Dragon Tattoos - Tips For Finding the Perfect Dragon Tattoo

Men who love to have their bodies inked are drawn to dragon tattoos. This design simply appeals to them. People who have no background about dragons may find this bizarre, but to those who know most, if not all the things about dragons, they would really search far and wide for the perfect design for them.

Dragon Tattoos

For those who do not have a hunch of the significance of dragon tattoos and their symbolism, allow me to share an overview. Aside from the obvious reason that dragons are strong and mystical, they have alluring qualities, based on folklore and myth that have made them the most sought after designs by people. Examples of these qualities are good luck, charm, source of wealth, courage and bravery, power, and freedom. And because of these qualities also, an equal number of women have them on their body.

Dragon Tattoos

Now, knowing the general idea about dragons is not the end of the quest. That was just the beginning in finding the perfect dragon tattoo for you. You may wonder why? Aren't all dragons supposed to be the same? The answer is no. Not all dragons are the same. There are two types of dragons and each type has different breeds, depending on their origins. Because of that, the first tip in finding your great dragon pattern is to know the answer to the question, what kind of dragon are you? You have to know if you are a western type of dragon or an eastern type.

Dragon Tattoos

To differentiate these two, you have to know their characteristics. Western dragons are known to be fierce, evil and mercilessly throw fire to anyone living. Eastern dragons on the other hand, are good and serve as guardians. The best known eastern dragons are Chinese, Japanese and Korean dragons. All of them have their specific virtues that are loved by people.

The second point you need to consider is the place where you ink your design. The area where you tattoo your dragon is important. The spot can give life to your dragon. From the shoulder going to the front is a good place to animate your dragon design. This can be good for men. The lower back is also excellent. Both men and women can use this part of their body. The final tip is the color of your ink. Dragons are trademarks of certain cultures. Black ink is safe but putting additional colors into the design is acceptable as well. However putting too many colors may no longer be as perfect as you wanted your dragon tattoo to be. And so, it is also wise to ask the opinion of the tattoo artists because they are experts in this field

Henna Simple Designs - How to Apply Henna Tattoos

How to Apply Henna Tattoos (1)

Are you infatuated with henna simple designs? I know I am. The delicate and intricate lines with the impressive reddish brown hue are beautiful. And better yet, they're temporary, making it possible to try different designs and patterns later.

This technique of body art is a tradition that symbolizes beauty and has been passed down for centuries by the women who practice it. There are even references in the bible. Henna designs can be found today in India, Sudan, and Pakistan.

But the use of henna simple designs is no longer isolated to a few countries. It has gained popularity in the West and is widely recognized and accepted as a form of expression. You can now find celebrities like Prince and Madonna displaying their elaborate body art.

How to Apply Henna Tattoos (3)

The easiest way to create henna simple designs is to do it yourself. The leaves of the henna plant are dried and then ground into a powder, the powder is then mixed with a liquid like hot water, eucalyptus oil, or clove oil, and made into a paste. The paste is put into a cone or applicator bottle, which is then used to apply the paste to the skin. The longer the design or pattern is allowed to dry, the darker the stain will be.

Traditionally henna simple designs were only applied to the hands and feet of the brides the night before their wedding. Now it can be found on body parts that are visible. Some popular spots are the back, stomach, shoulders, forehead, neck, and arms in addition to the hands and feet.

My wife and I were out for dinner the other night and our waitress was an attractive looking young woman who I judged to be in her early twenties. She was very personable and knowledgeable, but she was wearing a short blouse that revealed her midriff and showed a tattoo just above her rear end, and, on her front, there appeared to be something drawn from her belly down to her public area (sorry I couldn't verify this for you). I'm sure she thought this was all rather attractive and I must admit it caught my eye, but frankly I was disappointed that a charming young woman found it necessary to defile her body in order to get someone's attention.

I've never understood the need to paint the human body with tattoos, Some say its nothing more than an example of self-expression. Actually, I think its more of a cry for attention than anything else. Some people try to hide their tattoos, but more and more people today proudly display their body art, regardless of the symbolism or what is printed on them. To me, its kind of like sitting next to a kid at a traffic light with his music blaring. I don't know who he is trying to impress other than himself. It most certainly isn't me.

