Body piercing has seen a resurgence of interest in the last ten to
twenty years and are becoming more and more a part of the mainstream
Western culture. Take a look at any fashion or entertainment magazine
and you’ll see plenty of well-known celebrities with body piercing
like navel rings or a labret. You might be surprised to find out that
piercing is actually an ancient form of expression that most cultures
have practiced at some time or other for thousands of years.
Egyptian body piercing reflected status and love of beauty
The earliest known mummified remains of a human that was pierced is
over 5,000 years old. This worthy gentleman had his ears pierced with
larger-gauge plugs in his ears, so plugs may be one of the oldest
forms of body modification there is! We also know that the Egyptians
loved to adorn themselves elaborately, and even restricted certain
types of body piercing to the royal family. In fact, only pharaoh
himself could have his navel pierced. Any one else who tried to get a
belly button ring could be executed. (Tell that to Britney Spears!)
Almost every well-to-do Egyptian wore earrings, though, to display
their wealth and accent their beauty. Elaborate enameled and gold
earrings frequently portrayed items in nature such as lotus blossoms.
We often get asked by people "Why would I want to get a custom
tattoo design online instead of at my local tattoo parlor". Many
people feel more comfortable at their local parlor and are worried
about getting custom tattoo design online. People for a variety of
reasons are still worried about purchasing things online. We fully
understand the reasoning behind this thinking. However getting a
custom tattoo design done online has many benefits over getting one
done at your local tattoo shop.
Most local tattoo shops have two or three tattoo artists at the
most. So when you go to your local shop and ask them to design a
custom tattoo for you often are limited to only the two artists or so
that work at that parlor. Sure this is okay but if you think about it
only two artists is pretty limiting. Each tattoo artist has their own
unique style it is after all. So you are limited to getting the look
and feel of the tattoos artists that work in the shop.
However when you post a job for a custom tattoo design online you
will frequently have 5 or more artists all bidding to do the work for
you. Having more artists means you are more likely to find a tattoo
artists that better fits with the style of tattoo design that you are
looking for. Further more as we all know when people compete for your
business you get better quality at a lower price. Furthermore online
tattoo artists often earn a great deal of their income from custom
online tattoo design work and therefore they are eager to make sure
you are happy. They also have a great deal of experience in the custom
tattoo deign area where at your local tattoo parlor they might not.
After getting a custom tattoo design done you can often leave feedback
about the work and the artist. You can choose to leave either positive
or negative feedback and this ensures that the online tattoo artists
will work hard to get the perfect design for you and make sure that
you are happy with the product so that you will eave them positive
feedback on the site.
Whereas with your local tattoo parlor the artist doesn't have to
compete for your business with other artists and often will not work
as hard to please you with the design.
All of these factors help in getting the perfect custom tattoo
design of your dreams.
