Tattoos With Meaning scorpion tattoos

Tattoos say a lot about the style and traits of a person. Different people like to get different tattoo designs that hold some symbolic significance to them. Most of the people go for the tattoos that either tell about the inner thoughts of a person or reflect their personality. However, some people also like to get various tattoo designs as a symbol of remembrance or inspiration.
Everyone likes to get tattoos with meaning. There are several meaningful tattoo designs available that can be inked by people. You can choose from various traditional designs that used to hold special meaning for various ancient people, religious tattoos that represent one’s faith and belief in a particular religion and any other tattoos that are liked by people for their certain significance. These meaningful designs hold different symbolic meanings to different people. The representation of a tattoo design is one of the main factors that most people like to research before inking it on the body.
So, if you are also looking for a meaningful tattoo design that you would like to ink on your skin, then you have come to the right place. In this article we have discussed some beautiful tattoos with different meanings that are represented through their designs.   




The symbol meaning of Scorpion,
The symbol meaning of Scorpion, much like its appearance, can be little foreboding. That is, if we do not have the inner eyes to see the beauty and complexity of its symbolism.

Below are a few facts on the symbol meaning for Scorpion along with some cultural history and background.

A summary of symbol meaning/associations for the Scorpion are as follows:

Transition, Death/Dying, Sex, Control, Solitary/Being, Alone, Treachery, Passion, Protection, Defensiveness

A potent message the Scorpion chooses to express is that of protection and/or isolation. In fact, they themselves are quite solitary - part of the reason why they symbolize In fact, many people with the Scorpion as their totem tend to have brief spells of passion with a partner only to end the relationship and spend long periods content to be alone.

The Scorpion will mate in an exotic, dance of passion and control. The Scorpion sexdance is one of beauty, control, and calculation.

The female allows her new offspring to ride on her back until they shed their first exoskeleton - then her offspring leaves her - all of them going off to their lone, solitary lives - another example of intensity in relationship followed by isolation.


Defensiveness/control/protection is evident in the Scorpion's appearance - which seems to say "Do not trifle with me." One look at this magnificent creature says "back off!" does it not?

As another symbol of protection - we can consider the venomous tip of the scorpion which numbs its prey as well as makes its prey chemically digestible for the Scorpion. Whether the Scorpion intends to eat the victim of its sting is irrelevant because its sting will most certainly protect the Scorpion in order for it to live another day.


In Samaria, the Scorpion is associated with the Sun, and ancient writings depict Scorpion-men guarding (protecting) sacred gateways leading to ascension, pleasure and enlightenment.

Death symbolism comes into play in Greco-Roman mythology where Artemis (Diana) used the Scorpion to sting Orion's foot, which caused his death. Afterwards, Zeus (Jupiter) made the Scorpion a zodiac sign among the stars.

There are some species where the venom is actually the antidote for its sting (like cobras). In Egypt and Tibet this is seen as an omen, and the Scorpion is made into an amulet - signifying protection and warding off evil. In Africa, the Scorpion is also seen as a healing sign - its venomous oil used for medicinal purposes.

Nipple Piercing Questions & Answers BY Lady Day

I received an overwhelming response and a lot more questions! I got many questions particularly about nipple piercings, so below are some detailed answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Combatting Shyness
If you are shy about presenting your nipple to a stranger, this is perfectly normal! Remember that your piercer is a professional and this is not a sexual thing. The less clothing you have to remove, the more comfortable you will probably be, so I would suggest wearing a button up top. This way, you only have to expose the nipple being pierced and keep everything else covered up.
The Pain Factor 
I have my nipples pierced, so I am speaking from experience. Getting them pierced was a breeze. I was only going to pierce one at a time, but the first one was so easy I told him to go ahead and do the other one, too. I'll admit, tho, that by then my endorphins had run down and the second one hurt a bit.





Endorphin's are wonderful little things. They race through your body, giving you the strength for the "fight or flight" response. They also help to minimize pain. It is a GOOD thing to have some fear and apprehension before getting pierced, because those little endorphins will kick in and help you fight any pain. That doesn't mean you won't feel it, but it will greatly minimize the discomfort.
Also, keep in mind that a piercing is over very quickly. Almost any of us could endure even the worst torture for one or two seconds. I promise, a piercing is nothing like torture!
Abnormal Nipple Shape
If your nipples are abnormally shaped, such as inverted or flat, it will be best to allow your piercer to determine if they can be pierced and what the effect will be. It's difficult to diagnose a condition without being able to see, so make an appointment with your piercer for a consultation.


