Tattoo Pattern Biography
Source(google.com.pk)Buddhist Tattoos are a great and easy way to showcase your faith, beliefs and appreciation. There are many aspects of the Buddha tattoos, from Buddha’s eyes, lotus flower, the swastika and so on. While tattoos are more than just a design, no one ever gets a tattoo just because it’s pretty, everyone looks for the meaning behind them. Whether it’s a nice swirl design or an intricate design, there is a meaning to the person and that’s the whole point behind a tattoo. If you’re looking for a way to showcase Buddha then you’ll want to do your research first, you’ll want to pick the way that you most easily and spiritually relate. The meaning of the Buddha’s eyes stand for unity or wisdom, these tattoos tend to be widely popular because of the meaning that the eyes go four ways and there are four directions in life. Enlightenment, where you’ve reached full consciousness is another main point with Buddha’s eyes. The most popular though is considered to be the lotus flower. Lotus flowers aren’t only beautiful, easily customized and have the most meaning, the flower is reflective of the analogical meaning of human life. Many traditions believe that the water symbol stands for physical world or matter that dates back to the type of realm a person is born into and the flower symbolizes when the spirit has reached full freedom that the flower comes into play ass a sign of a spirit blossoming.
The swastika dates back to times long ago but the symbol holds a strong meaning to Buddhists. The symbol comes from the cross and how there is four sides centralized around one central point, much like with Buddha’s eyes. There is no good or bad direction with these sides. Check out these amazing and most unique displays below.
The fascination of skull tattoos for men is as old as the modern man can remember, or even older. The container of human intelligence, the organ in it, that nobody, not even today, with all our technology, cannot fully understand; this bone that, once a man dies, will preserve itself and still tell anthropologists a full story, is practically the Pandora box that contains all the truths of life and death. It is precisely because we have no idea what happens after we die, that the fascination for the skull is so great. A symbol of death, yes, but also a symbol of fate, as we are all born to eventually come to the same sad end.
The durability of the skull states that even though life passes, all things human pass, all that was imagined, lived, passed on by the one that lived will still be preserved in the generations to come. The sad message of death is intense, it reminds us every day of our feeble condition on this earth; it gives a good example of the perpetual tragedy of the human mortal condition. It is this very reason why it was praised in so many art creations, especially in paintings, and makes for a wonderfully scary, tough, but at the same time romantic and complex tattoo.
Check out these amazing and unique designs below, you’ll be left wondering if these are even tattoos! 3D adds more than depth, more than a great trend, but 3D tattoos are a great way to add your creative side and have people questioning if it’s a real tattoo or something you had designed. These types of tattoos are the most creative because think about it, who doesn’t want to have some sort of life like looking design jumping off of their skin?!Here is a next natural form of body modification, a 3D printed tattoo. Maria, a 23 year old girl from the Netherlands, printed her skin with a design made from stem cells. For her, two diagonal lines mean rebellion and one horizontal line means peace. For Maria, these three ambivalent lines represent the state of utopia.
During the London International Tattoo Convention, I interviewed Dr. De Jong who performed the operation. He was a tattoo artist until his 30s and has been trying to find a new form of self expression. He confidently said “Tattoo is a very ancient form of fashion and we need to use a new means to express ourselves. I am sure this 3D printed tattoo will soon be fashionable in Amsterdam and Tokyo and will spread across the world”.
This story is actually a fiction; the photo is from Ted Partin’s book Eyes Look Through You. But perhaps it is not entirely a fiction, but a fictional reality. Think about Stelarc’s Ear on Arm, or 3D printing technology branching out to bone, organs and skin. People already do astonishing things with their bodies. Why not 3D-printed modifications?
