What many people think of as modern tribal tattoo designs are based on work worn by the Dyak tribes people of Borneo. However, a lot of people today choose various tribal tattoo designs simply for aesthetic reasons. The artwork in "Tribal Tattoo Designs" is extensively detailed, of an academic nature, and should be on the bookshelf of all anthropologists. The art of tribal tattoo design doesn't just involve creativity but a passion for it. Transforming tribal tattoo designs into bodied jewellery is the latest fashion. The art of decorating the body with a tribal tattoo design dates back to the early Ice Age. If you are serious about the design you select, be aware. You may not be getting a true traditional tribal tattoo design, it could be a "tribal looking tattoo design" with little or no history. On the other hand, if you are part of a tribe, getting tribal tattoo designs might be the best tattoo for you to have. Also, with tribal tattoo designs you have to be sure that you are getting real tattoos with real meanings. Choose a tribal tattoo design for your tail bone or opt for one with deeper symbolism.
In just about every tattoo shop in America, you can find a huge selection of different tribal tattoo designs to choose from. The most popular styles are either tribal tattoo designs or floral tattoo designs. Today men and women of all races share in their love in unique and creative tribal tattoo designs.

Tattoos - Tips And Tricks
Did you know that you can possibly remove your tattoos and piercing manually? There are moments in a life of a person that he wanted to get a tattoo, and some time late in his life would want to remove the tattoo. Someone or something really in the life of a tattooed person might motivate him or her to get rid of the tattoos. Removing tattoos is possible. Though, there tattoo colors that are very difficult to eradicate. Black however, is the easiest to be removed. A person may persevere to get away with his tattoo manually but the process is similar to scraping the skin, which is harmful and can be infectious. Some scars are likely to be left during the removal of the tattooed skin. Aside from pain which one must endure during the removal of tattoo, the procedure is expensive. Deciding to remove either tattoos or piercings manually must be done wisely. Better yet, if you are not confident about the manual or self-removal of tattoos and piercing, look for better means of removing them that guarantee your safety. Some can heal their piercing in the long run, if no heavy jewelry is dangled in it. In other words, it was left without any jewels being put on which would enlarge the whole.
Did you know that piercing and tattooing is part of who a person is? Anybody who dreams to copy his favorite full-bodied tattooed and with piercing icon may follow the admired persons footsteps. Tattoo and piercing are reflections of what and who a person is in terms of fashion statement and subculture. Some would say that their sexuality is better off enhanced by body tattoos and piercing. Are they really sexy and beautiful on the eyes? Perhaps, these two body markings are fashionably acceptable but at times become an addiction especially if ones basis is their vanity. A person can hardly be stopped from having other parts of his body be pierced especially if they had begun with his ears or tongue. The nose bridge, eyebrows, chest, navel, nipple and other parts may be the next to be pierced. The same thing also applies in body tattooing. A small tattoo can little by little ask by the body owner to be enlarged. If you have ever seen a person with tattoo or excessive body piercing, you would immediately have an impression of who he is as a person the one who is trying to establish his own identity. The tattoos design can be a determinant of a persons identity. A person who has maintained a clean body that is free from any tattoo or piercing, connotes a special feature in his being that is dignified and hygienic. The interpretation of what or who a person is in terms of body arts alone is subjective to ones life orientation and cultures. Generally, the life experiences of the involved or tattooed or pierced individuals influenced them in determining whether to have their body be tattooed or pierced.
Did you know that the duration for conducting body tattooing depends upon where the tattoo was operated? When you want to have body tattoo, the first thing you would consider is the design. Should it be small or big? First and foremost, size is the primary consideration. The bigger the tattoo, the longer is the procedure for body tattooing. The complexity of the design is another factor. The more complex the design is, the more time required for body tattooing. The artist has to plan out meticulously and carefully and craft creatively the design to your skin, and it takes considerable amount of time to do this. Size and complexity of design are the two primary considerations to know about the length or duration of the body tattooing procedure. Another factor is the area where the tattoo will be placed. Those areas which the artist has an easy grip like the arm and the legs take shorter duration in body tattooing whereas those which are flat surfaced area like in the stomach takes longer time to conduct the procedure. The skin in the arm and legs are a lot easier to apply the tattoo dye because the skin in these areas can be easily stretched while those in the stomach are a lot difficult. Skin stretching is essential in applying the tattoo.
Did you know how a tattoo is removed? A person who has first pondered about the idea of getting himself a tattoo should have first considered if s/he could take his tattoo for a lifetime because if s/he is uncertain or would after a decade or less decide to have it removed, then the common last resort which is the removal process gives off worse painful experiences. The tattoo removal is not only a real painful experience, but also costly. There are three known methods of tattoo removal: laser removal, dermabrasion, and salabrasion. Among the three procedures, the most expensive is laser removal. A tattoo can only be entirely removed after multiple laser removal sessions. Does laser removal procedure guarantee a complete riddance of body tattoo? No, it doesnt. There is a minor pain during the process of laser removal and the pain is multiplied during recovery stage. The patient may choose to surgically scrape the tattooed skin part through the process of dermabrasion. This is truly painful but its effectiveness can be better assessed once the skin is healed or has regenerated. Another painful procedure is scraping off the skin part using a rubbing rock and salt through the process of salabrasion. The tattooed person may choose from the previously mentioned methods of tattoo removal, but for better medical result, s/he must look for licensed clinics to do the operation for highly guaranteed outcome.
Did you know that body tattooing and piercing are as old as the human civilization? Many cultures have been practicing body piercing and tattooing for centuries. How was the long history of body art proven? A 4,000 year old tattooed man that was discovered on the Austrian borders' glaciers, was a proof of the lengthy history of body tattooing. What is the connotation of every culture's tattoo and or piercing? In different cultures tattoo or pierces may connote fertility, nobility or royalty, for ornamental, cosmetic and religious purposes, criminals' identifications and punishment, identification of valor and virility. Body tattooing and piercing have long been practiced and have somewhat become common to many. However, every person must be fully aware that the presence of either body tattoo or piercing varies in purpose and each person has different impression on a fully tattooed person or greatly pierced individual. We can hardly remove the practices of tattooing and piercing, universally speaking, because these two have almost become integral parts of the humankind. However, the issues on question here is that whether the exaggeration of tattoo or pierces would be acceptable to different borders of the world. The competitive arena of employment marginalizes those who are with great number of tattoos and pierces for stereotyping that these people are either into drugs, gangs or evil-like influences. The body tattoos and piercing had been part of man's lives for centuries, but with the advancement of time, the orientation about what is good and acceptable to the community varies.

