Bridgitte Brigod Tattoo

I got my first tattoo when i was 16 in some crappy shop in Vegas and its of the milky way. A lot of people ask why i got it and i tell them basically when i was little one big nightly thing me and my dad would do was watch the stars and he'd always point out the milky way to me and id get so excited n say yup that's my favorite so i guess my first tattoo reminds me of my dad who plays a huge role in my life and were really close but my sleeve is a collaboration of Dr. Sues stories cat in the hat, Horton hears a who, green eggs and ham, and a few more. i just loved the books when i was little! apparently enough to tattoo.

Flower Designed Tattoos

Flowers have played an important part on symbolism throughout human history. From the various rose designs of noble houses of Europe, to the symbols of healing and emotion they evoke today, floral motifs have been popular forever. Flower designs have always been among the most popular choice for tattoos. And not only for women. Many men have used tattoo flower designs on their bodies, often incorporated into a larger, more complex design. Think 'Guns'n'Roses', or symbols of a dagger and blossom that many men wear.

Sometimes a design simply means a man is in love; he might have a violet or rose tattooed on him to remind him a girl he once knew called by that name. He may simply like flowers. Many flowers symbolise honour in different cultures. And some symbolise magic; the lotus blossom from instance, and in many Eastern cultures, the water lily.
Roses of course, are well known symbols of all sorts of deep and meaningful things, but there are other flower design; the forget-me-not for example, the yesterday-today-tomorrow bush. Cherry blossoms mean a lot in Japan and the lily of the valley has long been an important symbol in Europe. Then there are other tattoo flower designs you may wish to consider; sunflowers for example. Orchids are known for their evocation of the exotic. Many English country flowers are remembered for their connection to old healing remedies; lavender for example and also chamomile. Daffodils are the floral symbol for Wales. It was also once though that crocus plants could stave off illness and so they became associated with mysticism as well.
It's important, when selecting from a range of tattoo flower designs, that you select something that has meaning for you. Roses are common, so people avoid them now as they are not unique. However, if what you want to symbolise on your skin is best said to your own soul by a rose, then I wouldn't be swayed by this. They may be common, but they mean something very different to each person who selects one.

500 Design Tattoo

Many tattoos of the Twentieth Century have been based upon mythological creatures. Unlike the past centuries, the mythology behind many of the subjects of lore have become a lot more fantastic and alluring to people of all ages nowadays. Still, there are those few groups (I usually like to call Bible-pounders) that believe the entire ideas behind tattoos are Satanic and blasphemous. I will always say, "To each his own". That philosophy works with everything for me. Don't like the radio station? Change it! Not interested in what is being played on the television? Turn it off! Don't like tattoos? Don't get one! Geez, is this that difficult?

Have you ever read the true Grimm Fairy Tales? They certainly do not have the Walt Disney "G" ratings on the original versions of the stories! Take the fable of "Snow White." In the Disney ending, she and Prince Charming live happily ever after. However, the wicked stepmother in Grimm's fairy tales was brought before the couple on their wedding day. There - in front of the wedding revelers - it is written that the stepmother was forced to dance in iron shoes - heated upon a blazing fire - until she dropped dead from the ordeal! Hmm, I must have missed that part in the Disney version!
 Nevertheless, one can see how the beginnings of one myth or folklore can be changed over the centuries, to adapt to a more "G" rated crowd. The same can be said for certain designed tattoos. From the more arcane skulls and dragons, to the celestial fairies and hearts - the original meanings surrounding many of these designs have become more suitable to the owner of such tattoo art. Did you know that an ankle bracelet tattoo used to ward away the fear of drowning? On the other hand, some Native American tribes would etch markings upon their faces if they were hurting from something. (I.E. Chronic headache sufferers would tattoo their foreheads. Toothache victims would tattoo their cheeks.)
Whatever the reasons may have been, somewhere along the lines, hundreds - if not thousands - of designed tattoos have had their original meanings wiped clean, and were replaced with the more "G" rated idealisms of the Twentieth Century. I have two fairy tattoos, and they both are elegant, beautiful, nude wood nymphs. However, after a bit of research, I found that much fairy lore originated back to Ireland.
