Lizard Tattoo Designs - The Sneaky Lizard Technique For Weeding Out Incredible Tattoo Art

Those who have been searching high and low for lizard tattoo designs online can attest to the fact that it's becoming ridiculously hard to bump across dependable gallery sites. I'm so amazed at the obscene number of boring artworks being exhibited by these poorly designed sites and they are just too many of them right now thereby effectively making the use of normal search engines redundant. I mean, who wants to waste their valuable time going over tons of bland drawings while clicking left and right all day long. Truth be told, it'll take you days, maybe weeks to sift the good sites from the crappy ones. Surely this is not the most conducive way of finding attractive lizard tattoo designs.

Look, I 'm going to show you another means of picking out gallery sites that present lizard tattoo designs that are hand-drawn by professional tattoo artists. Believe it or not, those bland gallery sites that appear in the first 50 pages or so of the search engine listings carry plenty of tattoo prints that are conceived using graphics application. That's why 95% percent of their prints are lacking in the creative department. A lot of creations were created by simply scanning stock images and then 'artificially' turned it into drawings using image manipulation technique. Well crafted lizard tattoo designs are not conceived in that fashion, no way!

Okay, now let's zero in on the meat. I coined my method as "the sneaky lizard technique" because well it's pretty sneaky as not many people are using this effective search process. Simply head over to a couple of tattoo message boards and just browse through the topics made by passionate board members. Most of them live and breathe tattoos and they are always putting out links in the resource section where message board lurkers such as you and I may benefit from. Since the owners of these message boards are so passionate about this topic, they won't allow members to display links to sites that contain generic sites that are loaded with eye numbing lizard tattoo designs.

Now what if the online message board of your choice has no resource section? No problemo. Look at the top or bottom of the site. See the search button there? Use it to find whatever information you wish. For instance, you can put in "lizard tattoo designs" in the search entry field and a goldmine of information pertaining to your query will surface in an instant. All thanks to those passionate board members! So use this sneaky lizard tactic and save yourself the headache of dealing with countless of generic tattoo galleries today.

Egyptian Cat Tattoos

Egyptian cat tattoos have a long history and can be found throughout history for thousands of years. In this article, I'm going to cover some of the historical significance of Egyptian cat tattoos and also provide information you need in order to help you choose the right Egyptian cacti to free you.

Over 5000 years ago, the Egyptians began to worship cats as powerful "totem animals", or spiritual protectors. Over time, they began to represent many different aspects of life for the ancient Egyptians. The cat was a symbol of the feminine principle, as well as fertility and motherhood. Also, they consider that the cat was a powerful symbol for the moon.

In the Book Of The Dead, cats are mentioned as a protector against evil gods and spirits. Following this, you often find statues of cats wearing jewellry, or even mummified cats buried in tombs alongside their owners.

So revered was the cats in ancient Egypt that the exporting of cats outside the country was strictly forbidden, and killing a cat would result in an instant death penalty.

It is arguable that the Egyptians took this too far. During a war with the Persians, the Persians kidnapped and hostage thousands of cats, demanding immediate surrender in return the lives of the kitties. Rather than tempt punishment from the gods, the Egyptians immediately capitulated and surrendered their lands to the Persians.

After thousands of years of unending adoration, the fortune of the cat changed in 400 BC, when the population was forbidden from worshipping cats. Since then, cats returned to their status as domesticated animals in Egypt.

However, the air of mystique and spirituality has never left the cat and even today, cats are considered mystical, magical animals.

An Egyptian cat tattoo is a great way of showing your individuality, as well as letting the world know that you have a spiritual mystical side. They also look very exotic, and while they are very traditional they also have a real new-age luck to them.

The Popularity of Dragonfly Tattoo Designs

So what's so special about the dragonfly anyway? And what is it about dragonfly tattoo designs that makes so many people run out and get them?

For one, the dragonfly is an icon of the realm of fantasy. And dragonfly tattoo designs might conjure up images of fairies and wizards, dragons and their slayers. The tattoo itself may or may not include these elements, and looks sophisticated on a slender ankle. People may get them on their shadows and backs as well, and you are most likely to find dragonfly tattoo designs on a female.

Dragonflies are flitting up everywhere in a variety of colors such as blue, green, violet, pink, silver or gold. While they began as a passing fad, dragonfly tattoo designs are now here to stay. And they are appearing everywhere, on all parts of the body.

