Tattooed Cats in Russia
Still dazed after being anaesthetised for three hours, a pedigree pet is hauled upright to show off its new tattoo.
The controversial “body enhancement” was carried out on Mickey – a rare Canadian Hairless breed also known as a Sphynx cat.
An RSPCA spokesman said: “We are totally against using animals for purely cosmetic reasons just on the owner’s whim. Clearly the animal has no say in the matter.
“We do not believe in using pets as fashion accessories. It shows no respect for the animal whatsoever. So far we have only heard about this practice happening overseas – and we hope it doesn’t spread.”

Tattoo Is a Cultural Sacred Design
I wrote a post on Is Tattoo Just A Body Art or A Cultural Sacred Design and this has been my most popular post as many people are interested in tattoo. There are 2 main reasons as to why people decide to get tattoo, as for some, they only see tattoo as a body art, the canvas is on the human body, a very fascinating concept to me. I don’t have a tattoo, but I do see the beauty in tattoos and this type of tattoo is more popular amongst women and very popular in Japan from what I have came across.

This video of Thai spiritual tattoo, also known as Sak Yant by Ajahn Noo Kanpai is very interesting, I’ve seen the actual temple tattoo on a friend, which I think it’s fascinating because it’s not your ordinary tattoo; the design has a religious feel to it.

Chinese Dragon Tattoos
Chinese characters tattoos are not the only type of Chinese tattoo that is popular today. Chinese dragon tattoos are very popular as well.
The Chinese dragon is a long snake-like creature, usually with 5 claws and without wings.
In Chinese culture there is the belief that wearing the image of a dragon on you is considered very unlucky. The Chinese symbol for dragon on the other hand is considered lucky.
Sometimes you see a person with a tattoo of a dragon combined with the Chinese dragon character. This always reminds me of these picture books that are used to teach children how to read. Imagine a tattoo of an eagle with the English word 'Eagle' below it, kind of silly, not?
Japanese tattoo is called irezumi or horimono in Japanese. In Japan, tattoo is usually considered to be a symbol of a yakuza (Japanese mafia) and tends to be perceived negatively by people. For example, many public bath facilities in Japan inhibit customers who have tattoos from entering. Traditional Japanese tattoo covers arms, shoulders, and the back. In recent years, it's becoming popular for Japanese young people to get contemporary tattoos. Tattoo events are often held in big cities, and there are many Japanese tattoo shops in Japan. It's good to contact them before
The sad fact is that you will not find a tattoo parlor in the yellow pages who can make such incredible artwork. This tattoo requires a Japanese artist, but anyway a trip to Japan might be worth the trouble.
There is another catch. This is not the sort of tattoo to show off to your friends. Japanese are way more subtle than this. They are supposed to be shown only to your girlfriend or boyfriend, or occasionally to the local Yakuza mob. Yep you are reading right, this is what subtlety is in Japan, I have heard that they are still working on it. Nobody gets it right in the first place you know? Also these tattoos will hurt… a lot, because they are still doing the whole damn thing manually, so for every dot of the tattoo expect a needle expertly inserted in your skin, that if you’re lucky of course and through the expert hand there isn’t some sake flowing.[STH]

tatto is beautiful
Tatto
It's not really known how long tattooing has been around but it's quite possibly as long as 12,000 years ago and we do know the ancient Egyptians practiced the art of tattooing.One may think the art of tattooing has its history mainly with men. Not so. Women from various cultures tattooed their bodies for a variety of reasons. Take the women from Borneo. They would mark themselves to show what they were skilled at, such as weaving or a gatherer of medicinal herbs. This communicated their rank as marriage material. In western Asia, girls were marked in such a way as to show their place in society.
Tattooing has gone through its ups and downs over the centuries, has even been banned many times in different cultures for periods of time. It appears that tattooing will never really go away. During periods of a ban it seems to go underground until such time it is free to resurface.
Tattooing, (which is a Tahitian word meaning "to be marked") in some cultures, has only the women being allowed to do the markings.
Today's women are free to make their own choices in regards to tattooing. It is becoming more and more popular to have artistic designs placed just about anywhere on the body. You commonly see tattoos adorning an ankle, or husbands or boyfriends names on a forearm. Some women like to have a private tattoo for their spouse only.

