to see what they have to offer in terms of styles and trends in tattoos.

Star Tattoos

The number of star tattoos available for women and men is virtually limitless. This is not surprising. Since tattooing is an art form, the only design limitations are those relating to the level of creativity for any given tattoo artist. So if what you are after is an eagle soaring in front of a red sun off of your left shoulder or a terrifying skull sitting on your left triceps just glaring at anyone daring to look at it, you should have no difficulty finding an artist to do it.

Before taking the plunge, it is important to remember that a star tattoos is permanent. So be prepared that there may be repercussions to you as you go through life. You might find the ideal man or woman, only to discover that they loathe tattoos. Your boss may invite you to a day at the beach, see your star tattoo, and find it utterly unprofessional. And years later you should be prepared to field questions about it from your grandchildren.

Another very common meaning of the star tat wearer's interest in the design is the desire of the wearer to show his or her interest in celestial forms and astronomy. It is only when they intensely desire others to be aware of their singular interest they ink star tattoos on their skin. People who are into star gazing and consider it as one of their favourite hobbies also may ink their body with a star sign to show solidarity among their community friends. Some people even adorn themselves with star tats when they want to signify some even or significant turning points in their lives.

Using your skin as a living canvas is a significant choice. Your choices in star tattoos and of tattoo artists is also pivotal. Consider taking advantage of the Internet to research artwork for ideas that appeal to you, and to read reviews of tattoo parlors in your area.

Dragons tattoos: designs and ideas

Hi, everyone.
In this post I'd like to present you the most recent tattoo gallery available on my website, www.seiza.ro: the Dragon tattoo designs gallery.

The first tattoo-design of this category is a tribal tattoo depicting two dragons forming a heart-shape. The text between the two dragons is written in Chinese and means "eternal love" or "everlasting love" (I think this text is quite appropriate for this tattoo-design, due to the fact that dragons were believed to be immortal creatures.

Next: a dragon coiled around a tribal heart. In the left side of the heart is I've written a japanese word: 智勇, which means "wisdom and courage" (in the ancient beliefs dragons were the symbol of both wisdom and courage).

The 3rd tattoo-design of this section is designed specifically for a lower-back tattoo. Between the two dragons is written a short text in Japanese: 龍の魂, which means "dragon's spirit" or "dragon's soul".

Next: A tattoo design which depicts two dragons facing each other and the symbol Yin Yang in the background.

The last image for today is a tattoo design which depicts two stylized dragons facing each other. Between the tho dragons is a slightly modified version of the Yin Yang symbol - instead of the two little inner circles I've written the Chinese word 龙年 - the Year of the Dragon.

Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos has a history as far back as tattooing itself, these types of images have gained a huge increase in general popularity, beginning in the early 1990s. Traditional tribal tattoos was and is done for many reasons. Some of the most common reasons for tribal tattoos include rites of passage, social status, or even simple family identification. Some tribes also believe tattoos hold magical or spiritual significance.

One common thread throughout both traditional and modern tribal tattoos is the use of black ink and bold designs. While modern tattooing equipment and inks have made possible the finest and most detailed of body art, traditional tribal tattoo artists certainly had no such equipment available. Therefore, every tribe had its own method of administering their tattoos, some being more painstaking and/or painful than others.

Tattoos are often an expression to oneself, a distinction or as a way of letting people know something important about their life. Some tattoos are done as a form of symbol which can indicate that you are part of a certain tribe or organization. Getting a tattoo can also be part of a ritual which is significant and an example of this are tribes in North America especially with Indians. Rituals that signifies a personal achievement, coming of age, etc.

Tribal tattoos have their roots in ritual, symbolism and spirituality, but most modern types of this artwork are done more for aesthetic reasons. The images have a common appeal, and because the freedom of design is so open, it's not necessary to get actual traditional tribal imagery tattooed to have the impact of a tribal design. Though the artwork may have a personal significance to the person receiving it, it's more likely due to personal experience rather than any actual symbolism or tribal affiliation.

Tattoos

Tattoos have some wonderful designs that are largely derived and indeed begin their artistic shape in the hand of a typically skilled artist. Designs such as the Bacchus, can take on hundreds of variations due to him being a mythological figure. There is a common theme where Bacchus is concerned that is classically a brutish man who wears an ivy wreath with a goblet of wine at hand that can determine a man who enjoys the good life without being concerned of the danger to his own health.

There is a following of such tattoos where the image is seen more of a symbolic mark than a piece of artwork. One in particular is the barbed wire or barbwire tattoo that is derived from Americas Midwest wire fencing material that was used to fence off individuals land in the eighteen hundreds. For many groups in modern society, especially those incarcerated by the state, the barbed wire tattoo represents their place and in some degrees their personal situation they feel life has dealt them.

This type of tattoos is frequently worn around the upper or lower arm, better known as armband designs. Another personal design used by groups is the biochemical sign that signifies their feelings towards such hazardous materials and creates a type of brotherhood or bond between such individuals.

Besides birds other artists create some wonderful tattoo designs. One to mention is Cricket and his black widow spider tattoo that shows his artistic skill and imagination to give character to this eight legged creature that can be deadly in its own right to most animals including man. Its famous red marking on its shiny black surface are recognized by the world over and of course its spine chilling name that comes from the female species known to kill and eat it male counterpart before during or after intercourse.

