Tribal Tattoo Stencils

The first tribal tattoo designs were unplanned and happened due to particular circumstances. It is known that the first tribal tattoo had occurred because of a fall into the fire where a charred stick penetrated the skin and left a mark forever. Tribal tattoo designs were also used by people to ‘mark’ themselves so that they could belong to a particular tribe. This was also used to express certain religious and magical beliefs. The origins of the tribal art tattoos were rooted in the cave paintings. The oldest tattooed body is of a Bronze Age man who died over 5000 years ago. This body was found frozen, intact in an Italian glazier. Most tribal art tattoos resemble works of art and are used to express personal beliefs and convey traditions. The ancient way of tattooing the body involved using a needle that was attached to a stick. This was repeatedly tapped into the skin. Skin ornamentation was therefore an ancient art, practiced years ago. It is also known that these tribal tattoo designs were used as means of camouflaging the body with the environment. Every tribe or culture used various tribal tattoo designs that have different meanings and beliefs as per the pattern drawn.

Tattoo Letters

For many people, the art of tattooing is not always synonymous with images. Print tattoos are gaining popularity as they allow people to reflect their thoughts, attitude towards life, or something that is important to them. This makes the tattoo as unique as that person. After deciding what you want your tattoo to say, the most important decision to make is perhaps the tattoo lettering style. There are infinite tattoo lettering styles and designs available. The right tattoo lettering font depends on your taste and the length of the word. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes one word is all that is needed to say everything. For example, in case of memorial tattoos, the best option is a name or a date. No image can be as specific or more meaningful than the name of the person. Or if your tattoo is a dedication to someone important, like your mom, child, or that someone special, a print tattoo is the perfect choice. Even slogans that represent your attitude in life can be imprinted as tattoos. It is crucial to remember that a tattoo is a permanent mark and even if you have the best tattoo design or wording, not choosing the right tattoo lettering style can ruin the whole effect. You have to make sure the tattoo lettering font is clear. You don't want people to have to ask you what your tattoo says when it's all over your arm! Tattoo lettering styles and designs are characterized by bold black lines, sharp points, different patterns, and dense curves. There is a wide variety of tattoo styles of writing to choose from like Celtic, Japanese, Old English, Tribal, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi etc. But the most popular choices are the Old English or black letter and Chinese writing tattoo styles. Celebrities like Megan Fox and Eminem also have old English lettering style tattoos. This style has letters that are boxy and is always in black ink which gives it a Gothic effect. The inspiration behind this style is the old practice of copying important texts by hand, in calligraphy. If you want something different from black ink tattoos then you can try white ink tattoos. Many people get tattoos done in foreign languages, as it has a special meaning behind it. The Chinese tattoo lettering style is also very popular because of the beauty of its letters, which are also available in a variety of fonts and sizes, and the meaning behind the words. Another one of the tattoo lettering designs is the Japanese Kanji style. This graphic font has characters which are very intricate. This is a great way of inking a word with a special meaning in a unique way. These types of tattoos are a great way of giving the person a look of mystery.

Women Shoulder Japanese Geisha Tattoos Gallery

The majority of geisha tattoos, however, take on the look of a pin up model. This style tends to exaggerate the feminine curves, red lips and vibrant trappings; it also plays off of the subtle sensuality that geisha are known for. For instance, it is not uncommon to see the geisha standing with her back turned to the on-looker, with a heavily painted face peering over her shoulder, neck partially painted and a shoulder exposed. Although less frequently used, you may occasionally see wood block geisha tattoos. These usually show a more elongated version — both in body and face — and her clothing may appear long and flowing. The colors are normally more subdued, and show the geisha in a traditional setting; for example, she may be dancing, playing a shamisan, or simply fanning herself demurely. For something a bit different, you could create a fantasy piece in the wood block style; for instance, the geisha could rise from the ocean, her robes combining with the waves; or her pale, painted face and a white, or light blue kimono could meld with a snowy mountain, with only the shocks of dark black hair, sensual eyes and bright reds lips standing out.
