THE PERFECT TATTOO




Look for the perfect tattoo for some people can be difficult. If you are wondering what are the things you look for in a tattoo, many were undecided about the first tattoo. However, the reason for the perfect tattoo being hard to find is the fact that it is a design that is going to be on your skin for life. Some tattoo artist recommends designs to their consumers that are close to their personality. For example, most women would be seen with a flower, because of the beauty it symbolizes. On the other hand, a person could have personal significant meanings to a symbol. If a person is also unsure of a design for a tattoo, research shows that some can e found on the internet, in magazines, and even recommend by a friend that have a particular design. Tattooing is very popular but every tattoo seen on a person has a meaning to them. Things close to heart can help someone choose a design meant for them. There is not a right or wrong tattoo to get but there would be no purpose to get a tattoo that has no meaning to you. Almost 1500 years ago, tribes even had body art but they also had meanings to them. For example if boy was becoming a man, there were body art that they had to receive to indicate so. Then tattoos were worn as badges like on soldiers. When picking a tattoo never rush into it just to have one. Because tattoos are permanent, they should be thought through carefully and well. I believe those who wear body art should be proud of their design or designs and because of the meaning, it has to them. It is their perfect tattoo and no one else. Even with the same design, each tattoo is different because of their meanings.








Economy N Tattoos

Are Tattoos the only thing not being affected by the economy’s slump? After reading articles and researching, it has been said that allot of tattoo businesses has mad a drastic increase in work other than the thought of closure. Throughout the country there are companies that have been around for decades that are laying off jobs or even closed down due to the change in the economics today. But why is it that there is no dreadful challenges for tattoo artist? I think I may have a answer. In order to be a tattoo designer or to even own a tattoo parlor, a person is to have insurance licenses, supplies, and many important things before they can just get started with their art. A pound of money has to be invested for a good and durable company to be run. Tattooing is not a small business at all, and there are millions of artist known for wonderful jobs. When the recession came, tattoo artist made recession marketing by allow consumers to come to knock on their door. In other words, many artist was allowing themselves to do business out of their own homes. The reason for doing business out of a home themselves was to cut down on owing money for parlor rent or booth rent. The tattoo artist would make more and more money and not lose much. Money would only come in need for new or updated supplies. The economy hasn’t affect the tattooing business because of the different ways an artist can go about continuing their service. There isn’t a lot of shortcuts that your ordinary companies can take to keep from closing the business they have worked hard for. But many doesn’t know that the tattoo business is much bigger and successful than it seems.

MY REFLECTION (owed)




When first assigned this bog by m humanities teacher I must say I was not very much interested in it at all. My blog was base on tattoos and other types of body art, and their impact on the world today. As I began the process of my blog, I learned a lot more than just tattoos and their impact. For example, I learned that there are many different types of tattoos, that a lot have a great amount of history behind them, and have a huge connection with all kinds of cultures. I was so amazed at the amount of things that I was learning about my subject that it influenced me to carry on with my researching. I never knew that the history of tattoos goes as far as 15000 years back. Moreover, that many ancient civilizations participated and the use of tattooing. Back in time my research tells that tattoos was use to symbolize different things for a person. Some tribe used tattoos to show off accomplishments, or even aging. However, I must tattoos then in now has totally token a sharp turn. Since a young age tattoos have always drawn my attention and interest and completing this blog only drawn me further into learning more. I even had dreams of having many tattoos myself. I know that sounds funny doesn’t it? But completing this blog help me learn something day after day. I was really blinded by the actual purpose of this assignment .Now that I did my research on this topic it has given me the feel of how to complete a blog on a subject. In addition, this blog has shown me what a blog even looks like. I am proud to say I have learned a lot from my blog about tattoo and was able to share it all. I must say I really enjoyed do it all.

THE ART IN TATTOOS

Behind tattoos is a pound of history from many different cultures. For example Egypt, hawai, Tahiti, japan, china, and even Africa. The difference between the meaning of tattoos then and now is huge. Back in history tattoos were used as symbols of certain cultures or honors, but today they are used as an art and way to express ones feelings. Both men and women have popular designs that could be seen today like there name or maybe a love ones name. A woman may be seen with tattoos that symbolize passion or happiness; also a feminine design may consist of a flower (rose). The lower back, hip, or ankle is common locations for a woman to place a design. Now that we are sure of things about women and tattoos, let’s take a trip to tattoos and men. There are numbers of designs that a man today would be seen showing to the world today. There are designs such as flames, skulls, crosses, snakes eagles, and ect.The follow
Designs symbolize manhood, sorrow, death, toughness, and for some hate. When looking at a persons body art the view may first have deep quick thoughts of what the body art may represent or in other words symbolize. There are also some body art that would even have a full told story behind them. As everyone know there are many types of art both happy and sad, not all art have a happy theme or meaning about it just like stories. Out in the world are many that decide to take a piece out of their l life and design their own body art. This is a way of showing that this is something that they would like to stay with them throughout their entire life. Or maybe at time motivate them. Tattoos are everywhere you look today because even centuries ago the were carried on by sailors, warriors, and now normal everyday people.Im glad to say that though tattoos are painful and were once considered a symbol of evil, tattoos also have a ways of good.But I must say that i highly reccomend that all wear'ers take excellent care of all body art.

POST #2


There is a hand full of reasons as to why I chose to this particular topic. Every since a young age I have became interested in body arts and the different kinds there are. I felt that since so many are also have this interest in body art, that it would be a good thing to write about. I would say that I am very much so in love with tattoos that I would like to learn more than I know about them. I also love looking at body art and figuring out it’s meaning. Tattoos seem to be a thing that makes some people happy or relaxed because afterward it actually means something to them. It could even remind a person of a certain moment in their life. Though tattoos to some a bad thing, I chose to write this topic to show that there are also good facts about them as well. That there are reason why many are addicted or infatuated with them. I decided to write on this topic to help answer some questions that researchers or other scholars may have. There I feel that posting this following blog can help a lot others to learn new and important things. Tattoos are a very interesting thing that is surrounding us our world today. They are a thing that both young and old have or thought about getting. I think writing on this topic could cause many to look at body art in a different way. For example maybe look at tattoos as a new accessory or a major part of fashion. There are different style,sizes,colors and place you could get a tattoo. I think a person should learn more about body art before thing other wise about them. I love tattoos and that’s why I chose to write about them.
