White tattoos

TO traditional way application can be classified into the following group. In fact, it differs from ordinary tattoos only in the color of the paint. White color is often used in all sorts of unusual tattoos for girls, and representatives of the stronger sex choose this color much less often.

It's about introduction coloring pigment in the eyes. The cornea or even the iris may be stained. The technology appeared just recently. Some desperate people have already managed to take a risk and put such unusual tattoos on their eyes.

Incredible facts

The tattoo, which was previously considered something exclusive to bikers, punks and the like, today is very fashion accessory, which can be found as often as an earring in the ear.

“It’s a completely different world today compared to the one I came into 10 years ago,” says tattoo artist Megan Massacre.

In this article, we take a look at the history of body art, what the ink is made of, and what's really behind the tattoo craze.

Facts about tattoos

Fact #1: Tattoos have been around as long as humans.

The oldest tattoo belongs to the 5,300-year-old human ice mummy Oetzi, who is the oldest mummy ever discovered.

Ancient tribes used tattoos to mark many important life events, such as turning a boy into a man, marriage, punishment, faith, love, etc. According to many researchers, Ötzi's tattoo was more therapeutic.

Each society had its own characteristics and ways of modifying the body, but, as a rule, the ink consisted of plant or animal tissue. One of interesting recipes ink consisted of so-called black smoke (derived from wood or oil) mixed with breast milk women.

While the Inuit used threads soaked in ink to draw designs on their skin, the Maori people of New Zealand used tools to cut wood.

In almost all societies, the tattoo artist spent his entire life learning the dirty, painful process. In order to prepare the skin to accept the ink, sharpened sticks, needles, stones and other tools were used to cut the skin.

“In ancient times, without the proper equipment, tattoos were much more painful and took a lot of time to apply,” says Massacre.

Fact #2: A tattoo artist is very hard work, which is not easy to obtain.

Constant, ritual modifications to the human body are years of training. As research by Michigan State University experts has shown, in ancient times this was a sacred profession.

Today modern masters are tattooists They also undergo training courses lasting several years.“Like other jobs, all craftsmen start out as apprentices, doing various kinds of menial work,” Megan explains.

In fact, in the first year of practice, no one allows a newbie to approach the client. Instead, he learns how to properly clean equipment, learns how to protect himself and the patient from blood pathogens, and learns all the necessary medical conditions within which it must operate.

Fact No. 3: Tattoo artists are not always people with the appropriate education.

While it was once the domain of roving criminals and other unsavory figures, today everything has changed. However, before this "phenomenon" became widespread in the 1960s, many craftsmen did not follow safety requirements and did not comply with proper standards.

Such tattooists, as a rule, never had the necessary knowledge and were probably never even trained in the business, but due to the lack of real regulation in this area, anyone who made good money could afford to get a tattoo.

In the second half of the 20th century, when tattoos regained their former popularity, artists, entrepreneurs, managers, accountants, teachers and many others began to become masters.

“At one time it was not considered art, but now it is an artistic profession, because so many craftsmen have a design or art education.”

Fact #4: Leather is very difficult to paint on.

Tattooing

"The tattoo doesn't actually go all the way through the skin. It goes through 4-5 layers." Craftsmen learn their craft without actually seeing what they do because of the blood, ink, and equipment.

Additionally, leather, unlike paper or canvas, is not uniform in color, texture, or thickness. Good master It takes a long time to learn to create a single picture, avoiding scars, irregularities and stains.

Fact #5: Many people are allergic to red tattoo ink.

Does your skin change color when you wear jewelry? You may be allergic to nickel. Nickel allergy is the most common form of allergy contact dermatitis(a rash caused by skin contact with a harmless substance).

However, when ink is injected under the skin, things are a little different. The ink can cause mild inflammation, which can take longer for the skin to heal. Some people may experience severe allergic reactions for tattoos.

The results can be disastrous in some cases, so double check if you are allergic to red ink before getting a tattoo.

Fact No. 6: When you leave the tattoo artist, this does not mean that the procedure is finished.

You yourself can influence your tattoo, despite the fact that it is under the skin. A tan is the worst enemy of a tattoo. At laser removal Tattooing uses ultraviolet light, this is the same as tanning, only in more concentrated quantities.

Since the tattoo penetrates only 4-5 layers of skin, the melanin, thanks to which our skin tans, is located at the very “top” of the design. Over time, white, yellow and orange ink colors lighten and oxidize.

Over time, even black ink oxidizes and takes on a bluish tint. If you can't hide from the sun, then cover it up to preserve your tattoo for a longer period of time. sunscreen or don't wear it open clothes on the street.

Fact #7: Tattoos can glow, vibrate, and can be placed on any part of the body.

Vibrating tattoos were known about a few months ago, when Nokia patented magnetic vibrating tattoos - designs that inform you about the "activity" of your phone.

Tattoos can glow in the dark and even react to black light. Nevertheless, There is no such thing as an "invisible tattoo". Even completely transparent inks appear when human skin changes color due to the sun, emotions or seasons.

It is not news that people get tattoos on all parts of their body. This includes the inner surface of the lips, heels, and other more sensitive areas. Megan talks about a man who got a tattoo on the white of his eye.

A tattoo on the penis is not uncommon, however, in this case, for obvious reasons, heterosexual men prefer to contact a female artist.

Fact #8: Drinking before getting a tattoo is a bad idea.

A good artist will not undertake to tattoo a tipsy client. Keyword the previous sentence contained the word "good". So many artists will just take your money, do their job, and send you home to deal with your hangover and ink reaction.

Alcohol may make you less sensitive to pain, but it will also thin your blood, causing you to bleed more during the process. In turn, in addition to harming the client, a large loss of blood will complicate the work of the master and will significantly prolong the process.

