People sporting sexy tattoos attract our sense of excitement and adventure. Only the most daring among us would have the guts to subject ourselves to the ritual of the 5 needles and the many colored inks, the pigments to be pierced into the layers of our skin. Fashion and style are the main reasons for these permanent skin decorations. It is an edgy sort of style that used to belong to the Samoans, the Japanese, the Maoris, some tribes in the African terrains, and in countries such as Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.
Ancient and tribal tattoos were administered not merely to decorate the body, but also for sacred purposes. Some were symbols of rank and prowess. In Western history, sailors and servicemen were well known regulars of the tattoo parlor. Nowadays, anybody could be sporting a tattoo. The practice has developed into an art form. Practitioners are called artists, as well they should be. Today’s tattoo artists work with an array inks, dyes, and pigments. There are now high tech machines that help with the process. Skin and the human body is the canvas. A good sense of design and style are most needed in this field, not to mention technical know-how and some training in related health issues. This has injected professionalism into the practice. Competitions are regularly held, as well as conventions and get-togethers
