Getting a tattoo is an exciting moment for those who crave the pleasure and pain of being inked or pierced. But when getting inked, one always must be aware of safety.
Make sure to research out the tattoo shop or shops for safety precautions. They should have a clean atmosphere, and must know how to follow proper procedures. The entire shop must have the proper resources to run a shop. Otherwise do not acquire their services under any circumstance.
The artist must have proper tattoo or piercing equipment. They must be aware of a clean tattoo gun, and how mandatory it is when they ink the customer. Cleaning their tattoo gun is a must, to avoid infectious diseases on the customer. When dealing with piercers, they must have proper piercing equipment. The piercing needles must be fresh, or else the odd of getting diseases is high. Clean equipment must be shown, as using fresh needles is a vital part of getting pierced, or else the customers health is at risk.
Make sure they have the best tattoo machine or industrial piercing set they can get. They should know what these are, so they will not scare off customers. Plus if they are skilled, they may use homemade tattooing machines, which should still follow the guidelines of safety, but without the fancy tags of the bigger company labels. Piercers should have industrial piercing equipment available, as those brands tend to be high on the market, as well as rate high in quality when customers get pierced.
These items are available through most tattoo supply companies, as tattoo guns and piercing kits are widely available to artists who perform these. These items are available wholesale, so the artist should know how to acquire these items.

Getting a tattoo has become a new fad in todays society. Once frowned upon by mainstream society, it is now become a commonly viewed item in everyday life. Upon getting a tattoo, finding an artist of your liking is a big part. Since this is a permanent deal, it has to be done properly or else you will be living with this forever.
Make sure to research the artist and the tattoo shop or studio. They should have all of the proper resources to get your tattooing done properly and in the most cost effective way possible. Most shops have flash art available, for those who need ideas on what to get. They should also have fine art tattooing books available, for further ideas on ideas. Once you have an idea on what to get, they should be able to present your idea through a simple piece of artwork, which should show you if the drawing is exactly what you are thinking of.
Each artist has its own specialty in what they draw. Some specialize in tribal designs, while others are in Celtic designs. Make sure they are able to draw up whatever it is you are looking for. They should have proper tattoo supplies, which should comply with safety standards. They should have a proper tattoo gun, or a homemade one that works properly. They should know how to clean it properly as well as work it.
When coming to the actual tattooing of the art you had drawn up, make sure it is exactly the way you want it done. Make sure they have a variety of tattoo dyes, colors and pigments if you are looking for color in your tattoo. They should be able to distinguish what blends well with your skin tone.

Let’s face it, people who like tattoos are always looking for the next amazing tattoo design to set themselves apart from the crowd and although this might seem like an easy task, anyone who has been through it knows differently. Sometimes it can just hit you, you see something in a picture or in a museum or even in a movie and bingo! that’s it - you know straight away that this is your next tattoo. If you’re one of the lucky ones (those who can draw beautifully from imagination) you can scribble it down and take your own amazing tattoo design to your tattooist and within no time at all your dream is a reality. However, most of us are not that lucky and whilst we have willing and creative minds which think up all these amazing tattoo designs we have weak and stubborn fingers who insist on not getting the picture (literally!).
Body art has been with us from the year dot when ancient cave men used it not only for camouflage but also to mark themselves and their tribesmen out from other rival tribes. Indeed, the word ‘ tattoo‘ is derived from the ancient Tahitian word tattau meaning to mark. Since then tattoos have evolved into a serious art form and most people are into their body art because it is beautiful and because it makes a personal statement about themselves. Choosing your amazing tattoo design can be a minefield though. Just think of all the Chinese symbols for example. Do you know what they mean - and moreover, do you expect your tattooist to know? A very good friend of mine had a Chinese symbol tattoo done a couple of years back. It was a beautifully intricate design on his left shoulder with symbols surrounded by oriental dragons and magnificent colours. He was born in the year of the dragon and his wife was born under the sign of the dog. The symbol was suppose to say something like ‘ dragon will honour dog in life and death. However he has since discovered that although it does say that it could also be construed as dragon will curse dogs honour in life and death.
The same is true of Celtic or Egyptian symbols, and if you fancy something a bit out of the ordinary it’s best to do loads of research first and be sure your symbol says exactly what you want it to say. Remember, your tattoo artist is just that, an amazing artist - NOT an expert in all sorts of ancient scripts and symbols!!
When you know it’s time for another tattoo (or indeed when you’ve taken the decision to have your first) it is wise to take some time and look into various styles and designs and also think hard about where on your body you want to have it done. I know some women who have had amazing tattoos designed and inked all around their belly buttons only to discover that when they are pregnant (and subsequently left with stretch marks) the fabulous butterfly looks just a bit less fabulous than it did on a tanned and taut abdomen! Also, think about it from an employment point of view. Like it or not, a tattoo is not always viewed favourably by prospective employers. This is not such a problem for males, however lots of women get tattoos around their ankle or lower leg and, if in a professional capacity you need to wear a smart skirt suit, then it could make things just a little bit difficult.
Consider also, that your tattoo will be with you for life. Now, I know this is always the argument against having a tattoo, especially when it’s your first one, however it is a valid one. You must be committed to the design you choose as it will be with you for a very long time. In my opinion, it’s best to steer clear of the ‘fashionable’ tattoo styles, the ones that come in fad’s and disappear a year or two later leaving your skin very ‘last season’! Choose something that means something to you, something that has a little personal story behind it. Then, when people remark on your tattoo and ask about it (and they will!) you have something interesting to say about it and about yourself too.

