Thought… meaning…mistakes?

I have adored tattoos for many years and am always looking and judging in my head if the tattoos I see are of a good quality. I have seen many tattoos all over people’s bodies whether it was at tattoos shops or the beach.  It’s important to find a good spot for a tattoo; one has to think if he wants it to be reveling or not, the size, color, artists, and cost. The most important aspect of getting tattoos is the meaning of the tattoo to the person. Without meaning and thought put into the tattoos it’s not truly worth having it on the body.

Lately, I have been talking to some of my friends and meeting new people and I have noticed many tattoos and I always ask the reasoning a meaning of the tattoo.  As a result I found out that a lot people just get it for no reason or it was because of bad judgment. Tattoos are so popular these days that a lot of people just get them and they have no personal value or feeling, which later in life those people will regret them and have to get it removed.  To a true tattoo lover like me tattoos are not just drawings that are made from ink and needle. They represent who I ‘am and what I believe in. Every time I look at my sleeve I remember the whole process of getting it and the meaning. So when I hear people randomly get tattoos that are just on their skin, I think it lowers the standers of tattoos and the connection the tattoos have with a person.

The qualities of the tattoos depend on the ink and the shading/filling process. Ink is very important if it is good quality, then the tattoo will not fade for a long time even if it is exposed to the sun a lot. The shading/filling stage is the next step and good artists will use this to their advantage by making precise details on the tattoos to which capture the look and feeling the person wants. The details are the emotion of the tattoo. I’m taking about the emotion that you want to feel when the tattoo is done or how you want people to feel when they see the tattoo.  So when people just get tattoos out of the blue they are missing a huge part of the tattoos process, which makes the tattoo that more satisfying.

This tattoos above is so detailed and beautiful, the colors complement each other very well. I’m sure there is a lot of meaning behind it since it is a Japanese body suit tattoo. You can clearly see the shading is done so well and the lines are very straight. What brings this piece together is the shading done to the background so the center piece pops out like it is a real image. Over all, it’s a clean looking tattoo.
