girls’ tattoo

as for me, i don’t like girls to make big tattoos on their backs or shoulders. i think women’s tattoos should be small, sexy and beautiful! but did you see the yakudza tatto? they are so mmm exotic and terrible. recently i’ve seen a special report in one of the magazines about a woman-yakudza (japanesse mafia)1 her back and hand were tightly covered by different pictures!

Did you know that…

The first tattoos were done in Polynesian islands and had their own sense. All signs that were done on peoples skins meant something. The weren’t a decorative “accessories”, but served as a parameter of attitude to a society.

Obviously enough, people, societies and cultures connote different meanings with the practice of tattooing. Although it is normally viewed as an instrument of self-expression through body decorations. For some groups, tattoos act as marks to signify the social position of an individual.

For some, it signifies as a passage of rite especially in entering manhood (or womanhood).

It is interesting because al people perceive such symbolic differently. So we can learn people with help of tattoos.

Also it is important to choose the right signs, that signs which will act as the personal characteristic.

Be careful with the choice and be special!

Tattoo studio

In order to choose a specialist and studio, it is vital to do a research. There are a lot of specialists, but not all are licenced and have sterile work conditions. When you come to a studio, be careful and do a request to be sure they have all essencial documents. Also ask to notify you about the quality of paint.

It is known that many illnesses are transmitted by blood and innocent tattoo can cause serious deseases as hepatitis, HIV, etc.  Please! Bare in mind that all instruments must be sterile. Be careful and good luck!

“Kolibri” is the name of the most famous tattoo studio in Almaty. It is thought that even some celebrities have made tattoos here. To make a tattoo is quit expensive in “Kolibri”, but it reliable and certified studio.  Their specialists have a licence to do tattoos. In their catalogues wide range of picturies to choose. I would recommend this tattoo studio.

How to get rid of tattoos

There are several reasons for doing it. Sometimes you are just fed up with the permanent picture on your body. Sometimes tatto is not made efficently. Or maybe you have  broken up with the guy whose name is on your skin. Anyway, you need to remove your tattoo and of course you should know about the pros and cons of different ways of removal. Describtion was taken from the source: http://tattoo.about.com/od/tatremoval/a/tatremoval_2.htm

Laser Removal
Today, lasers are the most common method of tattoo removal. They work by targeting the ink with pulses of highly concentrated light that break the ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away the your own immune system. However, this isn’t all done with just one treatment. The more treatments you have, the more the laser can penetrate to destroy the ink. But, the more treatments you have, the more damage you do to your skin, causing painful blisters and scabs that can eventually lead to scarring. Experts in removal therapy say that technology has advanced to the point where scarring is minimal, sometimes non-existant, but this can vary depending on the situation.

On top of being physically painful (it has been described as feeling like being splattered with hot grease), laser removal can be painful to your wallet as well. Depending on your tattoo, you may need anywhere from 1-10 sessions, each costing in the range of $250-$850 per session. A large, professional tattoo in color could cost thousands of dollars to remove, and the effectiveness of the removal still isn’t guaranteed.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, or IPL, is the newest and greatest dermal enhancer currently being used. Instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light in pretty much the same manner. A gel is applied to the skin and then a wand is used to emit pulses of light onto the skin area being treated. This method is said to be less painful than laser therapy, and more effective, resulting in less total treatment sessions. The bad news is that it also carries a heftier price tag – one clinic offering a price of $10 per pulse. Depending on how many pulses per session your tattoo requires, this could add up to a significant amount of money.

Other Medical Methods
There are other methods of tattoo removal, but most of them are so painful and ineffective that laser removal replaced them as soon as it became available. These other methods include dermabrasion, which would actually “sand” away the top layer of skin through abrasive friction. Another method is excision, where the tattoo would be cut away and the skin sewn back together. These methods have proved to cause much damage to the skin and result in severe scarring, and are only used today in extreme cases where laser surgery is not an option.

Do-It-Yourself Cream Removals
I have not personally tested any of the at-home cream removal methods I have seen advertised – even the ones that appear right here on this website. Honestly, I would not expect a whole lot from them. However, the Tattoo Removal Institute  states that they have tested a few of these products, and found a couple of them to live up to their claims. According to their research, both TatBGone and Tattoo-OFF did show significant fading of the tattoos without any pain or damage to the skin. Another website,Remove that tattoo!, also hails tattoo removal cream systems as “The only proven way to remove tattoos without surgery”. I am still very skeptical, but if you really need a tattoo removed and don’t have the money for surgery, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try one or both of these products. It’s not chump change, though – a 2 month supply of Tat B Gone is $125, and it takes several months to get the desired results, according to the Tattoo Removal Institute. A 2 month supply of Tattoo-OFF is $116.95. So, it isn’t inexpensive by any means, but certainly a lot more affordable than laser surgery. But before you shell out any money for these products, you might want to read some of the comments that have been sent in by people who have tried them.

 Good luck! and be careful when making a tattoo, mind out about possible removal!

How to choose a tattoo

There are a lot of tattoo images available out there. Humanity’s natural love for artistic expression prompts them to make use of even their bodies to declare their personalities.
What should you consider in choosing a tattoo image?

Here are some tips:

1. Interests – In choosing a tattoo image, you need to think about getting one that signifies your interests. This way, you can be sure that the tattoo does reflect your character trait.
In considering your interests, make sure that you choose a tattoo image that reflects an actual interest and not just a fad.
Choose an interest that has been there, and will be there, for a long time to come. After all, tattoo images will be therefore a long, long time.
If you consider your interests, you will end up with a tattoo image that may serve as a conversation-starter with people who have the same interest.

2. Symbolism – It is important to study the different symbolic meanings of tattoo images you intend to get.
 You need to be careful about this, since not all cultures interpret tattoo images the same way.
You need to be sure that interpretations of the tattoo image you intend to get do not conflict with the ideologies you have as a person.
If you choose a religious symbol, be sure that you have thoroughly researched about that religion and the implications of putting a tattoo image of it in your body.
Each tattoo image also has a lot of interpretations and can change in meaning depending on the other tattoo images you put it with, the part of the body you place it on, and the position of the tattoo image.
However, you also need to remember that there area lot of symbolic interpretations for different tattoo images. As long as you know what you wish to represent, then you can choose any tattoo image you like.
There are a lot of resources on the internet which you can use to research on the meanings of different tattoo images.
Some tattoo artists also know the significance of their designs and will explain them to you if you ask.

3. Location –As said before, the placement of a tattoo image affects its meaning, not to mention its aesthetic quality.
Of course, a tattoo image on the arm has a different impact from a tattoo in the small of your back.
From strength to sensuality, masculinity to femininity, the location of tattoo images can convey any message.
It can also show your allegiance or membership to a certain group. Secret societies often make use of tattoo images in specific body parts in order to distinguish their members.
Of course, included in this aspect is your need for stealth. Do you need to hide your tattoo from anyone? Well, you need to place your tattoo in a very precise location, where you can be sure not to accidentally reveal it.
4. Aesthetics – Of course, the primary reason some people get tattoo images is for someone to see them. That’s why aesthetic value should be among your top considerations in getting a tattoo image.
You need your tattoo image not only to convey the message you wish, but to also look good.
This makes the tattoo image easier to understand and more fun for you to show-off.