I just saw a Caucasian woman with a Chinese tattoo that says, love birds in Chinese. But thats what she thinks. When read in the Chinese context, it means either you love birds or and you are a bird lover! On the naughty side, it can also mean you love the male organ, you know, the reproductive one. If you dont believe me, trying showing it to anyone in China or Taiwan.
So it is really crucial for Westerners who want to tattoo Chinese characters on their body to really know what it means and symbolize. The Chinese calligraphy may look impressive, especially when combined with a Chinese dragon tattoo, but get it wrong and you may be looking like a clown with a puzzle tattoo instead. And by the way, Chinese tattoos are not Japanese tattoos. Some characters may be the same, but most of them have different meanings in the different cultural context.
For those thinking of inking the Chinese characters tattoos, I would suggest consulting a Chinese speaking tattoo artist before the procedure. Unless you want to look like a victim of a practical joke, its better to get it right the first time because tattoos are permanent and removal can be painful. Chinese tattoos with just the characters or writing alone can look quite boring unless the calligraphy is done tastefully, which is rare unless the tattoo artist is trained to write and have practiced Chinese calligraphy for a period of time.
I would suggest combining it with Chinese symbols to give a better impact. The Chinese phoenix tattoo is a very powerful symbol for women and the Chinese dragon is a good one for men. Both are mystical creatures from Heaven and symbolize power and luck. If you are more ambitious, you can put all the twelve Zodiac tattoo signs on your back. But you better be tall for this project.
If you want a list of Chinese characters and their meanings, you can visit and download the Chinese Tattoos for free at our website listed below.

It is difficult to pin down exactly when the first temporary tattoo was debuted, but it is thought that they were designed and produced around the turn of the century. In the late 1890s and the early 1900s temporary tattoos that were created in the food coloring style were inserted into boxes of Cracker Jacks. These temporary tattoos were transferred from the paper to skin with the use of spit or water. Surprisingly enough, Cracker Jacks still use these same style of temporary tattoos as one of their prize in every box surprises today.
The food coloring style remained the mainstay in temporary tattoos for decades. Television shows, sports teams, and cartoons have all used temporary tattoos to gain recognition with young consumers. For example, Topps not only used sports cards to sell their gum, many cards of which are extremely collectible today, but they also inserted temporary tattoos called Baseball Tattoos in the 1970s. Smurf, Pee Wees Playhouse and The Bionic Women all had temporary tattoo packages sold as a way of promoting their respective television shows. All were created using the food coloring style of tattoo production.
In the 1980s there were temporary tattoos created that were different and more exotic than the plain food coloring style. First of all there were Scratch and Sniff temporary tattoos that had a special microfragrence coating designed and developed by 3M. These tattoos were still based upon the same artistic styles as the previous food coloring style, and never really caught on. However, Dandy Novelty company teamed up with a world famous tattooist Ole Hansen, from Copenhagen Denmark in the 1980s and together they produced an entirely new line of temporary tattoos that was based upon the real tattoo flash artwork.
This new look of temporary tattoos created a large amount of interest and eventually got the nod from Hollywood. 3M was again involved in creating a temporary tattoo that was placed on a translucent film that could be transferred to the body without spit. This allowed actors to have a tattoo for a character that looked real, but again was only temporary. This style of temporary tattoo, currently under production by Paper Tattoos, has essentially replaced the food coloring style entirely (except in the Cracker Jack prize packets) due to the fact that the designs are edgy, realistic and longer lasting than previously released temporary tattoo brands. Now, temporary tattoos are essentially considered to be pieces of body art and are often used as a fashion accessory in the same manner someone would select a pair of earrings, a navel ring, or other body embellishment.

