FBI wants a tattoo database!

Ever since President Obama signed National Defense Authorization Act into law, U.S. law enforcement and military agencies have begun to document everything they can about American citizens. Whether it is the new biometric database that the FBI has started, or the use of military spy drones domestically. Just this week, the firm D-Star Engineering has received what appears to be the first contract (for $4.8 million) awarded under the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Great Horned Owl program to develop a new class of quiet small unmanned aircraft.

More on tribals

Tribal designs intended for tattoos have always been popular, this also is true of pectoral tattoo designs. Classic and neo tribal designs work nicely, since they can potentially be expanded into a tattoo sleeve at a later stage, if wanted. Some other brands of tribal tattoos, for example Maori and also Polynesian, may just as easily be tattooed on your upper body.

Getting a tattoo

Getting a tattoo done can be a fun and exciting experience, but don't get one you will regret. Before going to a tattoo parlor, decide on a design you want. There are a number of ideas you could use for the design, but the final decision is yours. Don't let anyone else influence your decision, or you might regret it later.

So what are some good tattoo design ideas?

1. A Memory. One good idea for a tattoo design is from one of your own memories. It could be to honor someone who has passed away, in honor of a child, or maybe even a pet. It could also be in honor of a trip you made or an accomplishment in your life that you don't want to forget. You could make the design a literal interpretation of the memory, or make it more symbolic so only you and maybe a few people know what it relates to.

2. Quote or a Saying. Another common idea for a tattoo design is to simply get a quote or saying. These are most often from a famous person. Whether it's from a poet, a chinese proverb, a celebrity/other famous person, or just one symbolic word. Anything could work. Plus, the quote/saying tattoo design is very versatile, as it can be placed nearly anywhere on the body and still have aesthetic appeal.

3. Famous Painting or Drawing. If you are looking for a larger tattoo, using a painting or drawing as a reference is a great idea. It could be from someone famous or from a lesser known artist who you really admire. It could even be a family members' art work if someone in your family paints or draws. Since a lot of paintings are relatively larger, this is a good idea for a tattoo that will take up a bit more space. Typically, ideas like this are seen on the broad space of ones back. However, given the painting or design, some good ones can be wrapped around the forearm in the classic tattoo sleeve.

Remember when you are looking for tattoo designs that you can also work with the tattoo artist at a nearby parlor. If you have an idea you like, but can't draw it yourself stop in the parlor and ask if you can have a sketch done. It would be a good idea to call ahead of time though, especially if the design could take a while to explain. However, one of the tattoo artists at the parlor will likely be

Where to place your tattoo

Tattoo locations that are easily concealable:

1. Chest/Back The chest is a good location for a tattoo that can be concealed during work and revealed during leisure. During the summer weeks you can wear a v-neck or button up to reveal at least part of the tattoo, but it can still be hidden during working hours. The chest is also a good location for a multitude of different designs. There are plenty of good quotes/sayings, floral designs. chinese/japanese characters and designs, and other tattoos that would look good on the chest.

The back is also a good place to get a concealable tattoo. Because the back is very broad and relatively flat, it's also a good place for larger pieces of artwork. However, as with the chest, nearly any type of tattoo design can work. From a single word stretching down the spine to a multipiece work that covers the entire span of the back, anything can be done.

2. Legs/Feet. Although not a many designs are typically used on the lower body as the upper body, the legs and feet are another good choice for a concealable tattoo (unless your job happens to require shorts?). Given the length and slenderness of the legs, it makes them a better candidate for a long, stretching design. The feet are a good spot for smaller designs like a dolphin, flower, or butterfly (typically seen more on women).

Other places for a tattoo:

3. Arms. The arms are a good place for a tattoo also, but even a tattoo on the upper arm can accidentally be revealed when wearing short sleeves. However, as with the legs, the form of the arms opens the opportunity for long, stretching tattoos that can even stretch around. Another popular form of tattoo is the tattoo sleeve on the forearm. This can be done with either a single design or by mixing several designs together in a collage effect.

When deciding where to get a tattoo, it is important to keep in mind how visible you want it to be. Also, if you are undecided between two different locations there is a tip to help you. Draw it on yourself. Take a non-toxic marker (that you aren't allergic to either) and try drawing it on yourself. That way you will get a feel for how it looks without making a permanent commitment to it. Even if you regret it later down the road there are ways to remove a tattoo.

Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos account for nearly a third of all new tattoos inked globally, which has grown ten folds over the last few years. There is no doubting they look fantastic, but do most people really know the meaning behind them? This article delves into the history behind tribal tattoos, to give you a better understanding of why they came about.

In ancient times, tribal tattoo art was popular as it is today. First and foremost, as the name "tribal" suggests, people were inked to identify clans, tribes and families. Not only did this enable them to easily identify one another, or recognize distant relatives, but it was generally believed that the tattoos would allow people to find their tribe and join it again in the afterlife.
In addition to the above, men and women also used to "wear" a marriage tattoo in certain tribes. This would essentially serve as the modern day wedding ring and again, would allow a person to find their spouse in the afterlife. Although with the high rate of divorce we currently see, maybe one lifetime is more than enough!!! In modern times, this form of tribal tattoo is still prevalent, and you will often see spouses with matching tattooed armbands, rings or initials, showing a permanent marking of their love and fidelity.

Another reason for tribal tattooing was for young adults approaching maturity. By having a tattoo, they would then be socially accepted as an adult. However, a woman who couldn't bear the pain of a tattoo would be unfit for the impending pain of childbirth - making her unacceptable for marriage. Quite harsh we think, but different strokes for different folks! A young man who couldn't withhold the pain of a tattoo would be seen as unfit for battle or hunting and would therefore be seen as an outcast and not a valuble as others. Too right!

So if you are thinking of getting a tribal tattoo, these are some of the reasons why we have such stunning designs in the modern day. Honed over hundreds of years, we advise you to find out the meaning of any design you may want. It could turn into a great bar story too, or even one for the grand kids!

The internet would be a great place to start you research, and even tattoo parlors these days, would surely know what most of the meanings are before they put them to skin.
