“Tattoo pattern is artwork with rich poetry, It can not only bring strong visual pleasure, also because it is stabbing into the skin of fresh body, so for human being who is not immortal, it expressed the strong desire of aeon” – V. Will & Andery. Junor <Modern Primitive>
The tattoo here we are talking about is different with traditional tattoo, nowadays tattoo is no more exclusive of the bottom class of the society or some special occupation, tattoo was approached by middle class people long ago. Different classes of the society have all accepted tattoo with modern meaning,
and due to the improvement on its professionalism and artistry, tattoo gradually got rid of the binding relationship with the bottom class of the society.
Nowadays tattoo is in some way a kind of spiritual art, like Yoga and Jungian therapy, it can be a tool
of self-improvement, for example, some patterns is derived from new philosophy theory and religious concept. From of the aspect of anthropology, tattoo is one of the few things in the world that people of different races, from different places and in different times, will spontaneously do and meanwhile it embodies the idiosyncrasy of human being, it naturally exists in different cultures.
Along with the origin of human civilization, different areas of the world all have its own history of tattoo development. Different races, terrains, social environments formed different styles and categories of tattoo: plain tattoo, aesthetic artistic tattoo, identity tattoo, punk tattoo, moto rider’s tattoo, tribe tattoo, Indian tattoo, Celtic tattoo, religion tattoo, Asia tattoo, prison tattoo, etc. All of these tattoos symbolized the culture and historical factors of the tattoo group, as well as the wish of people.
Nowadays, the tattoo lovers believe “Tattoo makes me different from others”, “Tattoo is the mirror of soul”, “This is a feeling of freedom”, “This can make me manage my skin better”, or “being a modern primitive”. Female tattoo lovers regard tattoo as “the sign of female independence”
Thus we can temporarily divide tattoo into the following categories:
A way to express individual character. It can be the sign for treason, for cynicism, evil and violence. Mysterious pattern is regarded as amulet, it can be talismanic, and make people stronger and different from others. The un-naturalization of body, getting more freedom, creativity, unique, spirituality and thus it is an important method to realize self-ego.To manifest individual valuation and judgment, embody the sensation during the tattooing process, the tattoo (sensation) will be kept there forever, to memorialize the important things in life and motivate oneself as a kind of energy, these are tattoos with stories.
As a kind of modern art, with the artistic expression of tattoo artists who has accepted high level education, tattoo becomes a kind of integrated body decoration.
As a kind of ancient art, contemporarily tattoo has been understood and accepted by more and more people. Misunderstanding of tattoo is gradually fading out from people’s mind, this has positive effect on the inherit of tattoo art. As professional tattoo studio, we wishes more and more people could genuinely enter the world the tattoo art, feel the special ablution brought by this old technique to heart.