Tattoo Removal Options
Looking for tattoo removal options to get rid of that sailor tattoo you got in your younger years? Maybe you're tired of looking at the inked name of the person who is no longer your significant other.
Options have increased over the years and so has the effectiveness and the results you can experience. Some hair removal processes can also be used for tattoo removal. Laser systems normally used for hair removal can also be used to get rid of unwanted ink. So can light-based hair removal systems.
In each case, light energy is used to destroy the tattoo ink. The light energy gets absorbed by the tattoo ink and the ink breaks up as a result. The ink then then gets filtered out of your body. Typically, the use of laser or light-based treatment results in the same sort of feeling experienced when these two options are used for hair removal:
The feeling is similar to snapping an elastic band against your skin so in that regard, people tend to experience little discomfort.
Some practitioners might use an anesthesia on the skin to minimize pain. The level of pain or discomfort you experience can vary so its best to check with your practitioner beforehand. The time needed to complete your treatment obviously depends on the size of your tattoo and you may require several treatments to completely remove it. To find a practitioner offering tattoo removal, you might search for local laser or light-based hair removal practitioners who also specialize in tattoo removal. The practitioner I used for light-based hair removal treatment also offered tattoo removal treatment using the same machine.
Local plastic surgeons and dermatologists might also offer these services or they might at least point you in the right direction.

