Lizard Tattoos are popular tattoo designs both for men and women. They can be inked small and large as well, and in many styles, like realistic, cartoonish, simplistic, tribal and so on. Lizards have been highly popular especially in Hawaiian and Polynesian traditions, and as we know these are cultures that associate deep meaning and symbolism to natural creatures and elements - the lizard is not an exception either.
As for lizard tattoos, there are usually two main types that people choose:
Gecko Lizard Tattoos: Geckos can commonly be found in tropical regions of the world. They are completely harmless, and have broad and long bodies. What is special about them is that they can change their natural colors to disguise themselves from predators. They have very good hearing unlike other lizard animals. But what is most important, they look awesome in tattoo form. Some choose a design that covers the full chest or back, or just a small simple design to the legs.
Iguana Lizard Tattoos:Iguanas come mainly from South Africa and Central America. They can grow as large as 5 to 7 feet and have impressive defensive mechanisms. They naturally have bright colors, so you should use intense colors to make it look good as a tattoo.
There are many associations of lizards amongst people. For Example, Native Americans associate them with dreams, thus lizard tattoo wearers are considered dreamers or individuals who can interpret dreams. As for the Romans, lizards symbolized rebirth and resurrection. Another interpretation of them are divine wisdom and fortune, especially for the Greeks and Egyptians.
The popularity of these tattoos is rising nowadays thanks to celebrities also.
Specifically talking about gecko or iguana tattoos, we can say that they come in bigger and smaller designs, too. The interesting thing is that many women choose a bigger design, say on the sides, and not only small lizards (like the simplistic tribal one).
The tattoos look best with bright colors and in a simple way in my opinion. They can be decorated though with flames, flowers, a yin yang symbol, and so on.

Flower tattoos are one such design, where there is no dearth for patterns and creativity. As endless varieties of flowers are known to man, there are more chances of getting a unique flower tattoo design. Apart from that, several flowers have significant meanings associated with them. For e.g., aster stands for patience, carnation for pride, daffodil for chivalry, daisy for innocence, rose for love, etc.
Flower tattoos can be mixed with other designs like butterfly or vine tattoos to create a more beautiful and attractive tattoo.

Flower Tattoo Lower Back Tattoo Designs
Lower Back Tattoo In the mid 90's lower back tattoos designs were becoming very hip and popular. The reason for this is because the back is one of the sexiest parts of a female body. Lower tattoos are usually V shaped to emphasize the curvaceous shape of a woman's body.
Lower Back Tattoo A woman can choose to wear a cropped shirt to display her tattoo or hide it under a dress in conservative occasions. A woman that sports a tattoo is usually confident of her sex appeal.
Lower Back TattooLower back tattoo designs will always emphasize a woman's sexiness. The back is always a perfect spot for lower back tattoo designs being expressed to denote the secret and sensual aspects of a woman's essence.
Lower Back Tattoo In Hinduism, it is believed that the back is the residence of coiled energy or Kundalini, so these lower back tattoo designs are perfect for this area for it to shine through. Some women who opt for tattoos do so for the art and it looks good with them while other women who want a touch of spirituality will opt for a design that expresses such.
Lower Back TattooThere are many popular lower back tattoo designs and here are some of the favorites: The Lotus flower is one of the most popular a woman can get. With its flowers, buds and pods, the design actually symbolizes splendor. If you mix the Lotus tattoo with a Sanskrit phrase or tribal design then the more will its Oriental beauty be emphasized and highlighted.
Lower Back Tattoo Butterfly is another of those designs for women that are popular. The intricate and meticulous design of a butterfly with some tribal or wing design done in the right hues will be a perfect masterpiece that can adorn a woman's lower back. Butterfly tattoos will always signify grace, beauty and femininity.
Princess lower back tattoo designs for women are perhaps the second most popular choice. A princess crown tattoo is somehow best suited on a woman's lower back. It represents princess like life and its elegant design is great for lower back tattoos. If you happen to love fairy tales, fantasy movies of knights and princesses then this tattoo is for you!
Lower Back Tattoo A Celtic back tattoo is another popular choice that has some spirituality knitted with it. It is perhaps the most meaningful design you can have for your back. Combining a Celtic cross with your name above or below it is a great combination. Having a name of your love one just above or below a Celtic tattoo can be a symbol of love and respect for that person. You can also combine your Celtic cross with a vine or a tribal tattoo design.

