What’s the first thing that enters your mind every time you saw a tattoo? Maybe you can imagine another image in your mind. It doesn’t matter what’s your idea about it. Tattoos are most popular forms of body art. Since then, the art of tattooing has been practiced by several tribes in Japan. Up to no, tattoos still remained in the hearts of many. During early years, tattoos were only seen in men. But as you can observe, there are only a few tattooed women walking down the street or having some beers at the bar.
In the past, only a few women have decided to get to tattoos. But as years turned into decades, more and more women have recognized the real purposes of tattoos. As you watch TV or as you browse the net, you can’t pass up tattooed women, from celebrities, to models and down to teens. Yet, another thing that’s more enticing is the classy designs inked in different parts of their bodies.
When it comes to tattoos, women are more artistic in choosing designs compared to men. It’s true that most women can disregard the pain just to look sexy and attractive in the eyes of many. For them, “pain is equal beauty”. However, tattoos are not just meant to add appear to the body. Of course, there are individuals who have deeper reasons for getting a tattoo. In most cases, inspiration is
one of the reasons why some women want to get tattooed. In times of hardships, they just look on their tattoos and they will be alright.
What do people think of women with tattoos?
In contrast, there are also times wherein people are so judgmental. Even though, they have no proofs, they use you judge people through physical aspects. You can’t admit that you also do the same every time you saw tattooed women. Do you? Until now there are still people specifically men who can’t accept the fact that everything has changed in this world. Until now, they’re thinking that tattoos are “tram stamps”. However, it’s your decision whether you want to get inked or not.
Sending your message to the world through tattoos
Tattoos can be used as mediums of expressing your love to somebody, or maybe to send your message to the whole world. If you think you’re not that kind of woman they’re thinking then, there’s nothing wrong when getting tattoos. You are just expressing your personality and they have no care about you.
Although, it’s quite normal to see tattooed women you still have to choose the design suitable for your body. Remember, getting a tattoo is just a prisoner. Of course if you want to get out you have to suffer from all the sacrifices inside the jail. Tattoos are permanent makers. And once, a tattoo is inked on your skin, you have no chance to change it, unless you decide remove it. And of course you’re responsible for getting a tattoo because you are the one who decide.
You’ve decided on your perfect tattoo. You’re already to get it inked. You’ve picked out the perfect spot for, and have even decided where you’re getting it. You’re even at a point where you know the artist who will be doing the work, and have checked to make sure it is a licensed sterile parlor. So let’s get inked, right?
Wrong! That symbol or character you’ve decide is the perfect tattoo for you, may mean something completely different from what you think it does!
Did you know that the most common reason people get tattoos removed is because that beautiful empowering symbol that they got so perfectly inked on themselves is not what they expect. That’s right, the number one reason people get tattoos removed is a mistranslation. Instead of having that tattoo that says love, or power or honesty or any number of other great things, you’ve ended up with a tattoo that says chicken, or dog, or whatever else that you really didn’t want it to say.
How do you make sure your getting the right thing tattooed on your body? Don’t just take the tattoo artist’s word for it. For all you know they’ve been misinformed and you’ve got the worst tattoo in the world now permanently affixed to your body.
Find someone you know personally and TRUST that can tell you it’s correct. Don’t go just assuming that the person who’s telling you that tattoo means something is correct. You could also try going to a local library and seeing if they have dictionary for that language and find the symbol yourself.
Another common error is the artist misspelling it on your body. Ensure that the stencil is correct and is exactly what you want before you have a single dot of ink placed.
A tattoo is meant to be permanent. If you want yours forever, simply remember to do your due diligence before ever allowing ink to touch your skin. Don’t be one of hundreds if not thousands of people walking around being laughed at and ridiculed for having a tattoo that you thought meant something other then what it really did.
ensure before you ever allow anyone to tattoo anything on your body, that you know and you know for certain what it means. You don’t need to endure the pain of the tattooing, just to have to endure the pain of getting it removed a short while afterwards.
There are several thousand designs, how do I select the right design? This question comes to everyone’s mind, especially if you are getting your tattoo first time. But even if you are not a first timer it will still cross your mind
Before you pick the tattoo design ask yourself why you want to get tattoos. A tattoo reflects your personality and emotions too. You have a wide range of designs to select from. But every tattoo will generally be classified as one of these three types: A symbol like that of your zodiac sign, a cross sign and many others. Then there are picture tattoos like dragons, tigers, Scorpios, stars, angels etc. Then you have sayings, quotes and words in different languages. The most popular one is Japanese Kanji tattoo design. Also many people get initials or names of their loved ones.
