Tattoos no longer have the shock value they once had. With reality TV shows like Miami Ink on TLC, one could argue they have gone main stream. The stigma of tattoos has greatly declined over the years and has crossed both economic and social boundaries. The following are some interesting statistics:• A Harris Poll done in 2003 revealed that 16% of Americans had at least one tattoo. That's roughly 40 million people. That's up from 6% back in 1936 when only 10 million Americans had tattoos.
• A survey done by Esquire magazine in 2002 stated that 1 in 8 Americans has a tattoo.
• According to a study in 2005 from The American Society of Dermatological Surgery, out of the people that they treated for laser and light therapy, only 6% were getting tattoos removed.
• US News & World Report says there are more than 20,000 tattoo parlors operating in the United States and on the average; a new parlor is opening every day.
One segment of body art that is gaining popularity is the "always visible" tattoo. These include tattoos on the neck and face that can't always be covered up by clothing. Most neck tattoos are placed on the side of the neck or the back of the neck which is known as the nape. An owner of a tattoo parlor in New York says 20 - 30 percent of the tattoos he does are on the hand, face, or neck.
A question often asked when deciding on getting a neck tattoo is will it be more painful than getting a tat on other parts of the body? Because the skin on the back of the neck is thinner, the needle naturally comes closer to the bone which does make getting a neck tattoo a little more painful. Of course, it all depends on the individual's physical and psychological makeup.
A tattoo usually heals in 2-3 weeks but a neck tattoo might take a little bit longer. This is due to the motion created by the movement of the head which causes the neck tattoo to scab quickly. As a result, you might need to re-ink a neck tattoo to fix some of the patchiness. Luckily, these re-ink sessions are not as painful as the initial session.
One advantage of a neck tattoo over hand or a foot tattoo is that they are less prone to infections. Do take precautions with sun exposure as it can cause the ink to fade so it is important to apply sun screen.
As a tattoo design, the phoenix is probably the most visually spectacular form of body art.The legend of the phoenix bird is known throughout the world, and has its origins in much of Europe, Middle East and Far East.
The basic symbolism of the phoenix is resurrection and rebirth by fire.
Although the legend is the same worldwide, there are subtle differences.
Greek Legend
According to ancient Greek legends, the phoenix bird lived in Arabia next to a watering well. At dawn, it would bath and the Greek sun god Apollo would stop his chariot specifically to listen to its song.
Lebanese Legend
The Lebanese claim the phoenix as central to their culture, whether it is ancient or modern. As descendants of the Phoenicians, they see themselves as "Sons of the Phoenix". This legend holds particular significance to Beirut, which was destroyed and rebuilt 7 times in its history.
Persian Legend
In Persian legends, the phoenix is known as Huma or the 'bird of paradise'. This bird consumed itself in a ball of fire only to rise again from the ashes. It was considered a bird of compassion, and would bring great fortune by a simple touch.
Egyptian Legend
In ancient Egypt, the legend was known as bennu. This bird created itself from fire emanating from a holy tree. It was believed that this bird carried the soul of Ra the sun god.
Jewish Legend
Jewish legends state the phoenix was the only bird or animal for that matter not to follow man in his banishment from Paradise (Garden of Eden)
Chinese and Japanese legends
In Chinese legends, the phoenix was known as "Fenghuang". This bird is the second most respected legendary creature. Only the dragon is more respected. The phoenix is used to represent the empress and was as the leader of birds.
The Japanese word for phoenix is "FushichÅ". It is known as "Immortal Bird".
The phoenix holds a rich diversity of meanings and beliefs, not to mention a beautiful design for body art.
People nowadays use tattoo designs to convey their own characters. Everyone has his or her own personal reason for getting a tattoo. It could mean a trademark or a personal image that symbolizes individuality and preference. Whatever the design, a tattoo is a symbol and representation of something of deep meaning or a tribute to someone very special to you.

Just like the lotus tattoo which has strong symbolic meanings and powerful statements of personal characteristic.The lotus tattoo usually relates to different meanings such as the process of how it grows. Can you imagine how the lotus amazingly grows from down the pond? Anything that grows under the pond is something that you would not imagine as being beautiful since the pond's environment is kind of muddy and gross, but the lotus actually blooms here.
