Tattoo – this is a body ornament, made by the skin puncturing and coloring.

The styles of modern painting and design can be conventionally divided into the following directions;

• Traditional tattoo; military, clannish (serves to indicate the belonging to a particular group), memorable (a portrait, family members’ images, certain people), professional, patriotic and so on and so forth. Including accompanying inscriptions.
• Ethnic tattoo – this one is base on the fine arts and ornamental culture of the world’s peoples.
• Oriental – is based on the traditional Chinese and Japanese tattoos.
• Flora and fauna.
• Biomechanical - cyber-punk, or a new school found by G.R. Giger.
• All sorts of styles, tendencies, inscriptions, signs, symbols – this depends on the tattoo master and the collector fantasy.

Remember to pay right attention to the process of regeneration. Irregular care (or it absence) may lead to inflation, which is undesirable itself and can influence the result as well: Chinese or Indian ink fades, disappear, by the way the master will see at once how his work regenerated. Ink producers may give a warranty of brightness for 15 years, but every one should remember that ink on the skin is an organic dye subjected to the fading on the sun, and remember to take proper care of a new tattoo – bathing, do not forget to protect your tattoo with special creams.

As soon as the tattoo is done a special compress is made for 12-24 hours. When it’s removed a special and important moment comes – proper care of a new tattoo. It’s important not just to make but to save it and this is your trouble however. The term of any tattoo closing up is about 7-10 days.

These days you should avoid:

• Water your tattoo
• Steam it out (in the sauna)
• Scratch it
• Rub it with alcohol-containing solution
• Watch the tattoo not to dry up and cover ( the master will recommend you special creams and the ways they should be used)
• Go to solarium
• Dirt the tattoo (dust for example)
• Go to the gym
• Before and after the very process of making the tattoo it’s forbidden to drink alcohol, coffee or any energy drinks
• Drugs are strictly forbidden

In Thailand for example tattoos do serve not only for mere decoration. This is a serious business. Many people here believe that tattoos may give them special power- something from being more attractive to being more powerful and even harmless. You should also look after your tattoo very carefully and with proper respect, as thoroughly as you will take care of an amulet. For the tattoo to bring about more power you should choose properly both the tattoo master and an ornament.

Find Here interesting Facts About Chinese Tattoos

There are lots of sense variations of tattoos and sometimes it may be very difficult to understand the message given by the tattoo owner. Primitively all the tattoos, which you may see on the bodies all over the world, may be divided into several groups: the first serve to rational purposes, the second should be observed from the aesthetic point of view. The tattoos of the first group – criminal symbols and the signs of distinction, military, navy and professional signs – they all reflect the person’s profession and make him look original and outstanding, noticeable especially for those who is let into conspiracy. Textual tattoos may be refer to this group as well. Concerning memorable, patriotic, religious, historical and mysterious symbols – they serve for ornament mostly in aesthetic purposes. Any kind of tattoo al in all emphasizes its owner character.

Chinese tattoos have always been very popular. Earlier such symbols were used by mafia and criminal elements – today they become popular among law-abide citizens as well. People like Chinese tattoos irrespective of their meaning.

In the choice of a symbol its aesthetic nature seems to be one of the main criteria – Chinese tattoos are the mere embodiment of this requirement. Usually choosing a tattoo hieroglyph a person pays attention to its meaning, to find that which will be somehow relevant to any history of a tattoo owner. Unfortunately for this very reason tattoos with hieroglyph or any other Chinese symbols may go out of date – for a person changes as the time passes, his interests and outlook may vary, As the result the decision to make such a tattoo should be well-considered, it won’t do any bad to consult a person who is an expert in Chinese symbolic and culture.

More frequently people choose hieroglyphs with neutral meaning such as “love” or “strength” for example.

Chinese Dragon

In Chinese culture Dragon stands for strength and enigma, mystery. This powerful mythical creature is associated with kindness and wisdom.

There are several varieties of dragon imaging: sky dragon dwells in the heavens and helps the gods, earth dragon is the master of the world, spiritual dragon – is the master of wind and rain, dragon-custodian observes precious stones and metals, winged dragon - is the only one who has wings, coiling dragon dwells in the ocean, yellow dragon has the broadest outlook.

In Eastern mythology and astrology all the psychotypes images are built on the certain types of animals. All in this world is changeable, there is nothing too stable and only nature gives each live being its own distinctive features, which no one is able to change. The tiger will never eat grass, and the hare will never become a predator.

Earl Threatens US Coast After Hitting Caribbean

Earl Threatens US Coast After Hitting Caribbean

Hurricane Earl, now a powerful Category 4 storm, barreled toward the U.S. coast early Tuesday after battering tiny islands across the northeastern Caribbean with heavy rain and winds that damaged homes and toppled power lines.

Earl is forecast to potentially brush the U.S. East Coast late Thursday, before curving back out to sea, potentially swiping New England or far-eastern Canada. The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned coastal residents from North Carolina to Maine to watch the storm closely.

“Any small shift in the track could dramatically alter whether it makes landfall or whether it remains over the open ocean,” said Wallace Hogsett, a meteorologist at the center. “I can’t urge enough to just stay tuned.”

In the Caribbean, Earl caused flooding in low-lying areas and damaged homes on islands including Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla and St. Maarten. Several countries and territories reported power outages. Cruise ships were diverted and flights canceled across the region.

The storm’s center passed just north of the British Virgin Islands on Monday afternoon. By nighttime, the hurricane was pulling away from the Caribbean, but heavy downpours still threatened to cause flash floods and mudslides in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by drenching already saturated ground.


The Hurricane Center said it was too early to say what effect Earl would have in the U.S., but warned it could at least kick up dangerous rip currents. A surfer died in Florida and a Maryland swimmer had been missing since Saturday in waves spawned by former Hurricane Danielle, which weakened to a tropical storm Monday far out in the north Atlantic.

Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Earl’s approach ought to serve as a reminder for Atlantic coastal states to update their evacuation plans.

“It wouldn’t take much to have the storm come ashore somewhere on the coast,” Fugate said. “The message is for everyone to pay attention.”
