Why Tattoo Popularity?

Why The Popularity?

Why the rise in popularity? How did they start and who are the original tattoo artists that brought these bold, bright tattoo designs to us?

If you follow tattooing back to the first part of the century, you will find a few incredibly talented, wonderfully colorful characters. Top among these fine characters is "Sailor Jerry". Story goes, Sailor Jerry began his career traveling around the country on freight trains and tattooing the drifters. He joined the Navy at 19 and sailed the Pacific. If you look at Sailor Jerry's artwork, you can see the influence of Southeast Asia. Sailor Jerry's images have bold deep outlines, bold blocks of color, and large, oversized images.

Old School Tattoo Designs include imagery of stars, hearts and daggers. There are anchors, and nautical themes. What we now would say is "pirate imagery" are all found in Old School Tattoos. Beautiful, busty pin-up girls, suggestive women, skeletons, and skulls. Hearts with daggers through them and roses with massive thorns and ribbons, in bold bright colors with deep outlining. Everything that we now would consider "vintage" is included in the imagery of Old School Tattoos. They have almost a whimsical and animated quality.

Two of Sailor Jerry's students, Ed Hardy and Mike Malone have been extremely influential in keeping interest in, and reviving the Old School Tattoo Designs. Ed Hardy and Mike Malone both use the bold patterns and the bright colors typical in Old School Tattoos. Images are outlined and you can see the Asian influence in the design.

When Sailor Jerry died, he left instructions that one of his students, Ed Hardy or Mike Malone, could buy his tattoo shop in Hawaii. Mike Malone took the offer and with the purchase of the shop, he also got all of Sailor Jerry's artwork. That artwork, or "flash" can now be seen on tattoo shop walls all across America.

Don Ed Hardy, on the other hand, exploded his popularity and brought Old School Tattoo designs to the main stream by licensing his artwork to Christian Audigier. Ed Hardy Designs was formed and Christian Audigier began incorporating the artwork into fashion. This was the first time tattoo design and tattoo artwork has made it to the runways of Paris, New York and Italy. Ed Hardy artwork and tattoo design could now be seen on Rock Stars and Celebrities alike. The Beautiful Old School Tattoo Designs were now part of mainstream culture and highly sought after.

Maybe another reason for the rise in popularity of Old School Tattoos is the simple fact that we have a fascination with "vintage" What's old is new. This happens in fashion all the time. How many times have you heard people say, "I had those gym shoes in 7th grade", or "That blouse is in my moms attic". From brands like Puma, Nike, P.F. Flyers to Levi, there is always a vintage look or design just around the corner. Old School Tattoos are the "vintage" of the tattoo world. They are also the brightest, most colorful, quirky, kitschy and whimsical tattoo designs. If you are looking for a "vintage" look in your tattoo design, beautiful busty pin-up girls, colorful funky skulls, pierced hearts, fat roses with ribbon sayings, check out the Old School Tattoos. And here is a piece of advice from the infamous Lyle Tuttle: "Don't put anyone's name on your tattoo. They are not going to be around forever. Just put "Sweetheart" and call them ALL "Sweetheart"."

Sparrow Tattoo for girls

It seems that first and foremost, sparrow tattoos were originally popular with sailors. Life on the high seas was brutally rough in days gone by, and a lot of sailors that put out to sea never returned. Whether they succumbed to storms, rough waves or other sailors, it was considered a badge of honor just to make it back to port. Enter sparrow tattoos. It became a tradition for a sailor to get one sparrow tattoo for every 5,000 nautical miles of travel. Sparrows were also believed to bring a sailor good luck, so sometimes a seaman would get his tat before heading out in the hopes it would act as a talisman, and help bring him safely home again. Sparrows in nautical themes are often depicted with stars, perhaps as a symbol of following one’s destiny. Sparrow tattoos also have their place in prison culture, where the birds symbolize freedom. Certainly everyone with a sparrow tat isn’t a convict, but some convicts choose sparrows as a statement about their own freedom, especially when they are nearing release. These tattoos are typically worn somewhere on the hands, wrists or arms, but they can really be placed anywhere.

