Tattooing—A Brief History —

The word tattoo is said to have two major origins: 1st, from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means “striking something” 2nd, from the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means “to mark something” The history of this form of human body-art (decorative body modification) called “tattoo” began thousands of years ago and is as diverse as the people who wear them. These permanent designs—sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal—have served many functions: amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments, and even forms of punishment. Tattooing in Japan is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago. Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert Dyes.

Mural Tattoo (Telling Your Story) This involves incorporating different designs into one, mural like, unique tattoo. This is a good tattoo choice because you’re telling a story. Each tattoo can represent something important to you and the sum of all the tattoos placed together represents your life at the time or all the ideals you hold true as an individual. A great way to develop a mural tattoo is by going through an online tattoo catalog or collection and looking at all the various designs, while setting aside your favorites for potential inclusion into your mural.

Despite the taboo surrounding tattoo art, the tattoo industry is virtually celebrated. Currently, tattoo searches are ranked in the top 50 amongst popular search engines. During the 1900’s, the tattoo gallery was ranked the sixth fastest growing retail venture.

Consequently, every language is a favorite for tattoo designs; from tribal tattoo designs to Japanese and Chinese characters or symbols.

The tattoo industry has become extremely versatile in its market locations and designs. It has truly proven that ‘skin’ is in. Since 1936, it was estimated that at least 10 million Americans had at least one tattoo. By 2003, those numbers had nearly tripled. An incredible 36 percent of persons between the ages of 18- 25 and 40 percent of those aged 26- 40 had at least one tattoo according to a survey completed in 2006. The female tattoo gallery and feminine tattoos began to shine due to the increase in tattoo art amongst female actresses. Subsequently, it is safe to say that the tattoo culture predominately exists in society as a result of the growing number of celebrities who are inked along with their presence in movies, songs and art. Unique as it may be, tattoo history is still evolving in the attempt to beauty oneself.

Although tattoo removal is possible; removing the actual pigmentation is typically expensive and painful. It is recommended that you carefully think about your tattoo ideas as it is ideally a permanent fixture. Once you have decided to get inked and you have thoroughly looked through a tattoo gallery that has a variety of tattoo pictures and tattoo designs, then you must locate a reputable tattoo artist. The artist must practice good sanitation and is very aware of basic tattoo health risk. The tattoo professional must also be informed of the proper tattoo aftercare.

Tattoos are generally used as expression of status, spirituality, or simply a means to defy convention. For instance, a tattoo design that may be a direct representation for an individual may be the butterfly tattoo designs which sometimes represent the birth of a baby. Or someone may choose religious tattoos as a dedication to their faith. And, the dragon tattoo may represent defeat or courage. Historically, tattoos and tattooing are extremely controversial, eliciting both positive and negative reactions from people all over the world. Unfortunately, society lacks education about tattoos; their history and their significance. If people were actually educated with the information, they may appreciate the legacy and uniqueness of the art.

SEM – Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is a field where companies now spend tens of thousands of marketing dollars annually. In the field of Search Engine Marketing, like any other field, there are the good guys and the bad guys so buyers need to be informed and have some basic knowledge to effectively ascertain whether or not they are getting value for the dollar spent.My former company embarked on a new strategic direction and I made the decision not to continue with them. I had talked to others in my “mostly local” search engine marketing network in Portland and did not see the right opportunity working with any of these folks.Many aspects of a complete SEO effort can be outsourced, but some aspects are more effective when controlled by those most familiar with the product or service. SEO generally has a longer-term ROI than other Internet marketing methods because a website’s authority is generally built over time.Also like a TV commercial, the marketing and promotion of the site takes comparatively less time to implement, but must be a steady, ongoing process to be effective. It is a shame when a business owner spends the money to optimize their site, and then fails to follow through with “the rest of the job” in terms of marketing it. The initial costs of SEO go wasted in such instances.Regardless of whether or not your product or service is useful to an SEM vendor, they should be sending you potential prospects and partners. If they don’t, they aren’t a strategic partner and you’re missing out on growth opportunities.It is a good idea to link an inbound link with anchor text, as anchor text within the link is likely to get clicked for being a meaningful text. Emboldening the links also assist rankings to pick up. The site with inbound links to sub pages even does better than the links pointing to its home page. So, advisable is to go about link exchanging for sub pages.The stage 1 of SEM Business Blueprint will show you exactly why this is such an easy way to make thousands of dollars whilst you are working on other areas of your internet business, whether it be affiliate marketing, product creation, blogging or some other type of online venture.An important part of the tutorial and guide is the step by step instructions on how to launch a successful marketing campaign for your clients and all the little secrets you need to be aware of.The scheme is setup very professionally as to be estimated from Steve Clayton.

