Chinese Tattoos

The first thing to do here is to clarify what we mean by Chinese tattoos; we do not mean a tattoo of a map of china or pictures of Chinese people, what we are referring to is of course the tattoo writing of Chinese symbols and using this to express a sentiment or a motivational saying.

Many sports personalities have adopted the practice of having some motivational saying in Chinese tattooed to their body as their mantra and to help them focus in a very competitive environment.

Celebrities from the world of film and music have adopted Chinese tattoos for a very long time now and have done this as a motivational saying, or showing the place of their greatest triumph or declaring their love for another and even the names of their children.

It may come as a surprise to know that tattoos were not at all popular in China itself and in fact were seen as the mark of gangsters and criminals who used tattoos to show their loyalty to a particular criminal gang or to show their rank and perhaps specialty in the criminal underworld. Tattoos were therefore not worn by ordinary people or celebrities in Chinese culture.

Chinese TattoosChinese Tattoos

Why have sportsmen and celebrities adapted them here in western culture, this is very difficult to say for sure as no one can really speak to the motivation of another. However in western culture the key to being a successful sports person or celebrity is to be original and or trendy. Only the very top tier of celebrities can be original if they do something it is sure to be followed but minor celebrities could fall on their face and look silly if it the trend they tried to set was seen as silly and not trendy.

Most celebrities have now got tattoos and what was once seen as a military/sailor tradition is now widespread and seen as very trendy.

Who should get Chinese Tattoos well this is very easy to answer, anyone and everyone who wants one, we are living in the age of choice and it is up to us to make the decision. You do not need to be in the Chinese criminal underworld, nor be a sportsperson or celebrity and you certainly no longer need to join the military, all you need to do is select your tattoo and go ahead and get it.

Small word of caution, the Chinese symbols are complex and cannot be slightly altered or adapted to suit, this changes the meaning, so please make sure you get a proper translation of what it is you want to say and not end up having nonsense tattooed.

Olivia Curtis loves tattoos and has become a big fan of Writing Tattoos with a pet hate for those that get the writing wrong ending up with a nonsense statement instead of a dedication to loved ones or an inspirational quote.

Celtic Tattoo Designs

It probably won't come as any surprise to you that Celtic tattoo designs have been popular for thousands of years. In fact, it is no secret that when the Vikings invaded the British Isles, they were heavily adorned with body ink from this same genre. The art of tattooing has been popular in Scandinavia and Northern Europe throughout the centuries and even though other western countries are now starting to catch up with their love of the art, they have a long way to go to beat countries like Sweden, Denmark and even The UK.

These designs follow a pattern that is very intricate and often takes on the appearance of multiple knots. The best tattooed pieces would always require the skills of an adept artist and you should never get a new Celtic tattoo from an artist that cannot prove their previous experience to you.

For the most part, Celtic tattoos have quite a masculine appearance about them. This is probably because they rely on either black or grey shading. But having said that, Celtic tattoos can take on other shapes and forms: crosses and armbands are a very popular choice here and this can convert really well to become a more feminine piece for a lady wearer.


Celtic Tattoo DesignsCeltic Tattoo Designs

Celtic designs came back in absolute force back in the 1990's. At one point, this style of tattooing seemed to be the one that everyone was going for. Today, however, this style is nothing like as popular as it was then and this is down to the fact that tribal designs have undergone a huge tattoo revolution.

The versatility of this style would allow you to place a piece on any part of your body you choose. They do make for perfect armbands around the bicep and even around the wrist or ankle. They also look great as a chest plate; as larger piece on the bicep and running in a linear pattern along the bottom of the back area.

Floral Tattoo Designs

As the popularity of tattoos has spread to include the female members of society, you can bet your bottom dollar that floral designs have always been one of the most popular choices for them. The reasons for this are absolutely obvious: floral designs are pretty; they can rely on the use of plenty of colors and they can add a tasteful and elegant definition for any woman.

The most popular species of flowers that are used in tattoo designs include the rose, orchids, lilies and daisies. These will always be able to represent a piece that is dainty and feminine and this is what definitely seems to appeal to many women.

There are definite trends wherein women seem to favor having their pieces placed. These choices allow the wearer to expose the piece when she wants to, but be able to cover it at all other times. The shoulder and lower back area are probably the most popular locations nowadays; but the underside of the wrist, lower ankle and even the foot itself are also fashionable. A quick word of warning here though, if you are looking for a tattoo to be done on the foot itself - this can be a notoriously painful location as there are a lot of small bones in this region.

It is funny to see how fashions change and adapt as far as tattoos go, as around twenty or thirty years ago, floral tattoo designs were quite restricted for men. Of course, you had the ever popular and 'old school' choice of a rose with the name of a loved one associated with it, but today floral tattoos are becoming increasingly popular among the guys.

In fact, men think nothing of opting for quite feminine-looking designs and will even go as far as full sleeves worth of this body art. The youngest generation to come onto the tattoo scene are especially keen on this style.

Floral designs can come in any form you choose. In fact, they can even be a part of a very masculine piece if the surrounding artwork is able to tone the flower's beauty right down. A good example of what I mean here would be Japanese water flowers that are incorporated into awesome large pieces that scream masculinity, but include these flowers amazingly well.

Most Popular Flower Tattoo for Girls

Flower tattoos are available in different designs and are said to be one of the oldest tattoo design. They are preferred by most girls because floral designs symbolize subtlety, beauty and youth. Among flowers, the most commonly chosen flower tattoos are the rose tattoos which stand for love, romance and grace. Other flowers that one can opt for in flower tattoos include lotus, sunflower, hibiscus, lily, etc.

Best Unique Tattoo Pictures

The same principle is true when you are choosing a tattoo. If you want a high quality design, you have to make a good choice. Otherwise, you will end up getting a tattoo that you don't like that much. You will need to make a lot of research in order to do this. But you should avoid the free forums and websites since they can make designs look too generic. It will be very hard to find a design that is truly unique. For this reason, pictures of tattoos can be seen from several tattoo subscription websites. For more awesome and creative tattoo designs with a wide variety of unique tattoo pictures:
