rotary tattoo machinePosted by Jimmy Formas on 11/24/2005art is the most interesting part of skills to combine the knowledge great teacher come from too many artist.for creating the unique concept on it."tattoos are permanent and a life long commitment as yourself....reflection.I recommend when you chooses a design that reflect on your attitude.that they same as you respect yourself and the idea for what you will created on your mind to bring them life and values of art to last and forever.

The human figure has been an important subject for artists for over 2000 years - since primitive man carved stone fertility goddesses, and ancient Greeks first carved figures in marble. Their timeless, great sculptures set the standard for the representation of the figure for many centuries. In the 19th century, when artists such as the Impressionists began to depict the figure in a modern way (no longer idealized, and wearing the clothes of 19th century Europe), the figure remained an important subject of art. Modern art in the 20th century continued to question the centuries-old artistic traditions, and depicted the figure in ways that were sometimes hard to even recognize - but still the figure was depicted. Now, in the early 21st century, artists are still using the human form in their work, albeit in unexpected and sometimes provocative ways. The human form is us - and will probably always be represented in some way in art.this is the most important on comics and tattoo. |

"Men, young and old, all tattoo their faces and decorate their bodies with designs....A son of the ruler of Shao-k'ang of Hsia, when he was offered as lord of K' uai-chi, cut his hair and decorated his body with designs in order to avoid the attack of serpents and dragons. The Wa (Japanese), who are fond of diving into water to get fish and shells, also decorated their bodies in order to keep away large fish and waterfowl. Later, however, the designs became merely ornamental. Designs on the body differ in the various countries.... their position and size vary according to the rank of the individual" (Goodrich 1951:10). |

What henna is not however is BLACK. Most black henna as it is called is natural henna adulterated with a toxic chemical dye called ParaPhenylenediamine or PPD for short. When added to henna the resulting stain is black. PPD may also be used alone to stain skin black PPD stains the skin absolutely black within 2 hours and the stain can last easily 2 weeks. PPD penetrates deep into the skin, reaching the dermis (living cells) and passing into the blood stream is extremely dangerous in either case, because it is a toxin that is able to get into the bloodstream through the skin. Once in the system, PPD toxins collect in the liver, causing liver and kidney damage and exposure can lead to cancer of these organs .please stop using black henna. tattooist and clients can ruin your life and health. i would like to thanks to ms.Catherine Cartwright-Jones on henna page.for more information regarding from safe traditional henna tattoo. |

