Articles By Vienna Geerlings

These are the different types of body art:

Jewelry is the most common type. This is a temporary type which almost everybody wears (sometimes) like a ring or necklace.

Tattoos are a type of body art which is permanent. Tattoos are created by colored materials inserted beneath the skins surface. The most common reasons to get tattooed are:

* Wanting to show your individuality and uniqueness
* Belonging to a group that has tattoos
* Pleasing your partner
* Identifying with a (known for tattoos) subculture

Piercings are a temporary type (which may leave a scar when removed). Body piercing is the creation of an opening in the human body in which jewelry can be worn and the word piercing refers to this opening. The most common piercing is an earring, but you can get a piercing in almost everybody part of your body.

Nail art is another temporary type which is applied on your nails. It is really nice and affordable. It exists of (colourful) decorations on your (natural or fake) nails. It can be anything from stones and sparkles to tiny feathers.

Body paint is also a temporary type. It is painted on to the skin, and only lasts for several hours.

Nowadays body painting is becoming very popular in the use of TV an film projects, advertising, media, sporting, modeling events, runway, and much more.

Airbrush is a temporary type as well. Ink is sprayed on to the skin by an artist (sometimes through a stencil). The resulting design usually mirrors the look of a real tattoo, without any pain. If you use the best inks, the tattoo can last up to at least two weeks.

Henna is another temporary type. Henna the paste of a flowering plant which is used for body (and fingernails) paint and hair dye, especially in various festivals and celebrations. The paste is left on the skin for a few hours to overnight and the stain lasts a few days to a month. How long it will last depends on how long it is allowed to stay on the skin, the quality and the individual skin type.

Tooth Art is also a type of body art. The are different types of tooth art, some are permanent, some are temporary:

* you can replace your tooth (or teeth) with (a) gold one(s)
* you can get a (removable) cap for one tooth
* you can get a (removable) grill for all of you (upper)teeth
* you can get a diamond into one tooth (or in more teeth)

Scalpelling is a type of body art, which procedure is similar to piercing and it is also for the creation of decorative perforations through the skin and other body tissue. It is most commonly used as a replacement for or enhancement of ear piercings.

Implants are a temporary type (which may leave a scar when removed). Implants are devices placed under the skin for decorative purposes. You can get them in different shapes through an incision.

Branding is a permanent type of body art in which a mark (usually a symbol or pattern), is burned into the skin,

with the intention of creating a scar. This is performed using a hot or very cold branding iron.

Another permanent type is Scarification. This involves etching, scratching, or some sort of superficial incision or cutting as a permanent body modification, etching pictures, words or designs into the skin. During this process, scars are formed by cutting the skin.

Your Tattoo Design - Body Art Tattoos

Finding the perfect design

You definitely don't want a cookie cutter design and it may be ideal that you not choose from the wall poster at the tattoo parlor because you may miss the opportunity to have a very unique design. You want a design that is going to stay with you forever and have personal significance. You don't have to live with a tattoo forever, but that is certainly your intention when you get it.

Here's what you can do when finding the perfect body art tattoos:

· Evaluate your personality. Are you someone who likes things to be elegant, funny, mysterious, or bold? You may fit in one or more of these categories, but knowing where you fit can help you to find the tattoo that will reflect your personality.

· Decide if you want your design to be a popular one or a unique one. Some people want something that others will immediately recognize as popular and others refrain from this. What is popular now may not necessarily be popular twenty years from now, so choosing what is trendy at the moment should be done with caution. Find a unique and personal design at your tattoo design today

· You can carefully examine the different designs the tattoo artist has previously completed or you can look to the Internet. There are many places for you to look for the right design.

· Go with what you feel when you want to have a specific meaning behind your body art tattoos. Don't be concerned with how others interpret your tattoo or what they think.

· Think about the colors you wish your tattoo to have. You can have virtually any color as a part of your tattoo, so don't be afraid to use some color. However, you do not want to overdo it because the tattoo may not look so nice in the future.

Body art tattoos can make your body a piece of art and help you to make a statement. There are some who turn to body art as a way to make themselves seen, heard, or to feel good about themselves. Others turn to body art for sentimental reasons. For those who have tattoos of sentimental value, they do not always show them off because they have them put on somewhere where people won't see. This may be your preference or you may decide to make your tattoo seen. Do what it is you want to do.

Body Art Tattoos

Articles By Brad Dooley

Body Art Tattoos are catching on like a new fad among younger people today. Celebrities, Rock Stars, and Sports heroes are sporting more visible Tattoos now than any other cultural icon save the Military. Changing your personal body image with Piercings and Tattoos has become so commonplace as to loose the social stigma that had once been placed upon such body art by society. No longer seen to be a negative image only found on sailors and natives of third world countries.

A quality Tattoo Finder can mean the difference between seeing boat loads of generic, cookie cutter designs and seeing fresh, high quality, unique Tattoo Designs. I have witnessed many people sift through cookie cutter designs so numerous as to be the only wallpaper in a studio. Poster displays hanging from every wall showing the same images found in every other studio with a few personal designs from the Tattooist mixed in to show variety. Changing your body image with a Body Art Tattoo should be a unique and personal experience to be thought out over the course of a few weeks to months. A Body Art Tattoo may well be with your body 5000 years from now and should reflect who you are and not just "I'll take that one".

Body Art Tattoos are much more than just a way to rebel against society, your family or whomever you you feel is oppressing you. Body Art Tattoos should be something that people meticulously plan for not simply rushed into.
