Body Art Forms

Tattooing as body art is a practice that is becoming more and more popular but really it has been around for a very long time. In many cultures, whole body tattooing was done in intricate gorgeous designs. The Japanese culture especially is known for tattooing beautiful scenes across the back and down the arms. There are images of waves, villages, koi fish and beautiful gardens. A true art form.

Many of the other ancient cultures used tattooing as body art also, but it really was not until recently that tattooing beautiful scenes across the body really began to explode as an art form in its own right. A spin off of this is body art painting. I suppose the difference would come in that the paint can be removed and a different design put in its place. Obviously, tattoos are permanent, so you need to do your research and get the best tattoo design and tattoo artist you can afford.