Hey Tattooed Fans and Friends, last time we talked about the Tattoo Do’s, now let’s take a look at some of the Tattoo Don’ts…

Don’t get a tattoo illegally. If some scratcher is taking the risk to tattoo you in his garage while you’re underage, chances are he’s putting your health at risk too. Wait until you are 18 and get your tattoo safely and legally by a Professional Tattoo Artist in a clean, licensed Tattoo shop. Otherwise, you could end up with an ugly tattoo, raised scar tissue, Hepatitis or much worse.

Don’t get a tattoo on a whim…or because you’re on vacation, or graduating, or because you’re bored. Never get a tattoo on a dare – you‘ll regret it later. And think long and hard before you get your boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s NAME tattooed on your body! I know you’re in love today…but will you be next year, or ten years from now? A tattoo lasts a lifetime, and although tattoo removal is possible, it’s very expensive and painful. If you have any doubts, wait until they clear up. KNOW what you want…THEN do it. (See that list of Tattoo Do’s)

Don’t pick or scratch your tattoo when it is healing. Your new tattoo WILL itch, it’s part of the healing process. Tattoos scab over just like an other open wound. Don’t pick at the scab because it takes off the color and can make your healed tattoo look spotted and blotchy.

Don’t expose your new tattoo to sunlight or indirect sunlight, UV rays are bad for tattoos. And…no tanning Bed! And stay out of the pool for at least two weeks, the chlorine(bleach) in the water can adversely affect your new ink.

Don’t use Neosporin, Vaseline or peroxide on your new tattoo. These products can pull the pigment (ink) from below the surface of the skin and ruin your new tattoo. Follow your Tattoo Artist’s detailed aftercare instructions.

Don’t get drunk or high before you get your tattoo. You’ll act like a jackass and end up pissing off your Tattoo Artist who is trying to concentrate and do something permanent on your skin. And alcohol thins your blood and makes you bleed more easily, and can also make you pass out more easily – ending your tattoo session. Choose your tattoo SOBER, and get your tattoo SOBER. Celebrate later. (Invite your Tattoo Artist…buy him/her a shot – or two!)

Don’t Bring your child to the tattoo studio. A tattoo shop is not a suitable environment for children. There are SHARP hazards, and other sights and sounds that children should NOT be exposed to. You will not be able to supervise your child while getting a tattoo or piercing. Your Tattoo Artist (and everyone else in the shop) will appreciate it if you can find a ‘sitter’ for the kids so that you can come to the studio alone.

Don’t bring a cheering section with you. Many tattoo shops will not let friends accompany you into the tattoo area and in some states it’s prohibited by law. Ask about bringing a (single) friend but Tattoo Artists won’t appreciate (or allow) 3 to 5 of your friends crowding around and disturbing the work area. And don’t have them take pictures unless EVERYONE agrees in advance.

Don’t ask for a deal, discount, break…or if the Tattoo Artist can cut you some slack. Cheap tattoos are often – cheap tattoos. And don’t bargain shop – go from Artist to Artist to see how cheaply you can get your tattoo. Tattoo Shops aren’t garage sales or flea markets. Tattoo Artists hate bargain shoppers and it shows you really don’t care how your tattoo looks. Every Tattoo Artist has a different style, most have a specialty (see the list of Tattoo Do‘s). Choose your Tattoo Artist for the work that they do – doing so will get you a tattoo you’ll love for a lifetime.

Hope you find this list of basic Tattoo Don’ts useful. And be sure to check out the list of Tattoo Do’s! Think before you ink! To read Part 1 of this article (and more like it) visit our collection of Tattoo and Body Suspension Articles HERE!
