TATTOO - A TIME OLD TRIBAL ART

 


A tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting tattoo ink, dyes, and/or pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to form a design. 
A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on the skin with pigments inserted through pricks into the skin's top layer. Typically, the tattoo artist uses a hand-held machine that acts much like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin repeatedly.
Permanent skin tattoos have been practised in India for more than a century. The ancient maze-like designs discovered on rocks going back to 1000 B.C. were eventually adopted as permanent marks on the body parts of some tribal people in India.
Humans have marked their bodies with tattoos for thousands of years. These permanent designs—sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal—have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment.
With its traditional and potentially spiritual nature, tattooing easily qualifies as a folk art. However, given the skill and artistry of certain tattooists like Coco, tattooing also is among the fine arts.
Two of the most important components of tattoo design are size and placement. The customer can either choose a pre-determined size or alter it based on where it will go. Generally, larger tattoos are positioned on areas of the body like the back, between the shoulders, or upper thighs.
A good tattoo should have fully saturated black, color and shading. When it heals, there shouldn't be gaps or shapes in the tattoo that indicate it wasn't filled in properly. The lines of a tattoo should be crisp, straight and consistent throughout the tattoo.
People who feel good about themselves are more likely to want to express themselves through their appearance, and tattoos are a popular way to do that. For many people, getting a tattoo is a way to show the world that they are confident and proud of who they are.
People with tattoos  standout from the crowd. This theory suggests that people use tattoos to communicate their uniqueness and individuality. In other words, they use their body as a canvas to express their style. Word and phrase tattoos, which are sometimes called "script" when referring to cursive designs, are popular because there are no real rules or structure to them—other than that they have to contain letters. Tattooing is an art that walks around in the world with someone for as long as they live.
 We all know that Goa is a party place, but besides that, if you are keen on getting inked, Goa is the best place filled with tattoo parlours.