Healing & Soreness
Now, once you are pierced, the healing process may be slow. This depends a lot on the size and weight of your breasts. Those with smaller breasts will actually have less problems than those with heavier breasts that can get caught in things through natural movement. You never realize how much pulling and squishing your nipples undergo every day until you get them pierced!
If your nipples are sore during the healing process, an ice pack can do wonders. If you don't have an ice pack, a package of small frozen vegetables like peas or corn works really well. Don't laugh! This is a highly recommended method of treatment for engorged breast-feeding mothers.
The less aggravation your piercing undergoes, the quicker the healing time will be. It should only take about 6-8 weeks. In my case, it took 6 months because my youngest daughter was still very small when I got mine pierced. She was climbing up on my lap one day and grabbed my nipple......ouch! This set the piercing back to the beginning as far as healing goes, so be careful!
If it's been many months and your nipples still haven't healed, you may have an allergy or sensitivity to the jewelry you are wearing. You also might be doing something to aggravate it without realizing it. It's best to see your piercer (or any professional piercer) and let them look at it so they can make an informed suggestion for healing.
Jewelry Rejection
Is a nipple piercing considered a surface piercing? And can it reject like a surface piercing? Technically, no. Although the nipple is similar to a surface piercing in that it enters and exits the skin in two different areas, it's not quite the same. The nipple is fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. But that doesn't mean a nipple piercing can't reject - especially if it's not done properly in the first place. If the jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing isn't deep enough to begin with, you run the risk of rejection. If you have an allergy to the metal, it could cause it to reject. If you have problems with infection and/or tug and pull on it too much, it could reject. Actually, almost any piercing falls under these rules - so make sure your piercer knows what they're doing and be extra dutiful about your aftercare!
To Bra or Not to Bra

Wearing a bra will actually feel BETTER - you may even want to sleep with it on. Sport bras provide the most comfort. The main important thing to remember is, if you are wearing a bra, don't allow moisture to build up. If you sweat, you'll want to change your bra frequently and cleanse your piercing before donning a new bra.
You will not need to change the size of your bra. The little ring isn't going to make that much difference and a snug bra will feel better during the healing process.
your piercing leaks a little fluid during the healing process, this is normal. If you don't want this fluid getting on your bra, you can buy nipple pads designed for breast feeding mothers. These pads are soft and disposable, and can create a barrier between your nipple and your bra.
Nipple Erection/Hardness
If you have heard about nipples staying hard (erect) once getting them pierced, that is not necessarily true. They may for a while, but once your body gets used to the piercing, your nipples will relax like normal. If you have flat nipples, piercing them can help to push them out a little bit, but that doesn't mean they will always stand erect.
Breast Feeding
If you plan to have a child and breastfeed in the future, you may wonder if you should get your nipples pierced at all. I've had people tell me they've heard all kinds of crazy rumors about breastfeeding with pierced nipples, but you only need to concern yourself with the facts. The facts are that in most cases, pierced nipples do not cause a problem when breastfeeding; in fact, some have found that it actually increases their milk flow (flow, not production), making it easier to nurse. Some nursing mothers say they even keep the jewelry in (including during feedings), although I personally do not recommend this. You need to carefully consider what goes into your child's mouth at all times, and a piercing can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It's much easier to keep it clean without the jewelry in place.
The decision is ultimately yours. You have to decide whether you want the piercing enough now, even if you may lose it later. Once you have a child, you will also have to decide if you are going to keep the jewelry in or remove it. Whatever decisions you make, it should be in the best interest of any future or present child. Nurturing your child through breastfeeding is one of the most important things you can do during the beginning of their life. Making sure that everything that enters their mouths and bodies during that time is clean and safe is also your responsibility.
So, unless you have a medical reason, getting your nipples pierced now and breastfeeding somewhere down the line should cause no complications. However, if you are currently pregnant or nursing, you will not be able to get any piercings until 6 weeks after the baby has been weaned.
Sensitivity & Arousal
Does having your nipples pierced make them more sensitive? Most women say yes! Does this mean you have to worry about walking around being aroused all the time? No. Especially once you get used to them, they will provide the most sensation when you want them to. If you're doing normal daily activities, you're not going to be walking around in a constant state of frustration!
Oh, and one more thing - tell your partner it's hands and mouth off for 2 weeks! Even if the piercing feels OK, it's not healed. Germs and bacteria can cause a painful infection, so you'll just have to find other ways to entertain yourselves. ;)
Lost Jewelry/Repiercing
If your jewelry falls out or comes out involuntarily, you need to see your piercer as quickly as possible to have it put back in. Nipple piercings, even healed ones, can close very quickly. However, if you try to put the jewelry back in yourself, it may feel like it's completely closed when it's not. Your piercer can use tapers and lubricant to ease the piercing back open without having to repierce - IF you get there fast enough (within 24 hours).
Once it has closed partially or fully, you're looking at a repiercing. Can it be done? Of course. Will it be hard to pierce through old scar tissue? A professional and experienced piercer will not pierce through scar tissue if it is avoidable - they will create a new hole through soft flesh. Your nipples will be at no more risk to cause difficulty with breastfeeding with second holes than they would with a single piercing.

