Celebrity Japanese Tattoos Designs

Some question the artistic factor of Japanese tattoo art, but it is because they are looking at simple pieces such as symbols. Japanese tattoo art consists of so much more. As a matter of fact, there are some amazing designs that celebrities and other high profile individuals have paid a lot of money for.

History Japanese tattoo art has been around for centuries. It is thought that facial tattoos graced the faces of early Japanese settlers. Throughout the years, the art evolved and it was a custom to be tattooed with very detailed images. For instance, in 1827 Kuniyoshi Utagawa created 6 very intricate designs that were part of the 108 Heroes of the Suikoden. These heroes were like a bunch of Robin Hoods. Each tattoo told a piece of the story.

There is Japanese art that depicts their warriors as heavily tattooed. In today's Japan, it is not common to find someone who is heavily tattooed. As it stands, the Japanese people consider people who are tattooed to be a part of an underworld of gangsters. They believe it to be a habit of the low class. Young tattooed people in Japan have them placed where people cannot see. That way they do not have to encounter judgment by their peers or older individuals in Japan.

But the Japanese tattoo designs are quite amazing when you look at them. They depict parts of Japanese history, contain many fine lines that make the design, and the colors are so vivid and unique. Some people may even have their entire back tattooed because some tattoos are only good when they are large and a message is to be relayed.

Types Flowers and dragons tend to be the most common, aside from Japanese symbols with significant meaning to the tattooed individual. Extensive Japanese tattoo art can take a while to finish. Because of the amount of detail put into some designs, it can take several sittings to finish. Having one done in one sitting could be quite daunting to the tattoo artist and to the recipient. It is also necessary to allow some healing to take place before continuing some parts of the journey.

It is also common to see Japanese tattoo art of Japanese warriors with weapons and of serpents. The best way to know what your options are is to explore online or consult with your Japanese tattoo artist on what it is that can be done for you.

When it comes to getting a tattoo we all know that it can be pretty pricey. With the economy getting worse everyday people have simply started to think twice about spending that money on something like a tattoo. Well it seems that a few tattoo studios came up with what they thought was a clever idea. These tattoo studios offered to give $30 Halloween tattoos all through the month of October. While this might be somewhat of a good idea, it can also be a bad idea.

For instance, picking out a tattoo design is very important and it's not a decision you should take lightly. However, if you are like me and love Halloween, than getting some sort of Halloween tattoo may not be such a bad idea. But if this would be your first tattoo I recommend holding out. Chances are if you got a pumpkin, black cat, skeleton, witch or some other Halloween character tattooed on your body as your first tattoo you will more than likely be regretting it before it even heals. But on the other hand if you are covered in tattoos and have a lot of them and you are trying to feed your addiction of getting tattoos than by all means go for it.

The moral of this story is...if it sounds too good to be true than chances are it is. However, if these tattoo studios were to offer any old tattoo for $30 I would say what are you waiting for..head down there now. Just remember this tattoo will be with you forever so think long and hard before you decide to get inked.

Six Tips For Proper Care of a New Tattoo

 Mother Tattoo

Before getting into the tips for taking proper care of your new tattoo it is important that you follow your tattoo artist's directions that were provided to you. If by chance their directions are different than the ones provided in this article, always refer to their instructions. However if no instructions were provided to you then this is what you need to know.

Naturally now that you have went and have a new tattoo you will want to take extra good care of its healing! From the moment you leave the tattoo shop your tattoo artist is no longer accountable for the care of your tattoo and any infections you may have. So it remains very important for you to follow these steps. You would not want your beautiful new tattoo to turn into an infected sore if not taking the proper care.

1. Leave the Bandage Alone

The artist that you chose took great care in covering up your new tattoo for you for a good reason. That reason is to keep any air borne bacteria or pathogens from invading the sore. Even though it is a tattoo it is still a sore. As with any sore the open flesh is now a hotbed for infections and bacteria. You will need to leave the covering on for a minimum of two hours. I know you're excited about it and want to show it off to your friends and family the minute you see them but you need to be patient.

There is one rule we can make an exception on and that is if your artist covered your tattoo with any type plastic covering. This covering could be extremely injurious to your new tattoo. So if this is the case then you do need to remove the plastic wrap as soon as possible. You are better off not having any sort of covering than having it covered in a plastic wrap.

2. Treating and Washing

After the two hour minimum time period for leaving your covering on then it is time to remove it. After removing the covering you will want to treat and wash your new tattoo. For cleaning the sore you will need to wash it with tepid water and a mild antibacterial soap. Lightly wash away any salve left behind and blood or plasma to entirely clean the area. Avoid using anything that is scratchy! It is actually best to wash the tattoo with your hand. Of course wash your hands first in the same soap.

After washing you will need to pat dry (do not massage) the tattoo firmly with a clean towel to get thoroughly dry. Follow up with a light application of your choice of ointments.

3. Specialty Lotions and Products

There are specialty products that you can use, if you choose, such as Tattoo Goo and H2Ocean and ask your pharmacist about over the counter products that work. Use these products as directed for 3-5 days.

After the 3-5 days have passed you should continue to keep your tattoo soft and supple. This can be done with the use of lotions. Remember whatever lotion you choose it must be fragrance and dye free.

4. Showering, Bathing, Swimming and Hot Tubs

You should continue to shower with a new tattoo just as you normally do as it will not harm your tattoo in anyway. Water will not cause any type of damage or infection of a tattoo as long as your tattoo is not soaking in the water. Soaking your tattoo in bath water or any water will cause severe damage and will want to be avoided for a bare minimum of 2-3 weeks. As said showering is fine to do as long as you do not stand and let the water continuously be on the tattoo. If you happen to get shampoo or soap on the tattoo then simply rinse it off quickly. Swimming, whether it is in a pool or ocean salt water should also be avoided for at least 2 weeks.

5. Scabbing and Flaking

It is quite possible after a few days if you notice some flaking and little scabbing. Extreme scabbing could be an indicator of a poorly done tattoo but if it's only a small amount then this is perfectly normal. There is absolutely no need to panic. If it does happen to scab then apply tepid moist (not soaked) compresses to the scabbed area for about 5 minutes 2-4 times a daily. This will help to alleviate the scab helping it to eventually come off on its own. Never apply ointment or lotions to a softened scab-simply wait for it to dry on its own. You could also start to itch, much like sunburn when it is beginning to heal. My advice for this is to ignore it. DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH AT A SCAB. If it is flaking then simply put lotion on it and if it's scabbing then leave it alone. This means your tattoo is almost healed and now is not the time for you to mess it up.

6. Safeguarding from the Sun

After your new tattoo has healed you will want to safeguard it from the sun's harmful rays as they could fade or damage your new tattoo. So before going out in the sunshine for any excessive period of time you will want to place a sun block with at least an SPF of 30 or higher on your tattoo. This will keep your new tattoo brilliant and colorful for many years to come.
