Animal & Flower Tattoo

Animal & Flower Upper Back Tattoo

Bird tattoo designs have always been extremely popular when compared to other designs, and this is basically because birds have always – in almost every culture – been considered as symbols of freedom and also of the spirit, soul and importantly of beauty. Their ability to soar high above the ground has earned them the reputation of being close to the gods. Certain religions even consider birds to be the creatures that pass on departed spirits to the afterlife.

Due to the religious and mystical connection they bear, bird tattoo designs have thus become extremely popular. References to birds have been found from all ages: from sticks figures in Egyptian tombs and pyramids to Christian depictions of angels and cherubs with wings. The costumes for the Ghost Dance of the Arapaho and even many traditional African weddings and other rituals have references to birds. The positive outlook to life that they symbolise has lead to people today being increasingly attracted to bird tattoo designs.

In popular myth, heroes would often be seen accompanied by their birds while pursuing mythical creatures of yore. It is often retold in myth that birds would be found to fly forward and return informing the hero of any looming obstacles. Perhaps this is the origin of the phrase that is so common: ‘a little bird told me’?

However keep in mind that in other countries birds – and hence bird tattoo designs – could mean entirely different things due to the different culture. For example in Chinese culture, the word for bird, niao, can also mean penis. Thus a sexual dimension is added to bird tattoo designs. Even in western culture, the reference to the penis as a cock dates as far back as Ancient Rome. In German, ‘having a bird’ is another way of calling a person insane. Obviously we would all know about ‘bird-brain’ being an insult! Though these references might not affect people with bird tattoo designs, it is important to remember them before deciding on a tattoo.

The most popular and somewhat cliché of bird tattoo designs usually depict two birds with opposite characteristics. Generally, one would be fair while the other dark, or white and black, or even big and small. Such binaries aim at showing the duality that is inherent in nature. The metaphor could also be extended to a reference to happiness within sadness or day after night. The most popular reference would naturally be of good as opposed to evil. In fact, certain bird tattoo designs also depict birds fighting serpents; a clear reference to the eternal battle of good against evil.

There is no dearth of bird tattoo designs available on the net, but not many of these designs can match up to the expectations of most people who want tattoos. While not all the tattoos found online look bad, even the ones that do look appealing were not designed by tattoo artists and thus were not meant to be converted into tattoos. Needless to say, however good the design looks, it will not be appealing as a tattoo unless it was meant to be tattoo art.

Thus, plenty of such bird tattoo designs can easily be obtained from the internet. However, there are a lot more animals to consider if a person wants an animal tattoo designs, and even such deigns are available on the internet, just as bird tattoo designs are.

Couple of Angel Fairy Tattoo

Couple of Angel Fairy Tattoo

Today, one of the most common body accessories that differentiate the "cool" woman from the plain Janes are the cute little tattoos that she proudly wears on her skin.

You can say anything you want but you can never take away the fact that the women who get themselves inked are mostly the outspoken ones, the opinionated, those who possess strong values and beliefs, and those who have more confidence in themselves.

When talking of tattoo ideas for women, we immediately think of floral tattoos, butterfly or dragonfly tattoos, and hearts. And they get kind of, well, boring. But here's one that is also very common, but despite its being popular with the girls, no two designs are quite alike, unlike cross tattoos and other symbols, --the fairy tattoos.

Fairy tattoos can take on different meanings. It could project an aura of innocence and a cheerful, lighthearted air. It could also stand for beauty with a playful flair. But did you know that fairies in Ireland, where the concept of fairies originated from, are considered evil beings?

Fairies are believed to be territorial beings of the underworld who would punish those who invade their "territory" and bring forth ill luck to individuals they dislike. And they do not look pleasing at all! But the fairies that Walt Disney conjured up for us are the charmingly impish creatures of perfection. And, apparently, that is what modern fairy tattoos are sticking up with.

Fairy tattoos, then, can be worn by people of various personalities: for the sweet and the young-at-heart; or for those who have a naughty, fun-loving personality, and anybody in between. The trick is in the design and the colors used and on how they are worn.

Fairy tattoos could be done in black and white for a more serious look, or in different colors for a playful, more feminine look. Also, the appearance of the fairy tattoo, its facial expression, its size, pose, clothing, and colors used can be customized according to the person's personalities. Now, tell me how you will find that boring?

They can be worn on the lower back, on one hip, on the lower belly, or below the collar bone. It looks more sensual when worn on these areas. But they also look quite perfect on the shoulder, the wrist, lower legs, or anywhere the wearer chose to wear them. One thing you should remember, though, these fairy tattoos are more interesting when they are located in places where they can easily be seen.

Nowadays, anyone can get a good tattoo. All you need to have is the right attitude, the conviction to do so, and the money to pay for a good tattoo artist. They can be a bit costly, you know. And if you want to get your money's worth, be ready to pay for it.

Also, just like marriage, getting a tattoo is a lifelong decision. And you'll have to go through a long and painful process trying to part with it if you find later on that you don't really want it. Think it over. And when you're done, do it again, more carefully this time.