UV TATTOOS AND INFORMATION



Colored UV ink looks exactly like a regular tattoo when seen in natural light. ... Neck beneath long hair: This is a fun place for a hidden tattoo of any kind.
While UV-responsive tattoos are still fairly rare (many people don’t want to bother with ink that’s almost never going to be seen), they can offer a unique way to accentuate a design or to get a tattoo in a highly visible area without having to worry about the potential social consequences it may carry. Here are a few creative and cool tattoos as seen under black light.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UV tattoos or blacklight tattoos are tattoos made with a special ink that is visible under an ultraviolet light (blacklight). Depending upon the ink, they can be nearly invisible in non-UV environments. Therefore they are a popular consideration for people seeking a subtler tattoo, and are particularly popular in the raver subculture.
Although the tattoos are sometimes considered invisible in normal light, scarring from the tattoo machine in the application process may remain, and therefore still show. A UV tattoo becomes visible under blacklight, when it glows in colors ranging from white to purple, depending on the ink chosen. Colored ink is also available, where the ink is visible in normal light (as with a regular tattoo) but the ink will glow vividly under UV light. However, some UV inks are not as bright under normal light as normal tattoo ink and are considered not as vibrant

No tattoo inks have ever been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration because the FDA "has not traditionally regulated tattoo inks or the pigments used in them".[1] Claims made that UV Tattoo Ink is "FDA Approved" when used for tattooing appear to be fraudulent; some UV-reactive tattoo inks may have been approved by the FDA for food-related purposes (such as marking food animals, like fish), but UV Tattoo Ink is also many times more expensive than regular tattoo inks. Some people have had reactions to ingredients in the ink, ranging from minor itching to dermatitis. Several UV inks are suspected carcinogens and allergens and at this time no research has been conducted into the side effects of long term exposure. Although many people who have received UV or black-light tattoos have had physical effects on the skin, any ink could cause a reaction. This can be a result of not protecting the tattoo from UV rays within 3 months of receiving the tattoo process or by using scented cremes or lotions on the tattoo area. This can damage the ink, causing it to become a normal ink color in all light. In time, it may also not glow in black lighting. /blue UV inks are known to yellow or turn slightly brown with sun exposure. Color/black UV inks are known to become colored in all lighting. Therefore, it might permanently appear as a regular tattoo.
Another disadvantage of UV tattoos is that some of them use magnetic ingredients. If the tattooed person ever later needs to have an MRI, the magnetic material can be displaced by the strong magnets of the MRI machine. Health care professionals are warned to use MRI with caution if the patient has UV tattoos.

Health care professionals are warned to use MRI with caution if the patient has UV tattoos. 

Application issues

UV inks are not as bright under normal light as normal tattoo inks, and do not blend during application, as normal inks do. Their effect will be dulled if regular ink is used on top of them. Therefore, for vibrant, high impact tattoos, normal ink is normally used, allowed to heal, and then highlighted with UV inks. Only highly experienced tattooists should apply UV tattoos, and should have a blacklight within arm's length of the tattoo chair. When applying white or clear UV ink, this blacklight should be turned on throughout the procedure.
UV inking takes a little bit longer than normal, due to UV inks being a little thinner and harder to work with, and because the tattoo must be wiped and checked under a blacklight frequently during application.
Also note that for non-colour based UV work, it is possible that outlines can become an issue. If the artist isn't careful, any ink or other materials they use to outline their design can become part of the work.This is not normally an issue with standard tattoos as normal colored ink covers this.However for fully hidden UV art, this can be a problem,