To learn more about why dragonfly tattoo designs are so popular, you want to look at an actual dragonfly to find our more about its significance. Though at first it may just look like a cute piece of parlor flash, the dragonfly is an important symbol of change, though not as well regarded as its cousin the butterfly.

The dragonfly begins as an egg that is laid in water. At this stage, it still isn't a dragonfly, but is known as a nymph. A nymph is a popular character in the fantasy world, so you can see the connection between that world and dragonfly tattoo designs. As a nymph, the dragonfly tends to be an ugly creature with a large jaw to find food and small wings, as they don't need them yet.

Dragonflies may stay in the nymph stage for up to three years. When the process is over, the nymph climbs out of the water and the change begins. During this time, which seems very painful, the nymph's entire skin splits down the middle and the new dragonfly emerges. After a couple of days the beautiful colors that dragonflies are known for emerge. So, as you can see, dragonfly tattoo designs can also be a symbol for change.

So if you are looking for a pretty tattoo that symbolizes change, wisdom, and other associations, check out the dragonfly. And even though dragonfly tattoo designs were popularized by females, they can be sported by men too. Their beautiful bodies and fluttering wings can inspire your creativity or symbolize your spiritual struggle to become a whole person. Don't limit yourself to a design because it's too popular or "girly." Plenty of men wear dragonfly tattoos, and its simple design can manifest itself in any color, on any part of your body. Unlimit yourself.

Facts You Should Know About Tarantulas Before Getting a Tarantula Tattoo Design, This Will Help You

Today it seems that less and less people are afraid of tarantulas. With so many exotic animals now being kept as pets, it's no wonder tarantula tattoo designs are becoming so popular.

Though tarantula tattoo designs might be popular there are still a few things to keep in mind when choosing a species and design.

The thing about tarantulas is that when you see them, no matter what your thoughts are somehow they are intriguing.. They look massive and they have large bodies but this isn't putting people off of them, many people are now collecting tarantulas as pets. Now it does seem strange to people that tarantulas are becoming the new pet, but they are!

Tarantulas are not as common as dogs and cats, but take the Mexican red knee tarantula and Chilean rose, they are the most popular species of pets today. Because of the popularity of the Mexican red knee tarantula, many people over caught the species in the wild causing this species to be on the endangered list of tarantulas, and in some countries you now need to keep a permit for them. They are extremely rare now to find in the wild.

The name of tarantulas comes from the doctor known too many as Kircher, that is doctor Kircher. He helped people who had caught a disease or thought they were bitten by a tarantula in a small village in Italy. It was during this time, that he helped people by offering them advice on how to get rid of this fever they thought the bite of the spider caused.

Kircher who was a doctor back then depicts the region populated by the spider, and gives two drawings, the underside and top. So if you saw people dancing madly in the streets or in their homes back then, you could make two assumptions, the one that they were already sick or two that they thought or perhaps had been bitten by the tarantula, how unfortunate to have to dance until you were delirious i would rather have taken the bite then dance until i felt as if i had been bitten by the spider

So this was thought where this word originated from though, there are plenty of misconceptions none the less is, this is the reason we use this word tarantula as it is today.

As mentioned the Mexican red knee tarantula is very popular, so if you would like something that is not so well known you could go for the gooty ornamental.The tree dwelling species such as the pink toe bird eating spider has bottle green legs and then also has pink toes which truly are pink.

For a tarantula tattoo design you can imagine there are hundreds of designs to choose from you could go for the Chilean rose species, though they are just as common as the Mexican red knee tarantula. Another great looking species is the Costa Rican zebra which has brilliant markings. The Indian ornamentals are now also becoming popular and they are great looking species for a tattoo.

They get quite large and they seem to be tattooed quite often now, so you might want to choose one of these tarantulas for your new tarantula tattoo design.

The Piaroa Indians say the tarantula has some mystical power; they also eat tarantulas, as well as have tarantula omlets by squeezing out the abdomen and heating it up through thick banana leaves.

If you would like to add meaning to this design, then you could use the design as a way of guidance through life's struggles. One thing you should know is that there is no such thing as a venomous tarantula that is able to kill a man. The only reason or one of the reasons people were scared of these spiders was due to their size and never the amount of venom they had.

Frog Tattoos Are Fun, Cute and Quirky

Frog tattoos are highly symbolic but also really cute and funny. They are normally displayed as armbands, on the lower back, ankles, shoulders, upper back, chest etc. Frog tattoos are discovered all over the world. Tree frog tattoos are ideal for a young person's first type of body art.

