The Ultimate Tattoo Galleries
at 10:48 AMOne of the most unique aspects of body art is that anything can be turned into a tattoo. The Mona Lisa could be a tattoo if someone wanted to put themselves through that many needle pricks for a woman that may or may not be smiling. So when it becomes time to find yourself the right type of design, you need to look for a tattoo gallery with as many different designs as possible, so that you are searching for the artistic vision that you are looking for.
However, when looking for a tattoo gallery you will find that there are two different types available. There is the type of tattoo gallery that lets you look through some intricate designs at a very slow pace and, once you find a design, you end up purchasing that single design for almost 20 dollars. These galleries are very high end, but the amount you pay for just a single tattoo and the time it takes to research that tattoo make it not always worth the effort.
On the other hand, there is the type of tattoo gallery that gives you access to 10,000 or so tattoos straight off the bat, but you have to pay for access (about the same amount of the single tattoo in the other type). Still, despite this, there is far greater value in this type of tattoo gallery because

1) If you want another tattoo in the future, or if you are having trouble choosing between multiple tattoos, this type of tattoo gallery does not make you pay a second time.
2) These types of galleries also provide you with inspiration - even if you do not see the tattoo you want amongst 10,000 tattoos available, you get the educational benefit of having seen so many that you are sure to know exactly what you are looking for.

The only benefit of the first type of tattoo gallery over the second is that you do not have to pay until you find the tattoo you want. But with the second type of gallery, and with 10,000 tattoos available, there is a good chance you are going to find the tattoo type that you are looking for, as well as 9,999 other tattoos that you can eventually choose from in the future.
One dress - 3 Covers
at 10:27 AMTattoo or body art has gained huge popularity over recent times. People of any age group and any social standing may be seen to be sporting tattoos. But they vary from person to person with respect of its designs. People sport tattoos depending on their social positioning and age group. The sported done by women are very different from that of men or hard core criminals! So the more the number of people do tattoo the more is the variety.
But instead of just going to a tattoo artist and get your tattoo done it is much better to go for something unique and ingenious. This not only distinguishes your tattoo from the others but also adds a new idea to the ever expanding realm of tattoo ideas. The tattoo that one wears reveals to an extent the personality of that particular person. So isn't it better to go for something that is unique rather than blindly copying others? As for example if one wants to tattoo a lion on his arm then he can directly draw that animal using colors as used in any other tattoo but instead of just doing this if he does the same tattoo of the animal by joining dots (just as we used to do in our first drawing classes!), that highlights the outline of it then it is not only unique but is also much more artistically appealing.

Now-a-days it has become a common fad amongst the people to tattoo the name of their dear ones on their body. This type of fashion of tattooing names or inscribing any message on the body especially on the hands in Hindi, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese is ideal for people looking forward for something different since in most cases the messages are not similar and they bring out the personality of the bearer. A variant of this kind, the Japanese Kanji tattoo especially is very popular among the masses as it supposedly raises the cool quotient and also sends out a message.

Other than this some of the tattoo ideas that have stood the test of time are the floral tattoos, the star and sun tattoos, the animal tattoos and last but not the least the tribal tattoos. Here, a few words are worth mentioning about the tribal tattoos.
Tribal tattoos have been in existence since time immemorial. It was believed by some tribes that tattooing initiates a person into adulthood. The tribal tattoos with their intricate black and sometimes white patterns that are now in practice may be a bit different from the authentic tribal tattoos owned by different tribes but nevertheless these neo tribal tattoos are as charming as their primitive counterparts.
Female Tattoo Gallery - Don't Get Taken When Finding a Good One
at 12:44 PMFinding a female tattoo gallery can be quite hard if you don't know where to look. These galleries are not well advertised and for good reason. If they were, the designs they have would not be original anymore and also, other sites would steal the unique tattoos they have.

When my wife was looking for a tattoo a few months ago she was getting so frustrated. She tried her search at the tattoo shop like she did with her first tattoo. That was easy since it was her first one. The second on however seemed to pose a huge obstacle. She knew what she wanted but could not find a good design that was original. She turned her search online figuring that there had to be thousands of designs available and she is correct. But something is wrong with that. All these designs are your basic cookie cutter tattoos.
After a few hours of searching and being more frustrated my wife found something called a female tattoo gallery. She called me into look at it and I have to agree, it did look pretty cool. There was a small one time charge to become a member but it was less money than what she spent on gas driving to tattoo shops. She signed up and become a member within minutes. When she opened up the female tattoo gallery she was amazed!

