It's not really known how long tattooing has been around but it's quite possibly as long as 12,000 years ago and we do know the ancient Egyptians practiced the art of tattooing.

One may think the art of tattooing has its history mainly with men. Not so. Women from various cultures tattooed their bodies for a variety of reasons. Take the women from Borneo. They would mark themselves to show what they were skilled at, such as weaving or a gatherer of medicinal herbs. This communicated their rank as marriage material. In western Asia, girls were marked in such a way as to show their place in society.

Tattooing has gone through its ups and downs over the centuries, has even been banned many times in different cultures for periods of time. It appears that tattooing will never really go away. During periods of a ban it seems to go underground until such time it is free to resurface.

Tattooing, (which is a Tahitian word meaning "to be marked") in some cultures, has only the women being allowed to do the markings.

Today's women are free to make their own choices in regards to tattooing. It is becoming more and more popular to have artistic designs placed just about anywhere on the body. You commonly see tattoos adorning an ankle, or husbands or boyfriends names on a forearm. Some women like to have a private tattoo for their spouse only.

Religious Tattoos

The idea of religious tattoos may seem counterintuitive, for several reasons – not only is tattooing prohibited by some religions, such as Orthodox Judaism, but until recently, tattoos were associated with a vaguely disreputable counterculture that seems at odds with religion.

Religious Tattoos

However, religious symbols – Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Islam or otherwise – are actually quite common tattoo designs. It might surprise you that about 25% of all tattoos in America have a religious meaning

Tattoo Ink

What is Tattoo Ink?
By Jim Johannasen


Ink for tattoos is not like other types of inks. Ink prepared for drawing colorful tattoo designs is actually a suspension of pigment in a carrier solution. Carrier solution's function is to mix the pigment evenly. It also helps in smooth application of the tattoo ink.

Inks for tattoos are inserted inside the skin by puncturing holes. The pigment particles are sufficiently large in size so that they are not broken down by the body's defense mechanism. Since the tattoo ink stays in the second layer of the skin, tattoos stay intact for a lifetime.

Pigments used in tattoo inks can be vegetable dyes, metallic salts or minerals. A mixture of more than one pigment is also used in many cases. Metallic oxides are often used as pigments to add color to the ink. Glycols, vodka and purified water are some of the carrier solutions used to prepare tattoo ink. A good quality carrier solution will help the pigment particles suspend themselves equally throughout. These solutions also act as disinfectants up to some extent. Vodka has been found to be the safest among them all.

Not all inks for tattoos available in the market are safe. Since the tattoo practices and materials are unregulated in most areas, proper care should be taken to buy a particular brand of tattoo ink. Tattoo inks are known to have several unwanted effects such as allergy, sunburns and scarring. While these side effects may appear because of unique biological condition of a customer, quality of ink is also a candidate for suspicion.

Alcohol usage in inks for tattoos should be avoided at all costs. In the presence of alcohol, chances of disease transmission are multiplied manifold. Tattoo artists often mix inks to have a desired color. Such a person should have proper knowledge of sterilization methods and chemical attributes of materials being used in tattooing practice.

Why Tribal Tattoos?

Natural Tribal Tattoos

Tribal Tattoos are extremely popular and can add a distinct 'je ne sais quoi' to a person's character. The real beauty of tribal tattoos is that they don't have to be loud and obnoxious useless you want them to be, but rather subtle and stylish. It is a style that typically capitalizes on solid black lines and coloring (with some exceptions of course) and it is also composed of pointed and curved elements. It's bold and eye catching. In short, it's a pretty wicked looking style!