Santa Muerte tattoos: several questions

Previous posts:
1. Death tattoos: Santa Muerte - origins and significations
2. Death tattoos: portrayals of the Santa Muerte
3. Santa Muerte tattoos: various elements which can occur in these tattoos

What could be the reason for getting a Santa Muerte tattoo? The first reason is the belief that Santa Muerte, being the saint of death, has the right to decide when one should die. By pleasing Santa Muerte, one can delay the moment of his / her death, can escape from deadly problems, etc. Besides, many of those who believe in Santa Muerte think that she can decide not only the moment of one's death but also the way in which a person will die and, consequently, a man need to gain her goodwill in order to receive a peaceful death.

Who are those willing to get a "Santa Muerte" tattoo? Initially, the Santa Muerte tattoos (just as the Santa Muerte worship) were popular only among thieves, drug-dealers, Mexican Mafia members, etc. For a stranger this might appear strange but most Mexicans and other Hispanic people, even though they are involved in gangs or other criminal activities, are deeply religious and rely on their Christian symbols to both identify and protect them. Moreover, they are exactly the people for whom the risk of death is always present and, quite obvious, they were the very first people willing to seek the Santa Muerte's protection. However, with the spread of the Santa Muerte worship, these tattoos ceased to be a symbol of the criminal underworld and nowadays there are hundreds or even thousands of ordinary Mexican Catholics who have an image of Santa Muerte tattooed on their bodies.

Are those tattoos "satanic tattoos"? On this issue, opinions are divided. The Roman Catholic Church has denounced the worship of Santa Muerte, considering it as a black magic and the Santa Muerte's followers as devil worshippers. On the other hand, many, if not all, of the Santa Muerte's followers consider themselves good Catholics. Santa Muerte figurines often stand near the statues of Jesus Christ or the Virgin of Guadalupe because the devotees to Santa Muerte do not see any contradiction between the Catholic faith and the worship of Santa Muerte. In many ways, a ritual dedicated to Santa Muerte is very similar to a Catholic rite, including procession and prayers for power healing, protection and favors.

Although there are many similarities between the two worships, Santa Muerte should not be confused with San la Muerte: San la Muerte is a "he" and is portrayed as a male skeleton, while Santa Muerte is a "she"; San la Muerte is venerated in the South America, not in Mexic; it seems that the San La Muerte cult is based on punishment and submission, etc. For more details about the San la Muerte cult visit this page: San La Muerte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Santa Muerte tattoos: various elements which can occur in these tattoos

Previous posts:
1. Death tattoos: Santa Muerte - origins and significations
2. Death tattoos: portrayals of the Santa Muerte

The two most common objects that Santa Muerte carries are a scythe and a globe.

The scythe can symbolize the cutting of negative energies or influences. Also, as a harvesting tool, it can symbolize hope and prosperity. It can represent the moment of death, when a scythe is said to cut a silver thread. The scythe has a long handle, indicating that it can reach anywhere.

The globe represents Death’s dominion and can be seen as a kind of a tomb to which we all return. Having the world in her hand also symbolizes vast power.

The crown - the symbol of royalty.

The presence of this symbol may be explained in two ways: firstly, the cult of Santa Muerte was highly influenced by the aztec cult of Mictecacihuatl, the queen of the Mictlan; secondly, Santa Muerte is ofted portrayed as a skeleton version of the Virgin of Guadalupe - Queen of Mexico and Empress of the Americas.

Flowers (especially roses)

Just like in real life, where Santa Muerte's shrines are adorned with flowers, the Santa Muerte tattoos are usually highly decorated with beautiful flowers. Another explanation for the presence of the flowers in these tattoos could be that the ephemeral flowers are reminder of the ephemerality of the (human) life.

The halo

The halo (also known as a nimbus, aureole, glory, or gloriole) - being a catholic saint, the presence of a nimbus is mandatory. Usually, the entire body of the Holy Death (Santa Muerte) is surrounded by a halo, but there are situations where the halo surrounds only the saint's head (a well-known visual convention in the representations of the saints in the Christian iconography).

Beautiful coloured hearts

The presence of the hearts in a death tattoo can seem strange to someone who is not familiar with the cult of Santa Muerte. The explanation is quite simple: Santa Muerte is not feared but loved. Santa Muerte's worshipers send her requests for love, affection, luck, money and protection, as well as malicious requests regarding their enemies.

The hourglasses

An hourglass indicates the time of life on earth. It also represents the belief that death is not the end, but rather the beginning of something new, as the hourglass can be turned to start over. The hourglass is also a symbol of the patience.

Human skulls, human bones, skeletons

The presence of the human bones (skulls or skeletons) in the depictions of the Santa Muerte is another proof of the link between the Santa Muerte worship and the ancient Aztec cult of Mictecacihuatl. Unlike the Christian beliefs about Death (Grim Reaper, Angel of Death, etc), according to which the role of the Death is to separate the human soul from the body and to guide the deceased to the next world, the Aztec deity Mictecacihuatl was the queen of the Mictlan; according to the Aztec religion she was living among her subjects and was keeping watch over the bones of the dead.

The scales

The scales allude to equity, justice and impartiality, as well as divine will.

An owl

The owl symbolizes her ability to navigate the darkness and her wisdom. The owl is also said to act as a messenger.
