Kids in this new millennium want so badly to rebel and make some sort of a statement regarding their image and independence. However, have you noticed what they always tend to resort to? I will give you two guesses. One should be tattoos and the other should be body piercings. Yes indeed, I have definitely seen my share of both. Personally I don't have any and I'm a 30 year old man. I actually feel relieved by the fact that I never conformed to the masses. Yeah, that's what I said; conformed. The truth is if you're acquiring body art or piercings in this day and age, you're anything but original. Just take a glance around our society and you'll soon see what I mean. You'd be better off getting temporary tattoos and non piercing body jewelry. At least then you could change your mind down the road.
I wouldn't say that I'm against body art and piercings. I would just say that I'm for non piercing body jewelry and temporary tattoos. They provide options. Trust me when I tell you that you may change your mind at the age of 40 or 50. However, at that point it is basically too late. I just spoke with a gentleman last week at a custom knife show and he was showing me a scar he had from having a tattoo removed. It was not a pretty sight to say the least. He claimed that he definitely regretted getting it when he was 19 and had to have it removed. On the other hand, he said that it hurt so badly to have it buffed off. This sounds like a no win situation if you ask me. I think it just makes more sense to get temporary tattoos and non piercing body jewelry. As you know, I mentioned that getting a tattoo was not original in any way. I say this because most folks have them. If you don't believe me, just take a quick survey. Heck, at college I saw a tattoo on the lower back of hundreds of girls. Not to mention all the one guys get on their arms. It's just so played out.
So here's the deal; you think you want a tattoo or body piercing. This is all fine and good, so why not give temporary tattoos and non piercing body jewelry a shot first. This way you will know if it's something you can deal with for the rest of your days. Well, at least you'll have some idea of what it's like. Get online and check them out.

Factors Regarding The Cost Of Tattoo Removal Processes
When people get tattoos on their body that they no longer feel inclined to keep, they do have an option in getting them removed. However, this option of tattoo removal is not a cheap venture. The process can cost up to thousands of dollars and there are a number of different things that will affect the cost of a tattoo removal process.
http://www.refresharticles.com/articles/tattoos/Factors%20Regarding%20the%20Cost%20of%20Tattoo%20Removal%20Processes.txt
The first factor is which kind of procedure is performed. The most common tattoo removal process today is done by laser, unless there is a circumstance which makes another type of process necessary or requested. Still, the laser tattoo removal process is one of the most painless and is what the majority of people choose. In this instance, the factors that play into the cost include the number of necessary visits, the size of the tattoo, the location of the tattoo and the colors used in the dye of the tattoo. When it comes to the number of visits that are necessary for the tattoo removal process, the older the tattoo the more visits the removal process may take. This is because the dye has had longer to adhere to the dermis layer of the body.
It is also fair to say that if the tattoo is large, it will be more expensive than a tattoo that is smaller in size. Different areas of the body are more susceptible to healing than others, and this also depends on the individual patient. This will affect the tattoo removal process because the more imbedded and healed the ink is in the dermis layer, the more difficult it will be to remove the pigment. In turn, this may mean that the patient will require more sessions, increasing the cost.http://www.refresharticles.com/articles/tattoos/Factors%20Regarding%20the%20Cost%20of%20Tattoo%20Removal%20Processes.txt
Belly Button Rings
Have you jumped on the band wagon? I'm talking about belly button rings. Please don't tell me that you had yours before they became all the rage. If I hear that one more time, I think I'm going to hurl. Maybe I should start telling people I had hair before it was all the rage. What do you think they would have to say about that? Regardless, there are attractive ways to go about belly button rings, and then there are poor ways. First of all, this is clearly not a trend for males. I have never in my life heard a woman comment about how much they like some dude's belly button ring.
The truth is our society has deemed that particular piercing a feminine one. Now, unfortunately these days so many individuals have belly button rings that it's definitely no longer the unique thing to do. So if you're interested in belly button rings because you find them unique, I suggest you take another look around. Like the tattoo on the lower back, belly button rings have become quite standard on American girls. This is not to say that the naval ring is not attractive or appealing, because it certainly can be. Heck, take a look at the Victoria's Secret models. I'm sure most men find those belly button rings quite beautiful. In reality, if you feel comfortable piercing your naval, then that's what counts. With the plethora of belly button rings available these days, there is definitely much to choose from. Hop online anytime for a massive array of belly button rings to suit any individual.