Tattoos (3)

When I was growing up, I only knew of two men who had tattoos on their arms, my uncle and my barber. Both got their tattoos while serving in the military, but spent several years thereafter trying to have them removed as they found them to be an embarrassment among their friends as they grew older. I've also met a couple of people who survived the concentration camps of World War II and now bear identification numbers tattooed on their arms. In other words, tattoos are not something my generation or those that preceded me hold in high regard. But today's younger generation doesn't think this way and whimsically have their bodies painted at the drop of a hat. Recently, a group of underage girls from the local high school were caught trying to get tattooed at a local parlor (down here in Florida, minors cannot be tattooed without a parent's or guardian's permission).

Years ago, tattoo artists struggled to make ends meet. But with the recent wave of tattoo popularity, they have been elevated to near celebrity status. Heck, there has even been a reality show featuring tattoo artists on A&E. I find interviewing people painted with a lot of tattoos and body pierced like a porcupine to be rather amusing. They certainly do not command any credibility with me, but the kids sure seem to love them.

I guess I have always equated tattoos to a person's intelligence level. The more tattoos they have, the lower the IQ they appear to have. I don't know where I get this image from; maybe it was from watching a few prison documentaries where the inmates are interviewed, all of which are covered in tattoos. Somehow I don't find such people rather credible, nor are they anyone I want to be associated with, which is probably why I'll never get a tattoo. But then again, I guess I'm showing my age.

Tips For Getting Your First Tattoo (3)

Tips For Getting Your First Tattoo (1)

Are you at the point that you are pretty sure that you want to get your very first tattoo, but don't really know which one to get? I've been there and know exactly how it can feel to be looking for the first tattoo design that you actually want on your body for the rest of your life. Some people such as myself spend a lot of time thinking up different tattoo designs, or spend a lot of time looking through books trying to find something that's unique and fun enough to actually want on our bodies. It was a priority for me when I was getting my first tattoo, and really you should make finding high quality art a priority of yours as well. It is not as if you can just rub a tattoo off if you don't like how it looks, so try to get professional art the first time. I'm not referring to the tattoo artist mind you, but rather the picture that he or she will use as a guide for the tattoo that they will be putting on your body. There are some other considerations as well that you should think about before getting your first tattoo.

Tips For Getting Your First Tattoo (2)

The first decision you need to make is often the hardest for people, which is why I spend so much time talking about it. I know I struggled with it as well, but you need to figure out which set of tattoo designs you really like for your first tattoo. I've heard a lot of horror stories about people getting tattoos from artwork they had a friend draw or that they picked out of a book in the tattoo shop and hating it a couple months later. My advice here is to avoid all of that generic low quality artwork. You would really want to look at the tattoo designs that a professional can make you. It's not expensive at all to do that either.

If you think about it, you can buy a single painting from an artist for a couple thousands dollars, but getting tattoo designs is far cheaper. In fact, they are so cheap you might be really surprised. You can typically get a lot of artwork for about $20. That's a steal when you consider how much time the artist spends producing such high quality artwork. For the price, it was a "No-brainer" for me. For literally pennies on the dollar I got a bunch of ideas and instead of not being able to find something I liked, I almost now had too many possibilities. That's a good position to be in, and it's for that reason I'm convinced that getting a high quality piece of artwork from a professional artist should be your first step. It really only makes sense to when you consider how little it costs and that you will have that tattoo on your body forever.

Women Rib Tattoos - Sexy Body Tattoo Design For Women

Sexy Body Tattoo Design For Women

If you are a tattoo enthusiast, women rib tattoos are considered to be the sexiest location to get a body ink. However, getting a tattoo at the side of your rib is not for the faint hearted. Side rib tattoo is being done on the part which is very close to the bone, the pain during the tattoo process will be more intense because there is less flesh to cushion the penetrating needle.

With a big design, most probably it will take you more than one session to complete the tattoo. Therefore, a girl getting a tattoo on her rib can be a very long and painful experience.

Cherry Blossom Tattoos - What Do They Mean

Cherry Blossom Tattoos

Cherry blossom tattoos are some of the most popular tattoo designs for women currently. The beauty and delicate nature of a cherry blossom can't be denied. In both Japanese and Chinese cultures the cherry blossom is full of symbolic meaning and significance. Before deciding to get a cherry blossom tattoo design it makes sense to understand the symbolism and deep cultural connections and meaning that this tattoo might hold. After all the best tattoo designs are ones that hold a great deal of symbolic significance. Typically the tattoo that is universally regretted is the one that was gotten while out with a bunch of friends just because they were getting one. So don't fall into the trap and regret your tattoo later in life. Instead if you are planning on getting a tattoo at least take the time to research the symbolism and meaning behind it and see if it speaks to you and if the ideas are significant in your life.