Frogs have an extremely sensitive skin on it's body which is thought to be magical. Frog woman was considered as the guardian of fresh water, and it was thought to protect humans from flood or thirst by making and manipulating a dam to control the waters for the maximum benefit. Frogs are often a symbol of harmony, regeneration and life. Frogs have always been associated with magic as in the Princess kissing a frog and turning him into a Prince.

The Frog symbol is a popular tattoo design that cuts across many cultures. The frog is usually seen as a teacher, as a guide to understanding supernatural powers and also as a mentor. You will find that in many cultures, the frog is associated with the ability to jump from one state of consciousness to another. Frog tattoos are one of the most magical and oldest form which stands for metamorphosis, regeneration and which gives new instructions in one's life.

Many of the native Americans consider the frog to be the 'Great Rain Maker'. With the last snowfall of spring the snowflakes touching the ground would turn into frogs announcing that the salmon would soon arrive. The frog tattoo is associated with water and the moon which is a symbol of fertility, prosperity and wealth for the coastal tribes in North America. The characteristics naturally possessed by the frogs have made humankind revere these delightful little creatures. Many Native American tribes believe that the frog brings rain and a good number of modern Christians wear a frog symbol due to the acronym Forever Rely On God.

In fact, frogs have a great amount of symbolism behind them. In ancient Egypt for instance, the frog was thought to be a protector and a guide to the afterlife. The Iban assume that having a frog tattoo on the throat will protect the warrior from having his head cut off in battle. And they also believe that their ancestors live in the body of the frogs to be close to their loved ones.

For these and many other reasons, frog tattoos are gaining rapidly in popularity. Frogs that are depicted as tribal tattoos or as Celtic tattoos are very popular. Frog tattoos may not be as widely sought out as some other tattoo designs, but this may very well be a good thing as you are certain to make a unique statement with this piece. Frog tattoos are as varied and different as the many species of frogs that they visually represent.

Frog tattoos also can represent the brilliance and color of the natural world. They may be made with a plain outline, or you can let your imagination run wild with bright, bold colors and more intricate designs. Frogs can be combined with flowers, vines, water lilies and more. Poisonous frogs may add something of an edge to these tattoos, and may be used as a symbol of the personality of its wearer - beautiful yet untouchable!

Some people may prefer a more cartoon like depiction for their frog tattoos. These pieces often show the frog in a crouching position with a cute, dopey, or sometimes even a sarcastic look on it's face. Many cartoon frog tattoos show the creature with its tongue poised for flicking at flies, or sitting peacefully in a pond on a water lily. Tribal and Aztec frog tattoos are also an interesting twist on this design.

Flower and Butterfly Tattoos - A Gorgeous Combination

Flower and butterfly tattoos work well together. If you could only stand for one thing, what would it be? Your tattoo is a reflection of your thoughts and your beliefs. To come up with a tattoo that is uniquely you, you want to ask yourself, if I could pick only one symbol to express myself what would it be. If you can't come up with just one, that's fine, you may find that you're a blend of a couple different symbols because you have a blend of a couple different personalities. Let your tattoo express that. You can combine different tattoos to come up with your true expression.

There are two elements in nature that are used to express a lot of different meanings through tattoos - flowers and butterflies.

There is an enormous choice of flower tattoo designs available. Flower tattoos are very flexible. Not only are there hundreds of different flowers but each has a symbolic meaning which can give you a number of ways to show your true self to the world. If you combine two different flowers together, you are not only mixing different colors but different symbols to capture a unique feeling. Do a little research on the meaning of flowers so you can be sure of the statement you are making to the world with your tattoo.

Butterfly tattoos can symbolize so many things. Everyone knows how a caterpillar changes into a beautiful butterfly, only to live for a short time. A butterfly tattoo can symbolize a new beginning or embarking on a new adventure. It can also express the fragility of life.

You can add two different flowers together or two different butterflies and have a great tattoo. But when you add a flower and a butterfly together, you open up a whole new world of possibilities. Not much is prettier than a picture of a butterfly about to land and taste the sweet nectar of a flower.

Women with beautiful tattoos are often considered to be more confident, more feminine and more attractive. It is hard to find a more sensual being than a woman with a flower and butterfly tattoo placed just so you can see it on the shoulder, lower back or ankle.
