Greek Tattoos For Girls

Do you think Greek tattoos are for the guys only? Well, think again because some of the best Greek tattoos are for girls. Not only are the designs great but they can be custom made by none other but you!

At one point in time, tattoos on a woman were not the "norm", and many women who had them covered them up when out in public. Thank goodness that in today's world we can have as much fun with tattoos as the guys can without being criticized.

Popular places for girls to get tattoos include the lower back, ankles, wrists, belly button, and the front of the hips. Greek tattoos for girls can be amazing and really stand out when custom designed instead of being just the old standard designs out of a parlor book. Let's look at what's popular and has a Greek history on top of it.

Butterflies

Butterflies are very popular and many people don't realize that they do in fact have Greek significance. The ancient Greek word for butterfly is "psyche" which means "soul". In Greek mythology, butterflies were associated with the human soul. They were considered to be the souls of those who had passed away, flying into the heavens.

The Greek God Eros married a human woman named Psyche. They are very often pictured together surrounded by beautiful butterflies. Greek tattoos for girls can include simple forms of butterflies or intricate designs that surround a figure or figures.

Angels

Greek tattoos for girls wouldn't be complete without a reference to angels. The word "angel" comes from the Greek term "angelos". Quite simply, angelos means messenger. In the Greek religion, an angelos was a divine messenger who relayed messages from the Gods to the humans. They were the intermediates between the Gods and us earthlings. Some of the Gods even had wings themselves and there is reference in some of the myths to humans who could fly.

The halo that Christians associate with angels actually originated in Greek times. The sun God Helios was depicted in many paintings with a halo. The image of the halo (or the golden light) has stuck and is generally associated with angels.

Angels can be used very simply by themselves or more elaborately if you choose. They look great when shown flying in a bundle of clouds or drifting elegantly down to earth. The possibilities are endless.

Both butterflies and angels make great Greek tattoos for girls. The secret to getting a tattoo that will stand out above the rest is to do some research yourself. Keep in mind that the designs that you see in a parlor are very basic. They are designed that way to get you in and out as fast as possible.

About 25% of people who get tattoos are disappointed with what they end up with. Don't let that happen to you. The best Greek Tattoos For Girls can be put together with your own ideas.

If you spend some time researching, downloading, and printing out designs, you will be able to develop the best design for your style. Then you can take the design to the parlor with you. Get some more ideas and print great downloads when you visit http://www.squidoo.com/Greek-Tattoo.

orion tattoos

What it is: The Aluminum Orion by Next Generation Tattoo Machines
What it's used for: Embedding pictures of skulls, dragons, and stars in human skin.

Its lightweight frame is perfectly balanced for an artist's hand. Good thing, given that its reciprocating needles punch millimeter-deep inky holes into skin at up to 1,000 stabs a minute. Tattoo machines (only lowly "scratchers" call them "guns") have evolved considerably since Thomas Edison invented the tech, which he used to make stencils for printing. Today, the most advanced models are produced by eminent tattooists who often design the parts using computer-based fabrication tools and then assemble the pieces by hand. The $300, 5.6-ounce Orion comes from Jason Guy, 35, of Moreno Valley, California. He uses two reduced-size electro magnetic coils to impel the needles, and a steel leaf spring to yank them back. With its compact coils and aircraft-aluminum frame, Orion is one of the lightest rigs available — yet it's powerful enough to drive 15 needles at once for heavy shading. Next!

Tattoo's are so personal and powerful because it is permanent and inextricably linked with its wearer. Tattoo art is more than just a fashion. It greatly depends upon the matter of persons liking and disliking. Tattoo art is varied, ranging from basic images to intricate creations. No one knows exactly when or where the first tattoo artist created his work, but we do know that some of the earliest mummies found in Asia and Europe have tattoos.

Tattoo art has always fascinated the human imagination. Tattoos were primarily used to indicate status instead of decorative purposes. Tattoo art is still considered a lower-class macho symbol, traditionally practiced among yakuza (gangsters) and construction workers. Tattoos now adorn the bodies of attorneys, doctors, teachers, politicians and even members of the clergy, a fact that only further demonstrates the acceptance tattoos are experiencing.

Tattoos have become very much a part of the mainstream, but then there are still a few who can really turn a head or in some cases, with some absolutely crazy tattoos. It all comes down to freedom of expression and some people like to show theirs through 'Tattoo Art free'. The Tattoo industry has exploded in recent years and has almost a cult following. Being seen on rock stars and Film stars alike. Being ultra cool.