Hip Tattoo For Girls

Getting a hip tattoo is primarily a female tattoo. There are very few men who will get a tattoo here unless it is part of a much larger tattoo design that just happens to extend down to this area. So many of the common female tattoo designs can be used here. Anything from a fairy to an angel to a butterfly can all work well in the area. Often women also like to get more traditionally done hip tattoos in this area. Such as a skull and crossbones, a dragon or even a nautical star. However, due to the placement of the tattoo in such a sensual place it no longer looks to many but interestingly enough very sexy. The juxtaposition of a manly hip tattoo in such a feminine area often works really well. Another consideration is many people like to get symmetrical tattoos in this area and might design a tattoo that worked well on both sides. For example a angel and a devil can work well with one on each side of the hip. Whatever design you choose you will want something that is pretty small and not to large. Since the hip is a small area it will fit better if the tattoo is smaller and therefore you will want it to be not overly intricate either. If you get a really small tattoo that is very intricate you are headed for an ink spot in the future that can become indiscernible.

If you’re going to get a hip tattoo then make sure that it’s the best design that you can get. After all, this is a pretty big decision. And the decision you make now will be with you for the rest of your life. So how should you decide what tattoo design to choose for your hip? Let me give you a few pointers so that you can end up with a hip tattoo as spectacular as the one in the picture. First, find a design that has meaning to you; your child’s name, a religious symbol, a design that inspires you. Maybe even a design that has significant symbolic meaning to you. This is your hip tattoo so you want it to be something unique and very special. Second, make some sketches. Even if you can’t draw very well, you can do a rough drawing or an outline of your idea and a good tattoo artist can turn it into a great tattoo. The last thing you need to do to make your hip tattoo a reality is find a good tattoo artist. Don’t skimp on this part of the process either. Talk to your friends, ask for references and ask to see examples of the artist work. If you follow these three steps you’ll end up with a hip tattoo that you can be proud of for many years to come.

Sexy female tattoos

Tattoos of girls are a common subject matter for tattoos on men and women alike. These can be portraits of loved ones, famous personalities or even fictional characters. They appear in various stages of dress or undress, whichever the case may be. They also can be found anywhere the work will fit on skin.

Pin up girls

Pin-up girls are certainly a frequent subject for tattoo artists. Pin-up girls were voluptuous women whose faces and figures graced the covers and centerfolds of magazines and then were “pinned-up” on boys and even grown men’s walls. These were a frequent talking point in the gas stations and garages where they starred as Miss April or Miss December. These vintage pin-up girls are regularly given a place of honor on someone’s skin to be displayed as a permanent pin-up.

Goddesses are also a common subject for tattoos featuring pictures of girls. Whether they are ancient deities or they are still worshiped today, people have found many ways to incorporate them into tattoos. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, has found her way into many different tattoo designs. Mary, the mother of Jesus, while not being a goddess; is also a very common subject choice for tattoos. Even Eve, the first woman is depicted in many tattoos.

Tattoo girls tattoos

There are quite a few people who actually take tattoos of girls, whether daughters or wives or girlfriends, into the tattoo studio to have them re-created on their skin for a permanent reminder. I have also seen an instance where a couple divorced and the man had his ex-wife tattooed on his arm with horns and glowing green eyes to remind him what a witch she was. He has never remarried so I assume the reminder worked!

 

These can be done in color or in shades of black and grey. Both of these styles can be used to create an uncanny likeness by a good artist. If this is what you wish to do, have a picture re-created on skin, be sure to ask to see previous portraits done by the artist. This is a very personal tattoo and you don’t want a stranger on your skin for eternity! 

There are several common places for pictures of tattoo girls. The upper arm is a common place for faces, the calf is a common location for a full body portrait, and the back is typically reserved for murals and multiple figures. This is not meant to imply that these are set in stone, a persons own individuality is displayed by the uniqueness of their skin art.

best star tattoos ideas

If you are someone who feels a special attachment to the heavens, the moon, and the stars, you may feel that a star shaped tattoo design is perfect for you. The key is to find a star tattoo design that is really unique and is truly personalized for you. 

So, how do you do this? Well, here are some of the best star tattoos ideas to consider which will help to make the design your own and symbolize your true self. An eight pointed star, known as the cross of St. John, and also represents the emblem of the Knights of Malta, can be traced back to one of the most popular religious organizations during the crusades. You could opt for the seven pointed star as it has varied meanings and can represent different periods of life or feelings. 

