If there was one majestic bird that captivated thousands of audience members of the Harry Potter books and movies; it was that of Professor Dumbledore's magnificent pet - the Phoenix. This bird, which is represented in many different cultures, can also be found in abundance of the backs of tattoo aficionados. Why on the back, I am not too sure, but it seems like the proper place for such an exuberant, mythical creature!

The phoenix of Egyptian mythology speaks of an ancient bird that cry was so soulful and beautiful that it could captivate humans in a purely magical way. The creature is said to have lived in the desert for 500 years before it would consume itself in a blaze of fire. Then, from its own ashes, it would be reborn to live another 500 years! As it flew through the skies above, it could leave a trail of fire, thus alerting all to its presence.

The phoenix of Chinese origin was composed much like other Chinese creatures - out of parts of other (more widely known and recognized) animals. It was said to have the head of a pheasant, a comb on top of its head (the red, floppy part of a rooster), the beak of a bird (specifically a swallow), the neck of a tortoise, and flame-like appendages (those appendages were similar to that of a common bird). It was an imaginary animal considered a bird of good luck and longevity. (Really, is there anything Chinese that is not considered THAT?!) The phoenix of China was meant to have several different colors of feathers. They were red, yellow, black, blue, and white. All colors contained the hidden virtues. Red stands for a long life and good luck; yellow is for protection against evil; black is for self-cultivation; blue is for knowledge; white is for peace and purity.

Koi Tattoos Designs A Symbol of Wisdom and Strength

Koi Tattoos Designs A Symbol of Wisdom

Although koi tattoos designs are popular due to its association with oriental (Japanese and Chinese) myths, it is gaining more attention from the western society due to its symbolical meaning. The koi is basically a symbol that represents perseverance during the time of adversity. It is perceived to be of strength in character and wisdom. It is also a symbol of longevity as koi fishes can live up to thirty years or for some lucky ones, up to 200 years. This character of longevity is further represented as perseverance and its color and form has charmed many artists.

Koi is a Japanese word for carp and has been a staple pet in still water ponds. They are very beautiful and their colors and designs are intricate.

The koi has long been a symbol of manhood and the strength of masculinity. It leaps and can even turn into a dragon based on legends. For Buddhists, the koi is significant as it represents fearlessness and braveness as it journeys through the ocean. Koi tattoos designs therefore can be a metaphor of a human being's struggle to exist on earth.

Koi Fish Tattoo - These kind of fish are a big surprise to the West part of the globe. The word "Koi", is Japanese for carp. Many ancient myths surround these awesome fish from the Asian hemisphere. Usually known as brightly colored fish that are often found in public ponds, the colors included here are: white, yellow, gold, and orange. There have been known beautiful specimens that have fetched prices in the half-million dollar range from private collectors around the world. However, the Koi is more than just a fish with beautiful colors, it is also one of the most popular and eye-catching Japanese tattoo symbols around. Even though Koi is Chinese in origin, the Koi is celebrated in Japan more than ever to this day.

It is said to climb waterfalls in a brave and honorable manner. Now, if it happens to get caught, it is said that it stays idle on the cutting board awaiting the slice of the knife without a shake, similar to a samurai (warrior) facing his doom from a sword.

Sleeve Tattoo Design Ideas

Well the last couple of posts have mostly been for the women out there. Correct me if I am wrong but it is about time for a more guy oriented tattoo post. So here goes. There is really nothing more manly then a full sleeve tattoo right? You know sleeve tattoo designs look great be it a half

sleeve, full sleeve, quarter sleeve they just look incredibly. The amount of detail and work that goes in to them shows a real commitment! Guys and people in general don’t get a full sleeve tattoo design unless they are pretty committed to it. It is not your typical first tattoo design or anything like that.

So we have been noticing this pretty hot and growing trend for Japanese sleeve tattoos. Of course for me having family that lives in Japan I have

always loved Japanese tattoo designs. The Japanese go about their tattooing art as seriously as they do everything else. It is really a lot of commitment and most of the traditional Japanese designs are not for the faint of heart. These are usually large massive designs for hardcore dudes! Not many are going to go out and get a full back piece with a samurai or a dragon or even a koi fish unless they know what they are doing! So suffice it to say I have always had an affinity for Japanese tattoo designs and especially the traditional designs. The ones where they try to imitate American designs just don’t do it for me.

At any rate the whole Japanese sleeve tattoos seems to be a growing trend among men. It is even catching on among women. I have seen a good number of women out there with a koi fish sleeve tattoo design even.

