Developed by       NTDS Web Studio	History     Know more Out of two, one: Did tattooing originate once and spread throughout the world, or did it originate more than once (reincarnation?), child of many parents the world over. The concept of an independent origin lends itself to tattoo art, because it was invented several times, in different periods and parts of the world. This occured in every continent, with differing purposes, techniques, and results. When Charles Darwin wrote the book "Descent of Man" in 1871, he affirmed that, from the North Pole to New Zealand, there wasn't any indigenous culture who didn't tattoo. In order to understand the concept of its birth in multiple places, some critics suppose that tattooing was part of the baggage of the great migrations of groups of persons and therefore passed from one people to another. Primitive man tattoed himself in order to mark the facts of biological life: birth, puberty, reproduction, and death. Later, the facts of social life: becoming a warrior, priest, or king, getting married, celebrating life, identifying prisoners, asking The Imponderable for protection, guaranteeing life of the spirit during and after its stay in the body.

The letters IHS, abbreviation of the name Jesus; the fish; greek letters, etc. VARIETIES OF STYLES * Traditional: better known as the sailor's tattoo.

WHY TATTOO? The reasons which lead someone to draw on his own body, with designs and expressions only resulting from expensive and complicated techniques, are studies of sociologists, psychologists, and other professionals who study human behaviour. In many cases, tattoo is an attitude that functions as a means of identifying oneself. It serves as a banner which simbolizes adhesion to a certain social group. You only belong to this group from the moment that you have a tattoo printed on any part of the body. It is like a specific social group's clothing. For example, we have the so-called headbangers, skinheads, sailor, fisherman, among others. These tribes have as a registered mark innumerous tattoos spread throughout the entire body. Tattoo is also used as a form of rebellious expression, unconformism, or vanity. Repressed by a considerable part of society that still thinks that it is synonymous with the criminal, drug user, or subversive (among other unpleasant adjectives), the tattoo serves as a cry of protest against the system. The tattooed person feels different, and consequently, the tattoo takes on a contradictory and revolutionary value. MEANINGS. In diverse segments of the society, a tattooing is associated some tribe. If a person tatua a suástica, symbol of the nazism of Hittler, is obvious that it possesss some affection for movements anti-semitic. The sign of the anarchy is adopted by punks, caveiras for "fans of heavy rock", and demons for antichristian. But each drawing also represents the personality of the individual, and is through the styles that are possible to perceive as this person if it holds in relation to the society. According to studies (...) the tribal one, etc In the world of the marginality the tattooing also possesss one meaning proper. In the Brazilian prisoners the tattooing functions with code between the prisoners, and depending on the drawing, the other prisoners can know if the person is dangerous, worthy reliable or homosexual, besides indicating that crime it committed. In the majority of the times these tattooings are made the force, mainly in that rape or crimes against the customs is condemned by, that in the cell pass to be treated by the others as homosexuals of passive form. The materials used in these occasions are rustic, as pregos or penxs tip, and soon, they do not possess a beautiful one resulted. If the prisoner possesss a sereia, flowers or butterflies, mean that it is "homosexual". Of a punhal cravado in the brain of Ours cross and the image, three sepultures, the drawing Lady Appeared of oak mean that the prisoner is trustworthy, and that he does not expose an friend, exactly under torture. These drawings also assign the prisoners of high danger, as assailant the hand armed and assassins. The drawing of a tatuada snake means that the prisoner is a treasonous one. Some people come in any tattooing a marginality symbol, but history is treating to turn the page. In contrast of that many people think, it was not born in the wharves of port of the world. They, in the truth, had always had some meaning for the diverse peoples who inhabited the planet. E the only corpse with more than 5,000 years total preserved, a frozen múmia discovery in the Italian Alps in 1991, presented marks in the skin of the knee, that theoretically would be tattooings made for religious reasons. Currently a new thesis appeared on these marks of our Man of the Ice. Studious they say that the holes in the skin can be resulted of the acupuntura technique to deal with possible artrose. The Art So that the tattooing is evaluated