Modernised Tradition of Tattoo

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Modern Reawakening of the tradition of Tattoo<br /><br />Tattoos have experienced resurgence in popularity in many parts of the world, particularly in North America, Japan, and Europe. The growth in tattoo culture has seen an influx of new artists into the industry, many of whom have technical and fine arts training. Coupled with dvancements in tattoo pigments and the ongoing refinement of the equipment used for tattooing, this has led to an improvement in the quality of tattoos being produced.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/spidey_tattoo_1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">pictures of tattoo superhero<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the 2000s, the presence of tattoos became evident within pop culture, inspiring television shows such as A&E's Inked and TLC's Miami Ink and LA Ink. The decoration of blues singer Janis Joplin with a wristlet and a small heart on her left breast, by the San Francisco tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle, is taken as a seminal moment in the popular acceptance of tattoos as art. As seen in the 2007 movie Eastern Promises, body art again features heavily, showcasing the ink-embroidered torso of a Russian mobster. Tattoos are generally considered an important part of the culture of the Russian mafia.<br /><br /></div><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.filmclips.be/images/superman_M.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />pictures of tattoo superhero<br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://geekstudent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/superman.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />pictures of tattoo superhero<br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/teamrocket1e/clarkwannabe.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />pictures of tattoo superhero<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In many traditional cultures tattooing has also enjoyed resurgence, partially in deference to cultural heritage. Historically, a decline in traditional tribal tattooing in Europe occurred with the spread of Christianity. However, some Christian groups, such as the Knights of St. John of Malta, sported tattoos to show their allegiance. A decline often occurred in other cultures following European efforts to convert aboriginal and indigenous people to Western religious and cultural practices that held tattooing to be a "pagan" or "heathen" activity. Within some traditional indigenous cultures, tattooing takes place within the context of a rite of passage between adolescence and adulthood.<br /></div><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/image/NightDragon_01.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />pictures of tattoo superhero<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://miafene.hu/wp-content/2008/05/hello-kitty-batman-tattoo-2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />pictures of tattoo superhero</div></div>
