Peacock Tattoo Designs For Girls

Peacocks are a beautiful and captivating bird. Their feathers have long been cherished and admired for the beautiful and striking colors. When peacocks shed their feathers they grow back even brighter and more beautiful, thus sustaining the power of the peacock image. This is part of the reason people are drawn to a peacock tattoo.

People want a peacock tattoo because they look good. The flurry of bright and brilliant color is attention getting. Peacocks have come to hold meaning as a symbol of accepting one’s own beauty. They are also a sign of authority and a regal manner. People who get a peacock tattoo are likely self-assured and proud. The peacock also holds religious meaning. It is an early Christian symbol for the resurrection of Christ.

There are variations of a peacock tattoo. There can be many different colors used and the tattoo can be of a whole peacock or just a peacock feather. Sometimes people use peacock feathers to adorn other tattoos, as well. The male peacock is the image used since females do not have the showy, bright colored feathers. Peacock tattoos can be put just about anywhere on the body, too. They are a great versatile image that lends itself to be able to be adjusted to fit the desires of the person.

Peacock tattoos are a common request. The proud and beautiful peacock is something to be admired, to be cherished. People who want a tattoo that expresses their love of life and show the world that they are proud and happy to be themselves may choose to get a peacock tattoo.

Zodiac Symbol Tattoo Designs

Have you ever given any thought to zodiac symbols when you've been browsing through catalogues of tattoos?

There are 12 signs of the zodiac and you will definitely be one of them.
Just select your birth date to see which sign you come under.

Aries = begins 21st March- ends 20th April
Taurus = begins 21st April - ends 21st May
Gemini= begins 22nd May - ends 21st June
Cancer = begins 22nd June- ends 22nd July
Leo = begins 23rd July- ends 23rd August
Virgo = begins 24th August- ends 22nd September
Libra = begins 23rd September -ends 23rd October
Scorpio = begins 24th October- ends 22nd November
Sagittarius = begins 23rd November- ends 21st December
Capricorn = begins 22nd December- ends 20th January
Aquarius = begins 21st January ends- 18th February
Pisces = begins 19th February ends- 20th March.

If you are on the cusp of any sign, as an astrologer would say (meaning for example that your birthday is 2oth April...are you then an Arian or a Taurean?) you may need to actively seek out an astrologer to find out exactly which sign you come under.

They'll definitely be able to tell you as they have charts going back years and years as to the exact dates of the change over of the signs.

Each sign of the zodiac carries with it specific traits etc and although horoscopes and astrology phone lines are popular entertainment; the science of astrology is quite complex and revered by many prominent people.

Certainly if you believe in things like' every thing happens for reason' then you'll also believe that we were born at a certain time for a reason and therefore under a specific star sign.

Tattoo fads and fashions come and go, so I always think it's best to have a tattoo that can't ever cease to be relevant and yet will always say something about you.

A lover's name or the date of a marriage may change or be regretted, but your birth date and hence your star sign will never change.

Look up the symbol for your sign; they are quite unique and individualistic as a choice for a tattoo.

Dog Tattoos

One may get a tattoo of a dog for various reasons. But, most of the time dog tattoos are a memorial for a beloved pet who has passed on.

dog tattoos Some breeds represent different characteristics that the person may want to have. Some breeds may represent a reputation that one would like. For example, an APBT advocate may get a tattoo of the breed as a sign of loyalty, strength, and courage, but one who prefers their reputation, may get a tattoo of the same breed with a more viscious demeanor in order to represent power and the fear that is evoked from the breed.

Tattoo Removal Methods

What if you have a tattoo that you really don’t want to live with? Tattoos can be removed, but the procedures are expensive and don’t always produce very good results. There are several different procedures to choose from. Each procedure works best in particular circumstances (depending on the size and location of the tattoo, for instance). If you are considering tattoo removal, do some research. A plastic surgeon or a dermatologist (skin doctor) should be able to help you.

Methods of tattoo removal include:
• Surgical Removal - where doctors insert a balloon under your skin and cut away the tattoo.
• Dermabrasion - where the doctors sand away your tattoo.
• Salabrasion - where they soak your tattoo in a salt solution to suck out the ink. This may leave some discoloration.
• Scarification - in which they use an acid that removes the tattoo but leaves a scar.
• Laser Surgery where a laser is used to burn away the ink. This is probably the most effective method, but even this method can leave some scarring or discoloration.

All of these methods can be as painful and disfiguring as they sound. If you have a tattoo that you want to hide or remove, covering up with make-up is always an option. There are some heavy, thick products designed for this kind of camouflage.

Modernised Tradition of Tattoo

Modern Reawakening of the tradition of Tattoo

Tattoos have experienced resurgence in popularity in many parts of the world, particularly in North America, Japan, and Europe. The growth in tattoo culture has seen an influx of new artists into the industry, many of whom have technical and fine arts training. Coupled with dvancements in tattoo pigments and the ongoing refinement of the equipment used for tattooing, this has led to an improvement in the quality of tattoos being produced.

