Tribal Body

Anytime you go into a tattoo parlor, remember that you always have the right to ask an artist about their past. Sometimes people will cop seirous attitude with you over nothing. Some artists may do this because they may feel offended, or they could be jerks. If this is the case, go to another artist. Anyone who deserves your money will understand that you deserve respect. Cha ching. Hit em where it hurts-their pocketbook. You have the right to ask!

Even though tattooing is legal in Oklahoma now, I recommend going to Texas or Kansas to get a tattoo done. The artists there are more established, and they should have a stronger reputation within their geographic area. I think of it like this…….if someone has only been drawing for a few months, how good are they compared to someone who has been drawing for 6 years? Now when you apply the fact that their artwork will be there forever, who would you trust your skin with? Make sure that you investigate the person that is doing your body work.

Hello ladies and gents. My mother got a tattoo of my bothers name placed on her body. She has had it for the better part of 26 years, and she says that she absolutely hates it. The color on her tattoo has bled out onto her skin, and she cannot afford removal. She told me that when she did it, she was young and stupid. I guess we can all identify with that at one point or another. Before you get anything put onto your body, I strongly suggest that you evaluate the future ramifications of getting that image, and how much money it will take to keep up your investment.

I was browsing the net, and I found that bellly rings are actually being made for pregnant women. They are much longer than the actuall belly ring, and they seem to be made out of a fiberous material that is flexible instead of metal. I am not sure as to how safe the actual stomach ring is. I would have to recommend to any woman who considers wearing one of these stomach rings to consult a doctor before buying one.

To be completely honest, i am adding this post simply because i need it for a grade. I am freelancing at the moment.

Some days in this life are fairly ineresting. At times I wonder if I should get a bullseye tattooed on my ass. It would be a very obvious target that people could aim for. Maybe if I ever take up hunting, it would be a good excuse for someone who may misfire. Ever feel like your going through life with a big giant kick me sign on your back? Maybe you should get it tattooed.

This story is ture, believe it or not. One of my professors got a nose ring with her friends in Pakistan over a trip. All of them got nose rings but good ol M was the only one who had a terrible mishap with her piercing job. The piercer actually pierced through the cartilege in her nose, causing a huge infection. Yes the nose ring was plunged through this portion of her nose. She had to go back to the piercer, get the nose ring ripped out, and then she had to go through the whole process all over again.

Word to the wise, if something doesn’t feel right when you are getting holes put into your body, fix the problem as soon as you can.

For anyone who ever gets a nose ring, I recommend that you leave it in for more than two months before changing it out. When I took out my nose ring prematurely, it got infected and to be honest, the infection hurt more than the actual job of piercing my nose. I recommend using hydrogen pyroxide, and bactine on a regular basis. This should allow the nose ring to heal under better cirumstances. If you have a bad experience with the placement of your nose ring, you can always remove it, let it heal, and go back to get it redone.

This is the last official post that I am making on this Web site for a period of time. I hope that you enjoy the information on the Web site as much as I enjoyed posting it. If I have learned anything from this project, you should :

a)Never rush into doing anything permanent, whether it concerns your body or your character. If you ever add to either it should be an enhancement that you are proud of and satisfied with for life.

b) Never piss of Web masters and HTML gurus. In the world of making Web sites, it takes talent and effort that is unique to a select number of people. If you agitate their dots your net presence and hairline will suffer. (The big vein in your head may pop!)

c) Always keep in mind the unique perspectives of others. Life is about expression. Don’t ever let another hinder your right to be your own addition to this world.

d) You have to work with other people in life to get things done. Whether we all know it or not, we all will need something from those we work with at some point, whether it be understanding and empathy, or the sharing of knowledge and skills, we need others around us to accomplish our goals in harmony. We should all strive to give others what we would like for them to give us when we need to be successful.

Take care and enjoy the site. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at jade_cowgirlosu@yahoo.com. I will be happy to address any feedback. P.S. Cats and Dogs rule I love you Kharma and Shelly, you are my babies.

Hello ladies and gents,

Contemporary art has its place, but does it belong on a pig?

“Contemporary belgian artist Wim Delvoye tattoos shaved pigs in Beijing, China. He decorates them with smiling faces, Louis Vuitton logos and various words. Art collectors can buy the pigs and pay for their upkeep or purchase their tattooed skins after the pigs pass away, paying up to a few thousand dollars. “(google)

I am wondering if this is some form of animal cruelty or if it’s even art at all. I don’t really know what the artist is really saying. The idea of preserving the skin of the pigs after they die is crass in my opinion. Would you pay a few thousand dollars for one of these pigs?
Is the artists inspiration and designing even original? Can someone copying a fashion designer’s (also an artist) original copywrighted textile designs a form of pilagarism and fraud?
If ever you do choose to purchase a piece of art that costs a couple thousand dollars, make sure that some key words such as fraud don’t pop up in your evaluation of the piece. Hopefully no living beings will be involved in a long term way.

I also wonder, if the pigs are only valued for their skin, would their purchasers end their lives prematurely just for their skin? Unless someone eats the pig I think animal cruelty is subject in the situation.

For anyone who has a strong interest in Henna, these two videos explain the history of henna and bridal henna.