Be The Fan Of A Lifetime With Celebrity Tattoos
Although many celebrities are well-known for having tattoos, tattoos are now being known as looking like celebrities. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Martin Luther King, Jr. have been popular celebrity tattoos since the 1960’s. Today, you can order a tattoo of any celebrity you wish. Just be really, really certain you want Billy Bob Thornton looking out to the world through your left arm for the rest of your life.
How Do They Do It?
Tattoo artists are exactly that – artists. Whatever you imagine, they will do their best to make that image a reality that you can take with your everywhere. They just use ink, needles and human skin for their art materials rather than paint or canvas. The method of getting a complicated dragon eating baked beans design around your belly button is the same as for getting a heart that says “MOTHER” or for getting celebrity tattoos. First, the artist needs a stencil of your design. In the case of celebrity tattoos, they need a good black and white portrait in order to make a clear outline (or “stencil”) of the design on your flesh in black ink. Then, through separate visits, colors are added as needed.
But I Worship An Obscure British Rock Star
This writer has been a knocked out fan of obscure British rock star Peter Gabriel for over twenty-five years. I did not think celebrity tattoos could be done of, well, C-list celebrities. They certainly can. Displayed proudly on tattoo artist Tom Renshaw’s website is a portrait of Peter Gabriel placed on a lucky fan’s limb.
So, the question remains – will this writer get a Peter Gabriel tattoo? Well, I can’t tolerate pain, so probably not. Ask me again if he should happen to die before I do. But if I were to develop nerves of steel, I would research all about the tattoo parlors in my area that I could, whether on line, through word of mouth, or in tattoo trade magazines, including Tattoo Artist Magazine. Picking an artist to put my beloved’s face on my hoo-ha would involve the same care as picking a portrait oil or watercolor portraitist. Then, I would visit the parlor and check out to see if it looks clean. I would be sure the tattoo artist is familiar with doing men’s portraits. I could even ask to see photos of his or her previous work of celebrity tattoos on other customers. If I like the artist’s style, I would get the Peter Gabriel permanent tattoo and bring a bullet to bite on.

Creepy Yet Creative: Skull Tattoos
As popular as tattoos have become, they remain an artist statement of rebellion for many people. In older times, it was though that only people of ill-repute had tattoos. Actually tattoos have been a source of tribal cultures for thousands of years. However, they still have that edginess to them in modern United States society, and no tattoo is more edgy than the skull tattoo.
About Skull Tattoos
If you have ever seen a skull tattoo on someone, perhaps you became a beat wary of that person if you did not know them well. The skull has long been the symbol of death and danger, and that is why some people choose to get skull tattoos – to make them look tough.
In fact, skull tattoos are often associated with biker gangs. Perhaps the sight of a skull was meant to warn people that the bikers were to be reckoned with. Skull tattoos are also popular amongst young people as a sign of rebelliousness. However, skull tattoos can have other meanings.
For example, if you are a literary person and you like Hamlet by William Shakespeare, perhaps you would want a skull tattoo to symbolize that play, since Hamlet’s famous soliloquy is made while he his holding a skull in one hand.
Some people wonder how a person could ever want a skull tattoo. After all, isn’t a skull by itself rather boring? Well, not today, since tattoo artists are better than ever at their craft. For example, by just adding some lighter ink, a tattoo artist can make a skull look three-dimensional by having the sunken eyes glow.
If you are thinking of getting a skull tattoo, and you want to have a professional career, keep in mind the placement of the tattoo. Some professions do not want to have tattoos visible on their employees, so be sure to place it somewhere that can be visible informally, but easily covered if need be.
Also, are you getting a skull tattoo because a skull really does hold a deeper symbolic meaning for you, or are you doing it just because you can? Remember that a tattoo is meant to stay on your body forever. If you want one removed it will coast both time and money.
If you want more information on skull designs, be sure to search the internet, since many tattoo websites have online portfolio galleries. You are sure to find the right design for you with the proper research.

