Weird Tattoos, Art Popular in Many Parts of the World (17 HQs Pics)
A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

Girl Tribal Tattoos
The most popular areas of the body to have girl tattoo designs inked tend to be the lower back, below the belly button, ankles and legs. Necks, hands, wrists and legs are also popular spots for girl tattoo designs, though. As far as what girl tattoo designs to get, popular ones include angel wings, hearts and cherry blossoms. Some girls even like to get more controversial tattoos, like demons and dragons. Read More about Feminine Tattoos.
Body Art Tattoo-Visual Feast
Tattoo aficionados are firm about getting good body art tattoos when they think they should allow some more body spaces for tattoo canvas. Body art tattoo normally covers hand, including arm, elbow, and wrist, shoulder, neck, chest, upper-and-lower-back portions, and lower stomach.
So many colorful motifs are there to occupy this large area for body art tattoos. Men and women, both, love to flaunt with body art tattoos. Sometimes, it is a painstaking and time-killing process, and the tattoo enthusiast must be patient before the full body art tattoo is done.
The present body art tattoo in image is a nice example of such kind of tattoo – it eye-catching in nature. Sometimes, the legs are also used.

Temporary tattoos are such a hot trend right now! They are the easiest way to add some edge to your look without the permanent commitment. You could apply new tattoos to go with each outfit, and simply wipe it off at the end of the day!
They are great for photo shoots when you want to create a different character for each shot.

Lower Back Tribal Tattoos - Magical Historical Roots
Lower back tribal tattoos have become very popular in recent modern times, this article explains why.
For centuries we have painted ourselves with tattoos and recently the appearance of this body art form has exploded in popularity with great numbers of people getting themselves inked.
There are a variety of different styles in tattoo design from crude home made forms using a bottle of shop bought ink and a sewing needle to highly sophisticated methods involving the latest colors of ink and very quick needle guns employed by professional tattooists. They get the job done in record time and some of these tattooists are close to being the modern equivalent of a Michelangelo or Pablo Picasso.
What is achieved by the tattoo artists using their great designs and colored ink is quite remarkable.
Why do folk settle for getting inked with historical designs that are normally in the single colors of henna or black? The answer like most things is multi faceted and the roots of which begin in the mists of time itself. Historically, before we communicated properly with speech, we used this art form as a way of communicating with each other.
Many of us will have seen cavemen animal drawings on cave walls and the depiction was normally so good we could tell which animals they were. Drawing on their bodies became a natural extension of that art form. The inked body drawings would tell of great victories and other notable events.
The leaders of the tribe would have special designs that would depict their standing within the community and the most effective place for the tribal back tattoos was on the back so that they could be followed into battle or when hunting for animals. It was a case of follow the leader in those days and those generals led from the front rather than being safely deployed behind their troops which is the case in modern day wars.
Lower back tribal tattoos have become popular with women as they have a flattering effect on the shape of a woman's body. The waist is given the illusion of being smaller whereas the hips appear to be enhanced giving an overall more shapely appearance.
Men often prefer their tribal back tattoos on the upper back which again enhances the body shape appearance by giving the effect of widening the shoulders, reducing the waist and giving the impression of the classic V shape.
New ink
Yeah I know, I suck. I haven't been the greatest at keeping this blog updated. What can I say, having 2 jobs takes alot of time out of a day. Anyhow here is my latest work:
"We strive to be worthy of their devotion". I'd been looking for something that would represent dogs in way I loved. (One of my jobs is as a dog trainer.) I stumbled across this celtic version of a pawprint and knew this was it. My tattoo guy did a great job designing the rest of it with the quote. The forget-me-knots are in memory of the dogs gone but not forgotten. I think I'm going to go back and add more flowers above it on my shoulder.
Sexy Back Tattoos
When you choose the design and location of your newest tattoo, consider your back. Sexy back tattoos for women are plentiful and ideas are everywhere around you. If you are tattooing an image, consider color, shape, and size. If you want script on your tattoo, make decisions about style, size, and content. No matter what you choose, the best tattoo is something that represents you. It is something you will be proud of your entire life and tells a story to everyone who sees it. Think carefully about what you want your tattoo to say about you.
Yakuza Japanese Tattoo Style in Greenpeace ad
Greenpeace commissioned these print ads to depict richly decorated tattoos on Japanese men. Look closely and you’ll see whales being butchered by the different characters.
The tagline for these images are “Not all traditions deserve to be preserved. Put an end to whaling in Japan.”

