North American Tribal Tattoo




Tribal tattooing is commonly used in Native American tribes to designate the location within the tribe. The men of the Illinois Indian tribe, for example, would normally have tattoos of weapons of war on their bodies. Women, on the other hand, had tools. The tools of war were found to outperform the tools. These tribal tattoos have been minimized.

Timucua tribes, on the other hand, a heavily-used tattoos. These tattoos are represented in the list, as well as their social role, their family lines, their tribal affiliation, their wealth, power for their actions and their acts of courage. Their tattoos were simple lines and circles, intricate patterns and designs.

Those who receive the monument Rose Tattoo, is the perfect way for them to create a permanent memorial, which is always with them.

Bikers Tattoo



Biker tattoos can be simply a means of expression. In this case, only the sky is the limit when it comes to designs a biker can choose. However, there are a couple of pictures and models that are the most frequent cycling.

Perhaps the most popular photo selection biker tattoos is the skull.

The Dragon Tattoo



whose original title was more effective and "Men Who Hate Women" (a name much more appropriate given the nature of the book) - the second day. After reading the Millennium trilogy (this is part of one) last year by Stieg Larsson was always waiting for the film version of books. They made the film, both on the big screen or small (in fact, I think this film was originally a two-part TV-movie re-edited in the film version), because they are on top, with plenty of puzzle solving and plot twists, the melodrama, violence and full of well-drawn characters with the plot moves forward fast pace. Behind the books is, of course, a number of serious issues as racism, misogyny and patriarchy, sexual violence, and globalization - a reminder that all is not well in social democratic Sweden, the country is often a country of enlightened and liberal views, unlike our own.

Sell out??

Why is art the only profession where your colleagues think you need to starve and not sell any of your art, merchandise or services to maintain their respect? Your respect won't feed my family or keep a roof over my head. I'm not going to apologize for being successful. I am just going to be grateful.

they can seem like a great way to memorialize someone you love who's no longer with us. But there's nothing that can seem quite as wrong, or ugly, as a portrait tattoo done badly.

Some things are easier to portray in portraits than others. Movie or cartoon characters where the image was originally drawn or designed fare much better than straight up portraits of people. Images of beloved pets also tend to come out much more accurately than images of people

Doing good portraiture is one of the hardest artistic challenges in drawing or painting and being able to do really good tattoo portraits is even more difficult. Not only is it a realistic art style, but a tattooist doesn't get the chance to reshade, change or fix the portrait as they are working on it

"Ever since I was 7 or 8 years old, my mom would have company over, and I was always performing for everybody in front of the TV. . .Even when I went to school, I was always the weird child; I would go outside and instead of playing, I wanted to have 'Star Search' competitions," Spears told Hollywood Reporter.