Lotus grows as a small flower at the bottom of a pond and its vine slowly grows up towards the surface of the pond. The bud facing downwards as the vine grows up towards the sunlight. Once the vine reaches the surface of the pond and the light, the lotus begins to bloom and turn out to be a beautiful flower.
How the lotus flowers blossom into a beautiful flower despite of the fact that it grows from the slimy mud of the pond and that it was able to rise from the mud towards the sunlight and bloom into a pretty flower is something that symbolizes power, strength, and life.
Here are some meanings attributed to a lotus tattoo:
A lotus is not only a significant flower for some people; it is also a beautiful body art that makes it very popular floral tattoo. The rich meaning of a lotus flower as a tattoo and its beauty make most of the tattoo artists very suggestive of the design.

With your lotus tattoo design, you can make a powerful statement of your beautiful and meaningful life, principle, and purpose.

Henna tattoos are a natural form of body art - a safe and temporary alternative to getting a real tattoo done on your body. Henna tattoo artists use a natural henna ink which is made from powder from the leaves of the henna plant. The artist make a paste with the henna powder and paint a henna tattoo design anywhere on your body.
The tradition of henna tattooing, also called mendhi, has been practiced for millions of years. They have found henna art traces as far as back as the tombs of Egyptian pharaoh’s day. Henna tattoo art is still a popular natural tattoo tradition today.
Before applying henna ink to your skin, make sure to test a small amount on your body and check for any allergic reactions. Henna tattoos rarely cause these reactions in people, but its important to make sure in case you have sensitive skin. Once you know the henna ink will not cause a bad reaction, you or your henna tattoo artist can begin the work of art on your skin.
The sky is the limit with the patterns, designs and images that can be created with henna tattoos, but the colors are usually limited to dark shades of red, green, brown, or black. This also depends on how your skin reacts since every skin tone will take the henna tattoo ink a little differently. To see how the ink will appear on your skin do a test first to be sure you will get the desired result.
Henna tattoos are an ancient custom in India: girls and women are body painted before ceremonies, like marriage. They painted complicated patterns on their hands and feet to symbolize their fertility.Henna (or 'Mehndi', the Indian name) is made from the henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis). The leaves of the plant are dried and ground. The powder gets mixed with water and you get a sort of green-brownish mud. If you put that mud on your skin, let it harden, and then peel it off, you will notice it has left an orange color.
You can get your henna at an eastern shop or a 'souk' in many different colors. There's orange, mahogany, brown and black. The orange one is the traditional henna. The black henna is synthetic. It contains PDD (P-phenylenediamene) and can cause allergic reactions. Even if it doesn't cause irritations, it's still unhealthy. Moreover, in the past, black henna at your wedding was considered a disgrace.
Henna Recipe
With one pack of henna, you'll have enough to body paint the entire football team. Put the henna in a bowl and gently pour some lemon juice and boiling water in the bowl. Don't use too much water, the mud has to resemble the thickness of sate sauce. The purpose of the lemon juice is to help the color hold better on your skin.
Your skin should be clean, dry and not fat. If you want to color your nails too, they shouldn't have nail polish on them. Make sure you really want this, because your nails will be orange for about 2 months. It doesn't come off! When the henna is cold, you can get to painting.
If you want to paint your foot soles, which is a traditional custom in Marokko, make sure you have a pillow of some kind to keep your feet off the floor, before you know it, the henna mud is everywhere! You can apply the henna with all sorts of instruments, what works best is a syringe (without the needle of course).
Symmetric and geometric shapes work best. Don't make the lines too thin, the color won't come on to your skin very well. The bigger the surface, the brighter the color will be.
Now: the annoying part: Waiting...
Let the henna dry in the sun, the warmth of the sun will get your color deeper into your skin. You can also use a hairdryer.
If you make a mistake in the picture your painting: ACT QUICKLY! If you wipe it off too late, the henna will leave a red spot.
After a while, the henna will start to burst. Don't peel it off yet! The henna has to stay on for at least two hours. Then you can start removing the crusts of mud.
DON'T remove the henna with water! Just scrape the crusts of your skin, you can do this with a bold knife. Don't let your body painting get in touch with water for the first couple of hours. Right after you scraped off all the crusts, rub your skin in with olive oil. It will make the color brighter and help keep the color on as long as possible. Your henna painting will survive for about a month or so.
Also nice to know: Swimming, body peeling, scrubbing your back, and bodyscrub products will make the henna tattoo deteriorate faster.
