Biomechanical tattoos: alien infestation

Image
Another popular choice for a biomechanical tattoo is the "alien infestation" theme. Sometimes, the mechanical components and the alien tissues can be combined in a single tattoo. The most common themes of the alien-biomechanical tattoos are: - an alien creature growing inside a human body, and aventually destroying the host's body (or eating the host body from the inside out) - alien creatures living inside someone's body, coexisting peacefully with the host (like Kauto, the mutant baby from Total Recall) - alien creatures whice are using the human body like a vehicle (those tattoos contain mechanical and robotic components along with the alien tissues) - aliens (strange) creatures hiding inside the human body; in this case, only small parts of the alien are visible - usually weird eyes staring from the depths of the host's body, claws and tentacles that seem to spring out. etc. - fusions between humans and aliens: usually a human being with an alien arm or leg

The cyborg tattoo (or robot tattoo) is one of the main themes of the biomechanical tattoos. The cyborg style tattoos present the internal human body as a mechanical structure, made up of a metal skeleton along with titanium tendons and various organs of the human body. Usually, the cyborg tattoos contain many other elements besides metal, such as wires, microchips and other similar compounds that could visually substitute bones, muscles and tendons. biomechanical tattoo on the calf a cyborg-style tatoo on the calf robotic forearm cyborg-style tattoo on the shoulder and arm biomechanical tattoo covering the chest, the shoulder and the entire arm biomechanical tattoo on the head, neck and shoulder 3D tattoo: a leather jacket covering a mechanical skeleton robotic components revealed under the torned skin a complex mechanism tattooed on the calf robot leg biomech tattoo on the back and shoulder robotic legs (Terminator style) biomech tattoo: blue wires connecting the foot and

Kautilya’s advice to his king

 Here are excerpts of a letter written by Kautilya to Emperor Chandragupta.   Kautilya discreetly but firmly reminded the king that his safety and security as well as of his empire depend on the trust and sacrifice of his soldiers.             “The Mauryan soldier does not the Royal treasuries enrich nor the Royal granaries fill. He does not carry out trade and commerce nor produce scholars, littérateurs, artistes, artisans, sculptors, architects, craftsmen, doctors and administrators. He does not build roads and ramparts nor dig wells and reservoirs. He does not do any of this directly.             “The soldier only and merely ensures that the tax, tribute and revenue collectors travel forth and return safely; that the farmer tills, harvests, stores and markets his produce unafraid of pillage; that the trader, merchant and financier function and travel across the length and breadth of the realm unmolested; that the savant, sculptor, maestro and mentor create works of art, literature,

Biomechanical art (also called Biomech) is a surrealistic style of art that combines elements of machines or alien tissues with human organics. Rendered with distinct realism, biomechanical art expresses an internal fantasy world, most typically represented with human or animal anatomy where bones and joints are replaced with metal pistons and gears, but infused with muscles and tendons. various biomechanical tattoos Biomechanical art was popularized in 1979 when Swiss artist H.R. Giger designed the alien creatures in Ridley Scott's Oscar winning movie Alien. After the popularity of Ridley Scott's 1979 movie Alien, tattoo artists began tattooing images taken directly from the movie, and from artist H.R. Giger's Necronomicon series. As the biomechanical tattoo art style became increasingly popular, tattoo artists such as Guy Aitchison and Aaron Cain began designing their own original, biomechanical art, creating one of tattoo's most popular contemporary tattoo art moveme

Sun and Moon Tattoos

Sun and moon joined together in a design symbolizes the union of opposites. Nearly in all the cultures throughout the world, the sun is a masculine figure and signifies strength and power. On the other hand, the moon is considered as a feminine figure and represents calmness and unflappability. The sun is the active principle whereas the moon is the passive principle. Therefore, the coming together of the sun and the moon is similar to that of the yin and yang or the good and the bad. As we find references of the sun deity in several ancient cultures, similarly, we also find references of moon worshipers, as the moon was considered a goddess. Sun and moon tattoos signify the basic principle of life, i.e., where there is good, there will also be bad. They also represent the fact that everything has a dark and a light side. Nothing in the world we have created is perfect. The essence of being human is the lack of perfection. Both these ideas occur simultaneously in everyone’s life and th