Thus, You should not drink alcohol either before or after the procedure, let the wound heal first. If you are looking for a product that will help numb the pain, then there are special products on sale, however, they are not designed to last throughout the entire procedure, so be prepared for pain.

What should you pay attention to in a tattoo parlor?

The most important thing, of course, is sterilization of equipment. Look around and see how clean the area is, if there is dust in the corners, if there are any foreign odors. This is the main thing that should be in mandatory normal, the rest is up to you.

For some, the blackwork style, covering the skin with a monotonous black color, vulgar trash, glow-in-the-dark tattoos, or the now popular white pigment will already be the height of unusualness.

For others, the peculiarity of a tattoo is related to the place where it was applied ( eyeball, eyelids, intimate area), variation (huge area of ​​application, unusual subjects) or novelty (after all, both new school and trash were once new to the art of tattooing).

If you are interested in unusual and original sketches, then it’s best to find an artist and order him a unique drawing.

Perhaps over the years you will regret your choice, however, it will be difficult to do anything with giraffes tattooed from shoulder to fingertips. Remember that moderation is good in everything.

Unusual tattoos, photos of which you see in our article, gravitate towards several trends:

Unusual combination of tree and face

Youth tattoos with jokes

This is the choice of optimists who approach life lightly and carefree, who do not look for complex symbolism in every drawing, but make their body a canvas for original and funny ideas.

Among this trend, the image of a mustache on a finger or eyes, nose, mouth, camera, spyglass, tears - on the hand. Such a design is usually placed on the corresponding part of the face, attracting attention and surprising others.

This also includes animal tattoos on the fingers, made in such a way that each limb of a giraffe or elephant is responsible for separate finger, after which you can make funny scenes with your hands.

When I was still a teenager, my parents forbade me to get a tattoo. As he grew older, he lost his love for ordinary images and decided to get a tattoo on his tongue, incredible at that time. I still remember the feeling, and have never regretted the choice I made. In my opinion, this incredible experience should definitely be experienced firsthand.

Tattoo in watercolor style

3D images and optical illusions

Biomechanics is especially famous for this approach, however, it can also be found in other areas. These body designs will definitely attract attention with their incredibly realistic detailing, which will make many doubt what they see.

A master who perfectly masters the art of chiaroscuro and the ability to correctly convey dynamics is able to depict a butterfly landing on his shoulder in such a way that no one can distinguish it from a real one. And imitation of cavities in human body, laces, zippers, bare bones or elemental ballpoint pen behind the ear will certainly make a splash in any company.

Biomechanics covers my entire back, chest and arms. At first I wanted to do only the sleeves, but gradually the idea of ​​the tattoo grew and grew. I can say that such an experiment is not suitable for everyone, because not all people will be able to get used to constant attention from others. My friends and I are completely satisfied with this masterpiece.

Unusual pigments

This includes the so-called white tattoo and ultraviolet, neon designs that can glow in the dark or in the light of special lamps. If white designs are mostly chosen modest girls, then the second option captivated partygoers and nightlife. Not every artist will agree to work with such materials, but the cost of implementing such an idea is usually an order of magnitude higher than usual tattoos.

People began decorating their bodies with permanent images back in primitive society; tattoos were used to designate a tribe or clan, social status and as a talisman. A few decades ago, tattoos were signs of social outcasts - bikers, prostitutes, criminals. The tattoo was mainly of a political, military, social and prison nature.

But as for modern times, tattoos as a phenomenon have now come out of the underground and have ceased to be an attribute of certain social groups. Today, the average girl probably has a butterfly on her neck or a unicorn on her back. Tattooing has become an integral way of self-expression and self-identification, and as a genre of art it has absorbed the entire breadth of visual techniques, moving away from traditional permanent designs every year. Some people find it beautiful, others find it terrible, but there is no doubt that this madness is interesting to watch.

We have collected 5 of the newest, most amazing and even shocking types of tattoos that not everyone can decide on.

Eyeball tattoo

Perhaps a tattoo on the eyeball is the most severe body modification of all that currently exists. The pioneer of this terrible idea was Shannon Larratt, the founder and owner of the most famous site dedicated to changes in the human body.

The technology for applying an eye tattoo does not use a machine; it is usually done with a syringe and paint. As a rule, the eyeball is filled with one color, although sometimes there are rare color exceptions.

Fluorescent tattoo

A fluorescent tattoo is applied with fluorescent inks and glows under ultraviolet light. In natural light, such a tattoo is completely invisible, but in neon it will become clear and will emit a mysterious bluish glow. They look very impressive traditional work, lightly tinted with fluorescent paint.

Accessory tattoo

An accessory tattoo is no different in technology from a regular one. Some people simply decided to never part with their favorite things, and this led to the idea of ​​​​getting a tattoo of these very things. For example, Matthew, a guy from the USA, once decided to never take off his glasses.

Dental tattoo

American dentist Steve Heward is considered to be the founder of the dental tattoo fashion. This fashion has little in common with a regular tattoo, since the method of applying designs to tooth enamel and the traditional technology of applying a tattoo are different. To have an image on your teeth, you don’t even have to be there yourself - just send a plaster cast of the tooth and a picture by mail.

Tattoo on tongue

Quite surprisingly, a tongue tattoo is no different from a regular tattoo, for example, on the shoulder. The pain when applying a drawing is the same, only the fact is that the tongue is not a part of the skin, but a muscle, and the process is still different from the traditional one. The ink is applied not to the tongue, but to the epidermis of the tongue. A rapidly moving needle seems to implant paint into the tongue. The most difficult thing about getting a tongue tattoo is that you have to hold your tongue out for quite a long time.

• imitation zippers, laces;