as art, is necessary that the tatuador possesss a project, a drawing, and endowed with imagination and sensitivity it looks for to give to form to this project, thus characterizing the work of art. The development of the workmanship, in the case the tattooing, is made on the skin - it involves techniques, style, ability, domain of the proper languages that involve the world of the tattooing. Drawings that is applied in the skin possess content, and its meaning not is shared for tatuador and tatuado, but also for fruidor (the third involved person in the artistic project that that he contemplates the drawing), therefore it can interpret, contemplate and if sensetize or if to acquire knowledge through the workmanship. The aesthetic one of the tattooing is the playful expression (language used in the workmanship) of the author materialized plasticamente in the skin. For you make is not enough it to have an initial idea. She is necessary that this if draws out during the execution of the drawing and indicates at every moment new resulted. The drawing that will be tatuado is made directly in the skin, that is, the tatuador simply does not go to leave its fervilhante imagination to run untied in the skin of somebody without using a rough draft. This does not mean that the drawing is a copy. The tatuador creates its proper drawings and it offers the customer, and it fits to this to accept, to suggest some modifications or to ask for the drawing of another origin. It enters the some styles of tattooing, the necessary author to know to opt to the material to be used in the workmanship, for example, the type of ink and which the coloration. The techniques are subordinated to the aesthetic elements and the proposal of the creative individual. In the case of the very important tattooing that is, therefore a simple error many times is not possible of being repaired. The components aesthetic derive between the content and the form. Moreover the tattooing also possesss order, harmony and perfection. The content provém of the experience of the tatuador, of its experience and knowledge of the world. From the playful one it originates form, that is determined by the capacity of the creator in using the intrinsic values. In the tattooing it is possible to notice the compositivo space, rhythm, tonality, texture and other elements come from an adequacy technician-ideativa. Then the content and the form if establish, propitiating the direction of plasticity of the workmanship. In the tattooing it is possible to observe: in the order a dynamism that binds to the relation of cause and consequence, in order to get the intended aesthetic result; the harmony will have to be in accordance with the content and the form of the workmanship, thus characterizing a harmonic direction between the intended intention and the gotten appearance; the perfection is raised degree of the human spirit that author will be able to reach. One is not about a work beautiful or ugly, or absolutely perfect, but of a relative conquest of the perfection. The adjustment adjusted between the fondness and making is to feel in the fullness. The balance of these three quality produces the value aesthetic of the tattooing. The aesthetic object is launched to the enjoyment and appreciation of the spectator, while the artistic object it would be in a more posterior stage, after the fact to be consummated as art. The ready workmanship is the proposal of an aesthetic object of its creator. It will be placed to the appreciation of the spectator, will suffer diverse interpretations, that many times will differentiate of the will and opinion of the author. The appreciation is a complex social phenomenon, and the tattooing is fit in the society in kept out of society way, therefore it is not seen as art for preconception of the people. IF I TO REPENT ME! The staff who uses this process is for professional reason if he is deceptive. The majority removes simply because it was gotten tired or done work did not like it. Happily today, for these people, we have efficient faster methods e. The method the laser or for scraping, as it was used old. The laser blows up pigments. The light happens, the pigment absorbs this light and blows up inside of the skin in lesser particles in highest temperature, that arrives the 1000 Celcius degrees. This device functions more in dark tattooings, according to demartologista the average of applications in top of a segment is of 6 the 7 times, with intervals of more or less 1 month, being able to be made with or without anesthesia, for who has fear to feel pain. This method can leave scar if badly applied. The scraping, is inverse process of the application of the tattooing, the ink will be expelled to the few of form that goes clareando to each application, generally used in old tattooings, of pigments clareados for the time, numbers it of applications in accordance with varies the intensity of the color of the tattooing.
