Kaneohe Tattoo - Setting New Trends in Body Art

Situated on the edge of the main island of Oahu and skirting Kaneohe Bay is the small enclave of Kanehoe. Up until relatively recent times Kaneohe was mainly recognized as an agricultural area but now it is recognized around the globe as a mecca for body art, mainly tattooing.

Dated Back Thousands of Years

The tradition of tattoo in Hawaiian culture can be traced back several thousands of years. Back then tattoo was done for several reasons such as as to indicate a persons social standing in a tribal community or to mark the passing of a loved one or an important member of the tribe.

Internationally Recognized

Today though, people flock from all over the planet to get a Kanehoe tattoo for uncountable personal reasons. However; the one reason that they all have in common is that they all came to Kanehoe for the high level of artistry that the local tattoo scene is so well known for.

A Family Tradition

Tattooing in many traditional Hawaiian households is an art form that has been passed down from father to son for generations. It's not just the skills that get handed down but many of the traditional design work is passed on from father to son as well in Kanehohe tattoo families.

Hawaiian Tribal Tattooing

This is but just one of the many reasons why Kanehoe tattoo parlors are recognized as the premier sources of some of the finest authentic Hawaiian tribal body art on the globe. In fact, it is not at all uncommon to find patrons in Kanehoe tattoo shops who flew to the island from the mainland for the specific purpose of getting a Kanehoe tattoo.

How Not To Choose A Tattoo - Regretful Bad Tattoo Choices That You Do Not Want To Make

There are plenty of regretful ink choices out there. You look at some of these tattoos and wonder "what were they thinking". But then you may find yourself in a situation where you are about to make a horribly regrettable tattoo choice.

Here's how to avoid these bad decisions and how NOT to choose a tattoo:

1. DRUNK INK. Don't do it drunk. No matter what your friends try talking you into or how "cool" it may seem to get loaded and get some ink, the consequences will be horrendous. Even if you already have your tattoo choice picked out, if you go in there loaded your design may change in bad ways you didn't expect. The design could suddenly seem "too small" and you get talked into (or talk yourself into) going larger. Now you have a huge out of place tattoo on you. But most drunk ink results in stupid tattoo design choices. The number of guys and girls walking around with regretful cartoon characters splattered on their arms and legs are a prime example of how drunk ink doesn't pay off.

2. THE NECK AND ABOVE. Serious, and I mean serious consideration, should be made before getting a neck tattoo. These have huge regrets. I've noticed in some parts of the country neck ink at one point seemed to be the "popular tattoo spot" to get inked on. Everyone was getting neck tats because it was "in". I've gone back to these same places and now notice a bunch of people with band aids on their necks. Unbelievable. They are now covering up their neck ink because it's no longer "in fashion" or they now feel ashamed of it. And all I will say about face tattoos is that the suicide rate is much higher with those who choose to get inked on the face. Enough said.

3. TRENDY INK. We touched on this with the neck tat. But trendy ink also refers to the particular design that people regretfully get. Some guys and girls just get tattooed because it is a trendy thing to do and there is a trendy ink design going around that everyone else has so they end up getting it too. In the 90's it was the "chain link around the bicep" which every guy and their brother was getting. These same guys no longer wear the tank tops and cut off tee's to show off their one time dangerous looking "chain link around the bicep tat" because the trend is over and now it's more laughed at than anything (and even the guys themselves good heartedly joke that, yes, they jumped on the bandwagon and should have probably thought twice before going with the trend of the times!). So whichever tattoo is trendy at the moment, run in the complete opposite direction and search for something totally different!

Uncovering the Truly Great Traditional Tattoo Flash Art

I know that it can be a pain in the neck trying to find great traditional tattoo flash art on the web. If you haven't searched much for them yet, even better, because you really need to hear what I am about to say. It will save you a lot of time searching through the endless amount of generic, low end designs you ill run into, because I will tell you a great secret to locating tons of the superb artwork you are after.

