Great History Of Body Art Tattoos

<div style="text-align: justify;">The history of body art started with prehistoric humans. In the prehistoric era, belief in a soul, guarded by the spirit of another creature, inspired pictures of that creature on the body. The spirit of that creature guarded, gave safety, and led the soul down the path of life. Body art was a way to keep the spirit close, always.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.abate-wa-epcc.org/images/full_body_tattoo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />The History of Body Art Tattoos<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Throughout time, body art kept its position as a spiritual expression, and it also became an expression of social importance. Native American and African tribes used tattoos and body piercing to express beliefs and stature in society. Chiefs, for instance, had different body markings than an ordinary hunter or any other tribe member. Where a chief may have had a tattoo that symbolized power or resembled a god, a hunter might have had a tattoo that resembled a buffalo or some game he hunted. Piercings and tattoos were signs of accomplishment and membership.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://z.about.com/d/tattoo/1/0/h/m/1/bodytats.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />The History of Body Art Tattoos<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Certain tattoos stood for positions in the community, and in some cases, every member had some type of body marking that indicated their status. For ceremonies, the elite class donned the trappings of their rank and power. Women in the tribes received a special marking for marriage, to signify they were a spouse. The chief had more tattoos and more piercings because of his stature in the tribe, and the older members of the tribe had more because of age. In many cases, the markings had high, religious significance.</div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://k53.pbase.com/o4/00/635600/1/91913560.PTvR1n21.BodyArtTattooAMJamLiverpoolNY.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />The History of Body Art Tattoos<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">As time progressed further, body art stayed as an expression of beliefs, but the beliefs and reasons for body art strayed from religion and community stature. Some Americans believe that<br />body art grew in popularity in the 1960s as a revolt against the formalism of society. Along with that theory, some “flower children” used bodyart to demonstrate the incompleteness of all art. Some got tattoos to express love for another person, orto state a belief about an issue facing society. A quote in an article by Deborah Irmas states that “Tattooing has become an expression of art, a far cry from the times when it was viewed as a ritual of passage in ancient cultures”. Some men, however, got tattoos to demonstrate membership in a gang or group, much like the Native American and African tribes.<br /><br /></div><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa312/midpointer13/tattoo-13.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br />The History of Body Art Tattoos<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Body art is still used in ancient practices and to show status rankings in tribes like the Surma of Ethiopia. For example, in the Surma tribe, young boys still use lip plates. Lip plates are used to stretch the lips and indicate how many cattle a man’s family will receive from his bride’s family when they are married. The tattoos that women receive when they are married include symbols of prosperity and well-being.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Body art has lasted throughout history and is still important in society. The tribes of Africa keep old traditions alive by continuing to use body art, and Americans use body art to identify themselves and as a form of individuality. In a sense, as society has grown and changed, so has body art.<br /><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://media.davidbollt.com/images/gallery/tattoosraven.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The History of Body Art Tattoos</div>

Koi Tattoo Designs

KOI TATTOO - Probably surprising to many westerners is the large of amount of ancient myth that surrounds these beautiful fish in the Orient and their elevated status there.

Mankind has been fascinated by the zodiac for millennia, since we first connected the dots between stars and named the constellations. There’s a real romanticism and magnetism to the idea that our lives and actions are all influenced by the celestial heavens. It’s no wonder then that zodiac tattoo designs abound. Not just in America, but around the world. Nearly every single culture has their own version of the zodiac, and there are many different names for astrology around the globe. However, the zodiac form most popular in the United States, in horoscopes, star charts and general conversation is the Greek/Roman zodiac, which is broken down into 12 different signs, each one representing a roughly one month period. Each "sign" has its own meaning, and people who fall under the same sign of the zodiac generally share common traits, weakness and strengths. If you’re considering getting a zodiac tattoo design, here is a little more information on the 12 different signs of the zodiac to give you an idea of their meaning.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.ilovetattoosandpiercings.com/images/zodiac-tattoos/zodiac-sign-circle-picture.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />The Circle of the Zodiac<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1307/1255859847_4caddfa04d.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />zodiac symbol tattoos<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.instablogsimages.com/images/2007/09/29/zodiac-tattoos10_1822.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">zodiac symbol tattoos</div>

In Loving Memory Tattoos

<div style="text-align: justify;">The most common in loving memory tattoo designs are the religious images like cross and angel. The cross is usually intertwined with a heart or rose symbols or "RIP" initials for rest in peace. The date of the death and name of the person are also included in the whole tattoo images as if re-creating a gravestone on their body. Angels are another preferred image as representation of the person who passed away and are commonly placed on the shoulder blade as if symbolizing guidance or protection. Butterflies are also being used by some since during the old days, they are believed to be reincarnation of the soul who passed away. Other figures that are being utilized for this purpose are stars and cherry blossoms which in Japan stand for fleeting moment in one's life.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.co.randolph.nc.us/sheriff/images/Most_Wanted/michael_cumby_tat3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br /><table style="position: absolute; top: 159px; z-index: 1; left: 15px;" id="titles" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td><div class="errorbox-good"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table>In Loving Memory Tattoos<br /><table style="position: absolute; top: 159px; z-index: 1; left: 15px;" id="titles" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td><div class="errorbox-good"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div>Here are some tips and ideas for choosing that perfect design to commemorate a loved one who passed away:<br />* Coping with the death of a loved one is melancholic enough so it does not necessarily have to be a gloomy "in loving memory tattoos".<br />* It can be anything from a hobby or favorite flower.<br />* It can be an adorned painting or title of a song most frequently sung.<br />* The key is to think of something that will remind you the most of that person you love.<br />* It might be inconceivable to realize that you can't be with this loved one anymore so go for a design that will bring memories to life .<br />* Choose a design that will bring a smile to you instead of sadness.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/-1/lens1908277_1208179460memory_tattoo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />In Loving Memory Tattoos<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://z.about.com/d/tattoo/1/0/x/081504a.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In Loving Memory Tattoos<br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.tattoospot.com/data/media/27/Very_good.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />In Loving Memory Tattoos<br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2322/2271401107_df0eaa8754.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />In Loving Memory Tattoos<br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.pvtnetworks.net/%7Egcs/elijah/memor1.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" /><br />In Loving Memory Tattoos</div>
