Tatoo Art

Updated on February 22, 2013

Tatoo Art



Tatoo art or tattoo art, has been with us for as long as man has been embedding marks in his flesh. We have evidence that the art of tattoos have been with mankind for over 5000 years. Now that's a fad that just isn't going away!


Many ethnic groups and cultures place special significance in their tattoos, such as in the case of the Samoans who have been using tattoos and body art for over 2000 years. For the Samoans the addition of a tattoo signifies a coming of age.


Tatoo art thrives in the prison scene. Acquiring a new tattoo is not allowed there of course, so getting a tatt is a clandestine activity which requires the tattoo artist to use ingenuity and imagination when coming up with the equipment for the actual act of tattooing the design. The artist is also under the pressure of being discovered carrying on the illicit activity of actually giving the tattoo to his client, usually done for some packs of cigarettes in exchange for his artwork.


The earliest recorded device made specifically for tattooing was made by Thomas Edison. Yep, the same guy who invented the phonograph. But later on Samuel O'Reilly made the first electric tattoo machine, which was a great improvement over Edison's device.


The development of the electronic tattoo machine resulted in the marked rise in popularity of tattoos in the Western world. There are many cultures and religions around the world however, that do not permit marking the body with tattoos.


Many people wear tattoos which signify something such as the mark of a group they belong to, the music they enjoy listening to, or their religion. Others wear tattoos just for the joy of the self-expression or the mark of beauty upon their skin. The reasons for getting a tattoo are as varied as the people who wear them.


The traditional argument against getting a tattoo is that they look good or seem like a good idea when you are young, but what happens when the years pass by and you age? You might not be so "in like" with the permanent mark that you have had embedded in your skin after your skin has changed with age. This is why you should take your time before taking the final step of having your favorite design inked into your skin.


If you decide you don't like your tattoo later, people do get them removed, but it is costly. It also sounds a bit painful to me, ouch!


The risk of infection is very low as long as you take proper care of your tattoo after getting it. Any reputable tattoo artist will instruct you on the care of your tattoo once you get one. It is important to follow the directions the tattooist gives you at the time you get your tattoo, or you may end up with an infection.


If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, you can get a book that will show you how to pick a tattoo design that fits your personality among other things you should know before walking into the tattoo studio. This book will also tell you how to get instant access to a huge collection of tattoo designs and ideas. Check it out here at Tattoo Ideas.
