The Most Popular Unique & Free Tattoo Designs

Such a great art work on your neck

noreply@blogger.com (Harvard) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:50:00 +0000

Tattoos no longer have the shock value they once had. With reality TV shows like Miami Ink on TLC, one could argue they have gone main stream. The stigma of tattoos has greatly declined over the years and has crossed both economic and social boundaries. The following are some interesting statistics:

A Harris Poll done in 2003 revealed that 16% of Americans had at least one tattoo. That's roughly 40 million people. That's up from 6% back in 1936 when only 10 million Americans had tattoos.
A survey done by Esquire magazine in 2002 stated that 1 in 8 Americans has a tattoo.
According to a study in 2005 from The American Society of Dermatological Surgery, out of the people that they treated for laser and light therapy, only 6% were getting tattoos removed.
US News & World Report says there are more than 20,000 tattoo parlors operating in the United States and on the average; a new parlor is opening every day.

One segment of body art that is gaining popularity is the "always visible" tattoo. These include tattoos on the neck and face that can't always be covered up by clothing. Most neck tattoos are placed on the side of the neck or the back of the neck which is known as the nape. An owner of a tattoo parlor in New York says 20 - 30 percent of the tattoos he does are on the hand, face, or neck.

A question often asked when deciding on getting a neck tattoo is will it be more painful than getting a tat on other parts of the body? Because the skin on the back of the neck is thinner, the needle naturally comes closer to the bone which does make getting a neck tattoo a little more painful. Of course, it all depends on the individual's physical and psychological makeup.

A tattoo usually heals in 2-3 weeks but a neck tattoo might take a little bit longer. This is due to the motion created by the movement of the head which causes the neck tattoo to scab quickly. As a result, you might need to re-ink a neck tattoo to fix some of the patchiness. Luckily, these re-ink sessions are not as painful as the initial session.

Cherry Blossoms Tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (Harvard) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:05:00 +0000

Cherry blossom tattoo designs are exceedingly popular. Women adore these wonderful designs and their appreciation isn't based on beauty alone. In addition to being an eye-catching option, they also convey powerful positive messages.

The first part of the attraction to cherry blossom tattoo designs is obvious to everyone. They are exceptionally beautiful. The cherry blossom flower is one of nature's most engaging creations. Blossoms are both striking and delicate. There is something wonderfully soft and feminine about them, making them both aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for display in every situation.

The popularity of these tattoo designs also stems from the symbolism attached to cherry blossoms. Interestingly, these fantastic flowers can be interpreted in two different--but equally meaningful--ways.

Traditionally, the Japanese view cherry blossoms as a reminder of just how short and beautiful life can be. Cherry trees blossom for a relatively short time and do so only once annually. The appearance of these awe-inspiring flowers is rare and underlines the way life itself can be brief, yet meaningful. A cherry blossom tattoo can tell the world that you value every moment, do not take life for granted, and are committed to making the most of your time. That is a powerful message.

In Chinese culture, the flowers of the cherry tree tell a different story. They are closely linked the idea of feminine power and to the idea of true love. This, too, makes a cherry blossom design very communicative. Instead of being just a pretty flower, it can also be a celebration of one's place in the world as a woman or of the power of love.

If you are trying to choose the perfect tattoo design, you may want to consider cherry blossoms. These Asian-inspired patterns combine the strong appeal of tremendous visual beauty with an opportunity to express some very important and meaningful beliefs.

What Do You Think, Tattoos on your fingers?

noreply@blogger.com (Harvard) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:30:00 +0000

The arm has always been one of the most preferred body locations for a tattoo. Years ago before tattoos gained so much popularity, sailors and bikers would display them on their upper arm so that they could be easily seen. The old school tattoos such as pin up girls, motorcycles and mom tattoos were proudly worn back then and still are now. Arm tattoos will never go out of style and it's easy to see why.

