Tattoos

Tattoo As An Art Form

Tattoos as a decorative medium for the skin has become widely accepted. Needles are used to introduce ink into the skin layers that produces a permanent design. One has to bear in mind that results of tattoo designs can no longer be undone so that one has to be certain in choosing the designs that he or she will carry on their skin for the rest of their lives.

Both my sister and I are artists. She is forever full of bold and new ideas. We could be alike in many ways but at odds when it comes to the bold side of things. I am quite content with my low key earrings that only need teeny weenie holes in both ears, but tattoos for me, never.

For me, seeing the same design on your skin day in day out could be quite unsettling. I would want to be able to change my accessories, such as my earrings to go with my present disposition or the circumstances. Different things that could be expected everyday are what makes us excited and hopeful. If by some quirk of fate I decide to get a tattoo, I would still end up having the salon frequently update it or add something to the design to suit my highs and lows. No, I don’t think tattoos would be ideal for an individual such as me.

Conversely, my sister is so passionate about the skin markings she has on her right now. She drew her own tattoo design that is really quite impressive. I measured the entire length and width of her back and laid out her drawing on a large sheet of paper.

My sister’s tattoo design was of a graceful cat. The cat’s backside is out but the cat’s head is turned to make it appear that it is looking at the viewer. The cat’s spine traces my sister’s spine up to the lowest portion where the tail gracefully coils around the entire drawing. This awesome tattoo sketch would cover almost her whole backside. Regardless of its beauty and ingenuity, she feels that it might just be quite an expansive design for her tiny structure.

Before giving this art media a try, take into consideration how much part of your skin you are willing to cover with marks permanently. An amazing idea such as my sister’s cat could actually cost too much plus the fact that the tattoo will be permanently inked on your skin and having it taken out will cause money and some pain. Right now, my sister is holding on to her cat design and deliberating some more if she really wants to have that cat on her back.