During the 2000s, the presence of tattoos became evident within pop culture, inspiring television shows such as A&E's Inked and TLC's Miami Ink and LA Ink. The decoration of blues singer Janis Joplin with a wristlet and a small heart on her left breast, by the San Francisco tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle, is taken as a seminal moment in the popular acceptance of tattoos as art. As seen in the 2007 movie Eastern Promises, body art again features heavily, showcasing the ink-embroidered torso of a Russian mobster. Tattoos are generally considered an important part of the culture of the Russian mafia.

In many traditional cultures tattooing has also enjoyed resurgence, partially in deference to cultural heritage. Historically, a decline in traditional tribal tattooing in Europe occurred with the spread of Christianity. However, some Christian groups, such as the Knights of St. John of Malta, sported tattoos to show their allegiance. A decline often occurred in other cultures following European efforts to convert aboriginal and indigenous people to Western religious and cultural practices that held tattooing to be a "pagan" or "heathen" activity. Within some traditional indigenous cultures, tattooing takes place within the context of a rite of passage between adolescence and adulthood.

This arm tattoo is one of the more interesting and unique designs I've come accross. It's like a cartoon zombie coming out of flames with a piston and wrench below. Makes me think of some of the artwork you see on monster trucks like Grave Digger

The meaning of henna tattoos


I receive alot of inquiries as to the meaning of henna tattoos. While different cultures, and different tribes within a culture have symbols and patterns that carry a meaning for that community, it is my experience that most clients here in Florida choose symbols that have a meaning particular to them.

This photo is a perfect example! A couple, who were soon to be married, choose to have the kanji for eternity done on their ring fingers as a symbol of their commitement to each other. While the kanji has its own meaning, the choice of this design, and the location was especially important to the couple.

Henna Tattoo for the Back


For this tattoo, the client chose an Arabic style design.
She wanted the tattoo on her back, and while a small shoulder piece would have been a good choice.. I think the larger design is far more striking.

The henna tattoo appears black because this is a photo of the design with the paste still on the skin. I hope to see this client again to get a photo of the finished color. (Photos of the finished color are much harder to come by!)

Fairy Tattoo

Fairy Tattoo Design On Woman’s BackFairy Tattoo Design On Woman’s Back
Fairy tattoo designs are pretty popular for females looking for a feminine tattoo idea. Here is a great design on the middle of this woman’s back. A tattoo like this one can’t be too small or else you’ll lose the detail that makes the fairy come to life. So, make sure you’re committed to a fairy tattoo design if you get one!

Great History Of Body Art Tattoos

The history of body art started with prehistoric humans. In the prehistoric era, belief in a soul, guarded by the spirit of another creature, inspired pictures of that creature on the body. The spirit of that creature guarded, gave safety, and led the soul down the path of life. Body art was a way to keep the spirit close, always.


The History of Body Art Tattoos

Throughout time, body art kept its position as a spiritual expression, and it also became an expression of social importance. Native American and African tribes used tattoos and body piercing to express beliefs and stature in society. Chiefs, for instance, had different body markings than an ordinary hunter or any other tribe member. Where a chief may have had a tattoo that symbolized power or resembled a god, a hunter might have had a tattoo that resembled a buffalo or some game he hunted. Piercings and tattoos were signs of accomplishment and membership.


The History of Body Art Tattoos

Certain tattoos stood for positions in the community, and in some cases, every member had some type of body marking that indicated their status. For ceremonies, the elite class donned the trappings of their rank and power. Women in the tribes received a special marking for marriage, to signify they were a spouse. The chief had more tattoos and more piercings because of his stature in the tribe, and the older members of the tribe had more because of age. In many cases, the markings had high, religious significance.


The History of Body Art Tattoos

As time progressed further, body art stayed as an expression of beliefs, but the beliefs and reasons for body art strayed from religion and community stature. Some Americans believe that
body art grew in popularity in the 1960s as a revolt against the formalism of society. Along with that theory, some “flower children” used bodyart to demonstrate the incompleteness of all art. Some got tattoos to express love for another person, orto state a belief about an issue facing society. A quote in an article by Deborah Irmas states that “Tattooing has become an expression of art, a far cry from the times when it was viewed as a ritual of passage in ancient cultures”. Some men, however, got tattoos to demonstrate membership in a gang or group, much like the Native American and African tribes.


The History of Body Art Tattoos

Body art is still used in ancient practices and to show status rankings in tribes like the Surma of Ethiopia. For example, in the Surma tribe, young boys still use lip plates. Lip plates are used to stretch the lips and indicate how many cattle a man’s family will receive from his bride’s family when they are married. The tattoos that women receive when they are married include symbols of prosperity and well-being.

Body art has lasted throughout history and is still important in society. The tribes of Africa keep old traditions alive by continuing to use body art, and Americans use body art to identify themselves and as a form of individuality. In a sense, as society has grown and changed, so has body art.
