Bizarre Tattoos

Some of the strangest places on the human body people can get tattoos, I believe, is the face, but as strange as this may seem, I believe this to be a beautiful thing. I really believe that no matter what anyone thinks, if you want to decorate your body and show the world, then do it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Why do people do this?

Bizarre tattoos are amongst us all and that is what makes us unique. The true gift of a tattoo.The essence of the art. The creator and artists. The everlasting signature. Yes, it may look strange to some, but for others, it may look even stranger without.

When confronted with someone, I look at the whole picture, the art, the details, the extreme time and patience it took to create such a wonderful and beautiful design. Yes, the art of tattoos has been around for centuries and will always be around.

I look forward to seeing even more bizarre and more beautiful tattoos in the future. I believe the artists deserve more recognition for the awesome and amazing work they perform when creating tattoos. If the work most of them creates were to be transformed onto a canvas, much of the art would be hanging in museums all over the world today. I believe this is what makes Tattoo art so different from other art forms. It is an art that can't be duplicated and is unique in every way and form.

Thank you to all tattoo artists out there. Thank you for creating such beauty. Please continue to do so because you are such true artists in my eyes!

Styles of Tattoos

There are many different styles of tattoos:

Tattoos have managed to pull itself up from its suspect and seedy past with a bad reputation to become an art form that is the subject of human exhibition and self-expression today. Today tattoos have become an art form with new and better tattoo artists coming up with a huge number of styles of tattoos.

When you visit a tattoo parlor or look at an online tattoo gallery, you find that there is a wide range of tattoo styles available and a massive range of styles to choose from. The usual criteria used for choosing tattoos is usually its size, the love for someone, depicting a certain culture or sect or as a status symbol.

Men prefer strong and powerful styles of tattoos:

Men prefer to use identity symbols more than decorative devices that have traditional images like snakes, black panthers and eagles. The most popular option in men are skulls, daggers dripping blood, dragons and basically any image that depicts male strength and valor. Heart tattoos are best used to depict love for both men and women. This is a tattoo that has endured the test of time and is still growing in popular. Tribal styles are becoming more and more popular.

The symbol depicting mystery, power, wisdom and good will is the dragon tattoo. This is because dragons are considered to be good luck and have qualities including strength and courage.

Animal tattoos are the most popular of all. This is because animal tattoos relate to animals that we use to demonstrate the inner connections we have with fine beasts and the similarities we exhibit with these animals. Snake tattoos and reptiles are becoming more and fashionable.

Similarly, bird tattoos have lots of reverence in the tattoo world. Some of the most popular bird tattoos are the eagle, dove, swallow and birds of prey tattoos. Once again, the nature and attitude of the birds are taken into consideration when choosing the bird tattoo.

Women prefer floral styles of tattoos:

Women prefer having floral tattoos and styles of tattoos that are a lot subtler in nature. Other options are of cherry blossom, lotus flower tattoos, blossom, lily and tree tattoos.

Sea creatures are very popular that people like wearing. Sea creature tattoos connect us with our past and the mythical creatures of the deep have a wide appeal. Those who are very spirituality prefer angel tattoos, as they are important in many religions like Christianity, Jewish and Islamic faiths. These angels are considered to be the messengers of god who are protective to us, like guardian angels looking over us.

There are some tattoos that have specific meanings and are meant to cater to specific people while there are generalized tattoos. In Japan, households are represented by the chrysanthemum to depict determination and steadfastness while the peony is used to depict wealth and good fortune.
