Tattooed Bodies: Theorizing Body Inscription Across Disciplines and Cultures (Palgrave Studies in Fashion and the Body)

Product Information

A quote tattoo is an excellent design choice for your next piece. Quotes can motivate and encourage. They can make you laugh and bring a smile to your face, and you can draw inspiration from anywhere. It could be from your favorite book, a childhood film you love, or something someone has told you. You can get a quote tattooed to honor your special bond with a loved one, including a parent or best friend. Or celebrate the love of your life. The placement for your inking is just as important, and popular locations include the spine, chest, and thigh. Chest tattoos are fantastic for pieces that mean a lot to you because they can cover your heart. You do not get anything inked on the chest because it is one of the most painful tattoo locations. The area often has thin skin and less muscle and fat. Plus, proximity to bone, means ink here will hurt. This can be part of the appeal; it shows that you are not afraid of the pain. Another pro of tattoos in this area is that they can be covered up easily but are also an opportunity to draw attention to one of the most sensual parts of a woman’s body. Birds make fantastic choices for body art because there are so many to choose from, but, by far, one of the most beautiful and symbolic is the eagle. This mighty bird of prey is associated with wisdom, power, courage, and spirituality. It can also represent freedom, as it can fly away, and many watch them with awe as they soar across the sky. They also have particular importance in Native American culture, and their feathers are prized and used in rituals and ceremonies. If you are from the United States, an eagle tattoo may be connected to patriotism, as the bald eagle is the country’s national animal. Capricorn is a zodiac sign for people born between Dec. 22 and Jan. 19. If you love astrology and feel connected to your sign, this is an excellent choice for your next inking. Different images are used to depict each sign, and the goat is used for Capricorn.

A tiger tattoo is a wonderful choice for someone who wants to make a statement with their body art. The big cat represents strength and power and has great importance in several cultures. It is a powerful predator at the top of the food chain and is respected and feared. They are often featured in Chinese and Japanese folklore and look great when inked in these tattoo styles. Or you could opt for a realistic approach, opting for a highly detailed image. In addition, you could ink a tiger cub, which represents innocence and is a wonderful way to celebrate your children, or could be a nod to the simpler times of your childhood. Star tattoos are some of the most popular pieces to get inked. The shape is so simple that it can be tattooed anywhere and in various sizes, from small to large and more detailed. Stars are rich in meaning and are often symbolic of honor, destiny, guidance, hope, and direction. When you look into the night sky, they can bring you comfort or let your mind wander to the beauty of the world. They can also represent light during a time of darkness. The fantastic thing about getting a star tattoo is that there are many variations, each with slightly different symbolism. This allows you to tailor your inking to your preference. For example, a star and moon design or a shooting star. This kind of pain is most commonly felt when a tattoo artist is using fewer needles, or just one needle, to add very fine detail or make the outline of your tattoo. Body parts with thinner or tighter skin are more likely to feel sharp or stinging pain, like the wrists and biceps. Currently there are no national standards to reduce health risks and so there is a need to promote safety and consistency across the range of tattooing and body piercing practices, as health risks can arise from improper practice.