Are you preventing your child from attending birthday parties?
Your little child and her friends are used to exciting parties. Your child too deserves to be the one to throw a bash. Here's how not to over indulge.
Today's must-haves: Magic shows. DJs. Tattoo artists. Party hosts and games. Dances to be danced. Games to be played. Prizes to be won. Theme based invites, decorations and return gifts. Moon walkers, trampolines and hair braiding.
Todays parties are not home-made
If you have accompanied your child to even one party, you will agree with me. Gone are the days when a bunch of kids played tail-the-donkey and ate cheese sandwiches and chips. Today, birthday parties can be nearly as elaborate and as stressful as planning her wedding will be a few years hence!
Indulge them
Your child has got used to these high excitement levels in a party. And will probably long to be lording over one too, where he or she has the right of way, and the chance to be the first the tattoo man paints.
In a few years, the best friends only parties will set in. When parties may not be as much of a come-one-come-all affair.
So let them be prince/princess for the day.
Small or big
Never forget whose party it is. As long as your child is under 4, you can invite your own friends. And so spare your child the stress of having to share prized possessions with lots of other children. Invite only his special friends from nursery, he needs to feel special and comfortable. Once over 4, you may as well invite the whole class, it saves having to choose who to invite, and economies of scale can be applied for bulk discounts. Over 7's will want only a handful of close friends. Your years of hard labour have now well and truly ended!
What to hold on to
With a few rules, parties can be not such a bank-breaking situation.
* Keep the planning child-focused. Thematic parties are very nice, but the kids will have too many other things to do than notice the plates and décor don't match.
* Restrict the numbers if you can. Children need a break and it is great to let them just be able to relax and have a good time with a few close friends. Another good way of explaining numbers to children is to say 'as many friends as years'.
* If you hand out invitations personally, don't have the guest of honor do it in a play group or classroom situation. Not only does this result in lost invitations, it avoids having to invite more to avoid hurting the feelings of children who are not invited.
* Pick an inexpensive location. Parks and building compounds are perfect for large groups of kids - they're free, and there's plenty of room to have fun. If your child wants to go somewhere expensive, such as an amusement park, have him or her invite just one special friend.
* There are restaurants and malls that have special play centers that are let out for birthdays. Some even come with hosts, gifts and food as part of the package. These often work out cheaper (and more relaxing for mom) than even an at-home party.
* Invites can be got cheap. There are sites, for instance, with templates you can mix and match and create your own personal invites.
* Keep the décor simple. Balloons are cheap, easy and affordable. And creates the ambience that is exciting to any child, however jaded the adults may feel.
* Get a good host to do the hard work, and organize the games. This may not fall into the "cheap" category, but it definitely falls into "sensible". A good host does the hard work, leaving you free to be with the moms.
* Kids get too excited to eat too much. A party comes to an end when the food is served and the mothers all try to get the little guests to do justice to the spread. Pasta, french fries and jelly make a meal children can handle themselves, and which they can enjoy without getting overwhelmed.
What to let go of
* Get them a birthday cake with all the flowers, animals, silver stuff and characters. Children end up eating the decorations more than the actual cake; watch them oooh and aaah and poke a sly finger even before the candles are blown.
* Kids often judge the party by the return gifts. Spoiling all the little ones in this one issue may be well worth the pleasure it brings them. There are various stores these days specializing in quality return gifts at discounted prices.

White Buffalo Tattoos
White Buffalo Custom Tattoos and Body Piercing. Professional service without the attitude. Instead of copying and reproducing Tattoo Flash that has been done a million times. We believe every person has the right to their own unique Artwork. Bring your ideas and imagination and let us create the Design you'll be proud to wear for a lifetime. Martin Bravek, born in Vienna Austria. Tattooing for about 11 years. I received my first Tattoo at "Great Southern Tattoo" in Baltimore and that was it. I was determined to learn the ancient Art form. Finally Johnny and Biggy from "European Body Art in Vienna" let me in on the secrets that are important to be not just a Tattooist but an Tattoo Artist. Since then I tattooed in Davie Florida, at Tattoo Blues, Hard Luck Tattoo, Ft. Lauderdale. And finally opened White Buffalo Custom tattooing 4 years ago. This gave me the opportunity to concentrate on Custom Requests rather than tattooing in a beach shop doing numerous little butterflies and flash pieces of the wall, which never satisfied me at all. To the people that I opened my heart to and gave them all my knowledge just to get stabbed in the back. “F**k you”. However the biggest Thanks to Christian Mader (RIP) from "Maders Finest Tattoos", (Austria) Rob Welt at "The Liquid Dragon", (North Carolina), "Traveling Kelly", (all over the USA) and last but not least my Wife Iris for putting up with me all these years.

