Tattoo
Modern materials and techniques allow for a range of previously impossible designs and colors within tattoo art. A tattoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. Etymology[edit] A Māori Chief with tattoos (moko) seen by Cook and his crew The Oxford English Dictionary gives the etymology of tattoo as, "In 18th c. tattaow, tattow. The first written reference to the word, "tattoo" (or Samoan "Tatau") appears in the journal of Joseph Banks (24 February 1743 – 19 June 1820), the naturalist aboard Captain Cook's ship the HMS Endeavour: "I shall now mention the way they mark themselves indelibly, each of them is so marked by their humor or disposition". The word "tattoo" was brought to Europe by the explorer James Cook, when he returned in 1771 from his first voyage to Tahiti and New Zealand.

Tattoo ink poisoning Americans (NaturalNews) If you're reading this, there's a good chance that you have a tattoo. After all, nearly half of the population has decided at some point in their life that it was a good idea to permanently ink an image, or special symbol, onto their skin. Many hold no regrets when it comes to their tattoos; however, others embrace them less so with age. But now there's a new reason to rethink getting inked. Have you ever considered exactly what tattoo ink is made of? Body-art lovers have complained of scarring, allergic reactions, and phototoxic reactions (adverse reaction to light or sunlight), and depending on the type of pigment, other complications can occur. FDA has not approved any tattoo pigments for injection into the skin Tattoo parlors are regulated by the state and city, but the U.S. The lack of regulation is slightly unnerving considering that 36 percent of people ages 18-25 have tattoos, as do 40 percent of those 26-40 years old.

Vibrant Koi Fish On Shoulder While this tattoo is not quite finished, we can see the use of shading is really helping to make the orange with gold of the Koi really pop. While many Koi tattoos incorporate swirls of water with waves, this image is centered on the Koi and helps bring the fish itself to life. Rendered by Björn at the Loxodrom in Denmark, this tattoo does a great job of following the natural shape and muscle of the shoulder and arm. Also notice the detail of the eye as well as the scales. This attention to detail is what helps the image show personality.

Phoenix Back Tattoo A REALLY COOL Phoenix back tattoo! I love the charismatic detail put into the feathers of the bird, makes it real to the eye and more lifelike. I also admire the way the Phoenix is posed in a sort of pre-landing position. The Phoenix’s face is very serious as it gazes downward, with its talons sharp and clenched.