I am going to jump to conclusions and guess that you are like 95% of the men and women out there and are using a search-engine to find traditional tattoo flash artwork. This is actually the #1 reason why most individuals keep bumping into the same kinds of galleries that are clogged with nothing but generic, cookie cutter images. It's also the number one reason why people end up getting tattoos that they end up not liking on their body. Some rush into their decision too fast and settle for some "less than" designs, while some had not clue that what got tattooed on their skin looked ways different compared to what the images looks like on the piece of paper they printed it on.

That's the problem with most of the galleries you find through a search-engine. Any of the traditional tattoo flash designs you find there were probably not meant to be used as real tattoos. Sure, some might be specifically drawn to be made into them, but a lot of them are not. What happens is that people go and get them inked and they end up looking nowhere near as good as it looked on paper. That's because traditional tattoo flash designs need to be specifically drawn by someone who knows how to make them for tattoos.

Ok, enough about that. Let me tell you how to find a lot of the hidden traditional tattoo flash artwork that you may have been missing out on. It's a simple way to find the perfect designs, as well as get informed on if they are truly "tattoo-worthy".

I am talking about internet forums. This is where you can find tons of links to the galleries that have the superb traditional tattoo flash artwork and it is also where you can get honest opinions about which places have the true designs for implementation as tattoos. I love forums because tattoos are a pretty big subject in a lot of them. Since this is the case, you better believe that the subject of traditional tattoo flash comes up quite a bit. This is exactly where you can find the links to the superb galleries you have been missing out on, because there are tons of people who have already found them for you.

No matter which traditional tattoo flash designs you might be considering, it is always helpful to find out if it was truly meant to be used as real tattoos. It's a simple step to take to ensure the design looks perfect once inked on your body.

The Danger of Tattoos

Tattoos are popular, colourful ways for us to express our creativity, our experiences and our personality. For many people tattoos carry symbolic meaning or have personal memories behind them. As more celebrities are seen with tattoos, either permanent or temporary henna, they are becoming an increasingly popular fashion accessory. However, on the spur of the moment many people forget that proper tattoos are permanent and they are actual extremely serious because they can cause life-threatening problems.

At the moment tattooing isn't properly licensed or regulated but artists must register with the Environmental Health Department. It is vital that you check with your local council beforehand whether your tattooist is registered, because the local authorities should have registration and inspection schemes in place. A health and safety certificate should be on display or with the operator so ask to see one before you have your tattoo done.

The health and safety standards say that:

* Sterile needles must be used for every customer
* Hands must be washed thoroughly before and after tattooing
* Disposable latex gloves must be worn and a new pair worn for each customer. (Some people can have allergic reactions to the latex gloves so you could take an antihistamine before you have it done, or if you are aware that you have this allergy you should inform the artist beforehand who should be able to use a different glove.)
* It is illegal to tattoo anybody under 18.

The artist should ask you a list of medical questions before doing the tattoo to check that you are alright to have one. For example people with haemophilia should not have tattoos as their blood doesn't clot properly and so they cannot stop any bleeding which may occur during a tattoo. Pregnant women are advised against tattoos, as are diabetics, people with heart conditions, people with conditions that weaken the immune system and also people on aspirin or aspirin-based medication as these thin the blood so you bleed more.

Firstly tattoos are wounds and therefore good hygiene is imperative. When you have a tattoo the ink is injected into the dermis or the lower layer of your skin which doesn't flake away making it permanent. The machine that is used can pierce the skin as many as 3000 times per minute making holes as deep as 1/16 of an inch or 1.5mm.

One of the biggest problems associated with tattoos is blood borne infections such as:
Hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis affects the liver causing inflammation. Hepatitis B is a DNA virus and it can be acute (self-limiting) or chronic (long standing). The symptoms of acute hepatitis B are:

* Loss of appetite
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Body aches
* Mild fever
* Dark urine
* Development of jaundice.


It generally lasts a few weeks and gradually improves in most cases. Chronic Hepatitis C is often asymptomatic and can lead to advanced scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) and liver cancer.
Hepatitis C is a blood borne infection which is often asymptomatic. It causes liver inflammation which can lead to scarring of the liver (fibrosis) or advanced scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) which in turn can lead to liver failure and cancer. It is spread by blood to blood contact and at the moment no vaccine is available. Early medical intervention is beneficial but many people only experience mild symptoms and so don't seek treatment until it has developed into more serious problems. Some symptoms can include:

* Decreased appetite
* Fatigue
* Abdominal pain
* Jaundice
* Itching
* Flu-like symptoms.