The image of the koi fish is often used in tattoo designs not just because of its obvious elegance and vibrant colors, but more because of the symbolism surrounding it."Koi" is simply "carp" in Japanese, but the expensive fish that we are all familiar with are carp that have been especially bred since ancient times in China. This special breeding has produced the multi-colored varieties of koi fish that people now collect.
Koi are vigorous fish that can swim upstream. An old Chinese legend tells of koi brave enough to swim up the waterfalls of the Yellow River, and that any fish that could reach the point in the river called "Dragon Gate" would turn into a dragon.
While the fish originated from China, it is the Japanese who have made it a household name. The koi is a celebrated symbol in Japan-mostly associated with exceptional courage. It is said that this fish, if caught and placed on a cutting board, can lie still and wait for the knife to drop-without a quiver. That it can remain stoic in the face of imminent death is a quality likened to the samurai warrior's unflinching courage to face the sword.
Generally, koi fish tattoos' meanings include strength of character and the temerity to face adversity and seemingly impossible odds. With regard to the Chinese "Dragon Gate" legend, koi fish are also seen as symbols of high aspiration and accomplishment. Koi are also referred to as "living jewels," and so are likewise associated with luck and good fortune. The image of five golden koi are said to mean "eternal wealth" and well being.
Still another interpretation of the koi's ability to swim upstream is "non-conformity." It is an advisable tattoo motif for people who put great importance to being an independent thinker.
Koi fish tattoos' meanings can vary for different people. Others also believe that the meaning of the koi tattoo design differ depending on the placement, colors and position of the fish, as well as other aspects of the design. Of course, the ultimate meaning of any tattoo would always be unique and personal for the person who has it.
The Maori men wore moko on their faces, buttocks and thighs, while the women wore the moko on their chins and lips. The designs are mostly spirals to mimic their creativity in woodcarving. The tattoos are markings for a person's clan and social status. The warriors of the tribe believe that the tattoos make them fearsome and intimidating.
Tattooing is such an important part of the Maori culture. In fact, members of the tribe who do not have any tattoos are considered worthless. They give much fuss about tattooing rituals especially during passage of kids to adulthood and other important life events. Every tattoo on their bodies means something significant in their lives.
The Maoris do not like seeing their tattoo designs on people who do not belong to their tribe. This is why it is important that you look for an artist who can come up with a Maori tattoo that does not use any of the tribe's very important symbols that are sacred to them.
Although the original wearers of this type of tattoo mostly have them on their faces, and legs, the modern Maori tattoo designs look really good on the shoulder rather than on the face.
Maori tattoo designs are quite distinctive, and they originate from the Maori people of New Zealand, where tattooing is considered a sacred art. In this distinctive type of tattooing, you'll find that you'll see a lot of curved shapes and spirals that conform to an intricate and recognizable pattern.
You'll find that while smaller spirals might predominate the design, you can often step back and see them forming a larger pattern in general. Maori tattoo designs often cover the face, though they can be seen on any part of the body.
The legend about how tattooing came to the Maori concerns a love affair between a young man and a princess of the underworld, named Niwareka. After their marriage, the young man beat his wife, and she left, going back to the underworld. The young man suffered greatly to find his princess again and to apologize, but when he got to her father's kingdom, his face was dirty and stained. Niwareka's family mocked him for his appearance, but he persisted, begging his wife to return with him, and when she agreed, he was given the art of tattooing to take back with him.
The traditional Maori tattoo designs that you can see are often very intricate, very highly planned-out works that will take a person's facial structure and personality into account. In Maori society, the tattoo was considered a passport; for men, it would testify to their rank, their ability in physical battle and the regard with which they were held.
In this way, every man could be given the treatment that was his due, and to treat someone who was tattooed in a way that was not in keeping with their rank, then a grave insult could be taken. Maori women were not as extensively tattooed as the men, though they might often evidence a tattoo on their chin, or under their lower lip.
A centrally located forehead tattoo indicated a person's rank, while their birth status would be tattooed on their jaw. Their position could be tattooed around the eyebrows, while the area of the temples was reserved for their marital state. On either side of the face, a man's ancestry was inscribed, with the left side generally being for the father, while the right side was for the mother's family.
Maori tattoo designs are a fascinating tradition, and there is a lot of good information out there on it, so take a look!