Don’t Let Your Kanji Tattoo Get “Lost In Translation”
Thinking of getting a kanji tattoo or kanji jewelry? Then arm yourself with this information before you buy anything. It may be the difference between being cool and national humiliation.
What? National humiliation? Well OK, national humiliation is an unlikely outcome, but an article in the March 1st, 2005 Washington Post Express shows that the possibility is there. "Lost in Translation" looked at the real dangers facing the unwary consumers who get kanji tattoos.
I am not joking when I say “real dangers”. But neither am I referring to unhygenic tattooing practices. What I am talking about is toe-curlingly appalling linguistic blunders. Specifically, I mean kanji combinations like these:
- Extremely Military Affairs Stopping
- Crazy Diarrhea
- Weird (tattooed on one B. Spears)
Yes, these are phrases that real people (yes, Britney Spears is a real person) actually have had tattooed into their skin.
To be honest, I am not entirely surprised at these and other errors. After all, I have seen many reversed images of kanji being offered for tattoos, and kanji jewelry that simply did not mean anything like it was supposed to.
One necklace, I remember, had the kanji for “road” on it - although the poor owner had been told it meant love. I guess her love hit the road and didn't come back no more, no more, no more, no more....
As Tian Tang puts it in the Post:
"People ask, 'I got the tattoo, can you tell me what this means? And I'm like, 'Why didn't you do this before you got that tattoo?'"
Yes, you would think that would be the obvious thing to do – especially if you are getting something permanent like a kanji tattoo. So how can you make sure you don’t end up a national laughingstock?
First of all, make sure you know something about the Japanese language. Check out the copious information at sites like japanese.about.com and in five minutes you will know more about kanji, hiragana and katakana than most of the people already walking around with it tattooed into their skin.
Next, remember that there is often no such thing as an exact translation. Basic nouns are one thing – a table is a table is a table, after all. But abstract concepts, like Semper Fidelis (the motto of the US Marine Corps), can be notoriously difficult to translate well.
Once you have grasped this background material, you are ready to meet with the tattoo artist. That’s right – meet. Don’t get anything done yet. At first you just want to talk. Specifically, you want to find out how familiar he or she is with the issues mentioned above. If after an hour or so on the internet you know more about Japanese than your tattoo artist, then you need to be very careful about kanji she suggests.
So what can you do if your tattoo artist doesn’t know his kanji from his katakana? How do you go about getting the kanji yourself?
Well if you are confident in your new-found kanji knowledge, then there are a number of online dictionaries such as this one http://kanjidict.stc.cx/dict that can help.
Otherwise I would recommend getting a translation from a site like the one I run - http://www.japanese-name-translation.com/ . A good translator will be able to offer you a number of different options as well as explaining the exact meaning and pronunciation of the different kanji. They should also be able to offer you a number of different styles, from basic kanji calligraphy fonts to genuine Japanese shodo calligraphy.
At the end of the dayFree Articles, how you decide to go about getting your kanji tattoo is up to you. Just remember that preparation is the key to making sure your kanji tattoo doesn’t get “Lost in Translation”.

Are Fairy Tattoo Picture Designs Just For Women?
Tattoo design has regained its previous glory and has emerged as a popular practice. Though it has been in practice for thousands of years, it is regaining more popularity now than ever before.
Some of the most popular designs for tattoos – especially among girls and younger women – are any fairy tattoo picture designs. These mythical creatures can have a wide range of different looks depending on who’s doing the designing. Some people associate fairies with magical lands or kingdoms. Some others think of creatures from some movies that they’ve seen. Fairies have long been associated with the hidden realms that are all around us but hidden away from us.
Said to hide in the shadows of woodland dells and only come out to taunt unsuspecting travelers, these creatures have become synonymous with magical stories. Many stories talk of fairies befriending children who become lost in the woods and need to find their way out. These creatures are said to be part of nature and the woodland realm of sprites and pixies. Some tattoo shops may represent fairies as angels in hopes that some men may opt to have an ‘angel’ tattooed on them.
This is a popular design for tattoos for women who want a whimsical and feminine design. Many tattoo shops have several designs of fairies because of this popularity. Some images have fairies with hearts or other objects clutched in their arms, representing a loved one of the customer perhaps.
For many years getting a fairy tattoo has meant good luck for many people who believe in such things. This is because the creatures have always been associated with magic and luck. There are many tales that mention fairies prominently throughout, and this is another reason why so many people like the image of a fairy tattoo.
If you search through a lot of web pages and find a design for a fairy that you like, you can bring it to your local tattoo shop and have any of the artists draw out an original design based on the image you’ve supplied. In this way the design created will be one that you like but one that’s also still very unique to you.
The tattoo shop artist can then create a design in a temporary tattoo that can be applied to various places on your body to see where you might like to have the actual tattoo when it’s time to do the real inking. Once you’ve chosen the position where the real tattoo will goComputer Technology Articles, you can go ahead and let the tattoo shop artist begin to ink you up. Several colors may need to be applied before the fairy image begins to look like a fairy tattoo so don’t be in a rush to get it done

