Black Thirst Get Colored Tattoos

I have been tattooing now for a number of years and have always been asked the same question over and over again, "Can black people get colored tattoos?". And I always respond with an emphatic "yes!". Anyone can get colored tattoos, but whether it will look bold and vibrant is entirely another issue.

There are always a few concerns when dealing with color tattoos on dark skin. But if you educate yourself and proceed with caution, you could end up with a very beautiful colored tattoo that will stand the test of time. Here I've outlined a few points to consider when deciding on color and design for your new tattoo.

Printable Tattoo Design

Thinking about getting a tattoo but afraid of how it may turn out? It would interest you to know that 1 out of 3 people with tattoos regret that they ever had one. This has mostly to do with the fact that they did not quite get the design they were aiming for, or the tattoo artist did a pretty shoddy job of it all. So what options do you have if you want to avoid these scenarios? You could try printable tattoo designs.

These are tattoo designs that are available all over the internet. The downside with this is that you are more than likely going to find images that are sub par. You could easily give up looking for that ultimate tattoo that everyone, including yourself, will approve of. Before you can choose a printable tattoo design, you will first need to determine what kind of design you are going for. Would you prefer dragons, angels, tribal or abstract tattoos? It is best if you have an idea of what you want before you step into a tattoo parlor. Additionally, once you’ve found the theme for your tattoo you can do online searches for printable versions of your design.

One advantage of printable tattoo designs is that you can easily print the design you want and show it to your friends and family to hear their opinion. Once you get their approval, you can visit the tattoo parlor of your choice, or one that has a good reputation and show them the design you want to have tattooed. If the tattoo artist agrees to do it make sure he knows exactly how you want it done. If you want the design to come out exactly as it is on the print then you should say as much. Speak out too, if you want some altercations made to the design for it to be more personal for you.

Are you good at designing things? Have you worked with websites before? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you may as well have fun designing your own printable tattoo designs. You could check out thousands of designs over the internet to get inspiration. You can then pick any of your choice and design it yourself. This allows your tattoo style to be more personal and more characteristic of you.

So you now have a new tattoo that was a printable version over the internet, how do you take care of it? Your first reaction may be to show it off to your friends and family and anyone else who would be interested. However, before you can do so it is best that you allow it to fully heal first. Your tattoo artist should have taken you through the basics of tattoo after care. One thing you should understand is that your tattoo is an open wound. You will need to treat it as one. Make sure you clean it on a daily basis with an antiseptic wash. Cover it up to keep dirt and dust from affecting it. As you wash it, do not rub it as it can become aggravated. Keep it clean and dry and within a few days you should be able to show off your new tattoo to your friends.

Turtle Buddha Tattoo Designs

Turtle tattoo designs are also seen in the Buddhist style of tattooing where it is thought that the turtle was a previous incarnation of the Buddha himself. Therefore the meanings bestowed upon the wearer of a tattoo are very much tied into the epitome of the Buddha namely compassion, wisdom and peace. In addition it is thought that the wearer will receive good luck and fortune.

The Most Popular Style of Turtle Tattoos Design

Surprisingly one of the most popular style of turtle tattoo designs is the Polynesian style or Hawaiian tattoo style. Obviously island nations such as the Polynesian or Hawaiian islands are surrounded by water and are therefore surrounded by turtles!! To the Polynesians, the turtle represents fertility and longevity, well turtles do live a long life, and this was recognised by the tribes of the Polynesian islands who revere the animal to this day. In the Hawaiian style of turtle the turtle or Honu is thought to represent a mother figure and the symbolism is again tied into fertility. Ancient turtle depictions show the Honu as a navigational aide, bold symbolism indeed for a sea fairing race.
