FAMOUS TATTOO QUOTES:

Primitive tribes were certainly convinced that the spirit, having escaped from the body at death, retained a replica of its earthly tenement. They therefore used tattoo marks as a means of identification in the next world and a passport to future happiness. (Ronald Scutt, Art, Sex and Symbol, 1974, p. 63)


"I wanted some decoration. See, the one on my wrist is for everybody; the one on my tit is for me and my friends. Just a little treat for the boys, like icing on the cake." - Janis Joplin

The tattoo attracts and also repels precisely because it is different.
~Margo DeMello


I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I'm thinking, okay, here's a gal who's capable of making a decision she'll regret in the future.
~Richard Jeni

There is no "underground" community, no dark den of drunken sailors initiating themselves into manhood via cheap, ill-conceived exercises in bodily perforation; it's just a group of people who delight in using their bodies as billboards. ~Joanne McCubrey, "Walking Art: Tattoos," Mountain Democrat Weekend magazine, 9 February 1990

Artistic Koi Fish Tattoo Design

Koi fish make for a wonderful tattoo. Their beautiful colors and the symbolism behind them make for a great choice in tattoos. In Japan koi fish can always be found in a pond at almost every temple and major shrine.
They are seen to be peaceful and very meditative as well as good luck. Yet, the symbolism does not end their. The Koi fish is believed to swim back up stream against the current and therefore is believed to be a very strong animal.
This has lead to a symbolic connection between the fish and strength. So Koi fish make a wonderful tattoo that can easily represent good luck, strength and power. They are typically depicted with water splashing behind them and twisting or jumping out of the water making for a very dynamic and beautifully color tattoo design.

RANDOM TATTOO QUOTE: In Tahiti, not all Europeans responded with the enthusiasm that had been exhibited by the British Admiralty's Captain James Cook, his Science Officer and Botanist, Sir Joseph Banks - who received a traditional Polynesian tattoo - and dozens of the ordinary sailors and seamen aboard Cook's ships. Missionaries who arrived in Tahiti at the end of the 18th century, turned tattooing from a standard practice into an embarrassing and punishable act of Paganism. King Pomare II was converted to Christianity in 1812 and he immediately put force behind a severe, regulated code that had been laid out by the missionaries. The death certificate for traditional tattoos was essentially signed in 1823 with the passage in the code that stated: "No one shall be tattooed and this practice should be completely abolished. This is an old and bad habit. Men or women who get tattooed will be judged and punished... The punishment for men will be work on ten measures of road for the first tattoo and 20 measures for the second tattoo... The punishment for women will be to make two big coats; one for the king and the other for the governor."