Getting inked on your arm is still very popular, but the designs have changed over the years. Old school tattoos are still desired, however there are so many more design choices available to choose from today. Tattoo parlors have books and walls covered with designs, the internet is swamped with online galleries and with so many talented tattoo artists, the sky is the limit for an arm tattoo. Some of the more common arm tattoos are tribal and celtic designs and barbed wire wrapped around the arm is another popular choice.

If you want the ultimate in tattoo designs, you might want to consider a sleeve tattoo. These wrap around the entire arm and come in three lengths. Full sleeves start at the shoulder and go down to the wrist. Half sleeves also start at the shoulder, but end at the elbow. The quarter sleeve starts at the elbow and ends at the wrist. These large detailed and sometimes complex designs take several hours to complete, so you will be looking at many visits to the tattoo parlor until it is finished.

Arm tattoos aren't just for men as many women choose to have them as well. Tattoos placed in this area are also one of the least painful locations on your body for a tat. This is because the arm has more muscle and flesh than some of the other areas of the body, which makes it a perfect place for a tattoo.

The 57 tattoos sported by Oetzi, the 5300-year-old Tyrolean assertive mummy, were fabricated from broiler charcoal that independent glittering, bright adored rock crystals, according to an accessible abstraction in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The assurance supports above-mentioned analysis that the tattoos were associated with acupuncture treatments for abiding ailments suffered by the iceman, whose arctic physique was begin appreciably able-bodied preserved in the Similaun Glacier of the Alps in 1991.

The allegation as well advance how aged humans were tattooed in the canicule afore bartering inks and electric tattooing machines.

I can brainstorm that they acclimated some acicular material, maybe thorns, and biconcave it into the charcoal and again broken into the skin, or fabricated scars and put the charcoal into the anguish after wards insertion, acceptance the anguish to alleviate so that the black actual backward there," advance columnist Maria Anna Pabst told Discovery News.

Using optical microscopy and assorted able electron microscopy techniques, Pabst, a assistant in the Institute of Cell Biology at the Medical University of Graz, and her colleagues analyzed several of Otzi's tattoos. Tattoos called for this abstraction abide of band markings, as able-bodied as a characteristic cross-shaped boom on the iceman's appropriate knee.

"The tattoos accept a aphotic dejected color, anticipation from the soot," she added. "There are groups of one, two, three, four and seven boom curve alongside to the longitudinal arbor of the body, and so they're alongside to Chinese acupuncture meridians."

The cross-shaped boom on his knee, and addition one on his larboard ankle, aswell lay over Chinese acupuncture "trigger points," the advisers believe. Strengthening their altercation is the actuality that the soot-made arrangement are amid on locations of the iceman's physique not archetypal for boom displays, abbreviating the angle that they served a added ornamental, artful function.

Prior analysis shows Oetzi did ache from a array of ailments that ability accept benefited from acupuncture. These included a bad back, decline of the hip, knee and ankle, and "severe belly disorders," primarily acquired by whip worm, an abdominal bacteria that can could cause diarrhea.

Before the more recent studies on this mummy, historians believed the ancient acupuncture took abode in China about 3,000 years ago. Since the assertive is abundant older, Pabst and her colleagues now anticipate this ameliorative address may accept been apart apparent by abounding altered aged European and Asian cultures.

It's as well still accessible that tattooing and acupuncture originated in East Asia, with the ability of this convenance overextension to the Alps arena able-bodied before the iceman's lifetime.

Frank Bahr, admiral of the German Academy of Acupuncture, aboriginal fabricated the tattoo-acupuncture affiliation on the assertive after wards belief a cartoon of the tattoos and their adjustment on Oetzi's body.

Bahr told Discovery News, "The a lot of absorbing affair about the accomplished assertive adventure is that even today I would amusement a accommodating with about 90 percent of the aforementioned credibility as the tattoos on the iceman, if this accommodating were to accept the aforementioned diseases."