how to come with your own Meaningful Tattoo concepts Art Is Life Ink

 How to come  with your own Meaningful Tattoo concepts 

  ~Art Is Life Ink~

Get In Your Own Head


Imagine you had some horrible disease and you were given one week to live (morbid I know but work with me here). Where would you go? Who would you go with? Another mind game is if your house was on fire. What would you take out with you? Playing this game is an excellent way to strip down all the crap in our lives. All of the stuff that is just noise in our lives can get in the way of getting a meaningful tattoo. Looking at everything in your life decide for yourself what has lasting significant meaning, and find a way to incorporate that into a great tattoo. This is not as easy as it seems especially when you take the lasting part of that sentence into consideration.


Slow Your Roll

We have all heard the saying that good things come to those who wait. This is especially true for something that you carry with you for the rest of your life. It is practically impossible to get a wild hair one day and decide to get a tattoo and go that night and get one that has significant meaning. Most of the time the only exception to this is extraordinary life events i.e. you lose a child, your mother passes, etc. Slow down. Think about where you want the tattoo, what size you want it to be, and then check out some simple designs to get the ideas flowing.

Do A Test Drive

If you really are not sold on how you will feel about a specific design, or location, try test driving it. Print it out, use markers and recreate it where you think you want your tattoo. If you are like me, a 3 year old could draw better, so ask someone who has a passing amount of artistic talent to do it for you. If you are sure about the design but not the location, try temporary tattoos. This can be helpful as well if you want to make sure that you will be able to cover the tattoo for work and other special events.

How to Get Meaningful Tattoos – Don’ts

Lay Off the Bottle

Everyone loves to get a little crazy once in a while. I have been known to jump in swimming pools at 2 a.m. and not know whose idea it was. After a shot or three it is easy to mistake horrible ideas for the best thought you ever had. Remember Bald Brittany? Not her finest hour. We all do impulsive stuff sometimes, it is part of what makes life worth the ride right? But do you really want to explain to your mother why you have a naked man on your neck? If not, it is probably a good idea to stay out of the tattoo parlor when you're drinking.

Celebrity Head Shots Suck

I still remember a tattoo I saw about eight years ago. It was a head shot of Rosanne Barr. Do you remember her? Her sitcom went off the air in 1997! And as far as I can tell from TMZ and all the other gossip sites, she has done little else since. So please tell me why someone would want her face on their body? Did she impart some gem of unparalleled wisdom in her half hour sitcom that I missed as I looked over my New Kids on the Block sticker book? This is a classic case of someone forgetting the simple fact that tattoos are forever.

So Do Cartoon Characters

Just like sitcom actresses, cartoon characters will probably only be meaningful’ in your life for a short time. Imagine this. You are 30 years old, driving a minivan full of screaming kids, reaching out the window to pay for McDonalds to shut them up. Suddenly the cashier looks at your wrist and says, “That is the most awesome Minnie Mouse I have ever seen!” Yeah, no. It was much cooler at 18 when ole Minnie was the code word for the guy you and your best friends drooled over.
*Note: Ignore this if you plan on people calling you Daffy Duck until you kick the bucket.

Promote Nothing

Okay so you wear Nike’s every day of your life. You have tried other shoes and they just don't cuddle your little toes the way you like. So you stick with Nikes and you think Hey I should get a Nike swoop tattoo’! Um, maybe not. Are you getting paid to advertise? If someone isn't paying you – and even if they are – promotional tattoos for someone else’s dream is probably not meaningful to you. Feel free to ignore this if you invented Nike’s or their infamous swoop.

Declare No One

Unless you conceived them or they conceived you stay away from names. Parents or children are the only people in life that cannot change their relationship with you. Siblings fall into that category as well, but Angelina Jolie aside I am not sure anyone would want to go there. With a divorce rate that is out of this world why gamble when you don’t have to. Remember this is something that will stay with you until you are worm food. Spouses, partners, boyfriends, and girlfriends don’t always stick around. Ask Liz Taylor if you don’t believe me.

Which meaningful tattoo will you get?

There is no 1,2,3 formula for figuring out how to get meaningful tattoos. What has meaning for one person is meaningless to someone else. The crazy part is you could do the exact opposite of everything I have said here and come out with a piece that you love and wouldn't change for anything. Find what has meaning for you and then go for it!

here are some ideals concepts ~ please enjoy and share :)