HIV. Human Immunodeficiency Virus can lead to AIDS; Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It is transmitted through bodily fluids and it infects white blood cells which are part of the body's immune system, weakening it so that you cannot fight off other opportunistic diseases, leading to AIDS.
Tetanus. This infection causes muscle stiffness and spasms, commonly starting with the jaw muscles making it difficult to swallow or open your mouth. Other common places for muscle spasms are the neck, the chest making it difficult to breathe, the stomach wall and the arms and legs. Other symptoms are:

* extreme sensitivity to touch,
* high fever,
* sore throat,
* rapid heartbeat,
* difficulty breathing,
* headache,
* bleeding into the bowels, and
* diarrhea.


Tetanus can lead to suffocation, blood poisoning, cardiac arrest, kidney failure and exhaustion, all of which can be fatal.
Septicemia. A bacterial infection commonly known as blood poisoning. Symptoms include:

* High fever
* Violent shivering
* Faintness
* Cold and pale hands and feet
* Rapid and shallow breathing
* Restlessness
* Delirium
* Shock
* Loss of consciousness


Other problems include:

* Chronic skin ailments
* Allergies
* Lichenoid, which are small bumps of reactive tissue, similar, but more accentuated to those seen in chronic eczema.
* Sarcoidal granulomas, which are ball-like collections of immune cells below the surface of the skin.
* Scaling
* Redness
* Itching
* Infections leading to discolouring of the tattoo
* Swelling (due to an allergic reaction)
* Ulceration, which is the formation of sores.
* Delayed hypersensitivity reaction. This occurs several years after the tattoo and causes sudden local itching, scaling, redness and swelling.
* Lymphocytoma, which is a mass of mature white blood cells which resemble a tumour; it is a skin reaction.
* Keloids are raised scars that are not easily removed.
* Photosensitivity occurs when the sun reacts with the dye causing an allergic reaction.
* Photo toxicity occurs when the sun reacts with the dye causing localised sun burn.

According to research carried out by Dr Bob Haley and Dr Paul Fischer from the University of Texas South western Medical School tattoos account for "more then twice as many hepatitis C infections as injection drug use" and people tattooed in a parlour are "nine times more likely to by infected by hepatitis C due to infected needles and unsanitary conditions." In America you are not allowed to donate blood to the American Red Cross for a year after having a tattoo due to the high risk of blood borne infections.

As well as the risk from blood borne infections the ink itself poses a number of risks. Until recently the ink being used in tattoos was not monitored and many artists use inks which are not approved for skin contact. Some inks are actually "industrial grade" colours suitable for use in printers or car paint! Many people can have allergic reactions to the ink the most common one being to mercury in red inks, but others include manganese in purple inks, chromium in greens, cobalt in blues and cadmium in yellows. Irreversible darkening can occur in flesh, red, tan and white coloured inks which are used in cosmetic procedures and is thought to be caused by the conversion of ferric oxide (Fe2O3) to ferrous oxide (FeO).

Many inks also contain metal filaments so if you have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan (MRI) you may feel a burning pain. This is because magnetic metals convert the radio-frequency pulses of the MRI machine into electricity and the burning could be electricity running through the tattoo. Because of this some hospitals won't do MRI scans on people who have tattoos. MRI scans take very detailed pictures of almost all body tissues and is particularly useful in seeing areas around the spine and the brain. It is the best technique of finding tumours in the brain and whether the tumours have spread to nearby brain cells and therefore extremely important and useful.

At the moment lasers are used to try and remove tattoos or at least fade them but this is expensive and painful as it involves burning the skin which results in scarring. However, a new removable dye is just coming out which is made of plastic beads containing the dye or pigment which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. As it the dye is contained inside plastic beads it can't be absorbed by the body, however, when a laser hits the bead it breaks down and the dye is absorbed.

Tattoo artists are bound by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 as they are providing you with a service. Therefore they must provide this service with "reasonable skill and care" and they are liable for "consequential loss" if the tattoo goes wrong and you have to pay for corrections or removal. It is best to go to a licensed tattooist if only because they are more likely to have the protection and correct insurance cover should anything go wrong.