Scouring the web for wrist tattoos for girls should be a fun and memorable experience. The truth is that it tends to be much harder than that and some women even end up settling on generic designs that they don't even 100% like. This happens because too many people are rushing their decision when choosing a tattoo. Here is how to avoid that, as well as some tips to help you find a bunch of the good wrist tattoos for girls that you've been missing out on.
The first tip I want to mention has to do with the way you are probably looking for wrist tattoos for girls. If you are like a large percentage of women (and men for that matter), you are relying solely on search engines to find them. If this is the case, you will want to allow yourself a lot more time to find what you want.
The reason you want to allow more time is because most people will run into a slew of generic, low end artwork that they will need to sift through. Sure, you can find some diamonds in the rough, but it might take a little while to find that those good wrist tattoos for girls. This is because search engines tend to pull up a lot of generic galleries, which have tons of cookie cutter designs.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Wrist Tattoos For Girls"][/caption]
On top of that, you also need to watch out for designs that were not truly drawn to be made into a real tattoo! That's right. A lot of the tattoo galleries that pop up in search engine results will post a large amount of artwork that wasn't even drawn for implementation into a real tat. It's sad because say you find some decent looking wrist tattoos for girls at this gallery and you don't know that it wasn't really drawn to be used that way. If you go to get it inked, there is a very good chance that it's not going to come out anywhere near as good and crisp as it looked on the paper you printed the design on.
Long story short, always take your time when looking for those good wrist tattoos for girls. If you are unsure about an image, but you like the design, bring it to your favorite local artist and ask them is it will need to be redrawn a bit in order to come out perfect as a tattoo. They can always tell and may even redraw it for you.

If you take a bit of time to use internet forums, you can find many hidden tattoo galleries that just may have the quality artwork you are after. The bigger forums on the web are always filled with topics revolving around tattoo artwork. You can use these topics to read about where tons of other people are finding the great artwork.
The last tip is just a reminder and I will end with it. Don't settle on any wrist tattoos for girls that you are not 100% sure about, because it's worth it to take as much time as you need to locate the perfect one.
It's not just about getting to the best artwork when hunting for wrist tattoos girl girls. It's also about finding lots of it. You always, always want to get a nice collection gathered, so you can make informed decisions about which style and design choices you prefer. It's kind of hard to pick the perfect wrist tattoos for girls if you're running into a constant barrage of generic artwork, though, which is what happens to 90% of you.
I am going to tell you the easy way to solve this, because nobody should have to waste time skimming through mounds of cookie cutter junk. There's a good chance that this is all you're seeing, too. Why is that Because most people rely way too heavily on search engines, which is the worst thing to use when you want to locate the sites that have crisp, original, high quality designs. The only wrist tattoos for girls you find at these sites are garbage designs and generic ones. It's like all of the better artwork sites have been stripped from the search results.
The good news is that this isn't going to deter you. You can still find tons of the great galleries out there, so you can pick from the most original, well drawn wrist tattoos for girls. You find these sites by diving into any large forum you can find.

They are all over the place, but just make sure it's a bigger, general type of forum. From there, you want to utilize their handy search tool, which will do you the favor of pulling up hoards of past topics about tattoo artwork. These big forums are littered with them.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Wrist Tattoos"][/caption]
Now it's time to sit back, relax for a bit and skim through some of the topics, leisurely reading some of the posts in there. Artwork lovers are always sharing their knowledge, opinions and inside info, such as the names and links to the great galleries they've found on the web. That's all you need in order to find the best collections of wrist tattoos for girls. It takes real artists to make real tattoo designs, which is the type of site this brings you to.

There was a time, as recent as last year, when search engines were sensational at giving you a nice list of quality galleries. Sadly, this is not the case any longer. All you get now is one low end female tattoo gallery after another. Each of them seems to be stuffed with the same generic, cookie cutter designs that have been floating around the web for eleven or twelve years.
If you truly want a cookie cutter design that hundreds of females have etched on their skin already, this is like a gold mine for you. If you want to get to a female tattoo gallery that has fresh, quality designs, you will probably need an alternate searching method.