If commonly represents a symbol for being a perfected man. But watch out, it can also represent your childhood, the whimsical or can be a fairy star. Think this star tattoo design over very carefully if the meaning is important to you. The tattoo stars in the picture are really impressive and I like the way the design travels up the leg from the foot to the calf. It’s very impressive and pretty.

Here are some more tattoo stars for us to check out. The difference here of course being that we also have the initial D among these stars. Obviously that initial is going to stand for the name of the person with the tattoo or a person very close to them. Most likely it is the name of this person and then it would make sense that this person thinks of themselves as some sort of undiscovered star, hence the initial with the stars. Sort of like saying so and so is a star, even if they are the only one that knows they are a star, that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with considering ones self a star. In some way or another, at one time or another, almost every human being alive is a star to someone else. If you think about that you will see it to be true. And if someone is not then they are still very young or have wasted their life terribly. There’s not a whole lot of in between there.

These two little tattoo stars with the capital D next to them could simply mean the Star of David, which of course is the universal symbol for Judaism.

Tribal tiger tattoos

Tribal tiger tattoos can be an excellent way to combine your appreciation of tribal work and the symbolism of this magnificent cat. With so many kinds of types of cats and so many different styles of tribal work the possibilities are nearly endless.

Tiger tattoo designs

In Asia tattoos hold significance other than for appearances. Tattoos are said to be the link between the physical and spiritual bodies of a human being. Most people believe tattoos are an outward manifestation of the inner being; therefore the tiger is representative of a forceful nature equal only to the dragon. There are 5 tigers that rule the cosmic forces in Chinese lore.

Tiger tattoo

* The RED tiger is the symbol of the south, of summer and fire.

* The BLACK tiger is the symbol of the north, of winter and water.

* The BLUE tiger is the symbol of the east, of spring and vegetation.

* The WHITE tiger is the symbol of the west, of fall and all metals.

* The YELLOW tiger, the greatest of the 5 is the ruler of the Earth and everything on it.

  
There are also 5 different sub-species.

* BENGAL

* SUMATRAN

* SIBERIAN

* INDOCHINESE

* SOUTH CHINA

These could easily be incorporated into a very distinct, one of a kind tattoo steeped in symbolism.

One of the twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac is the tiger. Those born in the year of the tiger are said to be colorful, unpredictable, powerful and passionate. The zodiac symbol done in tribal tattoo  style would make for an eye - catching conversation piece. This tattoo could practically be as small or large as you wish it to be as the zodiac symbol can be made smaller without losing too much picture quality.  

To create the tribal tiger tattoos one could begin by marrying traditional tribal work with traditional Japanese (In Asia, the tiger is the master of all big cats.), this would be a very colorful and detailed piece to show the best of both styles. The traditional Japanese work is done in vivid color and detail, while traditional tribal is single color; (typically dark, as the original tribal work was done with whatever suitable pigment could be found.) with varying degrees of detailed patterns.

These tattoos work very well with the cats natural black stripe pattern, making them re-creatable to an almost life-like degree. The amber/golden, almost molten color of the tiger-eye would be striking against an all black tribal piece. Putting a little extra effort and thought will give you a showpiece to enjoy and show off to others for a lifetime.

Tribal lion tattoo design

The tribal lion tattoo is chosen by people who have placed a lot of time and thought into the design of their tattoo. With it being the king of beasts, it can and does represent many character traits. Some of them being:

· WISDOM   · AUTHORITY   · COURAGE   · JUSTICE

· POWER     · CUNNING       · NOBILITY   · ROYALTY

Tattoo lion Leo

This is one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. He is the Leo, the sign of the sun (26^th July – 23^rd Aug.). The astral symbols are very popular in tribal tattoo so it should be easy to combine these styles into some stunning tribal tattoos. While the typical colors for tribal work are dark, any colors can be chosen to add to the uniqueness of your piece.

This design also has a great religious significance, with Jesus being called “the Lion of Judah” and the tribe of Judah being symbolized by a lion. Even today the lion of Judah is on the emblem of Jerusalem. So it is not uncommon for people to express their spirituality through a combination of lions and tribal tattoo.

These tattoos can be single design with its mane being entirely tribal or multiple lions with their limbs or manes being the tribal design. Armbands Tattoo and sleeves tattoo or partial sleeves tattoo are the most popular locations for tribal work, with backs tattoo, calves and thighs coming close.

