Since the beginning of the days, tattoos have been present in man’s daily life, they have gone from being classified as magic healing talismans to be placed on areas of the body affected by some terrible evil, to being part of rituals of bravery for being considered a step from childhood to adulthood. Tattoos have always marked the existence of the human being.

Although in the era of Christianity they were banned and considered a kind of satanic act, over the years they took up their rise again for being considered an irreverent means to express a message to the rest of the world. At the time of the 60’s tattoos under hippies’ leadership arrived with a waste of color transforming that negative stigma that still exists for many people, who considered tattoos as a low way of drawing attention, in a colorful cry with a message.

Depending on the place of the body in which the tattoo is made, as well as the size, color and even the shape of it, a message is transmitted and at the same time a little of the personality of its wearer can be seen. Currently many artists and athletes proudly wear different designs on their bodies, some with decorative intentions, others with sentimental reasons, as a tribute to loved ones. They go from being small phrases to detailed drawings, as well as abstract figures that enclose a feeling in their reason.

Tattoo artists are compared to great painters in Picasso or Dalí style, due to their impeccable techniques and their masterful commitment to each of their works, no matter the size or place to perform, they give every drop of passion in their creation. If we go a bit to the “psychology of the tattoo”, people who decide to tattoo on the neck and face denote rebelliousness and are characterized by being very outgoing and friendly people, who say what they think without any filter and feel free.

Tattooing on the back and chest speaks of the strength and courage of the person, her courage in facing the various situations that arise during her life and the motivation to continue despite adversity. On the other hand, tattoos on the ankles and calves define balanced people who know how and when to act, it is easy for them to make correct decisions at the right time. Those who have lower back as well as the belly tattooed, are mysterious and sexy people, they dare to reinvent themselves with the passage of time, their north is the constant change and they keep positive before him.

The human being needs to express himself and from the first moment he has found a way to do it, today it is easy to understand that tattoos go hand in hand with that artistic way of establishing who we are, what we want and the way we want it. Some have large designs tattooed on backs and breasts, others delicate and tiny messages on wrists and fingers, while some people prefer phrases on their forearms and calves. But at the point of convergence all agree that it is an original and personal way to convey to the world their true.
