Heart Tattoos ,Heart Mom Tattoo

Heart tattoos, just like star tattoos, have always been popular, and we usually associate them with the old school Sailor Jerry flash type of tattooing. The heart symbol can have a lot of meanings, the most obvious one being Love...

Here’s the typical scenario:

A couple, wanting to express undying love for one another, get matching heart tattoos with each other’s names written across the heart image, perhaps on a sort of banner. Flames or roses may be used to further embellish the heart tattoo image.
A few years later, when the couple go their separate ways, each is left with an indelible reminder – and a dilemma regarding what to do with it. Some people opt to get their heart tattoo designs filled in, to obscure the name – others opt for tattoo removal.

 

Still others decide that it’s part of their history, they’ll just have to live with. In any case, heart tattoos and love tattoos have been the cause of embarrassment and regret ;-)

Heart Mom Tattoo

The combination of heart tattoos and names started in the beginning of the 20th century when sailors wore red heart tattoos with the word Mom in the center. Later, during World War II, soldiers wore heart tattoos with the name of their girlfriend or wife. In both cases they acted as a kind of lucky charm.

 

 

 

Besides love, the heart as a symbol has other meanings as well:

• The soul: people used to believe that the heart is the location of the human soul.
• In many religions, the heart has a mystical importance. Christians believe it is the seat of emotions (more particularly love) and Islam sees the heart as the spiritual centre.
• In Ancient Egypt myths, the heart was weighed against the feather of Ma'at (the ancient Egyptian goddess of truth).

The heart symbol as we know it

Where the actual shape of the heart symbol comes from is another matter. It doesn't really look like a human heart, more like a cow's heart (historically, people saw a lot more cow hearts than human hearts). The heart shape as we know it probably comes from the shape of the female buttocks or breasts. It could also be a stylized depiction of two people kissing.

The heart is such a powerful and universal symbol that it’s unlikely heart tattoos will ever disappear entirely.

Heart Tattoo Designs

Nowadays, the symbol has become considerably more versatile, with less potential for embarrassment and there is a big variety of tattoo designs:

• The Tribal Heart: a heart tattoo done in simple black lines, with no names mentioned – is timeless and classy. There are many varieties of tribal heart tattoos. More about tribal tattoos...
• The Sacred Heart Tattoo : the sacred heart is usually depicted as a flaming heart surrounded by thorns. This Christian symbol stands for the heart of Jesus Christ and the divine love for humanity. Sacred heart tattoos express the wearer's devotion to Jesus Christ.
  
• The Pierced Heart Tattoo : a heart pierced by an arrow stands for romantic love. Cupid (a cherub) shoots people to make them fall in love.
• Rose Heart Tattoos: hearts and roses are an obvious combination, both being a symbol of love. More about Rose Tattoos...
• The Broken Heart Tattoo : usually signifies the loss of someone or unreciprocated love.
  
• Bleeding Heart Tattoo: has the same meaning as broken heart tattoos.
• The Claddagh Heart: the Claddagh is a beautiful symbol that comes from 17th century Ireland. You many have seen the more common ring version, but the images translate very well into tattoo art. The Claddagh heart is a composition consisting of a heart with a hand on either side, and a crown on top of it. The hands denote friendship, the heart love, and the crown loyalty. Women in Ireland would wear the Claddagh ring in their right hand with the heart facing outward when they were ‘available’, then turn it inward when they were betrothed. A Claddagh ring on the left hand means that the woman is happily married. More about Irish Tattoos...
• The "Realistic" Heart: some heart tattoos display a more realistic human heart, complete with veins. This certainly adds some ‘edge’ to heart tattoo designs...
  
• The Celtic Heart Tattoo: aka the love knot tattoo. The Celtic heart tattoo stands for a union of souls. More about Celtic Tattoos
  
• Heart with Wings Tattoos: a heart tattoo with wings may have several meanings: perhaps love has ‘flown away’, or a loved one has died. On the other hand, it could also mean that one is a "free spirit".
  
• The Heart and Dagger Tattoo: a heart and dagger tattoo can mean lost love or betrayal.
  
