Good tattoos are not cheap…cheap tattoos are not good!

Flash tattoos are cheap, but still hugely popular among many people getting tattoos for the first time. They are most likely to be low-quality and poorly drawn. Nearly 90% of the people requiring cover-ups or touch-ups to their tattoos have flash tattoos usually done from some free flash design that has done the rounds of the internet or from some backstreet tattoo parlors.

What’s wrong with flash tattoos? Flash tattoos are anything but original. They are based on ready-made, knocked up designs drawn by unknown ‘artists’ and sold in hundreds if not thousands of copies, worldwide or downloaded free on many websites. It’s very likely if you get a flash tattoo that somebody somewhere has the exact same tattoo, most likely done in the exact same manner and possibly on same area of the body say for example lower back tribal tattoos. Flash tattoos have nothing to do with what tattoo art should be which is creativity and uniqueness and reduces tattooing to little more than tracing.

Flash tattoos lack one other important thing: meaning. They generally have no meaning to the person getting them done. Tattoos should reflect a persons life and should at least have some meaning - not necessarily the meaning of the actual design but what it means to the person receiving it.

This is the reason tattoo removal is big business. Keep in mind that it costs more 10 times the amount to get a tattoo removed as it does to get it done in the first place. So if you are looking for tattoo designs forget flash tattoo designs. If you see free flash tattoo art on some website, or if the tattooist tells you to pick one from a sheet or ‘off the wall’ and doesn’t draw your design free hand right in front of you but copies it on a piece of transparent tracing paper from a notepad go elsewhere.

Always ask to see the tattooists portfolio of custom tattoos before committing to getting one done. Remember - a tattoo is for life. Avoid tattoo flash!

Tribal Tattoo Designs - Why Are They So Popular?

Tribal tattoos have been practiced for thousands of years. Modernpeople still get them done for many reasons such as to belong to a modern ‘tribe’ even if they do it on a subconcious level.

Getting tattooed was also seen as a rite of passage into adulthood. A belief goes that if a girl can’t take the pain of tattooing, she is un-marriageable, because she will never be able to deal with the pain of child birth. If a boy can’t deal with the pain he is considered to be a bad risk as a warrior, and could become isolated from the tribe.

Some primitive tribes use tattooing as a rite of social status. The Maori, of New Zealand use tattooing primarily for this purpose. To the Maori, a person’s Moko designs enhanced their prestige and show transition from one social status to another. At its highest level, Moko designs proclaimed the sacredness of chieftanship.

The Hawaiians are prominent among people who have specific tattoo gods. In Hawaii, the images of the tattoo gods are kept in the temples of tattoo priests. Each tattoo session begins with a prayer to the tattoo gods that the operation might not cause death, that the wounds might heal soon, and that the designs might be handsome. Many modern American tattooist will tell you, “When you should get a tattoo, the tattoo god will tell you that it is time.”

In the 1970’s, American tattooing discovered primitive, tribal tattoos. People wanted simple designs with meaning and they began copying designs, primarily from the islands of the South Pacific. In the past few decades, people of European stock began looking for tribal tattoos of their own origins and created a new form of tattoo commonly known as neo tribal tattoos.

Tattoos as Body Art, Tattoo Designs and the History of Tattooing

The art of tattoo making has prevailed over thousands of years. Tattoos can refer to temporary as well as permanent designs that are made on different parts of the body for a variety of reasons. They are designed as a mark of representation (like tribal tattoos) or a form of fashion or for religious purposes. People also like tattoos designed on their bodies to enhance their personalities and to get appreciation from other people. Tattoos can be designed using different types of materials like ink and mehendi. Tattoos of mehendi are more popular in Asian countries like India.

You can either get permanent tattoos or temporary tattoos designed on your body. In the case of permanent tattoos, the ink is applied below the outermost skin layer. However in case you want to go in for permanent tattoos, you will have to make a strong decision. This is because once the permanent tattoo is designed and then you would like to get it removed will be a very difficult process. You may have to undergo surgery in order to remove the permanent tattoo. Surgeries in most cases are very expensive.

“Temporary tattoos are the in thing today as you can sport different tattoos on different days. Just get a tattoo designed before a party and then become a cynosure of everyone’s eyes. Remove the temporary tattoo at night and next day you can sport a new tattoo.”

There are hundreds of tattoo designs to choose from. In fact there are different types of tattoo designs for boys as well as girls. Girls prefer tattoo designs in the form of butterflies and scorpions while boys prefer designs like those of a dragon. In case you want to get a tattoo design on your body, you can visit a tattoo parlor. See to it that you go to a parlor that is reputed and has a very professional staff. There are temporary tattoos also available on sale. You can out temporary tattoos on your body by following the instructions on the label. However in the case of permanent tattoos you should visit a parlor. You can choose from the hundreds of ready made designs that the designer will show you or you can explain what you have in mind and the designer will design the tattoo for you. So go on, sport a new tattoo today and let your friends appreciate your design.
