The art to decorate yourself with tattoos is one of the most ancient and it exists for more than 6000 years. Tattoos appeared by accident: having noticed that after burns or cuts, in which soot or paint gets accidentally, fanciful and indelible pictures are left on the skin, people started to hurt themselves deliberately. In such a way tattoos have appeared.
Tattoo art started in Egypt and owing to numerous trade relations of Egypt with other countries tattoos soon appeared in Persia, Greece, Crete, etc. A tattoo served not only as a decoration, but as a sign of the tribe, showed the origin of a person, also a tattoo was used for a disguise and it was even endowed with magic force.
Today we are offered a great variety of pictures to make on the body. I personally don't have a tattoo, but a loyal friend of mine has several on his arms and back. He says that today it's possible to find a tattoo you like even through the Internet - in different online tattoo catalogues. Not long ago his girlfriend found in one of such catalogues an Egyptian tattoo she really liked, then she printed it and went to a good tattoo master, who made it on her shoulder. She remained satisfied.
My friend's girlfriend told me that far more convenient to find a tattoo on the Internet because it saves a lot of time. When she did her first tattoo she turned for help to a master and they spent about an hour looking through different pictures before she finally chose the one she liked. And certainly she was asked to pay for this hour, so looking through online catalogues of tattoos saves you money as well.
After I heard many stories and facts about tattoos from my friends and after I saw their tattoos I'm thinking over making a small pretty one on my loin. Yesterday I looked through tattoo designs on the Internet. I really like Celtic tattoos, but I haven't made up my mind to make it yet, I still hesitate.
