Tattoo Culture

Tattoo comes from the Tahitian "Tatu", which means alerts. Proved to have a long history. In the traditional repertoire of tattoos can be a social status, but in the modern world - despite the negative stigma could mendaoat, a tattoo is fashion. Hmm, that's why the executives had chimed in her body with tattoos merajah "

Not excessive if the tattoo is called a "marker". Since 12,000 years before Christ, even until now the assumption is still valid. Vanda Jones, 49, a British woman was one case. This eccentric mother often forgot the fifth anniversary of her son, until he found the idea interesting by way of tattooing the anniversary date of his children on the sleeves.

Vanda now know exactly when to buy gifts and greeting cards for their children, Alwen, l8, Grace, 16, Rhian, l4, Lowri, 13, or the youngest 12-year-old Vernon. "When I took the children to health clinics, often I can not remember their birth dates, so I decided to tattooing my hand with the initials of the children with their birth date. Now everything so much easier. I live to see my arm and would not forgot to mention children's birthday, "said a woman who tinggat in Penygroes, near Caernarfon was, as quoted by The Daily Post, last October.

Not only the initials of his children and their birth dates in his hand, Vanda was tattooing his chest jugs with the Welsh dragon and the words "Wedi'i wneud yn Nghymru" (or Made in Wales).

Vanda did not own, in our country there Subono Melanie, who liked to use her body as a medium for storing memories like a photo album. Tattoos on her have a history of its own. For the daughter this Subono promoter Adrie, tattoos are markers of her life journey. "From birth, marriage, divorce, all the existing symbol in the form of tattoos," he said.

A representation of her journey to this point, is poured in the shape of a butterfly tattoo on her left wrist. Indeed, most butterfly tattoo picture, there is also a picture of the bass clef, as a manifestation of his passion in music.

Butterflies, according to Melanie, is a symbol of the struggle for life. The butterfly is the beauty of the metamorphosis of the caterpillar, to chrysalis, to transform into a butterfly.

Options image shows more or less the identity of the owner of the tattoo, also are like clothes that have the credo "you are what you wear." Also do not be surprised katau there certain people who write the name of her lover in the form of a tattoo on the body. Only, sebetum decided tattooing the body, mental readiness is the most important, especially if we choose a permanent tattoo - which, if already attached would be hard to erase, if at a later date do not like.

Indeed, with the development of tattoo art, has now found a new type of ink used is safer and far more easily removed if later you find that you feel any images. So far there are no safety standards for dyes used in body painting art, even the Bureau of Food and the U.S. Drug Administration (FDA) also. Tattoos typically use materials such as carbon black, metal salts, and other materials were also used in printing and painting cars. "Whereas heavy metals and toxic materials present in these dyes can enter the lymph system," said Martin Schmieg, the inventor of the ink safe for tattoos.

President of the company Freedom-2 in Philadelphia is now introducing a series of products that have been FDA-approved dye for use in the world of cosmetics, food, medicine and medical devices - which of course is safe for tattoos.

These dyes have not previously been used for tattooing because it is easily absorbed by the body. To overcome this, an expert from the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, has developed a way to coat the colorant in polymer beads are only 1-3 micrometers in diameter. This makes it small enough to be inserted in the skin and be absorbed by the skin sets in the form of tattoo colors.

If the owner of a tattoo of his life journey did not like his tattoo, he could remove it easily with lasers. Once enough shots, polymer beads in skin pigment will be opened and the dye will be absorbed into datam cells, and the tattoo will disappear. This is different from tattoo dyes which as we know it, though already dilaser ten times can not be lost completely.

But so, a tattoo is a choice. Sebetum decided to put a tattoo on his body, one must think ten times. Even for a tattoo artist I Gusti Ngurah Awijaya, sebetum petanggannya incised into the body image, he needs a long discussion, "Do not fit drunk, or in a state of psychic impulse. When he came he did not like the picture, it can be annoying," he said.

Indeed, the safest for the beginner is to make a temporary tattoo first. It's also been done by Djenar Maesa Ayu. Celebrity writers initially wearing temporary tattoos that can only survive a month when on vacation in Bali. Next he also merajah his body - also temporary - as an accessory, which is adjusted by the clothing he wore.

Kelamanaan long he fell in love with art, and about 2003 he decided to tattooing his body permanently. She chose pictures of butterflies, small in size, on the shoulder. Next is tattooing all over his back.

Nothing wrong with tattoos, "said Djenar. What's interesting is when the tattoo artwork is enshrined in the body. We do not just have and just see, but we took him everywhere. Even other people can see and enjoy the beauty of the drawing. "Of course there is a sense of pride and this tattoo is a concern for the views of others," said director Syumanjaya daughter (deceased) was.

According to this Djenar a single parent, had a tattoo identical to masculinity, because it looks sensual women tattooed, because maskutinitas was carved from a feminine body. And men with masculine bodies plus a tattoo, who is also the symbol maskutin, did not make it look sensual. "I like women who have a masculine side, on the contrary, I like guys who have a feminine side. I like the hat-hat at the same time contradictory merefteksikan balance," he explained.

Sure, the tattoo is believed to present things, a kind of secret stored in the body of its owner. If drip far back, as the tradition of ancient ethnic, ranging from Maori tribes, the Inca, the Ainu, Polynesians, ancient Egypt, and others, including the Dayak tribe in Indonesia, tattoos have various meanings, from the reasons culture to something that is considered fashionable and trendy.

In ritual and tradition, tattoos memitiki something very important, often considered magical. While in modern times like now tattoos are part of the art, even as fashion. Indeed, before considered as part of fashion, tattoos are considered as a symbol of rebellion. Negative impression of society even more and improve the image of a tattoo as a symbol of this anti-establishment. If the top actors and comedians Tora Sudiro also merajah body with lots of tattoos, it is also anti-establishment or just a part of fashion? Ask the swaying grass, because the answer must be hilarious.