Take a look around and see what designs appeal to you. This article will discuss the tribal arm tattoo and related subjects.
When you are looking for the roots of the Hawaiian design, you'll find that it has a close competitor in the form of the tribal tattoos. Tribal tattoos have been popular with people who are interested in tattoo and they are beginning to have the same history and culture that go along with things like the WWII hula dancer. If you are interested in tattoos that have a little bit of history, you'll discover that there are many great options open to you.

Of course, remember that this is a subject that does come with its own brand of controversy. In many ways, it is an argument that is very similar to that which accompanies Kanji Tattoos and Japanese art tattoos. I call this the Disney effect, or essentially, it is what you get when you take the designs from one culture and then do not pay attention to how well you are depicting them. An example would be if you happened to be in China and someone told you about a really great American restaurant. If you wanted food that tasted of home, you might be very interested in what this restaurant had to offer, wouldn't you? Then, when you get there, you realize that the entire place is done up with amazingly tacky art from the fifties and the food tastes extremely strange. It might have some similarities with the food that you were interested in eating, but it would not be the real thing at all. You may feel pretty disappointed, and at the end of the day, it would very much feel as though you were being misrepresented in a very real way.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="Tribal Arm Tattoo"][/caption]
With that in mind, remember that tattoos often have the same controversy. If you get a tattoo that is part of another culture, you are going to want to go to a professional. Don't just have your friend copy a kanji character from a book for you, and don't trust a piece of Internet flash artwork to be exactly what it says it is. Go to a custom tattoo designer and get the research that comes with their service. Since tattoos are more or less permanent then you need to make sure that it is going to be something you can be proud of. Remember that because Hawaiian tattoos are so big, you are going to invest a fair amount of pain, time and money into it. This information should go a long way toward that tribal arm tattoo you have been eying!

Friday, March 25, 2011 at 3:32 AMTattoo - The Concept
Tattoo is used as a form of body modification to create a design, usually permanent, on various parts of body. They can be employed for a multitude of reasons, like tradition, identification, medicinal purposes, or for fashion. The color pigment, which is an indelible liquid, is inserted in the skin in such a way that it colors several layers of it and settles there permanently. The term 'tattoo' was derived from the Polynesian word 'tatau.' This art has been prevalent in various parts of the world, since antiquity.
The History
The evidence of tattooing in Japan traces back to the 5th Century B.C. However, Gishiwajinden, the Chinese historical account, describes face tattooing by the Japanese men in the 3rd Century B.C.! Around the 18th Century A.D., prostitutes used dot like tattoos. In 1720, tattooing of letters or circles on the forehead or on arms was legalized as a punishment for financial crimes and frauds. After the Horeki Era (1751-1764), first pictorial tattoos appeared in Japan. As the modernization of Japan began, tattoos were banned in the year 1872, citing them as a mark of barbarism. The ban was finally lifted in the year 1948.

Several mummies, which date back to 2000 to 5000 A.D., exhumed from Ancient Egypt and the Alps region between Italy & Austria, also carry tattoos. These were simple designs, like lines or dots in monochromatic ink, rather than elaborate patterns. Germany and other parts northern & central Europe also witnessed the use of tattoos among its natives, in the Pre-Christian era. These tribes used organic woad extracts and copper compounds as dying agents. The art of tattooing was prevalent in India since ancient times. Mostly the leaves of a plant known as 'mehendi' were used to create a 'temporary' pigment. The paste of the leaves was used to create elaborate designs on the skin. It was washed-off on drying, leaving behind red-orange patterns by etching through the layers of the skin. The evidence of the use of permanent dyes and iron needles process were also found.

Conclusion
These days, professional studios use motor-operated tattooing tools. The studios lay special emphasis on hygiene concerns. The patterns these studios use vary widely from religious themes to abstract art, names & initials to faces, and so on. Now a days, a large number of tattoo designs are copyrighted, which are later sold as flash (sample designs) directly to parlors, or online to the internet community.
