It does not matter what anybody else thinks, thinks or does - it is what you do that matters








What are the benefits of tattoos?


These days, body art is everywhere. Tattooing, piercing, and branding are increasingly common. And, in a culture that readily accepts many other body altering practices, such as collagen injections, breast, pectoral, or buttock implants, "face lifts," "nose jobs," liposuction, and the like, the concept of "body art" seems more and more mainstream. Women, who have been piercing their ears for decades, are now turning to tattoos as a means of beautification and self-expression, and men, traditionally more likely to have a tattoo, are now getting pierced in greater numbers.


Medical uses for tattoos include identification of lesion sites; simulation of natural skin pigmentation in reconstructive procedures; camouflage of vitiligo, hair loss, or scars; repair of flaws in artificial corneas; cadaver identification; and many others.
Individuals often cite self-expression as the primary motivation for a tattoo, which is seen as symbolic of their individuality, spirituality, or philosophy. Many women have stated their tattoo is a statement of freedom and has improved their self-esteem. Others cite a ritualistic, sometimes fraternal motivation. Many describe the pain induced by the tattoo needle as an "endorphin rush." A sense of control and triumph over pain is commonly verbalized as a positive result of the tattoo experience. "Pain is part of the process," contributing to the sense of ritual, tribal membership, and status described by tattoo customers.

Some cool designs!



People want to look better all the time... Why do people put tattoos? becoz we a re narcisstic....

A narcissist is someone better-looking than you are.

I really try to treat each tattoo as an individual act . I always try to incorporate something about each person’s personality into a tattoo.Doing tattoos you get to interact with people. You meet so many different people. It’s a rewarding art form, You get to have a piece that is going to be on somebody for the rest of their life so . . . it’s kind of an honorable thing.

SOME OF MY FAVOURITE DESIGNS






What are tatttoos?



Tattoo BasicsArtists create tattoos by injecting ink into a person's skin. To do this, they use an electrically powered tattoo machine that resembles (and sounds like) a dental drill. The machine moves a solid needle up and down to puncture the skin between 50 and 3,000 times per minute. The needle penetrates the skin by about a millimeter and deposits a drop of insoluble ink into the skin with each puncture.

The tattoo machine has remained relatively unchanged since its invention by Samuel O'Reilly in the late 1800s. O'Reilly based his design on the autographic printer, an engraving machine invented by Thomas Edison. Edison created the printer to engrave hard surfaces. O’Reilly modified Edison’s machine by changing the tube system and modifying its rotary-driven electromagnetic oscillating unit to enable the machine to drive the needle.
Modern tattoo machines have several basic components:
A sterilized needle
A tube system, which draws the ink through the machine
An electric motor
A foot pedal, like those used on sewing machines, which controls the vertical movement of the needle.
