Celtic tattoos

Image
Celts once covered a large area of Europe and had their own languages and culture, not to mention religion. The symbols they used in those days are incorporated into the highly popular Celtic tattoos used today. The Celts worshipped gods and goddesses, animals and the land, and as they were exposed more and more to Christianity, their symbols and shapes started to change into crosses and stars. One of the reasons for this adaptation was to avoid conflict with Christian beliefs. But, these adapted elements are what remains and what is most seen in traditional tattoos. Celtic Knot Patterns   Although many traditional Celtic designs are copied in tattoos, perhaps one of the most recognizable and coveted tattoo is the knot. Knots resemble interwoven vines and are arranged to form a particular shape, for example a heart, but their shape can be almost anything a person can think of, from circles to the more complex star shape. A Celtic knot also carries with it the symbolism recognizable...

Tattoo colors

Image
Here are some of the things that you should know about tattoo colors: Black: The best thing about black is that it does not fade over time. This is the main reason that many people choose to get their tattoos done entirely in black. Your tattoo will always be easy to see when you get it done in black, even if it does begin to fade over time. Keep in mind that gray, which is similar to black, will also remain brilliant over time. White One of the biggest problems with white tattoos is that they fade very quickly. Due to the sun, white tattoos often turn light brown or yellow in color. Many people also find that in comparison to other tattoo colors, white tends to be a much more painful option. The reason is because the tattoo artist  will need to penetrate somewhat further into the skin for the color to be visible. Pink and Red These two colors are known to fade much more gradually than other tattoo ink colors. Keep in mind that it is best to opt for a bright or dark pink if you wan...

Love in japanese

Image
One of the most popular phrases in any language is probably “I love you.” In Japanese, “love” is “ai (愛),” and the verb form “to love” is “aisuru (愛する).” “I love you” can be literally translated as “aishite imasu (愛しています)”. “Aishiteru (愛してる),” “aishiteru yo (愛してるよ)” or “aishiteru wa (愛してるわ, female speech)” is normally used in conversation. However, the Japanese don’t say “I love you” as often as Western people do, because of cultural differences. Ai tattoo There is another word to describe “love” which is “koi(恋).” The kanji character for “kokoro (心, heart)” is included as part of both kanji characters. Koi tattoo Both “ai (愛)” and “koi(恋)” can roughly be translated as “love” in English. However, they have a slightly different nuance. “Koi” is a love for the opposite sex, or a longing feeling for a specific person. It can be described as “romantic love” or “passionate love.” While “ai” has the same meaning as “koi,” it also has a definition of a general feeling of love. “Koi” can be se...

Are you aware of “Gift Registry”? If yes, do you think it is a good idea? Western concept is setting a new trend in India, imported by young NRIs and travelers abroad. Prospective brides and grooms tell their friends the gifts they want, not vocally, but through a wishlist in the form of invitation letters or e-invitations. The concept is known as gift registry, where as soon as the preparation for marriage begins a wishlist of gifts is also made and mailed to the guest with the invitation card. Are you one of the guests who would welcome “Gift registry”? The brides and grooms are mostly educated in the west and they found the concept of wishlist quite pragmatic and economical. Back in India, they tie up with individual shop which is equipped to handle this kind of traffic or websites that provide gift registry services, and make a wishlist of the items they wish to be gifted. The barcode of these items are mailed to the guests, who can choose a single gift or pool the money to o...
