Ancient Greek Tattoos
Ancient Greek tattoos, or "stigmata" as they were called back then, were used in many different forms. They were originally used as a way to mark someone as "belonging" to a particular group or segment of society. For example, they were frequently used as a punishment for criminals. This was a way to inflict pain and mark them as criminals so the rest of the population would be able to identify them.
People were tattooed with a distinct design if they belonged to a certain religious sect. Others marked their slaves with unique designs, a branding used as a form of ownership. Ancient Greek tattoos were also used as a form of communication amongst spies, a way to show their rank and their roll in the organization.
Tattoos gradually became more of a form of self-expression. Early designs included the Greek cross, a cross with four equal arms that eventually became the "+" sign in mathematics. The architectural design border of the Greek key became popular and were used as wristbands, armbands, and ankle bands. This design is now commonly known as a sign of the circle of life.
A fun form of tattooing was an expression of phrases using their alphabet symbols. A popular phrase still used today is "Pistis, elpis, agape" which means "Faith, hope, love". One of the most spectacular and extravagant forms of expression was the use of the gods, goddesses, and stories of Greek Mythology. Still ever popular, Greek mythology designs make the most stunning tattoos around.
Ancient Greek Tattoos are still widely used in today's designs. Finding the right Greek tattoo specific to you and your personality can take a little work on your behalf.
About 25% of people who get tattoos are not happy with the outcome. Don't let that happen to you. Research Ancient Greek Tattoos, download designs that you like, and print them out to view.
It's better to have your design idea in your hand when you walk into the parlor than to try and figure it out once you're there. To get more design ideas and awesome printable designs visit http://www.squidoo.com/Greek-Tattoo.

Beautiful Tattoo Ideas of Girls
Examples of the most prominent (tattoos) designs available for girls are remarkable in the quality of their artistic expression.
Of the best designs that have a place in tattoo culture, some of the more popular images are butterflies in motion, a female figure seeming to emerge from the hand, celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe flying while holding a heart-shaped balloon, a fire-breathing belly button dragon, and a clawing tiger on the arm.
These are all worthwhile images. Even more samples seen are a Celtic design on the belly, Biblical passages on the back or leg, a tablet of Egyptian hieroglyphics, or even a treasure map, which can be a bit of clever fun for a girl. In addition, others that have made the ink scene include Buddha laughing, roses, supergirls, angels, fairies, Zodiac signs, shooting stars, Chinese characters, and dolphins on a girl's body.
One popular idea is to utilize a tattoo to cover a scar! Tattoos have become remarkably attractive and creative, some even managing to be provocative. Whatever the case may be, a proper image in ink can enhance the image of a girl.

The Great Symbol Of Chinese Culture - Dragon Tattoos
One of the common images of dragon resembles some sort of reptilian creature with lizard like features which dominates the image. The dragon tattoo images features the forked tongue which is common to reptilian creatures.
They are regarded as a symbol of mischief, wisdom, good, evil, adventure and strength. The type of images that are chosen depends upon the personal choice of the person which several men choosing tattoo designs that are either red or green and several women choosing tattoo designs which are either blue, purple or pink in color. The colors are as important as the design of the dragon tattoos.
If you consider the Chinese mythology then dragon tattoos are regarded as ancestors of the Chinese people since these creatures were symbols of supernatural and imperial power.
Fire spitting dragons have been associated with lightning water dragons which were regarded as guardians of lakes, streams, rivers and individual pools. Chinese and Japanese folk stories are filled with stories of creatures with special quests at the end of their journeys which were transformed into dragons but the fact is that dragons have grown out of human imagination.

