The Old And Bizarre History Of Tattoos

How many tattoos do you have?

The old style colored ink had metals in it that people can be allergic to. Modern color doesn’t have the ingredients responsible for all the reactions but it still does have a lot more than black ink wich is just carbon. I never really liked full color tattoos or the way they heal over time so this along with the list of ingredients is why I stick to just black ink.

Tattoos are sooo sexy 😍 😏

JESUS LOVES YOU ALL ❤

👍

Yeah I was told not to swim for 3 weeks after getting a tattoo. Aftercare is important.

I have way to many tattoos. Me personally I regret most of my ink

I hate tattoos. I think the body is naturally beautiful

Maybe say the whole word next time?

The word tattoo is derived from the polynesian word tatau meaning tattoo

Back in the days, pigs and roosters where transported in wooden cages on ships. When the ship sank those cages would float, and the animals often survived. Thats why sailors got pigs and roosters tattooed to prevent drowning

Once again religion ruins everything

I have four tattoos and have never been in trouble with the law and am a Christian.

Trendy ink is shit.

por que no dejan subtitulos en español ?

For those of you who don’t know, the PIG and ROOSTER were kept in wooden cages on the ship so if it even went down they would usually survive every wreck, so they use them as luck of sorts

Lucky Diamond Rich Tattooed me 😃

I was told by one of my teachers when I was studying traditional Chinese medicine that tattoos and body piercing interfere with the channels that run through the body. I hate tattoos on females make them look rough, cheap, nasty.

When the ships of old were sunk, often the pig and chicken pens would stay afloat. That’s why they were seen as good omens against drowning for sailors. Boouie...

the pig and the rooster come from the olden times when livestock was shipped across the sea by boat, the crates that held pigs and roosters always seemed to float if they ever went overboard or the event of a shipwreck

Tattoos have likely been around for as long as humans have existed.

There's no difference between a man or a woman getting tattoos, I only think that woman's have a more beautiful body than man, they look to me more delicate, while they're young, the tattoos are fine, but as they get older, so are the tattoos, and a woman with a beautiful body should keep it nice and clean, but that's my opinion only

"The amature ink they get behind bars" you do realize that litterelly the best tattoos in the world come from prison do you? Some of the worst tatoos ive ever seen come from shops lol

Showing was Autzi ewwwwwwwww

WTF? NICE TRY

The reson for the pig & rooster, is the livestock would typically not go down with the ship. In some case's, their shipping containers where buoyant enough to float. In other's, it was just as likely that the critters wanted to live enough, they'd swim "and ore" find floating debris to cling to. I only know this, because I knew some old sailors. They liked to talk & tell stories. I like practical answers, thier explanation checks out.

The real issue anytime you inject something in your body is hepatitis

Ok is it uncommon to get relaxing from tattoos . I got my legs done completely. And fall asleep when getting them . I know I heard it from the woman with me that I'm wired . Just didn't know if this happens to anyone else? My artist is great. I prefer woman to tattoo me . I think they are softer ar it and pay attention to detail more .

My granddad has an anchor as a tattoo on his arm. He was in the dutch navy when he was younger

Although I love the beautiful art of tattoos, I hate when beautiful woman’s marks themselves from head to toes, I find it nasty 🤢 but bear in mind that I love the art but not in my body lol 😂

I plan on getting two sleeve tattoos. One sea themed, the other Nintendo themed.

i want to like but they're at 666

Im heavily tattooed with a clean criminal record

See mummy's got tattoos and I get treated like a junkie for having mine.

Teardrops under the eye are confirmed lills.

The church I went to as a teenager said god would only be okay with faith-based tattoos

For a second I thought that might be John Belushi’s grandma in the thumbnail. The eyebrow and the nose lol.

They do nothing for me. Money can be used for a better purpose.

Just got number 82

This makes me want to get more tattoos

Goodnight man, when Paul said he bears in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus he probably was refering to the scars from beatings and stoneings he suffered

I have many tattoos and I am not finished yet 😎

No one cares about this topic.

In my country (Philippines),got a tribe called "pintados", but that occurred documentation during Spanish invasion.

Bizarre? Tattoos have a long history of importance in many cultures. Its pretty insulting to them to say bizarre. Could have just said the interesting history of tattoos

Hey let me tell you if you don't know already...that laser hurts a hell of a lot worse than the needle! Feels like lighting a rubber band on fire and snapping yourself repeatedly in the taint.