If you are not a newbie and have love for tattoos you might want to customize your tattoo. Yes, you can even create your own tattoo design or get a customized one just for you! There are many online websites which offer you customized ideas by the world renowned artists for a small charge. You can then take that design to your tattoo shop and get it done.
If you are getting your tattoo for
the first time you might be scared of the pain involved. But don’t go for small tattoo designs just to avoid pain. Mostly people who get a tattoo once will get a second tattoo. So it’s better not to get a small one in place like arm or so where you might wish to have a larger tattoo later. These tattoos are permanent and you can’t remove them easily.
If you can’t decide what you want, you can get a henna tattoo. The henna design are the peculiar Middle East designs and have thousands of its kind.
Ultimately it’s your tattoo and you have to decide. So pick the tattoo design you like and you want. It will surely turn out to be a good one.

Kat Von D (March 8, 1982, and who has given her birth name as both Katherine Drachenberg on her official site and Katherine von Drachenberg in two German interviews) is an American tattoo artist and television personality. She is best known for her work as a tattoo artist on the TLC reality television show LA Ink, which premiered August 7, 2007 in the United States and November 11, 2007 in the UK.
You’ve seen the show, marveled at the artwork, and wondered, "How do they do that?" Scroll through this gallery for the step-by-step process on making a tattoo, demonstrated by L.A. Ink’s very own Kat Von D!
Other names : Katherine von Drachenberg
Early life
Kat Von D was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Her parents are from Argentina. Her father, René Drachenberg, is of German descent and her mother, Sylvia Galeano, is of Italian and Spanish descent. Von D has a sister named Karoline and a brother named Michael. She moved with her family to the Los Angeles area at age 4 and grew up in Colton, California. Von D was classically trained in piano beginning at age 6. She particularly appreciates Ludwig van Beethoven.
She credits the prominent Black culture of New York City as being a major influence drawing tattoos in her art and style. She began listening to the Ramones, the Misfits and other punk rock bands at the age of 12. She got her first tattoo at 14 and quit school at 16 to become a tattoo artist.
Kat's Biography- As told by one who knows her.
It's a funny thing about biography pages on websites... they never seem to achieve their goals. Ostensibly, the facts presented seem to attempt to give you some idea of the artist, where they are from, where they are going, what they believe to be valuable, etc... they are intended to let the visitor know better the person behind the work, but usually fall far short of communicating any real sense of their character. They read more like a bland political pamphlet than an insight into their personality, and in doing so, nothing more than a contrived sense of image is conveyed. It is with this in mind and in the spirit of trying to do better that, when asked, I gladly accepted the chance to write this little note and hopefully help those who are curious to know more about my friend Katherine.
I guess it makes sense to start with the basics. Born on March 8th, 1982, in the town of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, she moved to the States when she was four, settling in Colton, Ca. Her father René Drachenberg and her mother Sylvia Galeano were both born in Argentina, though René's family origins were German and Sylvia's Spanish-Italian. Kat's paternal grandmother played a significant role in shaping her artistic development, particularly in playing piano and exposing her to the great composers, which, as anyone who knows her can attest to, led to her love for the works of Beethoven . Kat maintains a strong relationship with her parents and her siblings, a brother Michael and a sister Karoline, and finding the time to spend with her family is a priority.. Growing up in the Inland Empire, a collision of influences led Kat into our world much earlier than most, her first tattoo came at age 14, an old english "J" on her ankle, a memento of a love gone-by. Shortly thereafter, realizing her natural art ability, in early 1996 her friends asked her to pick up the machine and get to work on them (her first effort was a Misfits skull with a homemade rig), the tattooing wasn't easy but she knew it felt right and she knew she wanted to pursue it. In 1998, she began working in her first professional shop, Sin City Tattoo, a local place in her neighborhood. A year and a half later, she moved on to Blue Bird Tattoo in Pasadena for a year then on to Red Hot Tattoo in Arcadia. A little under two years later she started working with the talented bunch at Inflictions, a shop out in Covina, Ca.. This was a great period of growth in her work and led to her eventually moving down to True Tattoo, a chance to work with Clay Decker and Chris Garver. Any tattooist worth their salt can see what an honor and an opportunity this was, and any one who had known Kat over the course of her career to that point knew that not only did she deserve the chance but was sincere and talented enough to add to the already high standards of that shop. In addition, it afforded her the opportunity to live and work in Hollywood, the heart of the city that she loves, Los Angeles. With this group together and the quality of the visiting artists and the additions to the line-up over the years, True Tattoo has become one of the shops that any real enthusiast (whether artist or client) must visit, a place where something great is always happening.
