People love to get a tattoo printed on any part of their body. Hand tattoo, naval tattoo and the back are the common areas endorsing this form of art. History stands as evidence of the viability of tattoos. Although it was well known everywhere but the Europeans had special charm.

European sailors were known to tattoo the crucifixion on their backs to prevent flogging as a punishment. Some Europeans referred to this art as the behavior of the royals. Tattoos were also placed on animals for their adoration. Certain parts of their body were also tattooed to (like nose) prevent them from sunburn. Such tattoos are performed by veterinarians and the animals are anaesthetized to prevent pain.

The trend is famous all over especially in North America, Japan, china and many of the European Countries. The Hawaiians place images of tattoo gods in the temples of tattoo priest. Before they start up with the tattoo making session they offer prayers to their god, so that the whole procedure does not cause any causality, that the wounds of tattoo are fast healed and finally you have beautiful tattoo designed on your body. The Americans are also supposed to believe in tattoo gods. They thought that they would get a tattoo on their body, only when the god tells them the right time. So there are many histories behind tattoo design. Though the myths are very much prevalent till date, tattoo designing is fast gaining popularity.

The tribal way of tattoo designing involves incarnation of the design into skin directly then filling in the cut area with ink, ashes or other agents. Traditional japans tattoos (irezumi) are still ‘hand-poked’ i.e. the design made on the skin with the help of sharp needles of bamboo or steel is filled with ink. However, today an electric machine is used to have the tattoo design printed. The machine has an oscillating unit provided with a number of sharp needles. The ink is first inserted into the skin and then the machine moves the needles in and out of the skin at a speed of about 50 to 30,000 times a minute. You can very well feel the pain by the numbers.
