So I thought that Id best learn a little bit about the history of tattooing seeing as i'm going to get one in a few days. apparently tattooing goes way back to nearly 3000 years ago. That's a very long time. Many cultures and tribes use tattooing as a form of identification or as a sign of fertility, rank or even as a sign of been a criminal (much like todays prison tattoos). tattoos have fallen in and out of fashion ever since they were 'invented' really. all throughout the victorian period tattoos were mainly worn by sailors and criminals but rarely by those of middle or upper class society.
r. Every different tattoo pattern symbolises something different and there is one special pattern reserved especially for Maori chiefs when they become chief of their tribe.
Random but hey I thought that it'd go well up on here. Apparently the most piercings done in one session is 1015!!! That's mad! It took 7 hours 55 minutes and was performed in England in 2004 at Sunderland Body Art. Mad. Here's a picture of the poor idiot that volunteered for the process. Mad.
Ok so we went tot the tattoo shop on Friday night (me and my housemate that is) and met the girlie who's going to do my little foot tattoo. She's called Beki and she's really lovely. Plus she's got loads of piercings and tattoo's so I have full confidence in her abilities!! Just got to wait to get the thing done now (Next week) I'm quite nervous now!!! Have a look at her portfolio and see what you think.
If you sit and look through the gossip magazines in the supermarket nowadays you''' have to be blind to miss the amount of tattoo's that celebrities have nowadays. It's not just normal people who have them, the immoral superstars of the world are also addicted to body art.
This is Hannah M, Hannah is a friend of a friend of a friend (you know what I mean) She found me on the group that I created using facebook and sent me some background into her tattoo, what it is and what it means.
