The Art Of Tattooing - Just Less Permanent
I have always thought tattoos were so fascinating - and I know that I will get one soon. But, since I don't have one yet, I was really pleased to find these great tattoo shirts at the Shelf Life T-Shirts : Tattoo T-Shirts Shop. These bold graphics just reached out and grabbed me. (And, the "Tattoos Inside" design is just funny!) So, until I get my own, I can make do with a shirt, and these are great gifts for folks that already have ink too!

What Exactly Is A Tattoo?
A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

This book isn't going to explain the technical aspects of tattooing - instead, it dives into explaining the tattoos themselves. It offers a brief history of the art, then goes deeper into the meanings of the tattoos within it's pages. Fascinating reading whether you have a tattoo already, are considering getting one, or just think that tattoos are a beautiful art form.