A tribal lion tattoo can also be designed as a memorial for a loved one.   Especially if your loved one was born under the sign of Leo or if this person had the same qualities attributed to the great beast. These can be practically as small or large as you want them, however with smaller patterns there is some distortion of animals and tribal work.  

Lion Tattoo are also seen as dream symbols as they were nocturnal hunters and walkers of the night. One idea to meld the tribal style with a lion would be to place a lion inside a dream catcher. With the right color choices this could be a very eye-catching design.

A little research will take you a long way towards getting the tattoo that is just what you are looking for. Don’t get discouraged on your search; every truly unique tattoo was born in a process from life event to application of the tattoo that immortalizes it. These can become permanent tributes to the major events of your life much like the tribes of old told the story of their lives on their skin.

Tattoos for girls Ultimate Tattoo Collection
 For the first half century after tattooing became commonplace there were few tattoos for girls. In fact, except for the small handful of rebellious women, many girls got tattooed at all.
  But, all of that changed about twenty five years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so the girl tattoo became more common and acceptable. Nowadays you see a whole genre of tattoos for girls. I would say the list of the top tattoos for girls would have to include butterflies tattoo, fairies tattoo, stars tattoo, hearts tattoo, flowers tattoo, dolphins tattoo and fish tattoo. But other popular tattoos for girls are tribal tattoo, Celtic tattoo and Zodiac tattoo designs. And the prime location for these tattoos would be the wrist tattoo, leg tattoo, lower back tattoo and even the breast tattoo. The tattoo in the picture is a perfect example of a tattoo for girls. It features a butterfly tattoo that is done with plenty of color and shading. It’s placed on this women’s breast in just the perfect position to highlight both the design and the natural curvature of her breast. I bet if you put your mind into it you could also find a design that fits your style and body shape.

Tattoo Placement: It Matters!

Tattoo Placement: It Matters!

We hear everywhere what tattoos are for. Many years ago, they are mainly for spiritual reasons, to ward off evil spirits, to achieve certain powers, to heal a sickness, or to indicate status in a community. Now, they are mainly for self-expression and vanity, although some may still claim to have reasons similar to those of our ancestors, which makes tattoos a lot more interesting.

We might think that the appearance and design of the tattoo is everything. Well, you might also want to consider that placement of the actual tattoo on your body counts a lot. Let’s say, a star tattoo, when placed on the ankle can come across as sweet and innocent. But when the same star tattoo is placed on the belly, it becomes sensual. And when it is placed on the arm, it portrays you as someone tough, no matter how innocent-looking your star tattoo is.

However, for some people, the locations of the tattoos on their body, does not have to do with how it would be interpreted by the general public but by how their employers would react to it. Sometimes, tattoos have to be placed in areas where they could easily be concealed. This applies to professionals whose careers require them to be tattoo-less or those who work in companies wherein visible tattoos are considered to be inappropriate.

For these people, facial tattoos on men are definitely a no-no. For women, it is acceptable if they are there for cosmetic reasons. But in these cases, it is the women that have lesser options for placement of tattoos since men can have a lot of them covered with their clothing. Women cannot have elaborate tattoos on their legs and arms unless they are in men’s suits. However, an inconspicuous tattoo of a tiny fairy or a symbol or a star tattoo would be considered interesting instead of inappropriate.

Also, since tattoos are permanent, you have to consider the changes your body would undergo as the years pass. A cute and sexy star tattoo on the belly may not look as good when you either lose or gain weight because, by then, it would be out of symmetry. When you think of a tattoo design, try to see in your mind’s eye how it would look like 10 or more years later on the part of your body you’re thinking of putting it on. The biceps, the back of the shoulder, and the lower back do not stretch nor shrink as much as the rest of our body does. Therefore I say, these areas would be perfect for tattoo placement; and they’d be easier to conceal.

So, when considering about getting a tattoo, it’s not just about the right size and design. Location matters. Consider what career you’re going to be getting into after college, or how it would look like when you’re old and wrinkly. You can’t just easily erase them when you find out later you put them in the wrong place. To save you a lot of trouble later, make sure you got everything covered.

Popular Tattoos For Men & Women

Popular Tattoos For Men and Women
When you walk into a tattoo parlor, you are instantly greeted with eye-catching designs filled with color and complexity.  Unless you have already decided on a design, it can be very difficult to select one on the spot.  Even if you have a selected design already in mind, the artist may present you with varying possibilities that will present you with a difficult decision. 

