Every tattoo has a story. Your tattoo might signify a place in your life or a remembering of a past event but all tattoos mean something more to their owners, then just the picture.
Humankind has always been drawn to tattoos. Tattoos were and still are a way for us to distinguish ourselves from our peers. Tattoos have symbolized many things in different cultures but ultimately they are the best form of self-expression.
But when did humankind’s obsession with tattooing begin?
The origins of the name Tattoo can be traced to the Tahitian word “tatu”, which means to mark something and in this application it is the human skin. Archeologists have been able to trace Tattoos back in our history to 12,000 BC. This would indicate that we have always had a fascination with marking our bodies. But what is interesting is, what these “markings” represent; the story behind what the picture tells. In some society’s tattoos indicated that the wearer of these marks was a shaman or other religious figure but most modern society’s have associated tattoo’s with a negative stereotype. This could not be farther from the truth. Tattoos for most people are a way for them to express themselves and to mark a significant point in their life. This is why shows like Miami Ink and L.A. Ink have done so well. These shows on tattoos are reality television on people getting their tattoos and the story behind them.
In the 21 Century, tattooing has enjoyed a renaissance the likes of which has not been seen before. Tattooists are artist, displaying their talent on the ultimate canvass the human skin. And celebrities and the average person are lining up for their chance to distinguish themselves with their own mark.

Anyone with shoulder blade tattoos on or around that area, I’d like to know what level of pain there is..?
I’m still going to get it reguardless of the answers, id just like to know if it was tolerable, hurt like hell, didnt and so forth. I’d just like to know what to expect somewhat nevermind we all have different pain tolerance. Thanks!
I have flowers going across my sholder blades. The pain there was worse then the pain on my lower back. Tattoos aren’t suppose to feel good! You have lots of nerves in your upper back and for me, the right side hurt more than the left! But i have a beautiful tattoo that I love and will forever remind me of my loving grandmother!
So, good luck with your tattoo!

Can you wear jeans to cover up an ankle tattoo until it is healed?
Hi,
I was thinking about getting an ankle tattoo but I don’t want anyone to see it while it is scabbed over for the couple weeks while it is healing. Is it alright if I wear jeans or will this irritate it? Thank you so much!
It will probably irritate it. It needs to air out as much as possible when it’s healing.
I use Rocco’s Old School Tattoo Balm on all of my old and new tattoo’s.
It works great. Heals my new tattoo’s nicely, keeps them moisturized and protected.
And still lets air pass through unlike Vaseline. Also makes my old tattoo’s look new
Here’s their website - http://www.roccosoldschool.com

tattoo lettering?
I want to get a nice font. where can I find some?
Its to get both my daughters names on the back of my neck and also my grandmothers name on my foot. I’m looking for elegant, classy, pretty.
whats the smallest the text can be?
thanks alot
I don’t know if you may be interested in this, but I have a tattoo of my grandmother’s signature on my arm. She always had the most beautiful penmanship and the tattoo means a lot more to me knowing that it’s actually in her handwriting. As far as your daughters, how old are they? Would you feel comfortable having them sign their names and getting that done? I don’t know if this answered your question, but it’s just something to consider. =)

How Long do small tattoos take?
Im getting a small hamsa hand on my neck? What do you think it would feel like? How long would it take with no color and little detail?
http://users.lmi.net/maxdashu/cards/hamsa.gif
If it’s small I’d say about an hour or so, if it is as big as the picture I would say 2-3 hours. I’d suggest adding some blue around the eye since it is traditional
