What do your tattoos say about you?
Most of us either have at least one tattoo or we know someone who does. Whether they are ours or someone else's, tattoos can say a lot about the person who is wearing them – and not just if the tattoo says “Slayer Rules!”, there can be some subtle hints hidden there too. It is not rare, for example, to see someone with a Celtic band tattoo. These are usually quite intricate patterns of lines and curls in a style reminiscent of the ornamental crosses and engravings of the Celts, a race which predominated in Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as much of the neighboring part of Europe. People with Celtic – usually Irish, but not always – ancestry often get tattoos in this form to symbolize their Celtic blood. The concept of ancestry is a big deal in tattoos. You can represent your ancestors with a simple design that can be as large or as small as you like it to be. Among the most popular designs are characters from another alphabet – Japanese being particularly popular even for people with no Japanese background, who either like the mysticism associated with China or the aesthetics of the characters. ...
Showing Your Sporting Allegiance
Among the most popular types of tattoo for an individual to get are sporting tattoos. These are common just about everywhere in the world that has tattoo parlors and sports teams. There are many potential variations as well, thanks to the nature of team sport which has uniforms, players and competitions which can all be depicted with a little bit of ink and an expanse of skin. Getting a tattoo to reflect your love of your team is in some ways a rite of passage, as the permanence of the tattoo is testament to your strength of feeling for a club. There are ways this can go wrong, of course, because players have been known to change team. Robert Nesbitt, a fan of English soccer club Newcastle United, got a tattoo of their free-scoring star player Andy Cole on his right thigh. Two days later Cole was sold to English champions Manchester United in a British-record transfer, leaving Nesbitt with a permanent reminder of his own hubris. It is perhaps wiser if you wish to demonstrate your support of a club to stick to a depiction of something that cannot be moved to another club. The date of a ...
Think About It, And Get A Tattoo You Will Always Love
The most important thing to remember about adorning one’s body with a tattoo is that the ink is at least semi-permanent. Even if it is possible to remove the tattoo you will be fortunate if the most that you are left which is a patch of scarred, sensitive skin. Typically, this is not something that many people want to happen, but if for some reason you find yourself with a tattoo you can’t stand the sight of it will ruin part of your life. Either way it’s a pain, so think before you ink. There are some tattoos which look great and demonstrate something important, but you’d better be sure your reason is permanent before you go for it. A lot of people like to get a loved one’s name, but relationships end. Some people will reflect the name of a band they really like, but if they then release a few bad albums and are found to be horrendous people then you will want to disassociate yourself from them rather than carry around a permanent reminder. As people, we change and our tattoos can not change with us, so it is important to find something that is permanent before ...