• The Heart Lock Tattoo: the heart and lock stand for eternal love. Usually partners have a matching tattoo: one has the lock, the other one the key.
  

In short, heart tattoos are unusually eloquent and expressive tattoo images, which accounts for their continued popularity despite the fact that they are sometimes considered ‘cheesy’ or overly sentimental!

Female Tattoos

Female tattoos – or tattoos that are feminine in design, and are usually favored by women or girls – are becoming more and more common.

For the first fifty or sixty years after tattooing became commonplace and even mainstream in modern society, few women got tattoos – in fact, those that did were the exception and usually a touch eccentric or rebellious.

All that changed about twenty years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so the female tattoo became more common and acceptable. Nowadays most people find female tattoos sexy and attractive, they certainly aren't offensive anymore.

That having been said it’s still true that more men than women get tattoos and it’s even true that there is a little element of social rebellion inherent in a woman’s decision to get a tattoo, although this is less and less the case, tattoos are more like a fashion item these days.

However, female ink is no longer shocking, and we no longer jump to conclusions about a woman’s moral character based on whether or not she has a few tattoos!

top 10 of popular tattoo spots for women and girls

Here's the top 10 of popular tattoo spots for women and girls:

1. Lower back: lower back female tattoos are very popular for several reasons. First, it's a very feminine and sexy spot to have a tattoo. It doesn't usually show, but can be ‘flashed’ as the woman bends over. Catching a glimpse of a lower back tattoo on a woman, you almost get the feeling that you’re seeing something you shouldn't be – very tantalizing!
   
   Lately, lower back tattoos are called "tramp stamps" by some because so many women and girls have a tattoo there. Don't let this put you off though, if you think your lower back is the perfect place for your tattoo, then by all means, go ahead. Getting a lower back tattoo because it is fashionable is not a very good idea though. More lower back tattoos...
2. The inside of the wrist: this is a good place for a tattoo, it can easily be covered up by wearing a watch or a bracelet.
   
3. Just above the ankle: the ankles are another popular tattoo place, very feminine. ,Also easy to cover up if you want to, by wearing socks, and not so problematic as foot tattoos. Ankle tattoos are usually small and can be very cute – just a nice accent for the ankle and foot.
4. The feet: foot tattoos are getting more and more popular these days. Keep in mind that tattoos on the feet need more care and don't last as long as tattoos on other places. Learn more about them here: Foot Tattoos Pros and Cons
   
5. Back of the neck: very nice spot to have a tattoo in my opinion and one of the less painful places.
6. On the back, near the shoulder : also a popular spot. The left shoulder is traditionally the feminine side. Shoulder tattoos are a great accent when you’re wearing a tank top or halter top in the summer.
7. The upper arm: very common place to have a tattoo, for women as well as men.
   
8. In the pubic area: just below the panty line, above the v, very sexy.
9. The hip: only shows when you're in your underwear or wearing a bikini.
10. The calves: a tattoo on the calves is usually a large one.

I personally think it's a good idea to have a tattoo on a place that you can cover up, especially when your work environment is kind of conservative. Places that are easy to hide include:

• Above the ankles
• On your feet
• The hips
• The back of the shoulders
• Just below the panty line
• The inner wrist

Keep in mind when choosing a tattoo spot, that some areas of your body will stretch when you get older. This is especially the case after having children. Places sensitive to stretching are your stomach, your breasts and your bum.

Little Known Tattoo Facts

Tattooing has been used for many different purposes through the ages. It has not only been seen as a way of decorating one’s body, but as a means of protection against evil, as a way of identifying oneself, and even at one point as a way of sending secret messages during war. Here are some little known facts about the history of tattooing.
In 1991, the 5000 year-old frozen body of a Bronze Age hunter was found in a glacier between Austria and Italy. His body bore several tattoos. Nicknamed Özti, the iceman was so well preserved that you can make out a number of tattoos. These included a cross on the inside of the left knee, six straight lines 15 cm above the kidneys and a series of parallel lines on the ankles. These seem to correlate to acupuncture points.