Life in Colour - Tattoo Inks for Long Lasting Effect
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 past. The new tattoo is bright and bold next to the less obtrusive colours of the older images. The grail quest of the tattooist's art is to find those elusive tattoo inks that really work - the ones that hold their richness, depth and colour through years of sun, wind, rain and of course personal hygiene routines.
There are ways to ensure that tattoo ink and the tattoos it makes doesn't, or don't, fade with time: avoiding direct exposure to sunlight until a tattoo is well and truly "worn in", for example; or not using abrasive soaps or household cleaners. The best way, though, by far the best way, is to check that the inks being used in the first place are of the best possible quality - and the easiest way to do that is by sourcing tattoo inks from quality suppliers.
Fortunately, the shrinking world (brought close together by the invisible strands and byways of cyberspace) has made sourcing good quality anything pretty easy - and tattooist's inks are no exception. UK based sites like Tattoo Kit have excellent trade links with the world's best brand names and most prominent suppliers of ink. UK tattooists and ink heads can now get their hands on the real deal, imported from Japan and the US - ensuring that every kind of tattoo, from the old style Oriental look tats to modern South America flavoured images (skulls and flowers are big right now, done large and in vivid colours) is done with the proper tattoo inks.
In every case, a tattoo has a variety of ink it would be done best in. Older style inks are gentler, less boldly coloured but full of a soft depth. This kind of ink is best for the traditional tattoo designs first popularised by soldiers and sailors returning from World War postings in Asia and the Orient. Modern tattoo designs, which tend to have their roots more in mainstream underground music forms like rockabilly, and the Latin influenced rock music found on the West coast of the US, use brighter inks - larger areas of solid colour filled with blazing oranges and deep blues. The tattoo inks required for this kind of image are completely different - the kind of thing first used by the Californian chopper guru most famous for his 1980s skate and hot rod designs.
Source the right inks and one's tattoo will stay bright and clear forever. Just make sure the equipment matches the quality of the ink.

Girl Tattoos Beautiful
Female tattoos – or tattoos that are feminine in design, and are usually favored by women or girls – are becoming more and more common.For the first fifty or sixty years after tattooing became commonplace and even mainstream in modern society,few women got tattoos-those that did were the exception and usually a touch eccentric or rebellious.
Girl's Tattoos
All that changed about twenty years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so the female tattoo became more common and acceptable. Nowadays most people find female tattoos sexy and attractive, they certainly aren't offensive anymore.

Girl's Tattoos
That having been said it’s still true that more men than women get tattoos and it’s even true that there is a little element of social rebellion inherent in a woman’s decision to get a tattoo, although this is less and less the case, tattoos are more like a fashion item these days.
Girl's Tattoos
However, female ink is no longer shocking, and we no longer jump to conclusions about a woman’s moral character based on whether or not she has a few tattoos!

Sexy Butterfly Tattoos
Butterfly tattoos are such lovely art creations. It symbolizes femininity, frailty and meekness. Since butterflies are aerial beings and love to fly, it can also be a sign of being free. Dipping from one flower to another, a butterfly loves sweet nectar, just like women who make themselves feel cared for and comforted.
But not to forget that becoming a butterfly means it came from a caterpillar which is ugly and icky. But, like a woman, who blooms to be a beautiful being when the time is right the butterfly will do the same. It is probably why a lot of women prefer butterfly tattoos because they feel a certain kind of connection with it.
In fact, butterfly tattoos are so rampant in celebrities, even the normal average Jane would like to have one just so they can connect with their idols.
Sexy Butterfly Tattoos
There are lots of places where those tattoos can be put. It is mostly best by the ankle, if you prefer a teeny weenie Butterfly; by the lower back – which by the way provides a smooth base for that kind of tattoo and the most perfect placement – if you ask Julia Roberts who has one right at that spot; and by the shoulder if you are planning a medium to large butterfly design. For Drew Barrymore, the former Guess model and perhaps the celebrity who made the butterfly tattoo famous, she had it printed on her navel area which is daring but beautiful on her.
For dominant women, like Drew and Olivia Wilde, who are not afraid of their womanhood, they place their butterfly tattoos on their stomach area, upper arms for Olivia, calves, thighs or just about anywhere else. Britney Spears has an Itsy Bitsy butterfly tattoo on her foot but it looks good on her, anyway, a frequent place for a butterfly tattoo. Still, you can beat Julia, Drew, Olivia and Britney. Pick your own tattoo design and make it yours alone.