Before arriving for your tattoo, it is a good idea to have a selection of designs that you are interested in.  Men and women will naturally select different images whereas the gentleman may prefer a masculine and powerful tattoo and the woman may prefer something dainty and pretty.  For example, a gentleman may prefer a large tattoo with a lot of color or something that symbolizes the love that he shares for his wife or girlfriend.  It is advisable that tattoo recipients give careful consideration to personalized tattoos.  Why?  If the relationship ends later, the tattoo will still remain unless it is surgically removed.  Therefore, many gentlemen are electing to have symbols that remind them of something that they enjoy, such as a career, a hobby or a symbol that means something special to their life. 

Women who decide to have a permanent tattoo will often select a dainty image, such as a heart, butterfly or floral depiction.  These are small and can be placed anywhere, but most commonly are located on the hip, ankle or back of the shoulder area.  Women typically select a smaller tattoo in an effort to make a statement of beauty and yet something that draws attention to a certain area, such as the leg or hip.

Even with these thoughts in mind, a tattoo is a very personal thing and must be a reflection of something that is important to the recipient.  Therefore, there really isn’t a universal ‘man’ or ‘woman’ tattoo.  Upon discussing various choices with the artist, a tattoo recipient will gain a better understanding of options and design choices.  In addition, they will be able to browse through an image book or folder that will show a number of different tattoo choices, which will enable them to better decide which is right for them.

Questions To Ask A Tattoo Artist Before Getting A Tattoo

Questions To Ask A Tattoo Artist Before Getting A Tattoo

If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, take the time to talk with your tattoo artist.  During the conversation, make sure to have a list of questions that you would like answered prior to moving forward with your decision.  Below are a few questions that you should consider asking:

How long have you been in business?  This is important in determining how professional the work will be and what type of reputation the business has.  If the tattoo studio is a member of the Better Business Bureau, check out their record to see about any complaints that have been initiated within the previous 36 months. 

What are your qualifications?  Before you see a doctor, isn’t it important to know that they are qualified?  Absolutely.  The same is true with a tattoo artist.  Even though the two professions are completely different, there are similarities in that both involve the use of needles and both professionals must be knowledgeable in their approach at sterilizing their equipment.  An individual’s qualifications and training history will tell you a lot about what to expect.

Do you guarantee your work?  If the final image isn’t exactly as you had hoped for, will it be fixed at no charge or what is the process if you are unhappy with the tattoo?  Is there any type of refund policy?  These are all important in determining service after the sale.

Can I see samples of your work or do you have references?  If you want to know about the quality of work, you should always ask for references in any business. 

How much will this cost?  Before agreeing to a specific tattoo design, you will want to know the full cost involved.  Large tattoos can be very costly, but even the smallest design can be expensive if you are on a budget.  Do yourself a favor and avoid any surprises - ask about the costs upfront.

How many tattoos have you done?  This will give you a good indication of the experience level and how much design work the artist has done.

What is the likelihood of an infection and how may I prevent one from occurring?  Every good tattoo artist can provide this information.  He/she should be able to tell you what to do to lessen the likelihood of an infection and what to do if you suspect that one may be developing.

Is there anyone who should not get a tattoo, such as someone with certain medical conditions?  This is important, especially if you are asking because you have a condition that concerns you.  Individuals with thin blood, for instance, may be more cautious about anything that involves breaking the skin or needles.  The same is true of individuals with other conditions, which should be addressed prior to agreeing to be tattooed. 

If I have a fear of needles, is there any way to help me through the process of getting a tattoo?  Don’t feel bad if this is you.  A lot of people have a fear of needles, which is a device used in creating tattoos.  If you are afraid, it never hurts to explain this to the tattoo artist beforehand so that he/she can try to take extra steps to make you feel at ease or to make the experience a less painful one for you.

How long will the tattooing process take?  This is important, especially if you are getting a tattoo on your lunch break.  All kidding aside, you will want to know how long to expect the process to take so that you can plan the rest of your day accordingly.

This article is to be used for informational purposes only.  The information contained herein is not intended to be used in place of, or in conjunction with, professional medical advice.  Before deciding on getting a tattoo or having one removed, the patient must consult a licensed medical doctor for medical advice and/or to determine the best course of action for his/her individual health care needs.
