Devil Tattoos

Devil Tattoo

However the amount of pain involved in getting a tattoo is contingent upon a few factors. The pain tolerance of the subject is the biggest indicator. What may be excruciating to one may sting a little to another and yet may even tickle to another. The second factor that may determine amount of pain is the location. A tattoo on the earlobe, which has more fatty tissue, will not sting as much as a design placed on the ankle, where there isn't much except skin and bone.

Assuming a majority of the fill is red, as are most devil tattoos, the repeated strokes necessary to give your design the pigment can become a little daunting. Conversely some have reported that the slight vibration felt during the application is actually quite relaxing. The devil tattoo design can be very intimidating to some because of the amount of work that needs to go into it to make it look good.

The devil tattoo was used merely to illustrate an example of extensive fill. Nevertheless the evil red horned character is a popular choice for tattoos. In some religious circles the devil is used to portray evil. In Christianity the devil is also known as Satan, and sometimes referred to as Lucifer – the bad guy who is always trying to make humankind miserable.

So does that mean that all people who get a tattoo of a devil must be devil worshippers? No, that would be a ridiculous assumption. Many merely choose a devil because their personality is a bit mischievous. Some devil depictions have nothing to do with hell and condemnation, but rather are cute cartoons. The term "you little devil" is used loosely to describe someone who is sneaky or naughty.

Here are a few devil pictures for you to take a look at. There are many different types of devil tattoos as you will see. They range from animals such as birds and fairies to cartoon characters and famous cartoons like the Tasmanian devil.

The range of colors and designs are endless as with any other design. My favorite is the bird devil as I think its a very unique type of devil tattoo. How many people do you think will make an animal into a devil like that? It also stands out really well with its dark colors and bold outlining in dark ink. It was a great choice I believe and wins my vote for being a great tattoo.

Many devil tattoos are becoming more evil than what was created in the past. These tattoos are looked at as being 'bad' or 'wrong' to get by many. This may be the case depending on the reason why someone gets the tattoo. Someone may get this tattoo just to go against what most people believe is evil or wrong to get. If you are looking for an evil tattoo be sure to look through a directory of devil tattoos to get a great idea of what you are looking for before you get to your tattoo artist. The better idea you have of what you want the easier it will be and most likely you will like your tattoo the first time without getting any modifications.

EROTIC TATTOO: Manufacturing Desi

"First of all, you should define erotic," says the tattoo artist. "Some people might not know the difference between 'sexy' and 'erotic'."

Erotic: 'pertaining to sexual desire'.

The key word is 'desire', the 'sexy' part of the definition a mere qualifier. In any event, these are only words, and conventional wisdom tell us that it takes a thousand of them to do the job of a single tattooed image. A tiger, for instance, an entire penis tattooed as a tiger. Is that erotic? Since when is a tiger erotic? A vagina, then. The fashion photographer recounts the story of the guy with vaginas tattooed all over his body. Is that erotic? "Not to me," explains the photog. "Unfortunately, not to him anymore, either."

So, who's the tattoo for? Or breast implants for that matter? For whom does one go to the gym? The closer you look at this 'erotic' business -- exploring how and why erotic tattoos actually work -- the more complicated it gets. Let's step back and look at the big picture.

"There's something 'bad' about getting any kind of tattoo," says the well-tattooed professional woman. "It's flirting with danger."

Body art in general helps define us as individuals. The body as a work of art -- what better way to bring order to an existence that's increasingly chaotic and meaningless? Tattoos, just like strong opinions and expensive leather Italian shoes, provide certainty in an uncertain world. If we don't feel at home in our bodies, life proves pretty hopeless. Erotic tattoos, then, would seem to be the unique domain of those who feel especially comfortable in their own skin.

Never mind definitions, we know instinctively and immediately what's erotic. A recent trip to the local supermarket provides the perfect example. A young woman, a complete stranger, is squatting to price-compare porridge oats on the bottom shelf of aisle 9, exposing her lower back. At first glance she appears to be sporting the ubiquitous 'tramp stamp', the tattoo that lurks along the tropical latitudes of the female pantyline, except on closer look (okay, it's a blatant stare) they aren't panties at all, but a tattoo skillfully crafted to appear as such. Now, here's the point -- the observer (old enough to be the girl's grandfather) finds himself applying his imagination to her deeper 'no man's land'. He can't help himself, of course. She, on the other hand, has likely organized her attire for accidental viewings like this. Not that she wouldn't prefer someone younger, she would, but that hasn't stopped her tattoo from doing its erotic work.

"Anything under clothing is hidden and therefore 'erotic'," according to Justice Howard, a visual artist working in L.A. "It's very personal, like a child hoarding things in a little box. He empowers them by keeping them out of sight. 'I got it and you don't.' That kind of thing."

Most tattoos, like other forms of personal adornment, are objects of pride, and tend to be marched out at every opportunity as a sexual statement. But exhibitionism can dull the erotic edge. Someone who cuts a hole in their T-shirt to show off their tattoo -- forget erotic, is it even sexy? Yes, tattoos are increasingly coming out of hiding, but when it comes to erotic, something must be left to the imagination.

The intimate tattoo is hidden for a reason -- it's meant for special viewings only. Sure, accidental glimpses can happen in the supermarket (maybe not so accidental!) but otherwise the erotic tattoo requires an especially receptive audience.