If you have suffered from any blood borne infections, allergic reactions or other medical conditions due to the negligence of your tattoo artist; or if your tattoo doesn't resemble your design or descriptions then you could be entitled to compensation towards any extra tattoo treatments or medical treatments that you required to remedy the damage, and towards any discomfort or embarrassment you may have felt while you were recovering. It is advised that you take pictures of your tattoo as evidence of any damage or incorrect detailing and if possible pictures of the designs that were intended or agreed upon for comparison purposes.

Lower Back Tattoo Designs - Alluring and Seductive

Calling all men

Why are men attracted to lower back tattoo designs? The lower back is a sensual part of the female body. The back of the neck is just as appealing for some, but there is something about the lower back, that when a strategically placed tattoo is seen peeking out ever so slightly is irresistible to the other sex.

Some of the designs themselves even resemble a certain part of female anatomy in shape.(Imagination is used here) In some cultures lower back tattoo designs are used as aphrodisiacs, to draw attention to themselves and ultimately find a mate. The designs would represent a females ranking in a tribe and her achievements.

Most often, the design is quite petite and intricate, centered and beginning at the backbone and feathering out to either side, even extending from hip to hip. This form of tattoo accentuates the hips and buttocks and reduces the waist in appearance. This area of the body rarely changes as we age, so it seems to be the perfect spot for body art.

A lower back tattoo design for some will be the beginning of a full back tattoo, which men are famous for. The back on a man is enhanced by body art if placed just so, to enhance muscle tone on the shoulder blades and external rotator cuffs.

Popular Designs

Snakes

A coiling snake represents the inner strength the lower back holds. The serpent can also be used as a goddess symbol as depicted in ancient religions.

Dolphins

A dolphin is also a mammal, which can represent life. Put two of these creatures back-to-back seemingly jumping from the water and you have an exquisite piece of art. Dolphins are also the keeper of the seas and have been known to escort lost sailors home. This is a protective symbol used by fishermen.

Celtic Dragon Tattoo - Things to Consider in Choosing Dragon Tattoos

Dragons are mythical creatures that are present in many cultures, and are used in many tattoo designs. A Celtic dragon tattoo portrays a variety of meanings to the person who wears it, and can be favorable to suffice one's craving for a unique form of art. Having a real dragon may be impossible, but having a dragon as a tattoo is relatively easy to achieve. Here are some things to consider in choosing which dragon tattoo to get:

The Celtic dragon is used to signify the creation of life and the birth of living creatures. In Celtic mythology, dragons contribute to the "balance" of the world itself. It can also symbolize strength, as it is believed that places where these dragons stay often are the spots where great power can be found.

If used as a tattoo, the Celtic dragon can be quite a sight to bask in. Its appearance can be overwhelming especially when the artist enhances the image with color and character. The Celtic tattoos are preferred mostly by men to give a sense of superiority. As this tattoo is of masculine nature, women who have strong personalities take fancy in this design.

What is more, Celtic dragons are used by the Welsh in their flag with a script scrolled below it stating their belief in the abilities of the dragon. These people seek the dragon for guidance in their lives. As such, the dragon is perceived as a sacred entity that is the most powerful of all. Tattoos using the said image can be made with reference to various historical writings and documents if a more traditional design I preferred. On the other hand, if the person to get the tattoo wishes to have a Celtic dragon that is one-of-a-kind, he may ask for assistance from skilled tattoo artists.

While some people may prefer to have their tattoo designs made by an artist before going to the tattoo salon. There are also images of the Celtic dragon available on the Internet that can make chosen as a design. The important thing in this venture is that the tattoo artist should be adept in inking the designs even if it is not of his own creation.

Also, the tattoo of a Celtic dragon is best chosen for areas of the body that can accommodate a large design. Flat and broad areas such as the chest or the back of the body are the best parts to cover with this kind of tattoo. This is because the beauty of a Celtic tattoos can be best appreciated when it is made with great detail, which will not be possible if it would only cover a small part of the body. The arms and thighs may be adorned with a tattoo of the Celtic dragon, but its detail would be limited.