Dayak Tattoo History
Borneo Tattoos Models
Tattoos are very rarely found in the knees. Yet there is also a tattoo on the knee in men and women that is usually made at the end of making a tattoo on the body. Tattoos are made on the knees and curled up to her calf like a snake, real or imitation dog called castings buvong asu.
Both tattoos on men and women, are traditionally made using orange spines long and gradually and then use some needle pieces all at once. What has not changed is the material making tattoos are usually using soot from the pot black.
"Because of that, tattoos are made of colorful, there is a green, yellow and red, certainly not the traditional tattoos that contain high filososfis meaning," said Yacobus Bayau Lung.
Colorful tattoos are made among the youth today, is merely decorative tattoos have no meaning nothing. Images and placement done haphazardly and carelessly. Tattoos like that have absolutely no religious value and appreciation, but only just for beauty, and even some who want to be perceived as a bully.

sebenernya ini terinspirasi dari geisha yang bertatto..so jadi penasaran tentang asal mula per-tattoan itu…
(gambar ini penginspirasi gue..)
Sebutan tattoo konon diambil dari kata tatu dalam bahasa Tahiti. Kata ini pertama kali tercatat oleh peradaban Barat dalam ekspedisi James Cook pada 1769.
Menurut Encyclopedia Britannica, tattoo tertua ditemukan pada mumi Mesir dari abad ke-20 SM. Tapi, tanda permanent yang dibuat dengan cara memasukan pewarna kedalam lapisan kulit itu ditemui hampir diseluruh belahan dunia..
Dalam catatan Ady Rosa, 48 tahun, dosen seni rupa, universitas Negeri padang, Sumatra Barat, tattoo mesir baru ada pada 1300 SM. Menurut magister seni murni, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), ini, orang mentawai sudah menattoo badan sejak kedatangan mereka ke pantai Barat Sumatra. Bangsa proto melayu ini datang dari daratan asia (indocina), pada Zaman logam, 1500 SM-500SM.
Itu artinya, tattoo mentawailah yang paling tua di dunia. Di mentawai, tattoo dikenal dengan istilah tatu. Selain mentawai dan mesir, tattoo juga terdapat di Siberia (300 SM), Inggris (54 SM), Indian Haida di Amerika, suku-suku di Eskimo, Hawai, dan kepulauan Marquesas.
Budaya rajah ini juga ditemukan pada suku Rapa Nui dikepulauan Easter, suku Maori di selandia baru, suku Dayak di kalimantan, dan suku Sumba di sumatra barat. Bagi orang mentawai, tattoo merupakan roh kehidupan.
Walau dulu tattoo dianggap hal yang tabu dan jelek namun sekarang tattoo dianggap sesuatu yang modis dan trendi. Tattoo tai lalat, tattoo memerahkan bibir, tattoo alis sampai tattoo yang gambar yang memindahkan kanvas lukis ke seluruh badan.
Bahkan, para peminatnya kini bukan hanya pada kalangan biasa atau pada orang – orang iseng yang ingin gagah-gagahan. Para artis pun kini banyak yang menggunakan tattoo sebagai asesoris. Sebut saja beberapa artis seperti Nafa Urbach, Riff, Jodi, Indro Warkop, dan mungkin masih banyak lagi.
Seni tattoo memiliki beberapa macam aliran : Natural, Oldskool, Tribal, New skool dan biomechanik.
Nuansa tattoo yang beragam ini semakin menambah semaraknya dunia tattoo dan penggemarnya secara tidak langsung membuat image masyarakat tentang tattoo menjadi lebih baik tidak dipandang sesuatu yang tabu.
Tattoo udah bukan barang lama lagi, juga bukan hal aneh. Sekarang banyak orang yang bertattoo bukan Cuma pria tapi wanita juga sudah banyak dijumpai, lantas mengapa mereka bertattoo ?
Tattoo atau rajah sih sekarang udah dijadiin seni body painting, ada nilai seni yang tidak terlihat dari coretan gambar yang terpampang di molek tubuh seseorang.
Sekarang mesti belum ada larangan mengenai hal bertattoo-an tapi kalau di Indonesia ini menjadi aneh dan berkesan miring bagi orang yang mempunyai tattoo di satu bagian tubuhnya, mungkin karena alasan agama dan norma dan sepertinya tattoo lebih dekat dengan hal yang berbau kriminal (preman lah, perampok lah pokoknya yang serem-serem dah).Yang jelas tattoo merupakan salah satu cara dari jutaan cara untuk ungkapkan ekspresi dan menampilkan diri dimuka umum dengan jalan mencari perhatian atau kesenangan pribadi.
tapi kadang tatto bikin orang susah nyari pekerjaan, Tapi ko TOrra sudiro kaga ya ?? brarti orang bertato harus bermuka seganteng torra jadi orang ga fokus ama tattonya dan kudu jadi artist atau seniman
tapi tetep selucu-lucunya tatto , aku ga ada niatan sama sekali mentatto tubuhku, alasannya adalah :
1. menurutku dilarang agamaku, karena ga bisa wudhu dan solat,
2. bisa ga merit ama cowokku , karena dia benci dengan perempuan bertatto
3. ya ampoon ama jarum suntik aja takut gimana ama jarum tatto,
4. sayang ama kulitku yang ntar tersakit2 karena tatto, dan
5. emang kaga mau dan rela di tatto !! hihihihihi..
Nb : buat orang2 yang bertatto di luar sana “no hurt feeling” yaa…piss,