"I was shooting portraits of a wrestler," says Justice Howard. "I asked him if I could shoot him nude. He whips off his clothes, revealing the most beautiful body with Hawaiian tribal tattoos. I love 'tribal' on a man, it's a turn-on, the way the lines graciously follow the curves of his musculature."

But for your average middle-class woman with an erotic tattoo, only her lovers will ever see it," according to tattoo historian Vince Hemingson. "It's her declaration that 'I am a sexual being!' I find that fascinating," says Hemingson, who speculates on how such a tattooed woman might think on a promising first date:

EROTIC TATTOO

Throughout history, love and sexuality have always played an important role in female tattoo, far more so than in its male equivalent. In tribal societies, tattoo was invariably used to mark and “communicate” the passage of the various phases in a woman’s sexual development: puberty, matrimony, maternity, widowhood... and as a consequence was also considered a fascinating and erotic decoration
Love and sex are also the origins of much of contemporary female tattoo. According to Cesare Lombroso (a criminologist living in Turin between 1835 and 1909) “it is in the female sex that the prejudices, rites and ornaments of ancient times, long since abandoned by men, find refuge... and it is above all among the women of primitive populations that traditional tattooing practices have survived. This is not because of any innate barbarism, insensitivity or criminal inclination, but rather for reasons to do with vanity, whim, seduction or simply religious or tribal tradition...” The origins of the ancient and widespread practice of female tattoo, as well as its survival, are confirmed by the many examples still to be found in all the countries where it is known, in the indigenous populations of Oceania, America, Asia and including those of Mediterranean and African religion. Archaeologists working in the Greek islands have uncovered terracotta statuettes dating back to the time of Homer. “Almost all of them portray female bodies tattooed with geometrical designs, mostly on the belly and thighs”. One of the most frequently recurring symbols is the triangle, like “the sexual triangle of Iberian and Cypriot idols”, or closer to our own times, among Berber women the “triangle that holds the sacred palm is a symbol of divine fertility “. The triangle is also common to many tribes in which tattoo has kept its magical function (like the tattoo in the form of two interlocking Vs (the seal of Solomon) and still has this same precise meaning: “The Chaouia think, for example, that any woman who hasn’t got a tattoo on her left heel won’t have children”; whilst for the Zaian, it wasn’t important where they had a tattoo, but the needle that did it had to have been used to stitch the sheets of a virgin and the woman doing the tattoo had to have had a lot of children.
Cosmetic tattoos that adorned or distinguished women (like the vertical and oblique lines on the chin of married women), were pretty much universal in primitive cultures. Lombroso noted how in New Zealand “the designs of the tattoos vary like fashion in our culture... and the proof that they are considered decorative lies in the fact that girls tattoo their lips to disguise their red colour, which is considered a defect in their culture “. Tahitian women, and not only they, tattooed special lines or cuts to show whether they were virgin or nubile. In the Marquesas islands tattoo is sacramental as well as a decorative; there are different tattoos for nubile girls, free servants, slaves, married women and widows. Their ornamental tattoos are drawn with fine lines and form bracelets, shoulder pieces and similar decorations. They begin at 15 years old with a tattoo at waist height and develop over time. The tattoos are done in a secret ceremony that only women can take part in. Pregnant women are never tattooed, and only tattooed women can prepare popoi (a fermented flour) and do hopakaa, which involves rubbing coconut oil onto the bodies of the dead to mummify them. According to Lombroso, tattoo was “a mark of women’s social inferiority”. In Tahiti, tattoo among women is particularly widespread and elaborate: girls between age 8 and 14 tattoo their entire bodies, except for the face, and when they reach puberty, are adorned with bow-shaped markings on their buttocks. Only noble women are allowed to tattoo their lips. In Tahiti, tattoo is a decoration displayed with great pride. In Nouka Hiva, noble women can tattoo themselves far more than the common folk, and in Samoa, widows tattoo their tongues. In New Zealand, women have whimsical black designs on their buttocks, which they make a great show of displaying. According to Kocher, Arabian women have themselves tattooed to please their husbands and lovers, and that’s why tattoo is more widespread among women than among men. All Arabian prostitutes are tattooed with crosses and flowers on their cheeks or arms, others have them on their breasts, labia or eyelids; but these are ornamental, and never obscene symbols. In many regions of Ethiopia, the women have buatri ornamental tattoos, that form necklaces or bracelets, or religious tattoos on their foreheads like the symbol of the Christian cross.
This tradition still survives today. Lacassagne (French anthropologist - criminologist, 1843-1924) wrote: “Far more than among young men, for young women tattoo is a bad sign and clearly constitutes a precursor to prostitution”. In “De la prostitution dans la ville de Paris”, 1836, by Parent-Duchatelet, we can read that “... girls who frequent soldiers and sailors have the habit of tattooing figures or inscriptions on the skin. The most typical example is the one reported among prostitutes in Copenhagen in 1891. Among the clients of prostitutes there are a certain number of men who go looking for tattooed women, regardless of the erotic nature of the tattoos themselves”.

Even though no one is really sure just how intelligent a dolphin is, in the ocean there are very few things that would be able to best the dolphin when it came to strength and cunning.

The colors that are used for dolphin tattoos are generally bright and vibrant, incorporating different shades of blues, grays, and greens to create the image of the dolphins. The size of the design does not generally matter, although some people choose to obtain larger designs so that the image can be detailed and noticeable.