Beautiful Angel Tattoo Designs
Tattoo design has regained its previous glory and has emerged as a popular practice. Though it has been in practice for thousands of years, it is regaining more popularity now than ever before.
Some people may choose to have an angel tattoo design whether they’re particularly religious or not. Some people simply like having an angel near to them so that they feel it’s watching over them like a guardian angel. Some people may actually feel better when they have this sort of tattoo applied to their body. There are many different designs with this sort of image that can be created and turned into tattoo designs. Many tattoo shops have a lot of designs like this because of the popularity of the subject matter. Customers can come into the tattoo shop and choose from a wide selection of images with angels somewhere in them. Some may be simple and have a plain angel in a circle or more elaborate designs may have angels as part of a much wider design that can begin in one area of the customer’s body and wind its way along to another part of the body. These types of full-body tattoos are for the more serious tattoo favorers.
Many tattoo shops may have artists that specialize in this form of art and can create anything that the customer wants in the way of an angel tattoo design. Other artists may have some ability to create angels but maybe not with the same sort of detail or imagination. Because of their popularity in modern culture, angel designs are one of the most requested tattoo designs – especially among women who want a tattoo. Any tattoo shop that doesn’t have an artist who can create an angel tattoo design will find itself turning away a lot of customers, especially women and younger girls. Men tend not to have angels tattooed on them in the fear that other men will misinterpret the angel design as a fairy. For many people having a tattoo is a very personal thing and almost all of them have personal reasons for wanting this sort of design tattooed on their body. The tattoo design can be on the arm or leg or in any other part of the body that can be seen by others. Some people however may make the choice not to have the tattoo visible by anyone except those few people close to them. Again, this is a personal decision and one that many people put a lot of thought into. Perhaps the customer wants a tattoo that’s out of sight simply because of the line of work that they do.

Some people may choose to have an angel tattoo design whether they’re particularly religious or not. Some people simply like having an angel near to them so that they feel it’s watching over them like a guardian angel. Some people may actually feel better when they have this sort of tattoo applied to their body. There are many different designs with this sort of image that can be created and turned into tattoo designs. Many tattoo shops have a lot of designs like this because of the popularity of the subject matter. Customers can come into the tattoo shop and choose from a wide selection of images with angels somewhere in them. Some may be simple and have a plain angel in a circle or more elaborate designs may have angels as part of a much wider design that can begin in one area of the customer’s body and wind its way along to another part of the body. These types of full-body tattoos are for the more serious tattoo favorers.
Many tattoo shops may have artists that specialize in this form of art and can create anything that the customer wants in the way of an angel tattoo design. Other artists may have some ability to create angels but maybe not with the same sort of detail or imagination. Because of their popularity in modern culture, angel designs are one of the most requested tattoo designs – especially among women who want a tattoo. Any tattoo shop that doesn’t have an artist who can create an angel tattoo design will find itself turning away a lot of customers, especially women and younger girls. Men tend not to have angels tattooed on them in the fear that other men will misinterpret the angel design as a fairy. For many people having a tattoo is a very personal thing and almost all of them have personal reasons for wanting this sort of design tattooed on their body. The tattoo design can be on the arm or leg or in any other part of the body that can be seen by others. Some people however may make the choice not to have the tattoo visible by anyone except those few people close to them. Again, this is a personal decision and one that many people put a lot of thought into. Perhaps the customer wants a tattoo that’s out of sight simply because of the line of work that they do. Having a visible tattoo may hinder or harm some business relationsPsychology Articles, especially if the customer works with international clients who may not share the same cultural acceptances of tattoos as North Americans do.