When you finally visit the tattoo parlor for your Koi fish tattoo you need to have a clear opinion of the color scheme you want the tattoo drawn in. A very popular color scheme is the time-honored Yen Yang design of black and white. For many of this classical arrangement is a little too conservative and tame and they prefer to choose another more vivid arrangement. For example if you have a dark or olive skin color it may be more appropriate to select a bright hue so the Koi fish tattoo is more noticeable. If you are wanting to go the more traditional style, you may want to choose one of the Koi's natural colors such as white, red, black, yellow or gold, or perhaps a mixture of those colors.

Ideally it is best to choose a color design that compliments your skin tone. As a suggestion, if you have yellowish tone in your skin it might be more appropriate to have a gold or yellow and red tattoo. If you have pink to your skin, black, white, red, or blue may be the best color selection for your Japanese Koi fish tattoo design.

Tribal and Classical Armband Tattoo

Tribal and Classical Armband Tattoo

In the past, the art of tattooing was already practiced, yet not as a body accessory. Tattoos, specifically armband tattoo designs, were used as identities of early people. Using tattoos, they were able to determine what culture you belonged and what culture you performed. Years have been past yet the art of tattooing was still present in this world. But this time, they were seen as trend or fashion.

In comparison with the past, tattoos are still used as identification. This time, they are use to identify one's personality and position in life. Although, not all have similar cultures and tradition, people reunite when it comes to tattoo perceptions. Of all the classes of tattoos, armband tattoo designs are said to be one of the most popular designs used by tattoo fanatics.

Tattoos can be placed in several parts of the body. For young men, upper arm is a common part to get tattooed. Even old men prefer to engrave tattoos on this part. According to them, the armband is one of the least painful areas to have a tattoo. In addition to that, the upper arm can be easily hidden when going to parties and formal places, usually by wearing jackets or long sleeve polo.

Armband Tattoo Fashion Trend Now

Armband Tattoo Fashion Trend Now

Tattoos were already practiced hundreds of years ago. Early men had tattoos because they perceive it as an art and even for deeper significance. They say that tattoo designs, specifically the armband tattoos give identification to our early people, determining which tribe they belong or what culture they perform.

As time evolves, tattoos were seen as a trend or fashion. But, a particular old significance may still have to live even up to this generation. Like before, tattoos are still used for identification. This time around, it identifies the status of a person or his or her position in the society. Although this kind of perception varies from place to place, culture to culture, and even varies upon the level of thinking of a man. Of course, men from different classes don't consistently perceive the same idea.

Since tattoos were already introduced long time ago, its existence appears to be an innovation and fashion experiment. This is to cope up with the high and fast improving arts in the market. Different designs of tattoos are made available so that people can choose which ever they would like. Tattoos are engraved in different parts of the body.

Cool Armband Tattoo Design

I have seen many armband tattoo designs in my lifetime, and I am not that old! Many times, they have been tribal, Celtic, or some significant design. Like have always said, the significance of a tattoo lies specifically with the bearer of the artwork. However, there is a bit more history that many armband presenters do not realize. Sure, it is very cool looking when you have some great, sexy biceps, but the underlying meaning have again been lost in translation.

Many people who have had even the smallest education of history, are aware of the sometimes-barbaric procedures used to thwart criminals from repeating offenses. In some countries like the Middle East and Africa, such practices are still utilized. If a man is caught and convicted of rape in the Middle East, two large rocks are used like cymbals to smash around his genitalia. Gives new meaning to The Clapper, doesn’t it? (Hmm – maybe the US should look into implementing that one. Oops, I digress.)

Cool Armband Tattoo Design

In the early 1700’s, the Japanese decided to rid themselves of such practices as amputation of ears, nose, and fingers, and instead adopted the idea to “mark” convicted criminals. for each offense, a ring tattoo of certain significance was etched around the offender’s arm. It was not until about 1870 that the tattooing of criminals was abolished in Japan. So, for all of those thinking about (or are already sporting one) armband tattoos, you may, once again, thank the worldwide penal facilities for the idea.

Although it seems tribal designs have overtaken the armband tattoo genre, there has been almost any character or creature imaginable that has been stretched out to entwine the upper bicep. Mystical creatures like dragons, fairies, and yes, I have seen a unicorn, make up just a few I have come across in recent years. In addition, the combinations of several subjects seem to make an even more interesting and intriguing armband. Lately, I did come across a man who had added skulls to stretched-out bones, perfecting a complex maze that – from far away – looked like the average, boring tribal armband. Up close, however, the artwork was astounding!
