Art of Body Tattoo - popular Tattoo of th world

A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.

Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa) and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.







Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice at least since Neolithic times. Ötzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BCE, was found in the Ötz valley in the Alps and had approximately 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. Other mummies bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BC have been discovered, such as the Mummy of Amunet from Ancient Egypt and the mummies at Pazyryk on the Ukok Plateau.

Pre-Christian Germanic, Celtic and other central and northern European tribes were often heavily tattooed, according to surviving accounts. The Picts were famously tattooed (or scarified) with elaborate dark blue woad (or possibly copper for the blue tone) designs. Julius Caesar described these tattoos in Book V of his Gallic Wars (54 BCE).

Tattooing in Japan is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago.[citation needed] Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert dyes.[citation needed

Tattooing in the Western world today has its origins in Polynesia, and in the discovery of tatau by eighteenth century explorers. The Polynesian practice became popular among European sailors, before spreading to Western societies generally

Religious Tattoo Design

Locating Religion Artwork Online

Getting a religious tattoo design is a great choice, but locating the quality religion artwork online can be a pain, as you may have found out. You have probably scoured the web, trying to find the good designs, but have come up just about empty, if you were like me. Don't worry, though, because I will tell you what to watch out for when it comes to the generic art on the internet, as well as how to find the top notch stuff.

A religious tattoo design is not something that you should have to "settle" for. You should have to take any designs simply because that is all you could find. First of all, what that means is that you should not settle for a Google search. You also shouldn't rely on artwork from random, cookie-cutter websites that may have a lot of tattoos and designs. A lot of these places are filled with content that is over six or seven years old and plastered all over the internet already. Since that's the case, who knows how many people already have those designs inked on their skin? That's not the kind of religious tattoo design you want to settle for. You want your artwork to be original and you want it to be good quality, not some generic piece.

One more thing about those generic websites that may have a religious tattoo design you may see...

It has to do with the tons of artists that submit their artwork to these places. A lot of the artists do not have very much knowledge when it comes to tattoos. This means that they may be good at what they do, which is draw, but they don't know what it takes to draw something that will look just as good once inked on somebody's skin. Sure, they might be very good artists, but they don't know how to draw something that will look great once made into real-life tattoos. That's not the type of religious tattoo design you want to even think about getting.

The good news is that there are simple ways around the cookie-cutter designs out there, even for religious tattoo design artwork...

When starting your search for a religious tattoo design, you should begin with internet forums. I can't tell you how many different times I have gone straight to forums when I am searching for any particular tattoos and artwork. This is the best place to locate the websites that have quality designs that are made by artists that have in-depth knowledge when it comes to drawing something specifically made to be implemented as tattoos.

Remember, people love to brag when they find a hidden gem, such as a websites with top quality artwork, made especially for tattoos. This is how you can find that original religious tattoo design that is not plastered all over the internet. Good intentioned folks tell a select few about where they found the best art out there and you can reap the benefits.

Getting a quality religious tattoo design doesn't have to be hard anymore, so go ahead and get the original artwork and designs you have been looking for online.
