all gangs have specific tattooing

Labels: Gang Tattoos

Gang tattoos have much in

common with tribal tattoos

for obvious reasons. 

Not all gangs have specific

tattooing, most do.  

This way a member is

permanently marked as a

member.  It is forever.  No

turning back.  It also shows the community who he belongs with.  It

lets a gang member know if he is approaching a friend or an enemy

when he is walking down the street.

Gang tattoos also show significant events in the gang members life. 

A tear drop tattoo is a familiar site on many gang members and can

mean a number of things.  It can mean he has been to prison. It can

mean someone in his family or gang that he was close to has died. 

A tear drop half filled in with ink can mean he has lost someone, but

he killed the person who killed them.  So he has avenged their

death.

We know it means sadness, but to

find out exactly what it means you

would need to ask him.

Of course guns are also a common theme amongst gang members. 

Among the Latin gangs religious themes are also prevalent.

Of course these are common themes amongst gang

members.  Specific gang tattoos are hard to find.  Even on

the Internet.  Many tattooist refuse to do them so they don't show

up in flash or portfolios. 

It goes without saying that, if you aren't a gang member don't

get a gang tattoo.  The police may mistake you for one, another

gang member may see you as an enemy, and the gang whos tattoo

you are wearing won't take it lightly if they see you and you really

don't belong to their gang.

The trained eye can tell which gang a person belongs to and

significant happenings in his life.  This is helpful to prison officials.

As most gang members wind up in jail or prison.

Tribal Tattoos

Labels: Tribal Tattoos

Most of the designs we call
tribal tattoos are from the
South Pacific Polynesian. 
They were originally brought
home by sailors who visited
these islands.
They are usually black with
the black being the tattooed
portion and the skin making the space in between the linear or more
commonly spiralling designs.
Originally they told the story of a person and the deeds he (or he
and his family) had accomplished. 

In the Philippines the natives were

headhunters and a tattoo would be given

when a young man had gotten his first head.

Usually all over his upper torso. 

In Somoa they were indications of rank in the
tribe.  These were full bodied tattoos and took
a long time to complete.  In addition to this
they were very painful.  If a young man was
unwilling to complete the tattoo because of the pain it brought great
dishonor to him and his family.
Young women were also tattooed to add to their beauty and as a rite
of passage into adulthood.  In some areas the young women who
couldn't stand the tattooing would be considered unable to
withstand childbirth and wouldn't be very valuable as a wife.
All of these tattoos were done using very crude instruments and the
risk of infection and death was high.  The black was generally made
from ash from the fire pits.  Nevertheless, not going through the
tattooing process would leave the man labeled a coward and the
woman unworthy.  This was completely unacceptable.
It is important to remember that most tribal art was done in black
as few other colors were available to the them.  
Now almost any black geometric shape will pass as tribal art.  This
art usually has no meaning other than the one in the tattooed
persons head.
The geometric designs are quite beautiful and it is speculated by
many that the person seeking tribal tattoos is attempting to belong
to a tribe of their own.
Below are a few examples of modern tribal tattoos.

Tribal tattoos, like most other tats, mean what the wearer says they

mean.

Tattoo designs can be made

from photographs, symbols,

paintings, etc.  If it is visual

it can be made into a tattoo. 

If it isn't visual there is

probably something to

symbolize it.

Using the alphabet we can start with the acorn and go to the zodiac.

The acorn symbolizes birth and life.  The acorn eventually grows into

powerful Oak Tree. 

It symbolizes power waiting to be happen.  Ancient Britons believed

if you carried an acorn you would have longer life, be able to find

your way when travelling, and have general good luck.

The Zodiac is about the stars, planets, suns, and moons and how they are aligned. I believe it is used to predict outcomes.

For our purposes the Zodiac is just to show that tattoos can be

anything from A to Z. If it can be imagined and put to paper. It can

be a tattoo design. It can be put on skin. A word of caution, just

because it can be put on you doesn't mean it will look good there.

Not everything lends itself to a good tattoo design.

Careful With Dragon Tattoo Designs

Labels: Dragon Tattoo

As with anything that will last forever, you should be cautious when you pick it out. This is especially true for dragon tattoo designs. First time tattooers may not realize the complications they will face if they do not think about their tattoo well enough ahead of time. Draw it out yourself on the part of skin you are thinking of designing. Use pen or marker so it will last a few days. If you do not get sick of it then that is the first step.

The colors of the dragon design should also be carefully selected. If you get lighter colors, they will fade and blend in with your skin tone. This can ruin a dragon tattoo if it is not regularly freshened up with new ink. If you opt to get your whites, pinks, and yellows redone every six months or so, you can find yourself with a hefty maintenance bill. Darker colors fade, too, but they will show up better for far longer.

What about other occasions? Do you have any events that will require you to dress up, say, for a wedding? Would a dragon tattoo mar how you want to look that day? Does your fairy tale wedding dress include a dragon tattoo showing on your arm? If you do not think it would bother you, then you can start looking for a place to get the work done.