Not just anyone can become a tattoo artist. It takes many hours of skill and practice to master this craft. On any given day, a tattoo artist may have many different requests to accomplish; some may be small and simple, others may be very detailed and intricate to produce. The scope of tattoos could range from something as simple as a cherry blossom or as large as a representation of New York City and everything in between.
Not only must a tattoo artist be excellent at drawing or tracing many amazing designs of tattoos, but many times the customer will come in with a tattoo design and want the tattoo artist to the customers idea or spin on it. By taking the idea of the customer, the tattoo artist must try their best to bring the customers idea to life. The tattoo artist must be able to relate to the customer, understand the customers request and be creative enough to materialize the idea. Some customers may come in with no specific tattoo design, just the idea of what they want the tattoo to represent, and leave it up to the artist to create the kind of tattoo they are requesting. That takes talent and creativity.
An artist has a blank canvas to work with and they can create many beautiful works of art. The tattoo artist, however, may be asked to tattoo anything from a bald head, elbow, or even a knee as part of the tattoo. Some tattoos may start on the back, or shoulder and go around the body to the front of the chest. Other tattoos may be larger in picture and need to be cut down, completely resizing the picture or symbol to fit the customers body, much like a pattern, while keeping the symbol or design completely in tact. They may have to free hand the entire picture or symbol over again. This could be quite a difficult task for the average Joe.
Obviously, without satisfied customers, the tattoo artist would have no business. Since tattoos are usually done to represent a special meaning to the customer, the tattoo artist needs to be able to be able to relate to people,giving them the kind of design or symbol their customers want and provide good customer service. If the tattoo artist doesnt seem to be too interested in what you have to say he or she might have their own idea about how they want to do your tattoo and you could be sorely disappointed. It may even be worth it to travel to another city to have a tattoo done if you have found a great tattoo artist. Remember, a tattoo is a permanent mark on your body and can be very expensive to remove.
If you are into tattoos and have found a the perfect tattoo artist, you are fortunate. Let them know they are appreciated. These skills are not easily acquired by just anyone. Always make sure the tattoo artist is using sterile equipment and understands your request before you get your tattoo. By doing this, you could have a great tattoo to enjoy for a lifetime.

After coming to the decision that you want to remove your tattoo you have to decide how you plan to do it. There are a few different ways for you to choose from and you have to figure out which way is right for you.
One of the most common techniques to remove a tattoo is by using a laser. The laser will help break up the ink that is imbedded in your skin so that it can be absorbed by your body. It can take a few treatments to fully get the tattoo to disappear and even then you can be left with a scar.
Another method uses a substance known as glycolic acid to help remove the tattoo. This acid, unlike the laser, is used to help bring the ink to the surface of the skin. After the ink has reached the surface it can be removed without leaving as big of a scar as the laser treatment.
Both of these methods can be expensive and can cause scarring to the tissue in and around where your tattoo was. These methods can also cost a good bit of money depending on the size of your tattoo.
This last method isnt the actual removal of your tattoo but a cover up of your old one. Some tattoo artists are able to transform your old tattoo into something different depending on what you want your new design to look like and what your old tattoo is.
When it comes down to removing a tattoo it is very much possible in todays world. What was once a permanent mark on your body can be taken off with special techniques used for tattoo removal. However, there is still a chance that you will carry the scar with you for the rest of your life.

Tattoo is claimed by many enthusiasts as having survived for over 14,000 years. Well, the evidences pointing to their claims are not entirely dismissible. Uncovered mummies belonging to 12000 BC show dot patterns on their bodies. These tattoos, which are said to be the earliest evidences, are similar to the patterns on the contemporary figurines. A closer study by the archeologists suggests that they have relation to the era of Goddess Hathor. Some heavily tattooed mummies were also found from the same era.
Is Tattoo A Fad?
Well, tattoo has been creating ripples in some circles of late. From the early 1950s it was symbolically regarded as a distinct mark of identification by gangs. This perhaps explains why this was most popular in and around Texas. Nevertheless, tattooing is popular around the globe. Asia has nurtured tattoo culture through the history till it traveled across pacific before reaching the American shores.
William Dampher is the one who is responsible for re-introducing tattoos to the west. He was once a sailor and an explorer who traveled the South Seas. In 1691 he brought a heavily tattooed Polynesian named Prince Giolo to London. He was known as the Painted Prince. He would later put on exhibition, a money making attraction showing off his tattoos and became the rage of London. Before that it had been 600 years since tattoos had been seen in Europe. It would be another 100 years before tattoos would make it’s mark in the West.
The present day tattoo culture symbolizes freedom of expression. It is particularly the cool in thing with the younger generation in the entertainment and adventure professions. These are the people who can proudly sport their tattoos on their bear shoulders, arms and chests. Just ask David Beckham. He can proudly showed you his range of tattoos on his body.
Tattoo Art and Tools
None of the beautiful things in this world comes cheap. If there is something that is preventing tattoo from being widespread, it is the slow torturous pains that one has to bear for having her tattoo. Before Samuel O’Rtiely patented the electric tattoo machine in 1891, each puncture was being painstakingly hand made and then inked. Traditionally, tools were of bronze and copper, sometimes unpolished. Tools made from bones are still not unusual in tribal areas of Asia.
Interestingly, tattoo which enjoyed patronage from the affluent class till the rising of the electric machine gradually lost their support and became a common place. Fast tattooing and affordability provided by the machine brought average person closer to tattoos. What is equally interesting is despite a lowly cultural showing and going underground for sometime, tattoo could make a spectacular comeback.