tattoo history that come from on 1st ROTARY TATTOO MACHINE Jimmy Formas: tattoo, or dermal pigmentation, is a mark made by inserting pigment into the skin for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding. Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, wore facial tattoos, as do some Maori of New Zealand to this day. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples, and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and China. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular all over the world, including a large trend emerging in Australia. this is commonly believed that the original root word of "tattoo" comes from the Tongan or the Tahitian word tatau, meaning to mark or strike twice (the latter referring to traditional methods of applying the designs).[1] The first syllable "ta", meaning "hand", is repeated twice as an onomatopoeic reference to the repetitive nature of the action, and the final syllable "U" translates to "color".[citation needed] The instrument used to pierce the skin in Polynesian tattooing is called a hahau, the syllable "ha" meaning to "strike or pierce".[citation needed] The OED gives the etymology of tattoo as "In 18th c. tattaow, tattow. From Polynesian (Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan, etc.) tatau. In Marquesan, tatu." The first closest known usage of the word in English was recorded in the diary of Captain James Cook in 1769 during his voyage to the Marquesas Islands. The text reads, “...they print signs on people’s body and call this tattaw”, referring to the Polynesian customs.[citation needed] Sailors on the voyage later introduced both the word and reintroduced the concept of tattooing to Europe.[2] In Japanese the most common word used for traditional designs or those that are applied using traditional methods is irezumi ("insertion of ink"), while "tattoo" is used for non-Japanese designs. Tattoo enthusiasts may refer to tattoos as "tats," "ink," "art," or "work," and to tattooists as "artists." The latter usage is gaining greater support, with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of both traditional and custom tattoo designs. Copyrighted tattoo designs that are mass-produced and sold to tattoo artists are known as flash, a notable instance of industrial design. Flash sheets are prominently displayed in many tattoo parlors for the purpose of providing both inspiration and ready-made tattoo images to customers. Some tribal cultures traditionally created tattoos by cutting designs into the skin and rubbing the resulting wound with ink, ashes or other agents; some cultures continue this practice, which may be an adjunct to scarification. Some cultures create tattooed marks by hand-tapping the ink into the skin using sharpened sticks or animal bones or, in modern times, needles. Traditional Japanese tattoos (irezumi) are still "hand-poked," that is, the ink is inserted beneath the skin using non-electrical, hand-made and hand held tools with needles of sharpened bamboo or steel. The most common method of tattooing in modern times is the electric tattoo machine, which inserts ink into the skin via a group of needles that are soldered onto a bar, which is attached to an oscillating unit. The unit rapidly and repeatedly drives the needles in and out of the skin, usually 80 to 150 times a second. This modern procedure is ordinarily sanitary. The needles are single-use needles that come packaged individually. The tattoo artist must wash not only his or her hands, but they must also wash the area that will be tattooed. Gloves must be worn at all times and the wound must be wiped frequently with a wet disposable towel of some kind. Prices for this service vary widely globally and locally, depending on the complexity of the tattoo, the skill and expertise of the artist, the attitude of the customer, the costs of running a business, the economics of supply and demand, etc. The time it takes to get a tattoo is in proportion with its size and complexity. A small one of simple design might take fifteen minutes, whereas an elaborate tattoo sleeve or back piece requires multiple sessions of several hours each. The modern electric tattoo machine is far removed from the machine invented by Samuel O'Reilly in 1891. O'Reilly's machine was based on the rotary technology of the electric engraving device invented by Thomas Edison. Modern tattoo machines use electromagnetic coils. The first coil machine was patented by Thomas Riley in London, 1891 using a single coil. The first twin coil machine, the predecessor of the modern configuration, was invented by another Englishman, Alfred Charles South of London, in 1899. 11/5/2007 8:34 AM |

TATAK DUGONG PILIPINO Jimmy Formas: ang tattoong pilipino ay isa sa pinakamatandang sining ng ating mga ninuno pinag-mulan na minana natin hanggang ngayon sa makabagong henerasyon.subalit ano nga ang ibig sabihin ng tattoo sa ngayon.bakit napakaraming ipinagbabawal lalong-lalo na sa paghahanap ng trabaho.marami ang nawalan ng pag asang umangat sa buhay ang kanilang antas ng pakikisama dahil sa taglay ng nigatibong pananaw na ang tattoo daw ay nag mula sa loob ng kulungan o isang addict ang gumagawa nito. subalit ito ay isa pinaka sensitibong gawain ng sining na dinaan sa mahabang prosiso.upang tiisin ang sakit na ang dulot ng karayom sa bawat tusok ng karayom ang sakit na dala nito ay tiniti-is ng isang costumers bago makita ang na-ibigang desinyo na gustong ipalagay nito sa katawan.upang dalhin ito sa panghabang buhay hanggang sa kabilang buhay.marami ang nag-mamaronong sa ganitong gawain subalit ang kanilang kaalaman ay di sapat.sapagkat maraming pa silang dapat malaman bago mag-husga sa kanilang kaunting nalalaman tungkol saganitong gawain.ibat ibang opinion kritiko.sino nga ba ang makapagsasabi kung san nag mula ang ganitong sining at sino ang unang taong gumawa nito.kahit na ang mga mananaliksik seyentipiko ay walang kaalaman sa ganitong gawain.ang arte ay hindi masama kung ito ay di ginagamit sa masama.ito ay kinabilangan ng highly skilled artist na kung tawagin natin ay fine body artist.mahalin natin ang kinagisnang kultura ng ating mundo at ipagmamalaki natin ito sa man tayo mapunta bilang dugong pilipino at sumasabay sa ikot ng mundo.ang isang kamangmangan ay hindi makuha ng isa tao kung ito ay pag-aaralan at itindihin ang bawat nagaganap sa nakaraan at kasalukuyan hindi masama ang maging marunong subalit ilagay ito sa tama at ituro sa wastong paraan.upang marating ang nais ipatid. mabuhay ang pilipino saan man dako sa mundo na mayroong tattoo. 11/5/2007 8:36 AM |