Tribal Tattoo Designs
Tribal tattoos have existed in society for a long period of time. Though they seemed to become missing for a period of time, they are experiencing a revival again. Tribal tattoos are mainly popular because there is a feeling that they are connected with many secret tribes of the past. It might also be due to the fact that people who have traced their lineage to ancient tribes want something to remind them of their ancestry.
The tribal tattoos can help indicate a wide range of expressions. They can be used to identify a person as belonging to a particular group or tribe or as an enemy. They were also used to indicate the rank of a person in the chain of command in the ancient tribal societies. The tattoo sported by a king would be unique. In the same way, the tattoo sported by a soldier would be different from that of a common man.
The present generation has taken a liking to these tribal tattoos for a very good reason. These tattoos bring to light some very important features of the ancient tribal societies which even the present generation would like to imitate. For instance, the persons getting the same type of tattoos were supposed to remain together for the whole life according to the customs of the ancient tribes. They were also used as a pointer to the presence of various life forces. They were used to represent energy, ability, skill and power and could be used to inculcate positive feelings within the person.
Popularity of certain tribal tattoos depends on the choice of the person getting them. For example, flower tattoos would be favored exclusively by women and armband tattoos by men with well built biceps. In ancient tribes, the caliber of men and women to go through certain tasks was judged by their ability to counter the pain while getting a tattoo. Adam is the owner of A Large Tattoo Community.

For instance, the persons getting the same type of tattoos were supposed to remain together for the whole life according to the customs of the ancient tribes. They were also used as a pointer to the presence of various life forces. They were used to represent energy, ability, skill and power and could be used to inculcate positive feelings within the person.
Popularity of certain tribal tattoos depends on the choice of the person getting them. For example, flower tattoos would be favored exclusively by women and armband tattoos by men with well built biceps. In ancient tribes, the caliber of men and women to go through certain tasks was judged by their ability to counter the pain while getting a tattoo. Adam is the owner of A Large Tattoo Community.

Edinburgh's Military Tattoo: one of the city's most historic festivals
Every August, Edinburgh turns into festival city, and one of the most popular festive celebrations is the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Annually, over 200, 000 people visit the Tattoo, set on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, to show their support for one of the most well-known and historic of Edinburgh's Festivals.
The Edinburgh Tattoo officially began in 1950, with only eight events on the programme. However, the tradition of the tattoo has its roots in the seventeenth century, when British Army units were stationed in the Low Countries of Scotland. Drummers from each garrison were sent into towns every evening to summon the soldiers of the army to return to their barracks, in a ritual that was known as 'Doe den tap toe' (or simply 'tap toe').
Today, the Edinburgh Tattoo has turned into an enormous international event that showcases the best in Scottish and global talent. Over the years, various international military regiments - and even some African tribes - have performed, a tradition begun in 1952 when the Royal Netherlands Grenadiers were invited to participate in the show. Over 30 countries have been represented in the Tattoo so far, and its audience is just as eclectic. It is estimated that 30 per cent of the Edinburgh Tattoo's audience is from Scotland, with another 35 per cent from the UK. The remaining 35 per cent of the audience originates in countries outside the UK, with another 100 million viewers watching the TV broadcast of the event worldwide.
For many people, the highlight of the Edinburgh Tattoo is the massed pipes and drums provided by regiments from both the British Army and global armies with Scottish links. Every evening during each performance of the Tattoo, the show concludes with a flag-lowering ceremony, which is accompanied by bugles sounding the Last Post (or the "Sunset bugle call of the Royal Marines), and ultimately ends with a lone piper in a single spotlight playing on the walls of Edinburgh Castle.
While the Edinburgh Tattoo sells out months in advance every year, the 2005 Tattoo proved especially popular. This was because the 2005 event was the last time all six infantry regiments of the Scottish Division appeared at the Tattoo, before being amalgamated into the single Royal Regiment of Scotland. 2005 also saw the largest gathering of pipes and drums in the event's history.
For anyone thinking about visiting during the Edinburgh festivals season to see the Military Tattoo, late ticket or accommodation bookings can be difficult, however many of the online travel or short break sites, such as Superbreak, frequently have special offers on hotels in Edinburgh and Tattoo ticket deals on offer, so even you won't be left out. So, what are you waiting for? Visit Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Military Tattoo for some of the best in military entertainment.
