Tattoos Piercings and Body Jewelry

Many times when we think of tattoos, we think of a very long and painful process. This is often a very frightening thought. A lot of people wouldn't even think of getting a tattoo simply because of their idea of what the process involves.

To understand what getting a tattoo means, we have to first take a quick look at a small part of the human anatomy. The skin is made up of two layers; the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin; the part we can see and touch. The dermis is the deeper layer, or secondary layer.

When a tattoo is applied, the ink is injected deep into the dermis. As the epidermis sheds an enormous amount of cells every day, the dermis is a much more appropriate place to inject ink. Otherwise, shedding occurs causing the tattoo to be only temporary. When injected into the dermis, the tattoo ink lasts a lifetime.

A simple search on the Internet will show a vast array of all different kinds, sizes and colors of tattoos. Sometimes the mere decision on the final design is a big enough task in and of itself. Even if a sample is copied, it can be altered in just about any way giving even more options.

The biggest variation among tattoos is size. Tattoos can be very tiny or very large. Tattoos might be as tiny as a single small letter, a minuscule flower or a dinky symbol. Tiny tattoos aren't always the easiest, however as they can prove quite difficult if more detail is involved in such a small space.

Large tattoos are very commonly seen. Tattoos stretching down the entire back, all the way across the chest and even full sleeves are regularly found among tattoo enthusiasts. Perhaps the biggest of them all are the full body tattoos, which aren't uncommon.

These days, it is not uncommon for tattoos to be associated with other forms of body art. In many areas, especially larger cities, tattoo studios are no longer solely tattoo studios, as they also offer piercings. In combining these two, two issues frequently arise. First, while many people consider tasteful, well-done tattoos to be a legitimate form of self-expression through artwork, a large number in this category also consider body piercing to be unacceptable; or, at the very least, undesirable. It is difficult to communicate this to young people, especially teenagers, when an increasing number of tattoo studios also offer body piercing. Kids will naturally assume that if artwork is acceptable, acquiring holes and rings in various parts of their anatomies should also be acceptable.

The ritual of tattooing and adorning the body with ink and color has been a tradition for centuries. Tattooing is definitely not a fad, or a practice reserved to any particular element of society. It is a tradition that has been found in all parts of the world, in different sects of society.

At certain points of time tattooing has been associated with rebel tribal groups, and at others it has been a mark of distinction of royal classes, and at others it has been a key element in the process of maturation into adulthood.

As with most things in life, changing times signals new improvements, and tattoos are not an exception. The process itself has come a long way since people had no choice but to use crude homemade instruments to force equally-crude variations of ink into their skins. People these days also do not need to resort to regular needles and either ashes or bottles of India ink, because most have clean, sterile tattoo studios and licensed, reputable artists readily available. For a practice that has been around nearly since the beginning of time, such factors as health, safety, and procedure are relatively modern.

Since South Carolina lifted its ban against tattooing in 2004, which required eleven years of failed attempts before its eventual success, the state of Oklahoma remained the sole hold-out in banning tattoos until that ban also was finally lifted at the end of 2006. Currently, tattooing is legal in all states of the United States, each with its own set of laws, some of which are governed by the state itself, others which have left the matter in the hands of city or other local governments.