So much for the basics of her biography, let's move on to the what I think really matters, who I feel she is as a person and who she is as my friend. From the moment we met, I knew she was a bright, talented girl with a true affinity for tattooing and our six years of friendship have offered me a view of her life that not only confirmed my initial impressions but exceeded my expectations. As many of you who have tried to arrange an appointment with her know, she's booked completely with a long waiting list, but what most people aren't aware of is that long before she appeared on television, she was one of the busiest artist's in Los Angeles. Her work spoke for itself and each piece she finished brought in fresh interest, this in addition to her comfortable bedside manor had her working at a pace that few equaled. To this day, I'm regularly astonished at her work ethic and enthusiasm for every piece she does, and her endurance, I say with lack of any exaggeration, is extraordinary. She is generous to a fault, incredibly loyal to her family, friends, and those in our business who treat her fairly; and despite all the bullshit that is part and parcel of this industry and the demands she is under, she is generally in a good mood and always finds the time to be there for you if you need her. I am glad to know her and proud to call her my friend.
with all sincerity,
I am,

Tattoos have always been regarded by many people as a form of self-expression. They have been present in almost every tribal history review. It was how warriors of a tribe communicated with each other or with the warriors of other tribes. These tattoos told a story about their triumphs in battle, their failures and it even narrated the story of how their tribe came into being. Even without saying anything, these warriors said a lot. In the past, just by looking at the tattoos, tribes knew who to fear. The tattoo designs vary a lot, depending on where these tribes originated, where they have settled or which other tribes have influenced their way of life.
Nowadays, the function of tattoos hasn’t changed at all. People still use it as a way to express themselves. There are different tattoo designs. There are graphic tattoos like lines, curves, tribal, medieval, gothic, and there are the written tattoos. Because of the modern times’ influence in tattoo designs, the latter have been a popularly demanded choice for people. Written tattoos take the form of letters from foreign languages, graffiti-style tattoos and ambigrams. These tattoos are often words that represent a person’s characteristic or it’s a quote that a person lives by.
There are three types of letter word tattoos. These three types are foreign languages such as Arabic, Sanskrit, Latin and other languages; graffiti style tattoos and ambigrams. The first type of letter word tattoos is the foreign languages. This trend in written tattoos dates back to few decades, back when Japanese and Chinese characters were most popular. Some of these symbols only represented a certain virtue like patience, charity, etc, but of course, in Japanes or Chinese. Because of this newly discovered design, people then have started to request their tattoos to be in different foreign languages. Among the most popular are Arabic languages and the Sanksrit which has been popularized by the sexy vixen, Angelina Jolie. All the languages have been permanently tattooed to a person’s body somewhere. It is said that people like this type of design because it gives the sense of mystery and it lures people in. Since it is human nature to be curious, what better way than to attract a person’s attention to the tattoo by virtue of it being mysterious?
The second type is the graffiti style tattoo. This type is definitely what attracts most of the younger generations today. They associate the designs with hip hop lifestyle because graffiti and tattoos are both connected to being ‘street’. Graffiti designs have vibrant colors and extreme designs that they represent the hippest designs ever to hit the streets.
The last type is the ambigram tattoos. These are those mysterious and highly eye-catching tattoos. The trick there is that the word is made to appear like if you read it upside down or backwards, it will still look like the same word. For example, your name could be made into an ambigram that could be read upside down, and it would still read like your name. Pretty interesting, right?
If you want to get your body tattooed permanently with a Written Tattoos, then it would be helpful if you know more about the various designs that go with such image.
Rib cage tattoos can describe the fact that psychological factors play a huge role in pain perception and it does not matter whether you are a man or a woman. Going through a rib tattoo can bean excruciating experience, but perhaps for those who had it already, the mind must have gotten over the matter. With this area being a thin, flat and bony area (24 in all) and the needle puncturing the skin between 50 and 4,000 times per minute, how much pain is actually to be expected to create a rib cage tattoos piece? And the question is, are you ready to subject yourself to this kind of tattooing journey?
The satisfaction of owning that tattoo art on a unique and sexy part of the body is perhaps one of the motivations. With the area being huge and perfectly symmetrical to a lot of tat imagery, the possibilities for an amazing body art is endless; its all about the creativity of the design and the skill of the tattoo artist. With the great room for artistry and vast array of possibilities for an exquisite tat, rib cage tattoos have been very popular for both the male and female population.
Rib Tattoo for Guys The men go for rib tattooed because this type of theme can best define their physique and toughness. One has to have at least an acceptable body form in order to proudly flaunt it and one really needs to be tolerant and brave enough to go through the pain. When it comes to
choice of designs, koi fish is a favorite as well as dragon, tiger, panther and snake. Mythical creatures like fairies and angels are also preferred on the rib cage area as well as quotations and flowers.
