BODY TATTOOS AND THEIR ASPECTS. BODY TATTOO is an art practiced in different countries. Tattooing involves the placement of pigment into the skin's dermis, the layer of dermal tissue underlying the epidermis. To be tattooed depends on one's choice, size, colors and patterns. Some tribal cultures traditionally created tattoos by cutting designs into the skin and rubbing the resulting wound with ink, ashes or other agents; some cultures continue this practice, which may be an adjunct to scarification. But the most modern method of tattooing, is by electric tattoo machine, which inserts ink into the skin via a single needle or a group of needles that are soldered onto a bar, which is attached to an oscillating unit. The unit rapidly and repeatedly drives the needles in and out of the skin,This modern procedure is ordinarily sanitary. HEALTH RISKS Because it requires breaking the skin barrier, tattooing carries health risks including infection and allergic reactions. Modern tattooists reduce risks by following universal precautions working with single-use items and sterilizing their equipment after each use. As tattoo pigment lies encapsulated deep in the skin, tattoos are not easily destroyed even when the skin is burned. While tattoos are considered permanent, it is sometimes possible to remove them, fully or partially, with laser treatments. The expense and pain associated with removing tattoos are typically greater than the expense and pain associated with applying them The symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures. Today, people choose to be tattooed for artistic, cosmetic, sentimental/memorial, religious, and magical reasons, and to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups either ethnic or law-abiding subculture. Some Maori still choose to wear intricate moko on their faces. In Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, the yantra tattoo is used for protection against evil and to increase luck. Moreover The Nazis, Chinese, Roman Empire also used tattoos for obvious reasons before. Tattooing was popular among certain ethnic groups in southern China, Polynesia, Africa, Borneo, Cambodia, Europe, Japan, the Mentawai Islands, MesoAmerica, New Zealand, North America and South America, the Philippines and other parts of world. For many youngsters, the tattoo has taken on a decidedly different meaning than for previous generations. The tattoo has "undergone dramatic redefinition" and has shifted from a form of deviance to an acceptable form of expression. Below are some pictures of the body tattoos done by Japanese artists on males' and females' bodies, which may terrify or even scare you at the first glance but some may see it enjoyable, depending on one's likeness. Expecting your comments and opinions on them. Thank you and happy viewing. Lisa.               |

Hi Litz, Glad reading from you as usual, thank you so much for your visit and your nice comments which I appreciate so much as well. You are quote right Litz, all these tattoos on these bodies, look like a permanent outfit on the person. Yuk, I don't see that enjoyable at all but as I mentioned, it's according to one's choice though it won't make them a better person than others without such. Thanks a lot Lizt, hope reading from you again. My kind regards to you and family. Lisa.

Tallandgentle hi, How glad I am, reading from you on my blog again. You are always welcome and thanks for your visit and you pleasant comments as well. I appreciate your opinion on the tattoo, I myself do not like it and will never have any tattoo on my body. Beside the pricks of these needles, the ink, the cost and a lifetime bearing it, I really don't see any need of it. I wonder how long it has taken the artist to complete such work and how painful it should have been for the bearer as well !!. Hope reading from you again. Wish you my best. Lisa.