The 5th century BC Greek historian, Herodotus, tells of a Histiaeus of Miletus, who, imprisoned by King Darius of Susa, sent a tattooed secret message to his son-in-law. He shaved his slave’s hair off and tattooed the message on his scalp. The slave was told that the procedure would cure his failing eyesight. When the hair had grown back sufficiently to hide the tattoo, he was sent off, had his head shaved again so his message could be read and remained as blind as ever. The message instructed the son in law to begin a rebellion.hair off and tattooed the message on his scalp. The slave was told that the procedure would cure his failing eyesight. When the hair had grown back sufficiently to hide the tattoo, he was sent off, had his head shaved again so his message could be read and remained as blind as ever. The message instructed the son in law to begin a rebellion.

King Harold II of England had a number of tattoos. After his death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, his tattoos were used to identify his body.
Many other royals throughout history have been tattooed. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, had a Jerusalem Cross tattooed on his arm on a visit to the Holy Land. When his sons, the Duke of Clarence and the Duke of York (later King George V) visited Japan in 1882 they both had dragons tattooed on their arms. Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and Nicholas II of Imperial Russia all had tattoos. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination sparked the First World War, was also tattooed.
The word ‘tattoo’ is derived from the Tahitian word ‘tatau’, meaning to mark. The word ‘tattaw’ first appeared in Captain Cook’s first voyage accounts, which appeared in 1769. It has been suggested that ‘tatau’ is an onomatopoeic word. ‘Tat’ refers to tapping the tattooing instrument into the skin; ‘au’ to the cry of pain from the person being tattooed.

Winston Churchill’s mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, had a snake tattooed on her wrist. It was fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for aristocrats, including women, to be tattooed. Tattooing was very expensive initially but as the costs were reduced, the lower classes took it up and the practice fell out of favour with the social elite. The position of Lady Churchill’s tattoo meant that she could cover it by wearing a bracelet.

Archive for 'Tattoo Artists'

Not everyone can become a tattoo artist. Raw talent is needed in order to create magnificent art works and execute them perfectly on one’s body. Spiro Kambitsis of Houston Texas definitely has it; his amazing works reflect the love and passion he has for his craft. Check out our interview with him and some of the tattoos he has done.

1) How long have you been a tattoo artist? Why did you decide to become one?
Tattooing found me, plain and simple. Once I was offered an apprenticeship, It just felt right to take the path in life less traveled. I never went looking for an apprenticeship as most do these days. Hell, I barely knew what tattooing was back then. I was offered the chance, I took it ran with it, and never looked back. How this all took place is definitely a story in its own.

 

2) What tattoo designs do you specialize in, if any?

I seek people wanting to get tattoos outside of the norm. I market mainly to people wanting bigger pieces. I tend to render my services to people who want very surrealistic tattoos. I always have loved exaggeration, and exaggerated objects. I think coming from a background like mine, I always looked at things differently. I also am well versed in most forms of work as well.

3) Based on your experience, what are the top 5 commontattoo designs that men and women go for nowadays? What’s the latest tattoo trend?

I think all trends come and go.Trends within tattooing will definitely do that. There are some trends that will never go away, such as, butterfly, heart, star,small names, etc. All though getting tattooed seems like a trend to some people, I think it will always be here, as it has made a very big effect on people. Tattoos are here to stay.

4) What are the top 5 tattoo locations (body parts) that people go for these days?

I think people in general are starting to get everywhere tattooed on the body. Most common are the arm, chest, back, ankle, and hip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5) Name 3 of your most favorite works and why.

I really do not have any favorites, I just make the work to be interpreted by others. Take it for what you will.

6) Where do you get inspirations for the tattoo artwork that you do?

I mainly pull inspiration from dreams and thoughts. I usually pull them from a dark place within my mind. I usually will get what I call a “vision” for something, and it will literally haunt my mind until I unleash it to the world. I feel my work flows through me, and finally ends up in one form or another. I am attracted to creating subjects that can easily be recognized, but are usually in ironic positions. I like morphing stuff as well. To see the usual in unusual places so to speak. Although I enjoy looking at other tattoo artists work, I tend to not pay too much attention to it, as I do not want to rip off peoples work. I do my own thing.