Christian Cross Tattoos
Some cross tattoos show Jesus on the cross, while others show the cross, often with realistic wood graining, with a crown of thorns hung over one arm. Other cross tattoos consists of crossed nails such as big, rough looking nails like those that were used to hang Jesus on the cross.
Other popular Christian cross tattoo images include the Celtic cross (probably one of the most popular Christian tattoos of all), the Russian cross, and the Egyptian 'ankh', a cross with a circular shape on top, the ancient Egyptian symbol for 'life'.
Besides the cross, there are other Christian images that are often used in Christian cross tattoos. The fish symbol is a great illustration based on assorted biblical references, a stylized fish symbol is frequently used as a symbol of Christ. This is a compact, but quite prominent symbol that lends itself well to tattooing, especially in black.
However, there are also other tattoos that may be gang related such as the Hispanic Christian Cross Tattoos.
They are an interesting sub-group. If you know anything about their traditions, you won't be too surprised to learn that most Mexicans and other Hispanic people, even though they are involved in gangs or other criminal activities, are deeply religious and rely on their Christian symbols to both identify and protect them.
These Christian cross tattoos are rather complex, many involve a tattooed image of a saint, Jesus, or the Virgin Mary. Hispanic tattoos often have words, as well, usually a Bible verse, perhaps accompanied by a loved one's name. Many Mexican gang members have multiple sophisticated tattoos, allowing the individual to literally wear his identity and emotions on his skin, if not his sleeve!

Brilliant and Beautiful : Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired
It's stunningly beautiful. I admit, like many of Tori's songs, the message in some of the comics is a bit cryptic. Many of them are obtuse in their words, but gorgeous in their artwork. Some of them are silly in their artwork, but amazing in their story. Any way you slice it or dice it, this is a gorgeous optical orgy.
It's hard to not have the songs playing in your head while you're reading the book. I'm hoping they do another volume in the future because there are so many other songs that could be illustrated. Whether you love or hate Tori, you should pick up this book for the amazing artwork and the obvious love and attention they gave to her songs and her muse.
Easy Application TATTOO KIT FAIR/MED
Use some common sense, if you need to apply more, do so. Apply around the tattoo too.. and BLEND that area.. ON the tattoo it needs to be cakey, but the powdery stuff will keep it in place. If it's not exactly the right color you can add some colored powder you already have to adjust.
I used this on a BLACK tattoo on my wrist for my friend's wedding and it was amazing.. if you look close you can see there is some different texture to the area, but in pictures it looked like there was no difference to the area at all. I had a ribbon type thing I made to wear at the reception in case it ended up fading, but it lasted.
Covermark, the most trusted name in concealment cosmetics, offers the best way to temporarily and completely hide tattoos. Tames even the deepest, darkest design. Kit offers everything you need to tame tattoos, quickly, easily, painlessly, without anyone detecting they are there.

Apart from the pattern of the tattoo design, the colors and hues that you want your tattoo to display should also be the ones of your choice, and preferably ones that suit your skin tone.
It is extremely important that you remember the main reason behind getting the tattoo, and hence, also see that the tattoo design you select portrays the emotions behind it correctly. If it is for mere fashion, you could choose a trendy tribal tattoo design, or a symbolic and stunningly exquisite butterfly tattoo design.
Other than the requirements of the tattoo design that you choose, there are some that you as a purchaser need to consider, while looking for the perfect one. Here are the steps that you need to follow:
First, see that you look through all the available tattoo designs based on your chosen concept, present in various galleries on the internet, or with professional tattoo artists, and only then make your choice. If you want to bear a unique tattoo design, you could ask an artist to create one for you. Also keep in mind where exactly you you’re your tattoo to be situated on your body, and pick accordingly. Remember to keep the budget in mind too.
Next, you ought to find just the right tattoo artist, who will imprint the design onto your skin. You need to be careful while choosing one; see that he or she is a legitimate and expert flash artist.
Make sure that the needles and instruments used by the artist are sterile, you don’t want to end up with any kind of troubles due to it.
Once you have had your spectacular flash art inked into your skin, you will be ready to show it off to jealous viewers, and look gorgeous altogether. However, do remember to be absolutely certain that you want the tattoo, first of all, and also of the design that you select, for the simple reason that if you regret it later, the process of removal will not only be painful, but also very expensive. So choose wisely.
