Horse Tattoo

Horse tattoos are one of the more common tattoo types, partly due to the affection that many people have for horses (teenage girls in particular) and partly due to the qualities that are associated with horses.

In particular, horses are considered to represent strength, freedom, loyalty, sexual virility and good luck.

Common formats for horse tattoos include head only, full body, outline and abstract. The recent increased interest in things celtic has also resulted in celtic style designs, a variety of which can be found online for horses.

Somewhat less common is to see multiple horses (such as mother and foal). One can also find designs that include famous people, including religious icons such as Saint George slaying a dragon while mounted.

The choice of design depends on personal preference and the message that one wants to communicate. For example, men tend to choose stallions due to the associations of strength and sexual virility, while girls and women tend to choose more feminine topics such as foals.

Aside from the choice of subject and design, there are the normal considerations to take into account, in particular safety.

It is best to use a professional and registered artist, working out of a proper studio, as they are more likely to be trained in how to prevent disease transmission (by needles and associated items) and will have the necessary equipment (such as an autoclave) to property sterilize equipment.

One also needs to take care of the tattoo until the skin has healed in order to prevent infection. In the event of a rash or itching, one should see a doctor to make sure that there are no problems, such as allergic reactions to the ink or possible infection.

Tattoo Artist Nigel Kurt - The Best in the UK

Nigel Kurt started his tattooing career in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. He opened his own studio, Fun House Tattoos in Barnsley in 1993. Nigel is well known for his black and grey work and has won many awards over the years.

A tattoo artist from South Yorkshire has been named Best UK Male by the UK Tattoo Industry.

Barnsley tattoo artist Nigel Kurt, who has run Fun House Tattoos since 1993, said he was "chuffed" when presented with the award on 15 May in Liverpool.

Mr Kurt said he did not like tattoos when he was younger but he changed his mind after seeing the work of American tattoo artist Jack Rudy.

"He more-or-less invented portrait in tattoos," he said.

Mr Kurt specialises in photorealism, creating tattoos to look like pencil drawings, using black and grey inks.

His work ranges from colour tattoos of well known characters, including ITV's Coronation Street character Hilda Ogden, through to people requesting a drawing of their loved ones - including parents, children and pets.

Mr Kurt who has worked in the industry for 20 years has had many requests for tattoos but there are some areas of the body he will not work on.

"We don't tattoo faces and we don't do hands either. If someone comes in with something that won't make a nice tattoo, we won't do it."

The shop has seen a rise in inquiries since body art became popular with celebrities, including pop star Cheryl Cole and footballer, David Beckham.

"Every week we get at least one or two people coming into the shop asking for copies of David Beckham's tattoos," said Mr Kurt.

"There are hundreds of people walking around with copies of celebrity tattoos."

Despite receiving the award, Mr Kurt said it would not change him.

"Once I stand out that shop I'm just a slightly scruffy man walking down the street," he said.

Goldfish Tattoo

Some people just find a fascination with an animal species, and feel the need to have it tattooed on their body while others may have a spiritual connection with the animal.

The goldfish is considered to be a classical Chinese symbolism to represent gold, wealth, abundance, and harmony.

It is one among the eight sacred symbols of the Buddha where they represent fertility, abundance and harmony with the flow of life.

Ancient Greeks believed goldfish enhanced good luck in marriage and relationships. In ancient Egypt goldfish were kept in the house as a lucky omen for the family and helped cheer up domestic situations.

They invite wealth, prosperity, and harmonious movement, especially in business and personal affairs.