Lower Back Tattoo Henna Temporary Tattoos
The henna tattoo design has always been around but there has been a real boost in popularity since the end of February. And now, in the heat of summer, henna temporary tattoos are all the rage! Whether they are the classic paint-on henna designs or modern transfer tattoos, henna temporary body tattoos are growing in popularity.
Many people have been tweeting photos of henna tattoos and they have been a permanent feature in the micro-blogosphere. There has been an increase in mentions and conversations regarding henna temporary tattoos over the past few months.
In part, this increase in popularity can be attributed to the season: it is summertime, and shorts, t-shirts and flip flops mean more skin on which to wear temporary tattoos. But this spike in popularity goes beyond what we would expect for the season. The increase in mentions, conversations and orders of henna tattoos indicates a true trend; a trend that can be attributed to the actualization of temporary tattoos as fashion accessories.
It all began with the fall fashion shows, at which Chanel introduced their temporary skin art line, Les Trompe. Those designs hit the market in February and other designers and retailers have followed suit. Henna tattoos have become trendy along with these other designs because the style is very similar.
In June, the Louis Vuitton 2011 Spring/Summer Menswear show in Paris prominently featured temporary body tattoos on models; just as Chanel did in the fall. As temporary tattoos become more of a staple in the world of fashion, henna temporary tattoos will continue to grow in popularity.
Transfer henna tattoos are probably the easiest way to wear this design. You can do it yourself and application is easy and fast. Plus, henna transfer tattoos are very inexpensive. The henna design is great for fashion because it mimics the temporary body tattoos of Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
Henna transfer tattoos look great around the ankle, along the thigh, around the wrist or arm or along the neck. They go with virtually any look and generally will last 3-5 days. Easy, inexpensive and fashionable: these traits make the henna transfer tattoo an excellent fashion accessory!

Henna Temporary Tattoos Polynesian Tattoo
The Polynesian islands (which are located on the Pacific Ocean) have been a popular tourist destination for Americans and Europeans as well. The mysticism that surrounds these cultures is so unique that it easily charms people. Polynesian people developed a distinct mythology and traditions from any known cultures, which makes us curious about them.
Unfortunately, many pieces of art have perished since the discovery of Polynesia in 1500, as missionaries arrived and waged war with the native inhabitants. This is sad, as Polynesians had a developed tradition of tattooing, and actually the word "tattoo" derives from a word of theirs, meaning "to strike".
Speaking of Polynesian tats, we can differentiate between two basic kinds of them: the Enata, and the Etua. Enata are natural designs that represent a person's standing in the society, deeds, origins, occupation, etc. So a fisherman most likely received a tattoo which protected him from sharks and showed his occupation.
The second kind - Etua tattoos - carry a much deeper meaning, which can be religious and magical. These designs could show reverence to particular persons inside the tribe or could serve as a charm, by which gods gave the wearer luck.
Of course in modern tattooing circles the old meanings are not that important, as most of us don't have anything in common with Polynesian culture.
They look good enough though for many people to opt for a tattoo like this. It especially fits on the arms, sometimes reaching to the chest. The design consists usually of circles, lines and knots which go in line with each other, sometimes bending away from each other.

Polynesian Tattoo Tattoo Accessories
Time flies, A new year has arrived. Life goes on to advance and if you are conscious of this then it will be secure to show that you are still alive and well in 2011. In my view, I'd like to do something special that I had always wanted to do ,but never had the courage to follow my mind ; Yes, you got it, I am going to get a tattoo not too special just my lucky number with my lucky color on my back. Getting a tattoo, if done perfectly, can actually be extremely attractive and with the standard of the new tattoo accessories that the tattoo artists use these days which will really make your money worth costing.
As we know, Years ago getting a tattoo was out of order. Both the tattoo equipments and tattoo accessories used were quite tough to use and sometimes you may end up with a tattoo design or tattoo art that may make you regret to live .Thankfully as all branches the tattoo companies have continued to improve and develop and now they are just at the stage where it is quilt comfortableand medically safer to get our tattoo performed. We may thanks to those new tattoo accessories. Which is the tattoo artist told me who we should give the thanks to.
With no doubt, the most concern for people when they go to get tattoos is the risk of infection. You may continuously hear the terrible stories on the internet or on the TV about celebrities who have been infected by an unsterilized needle or something else with tattoo. However, now, you can not be concerned on this, just take it easy, tattoo practice skins can deal with such question, which can also make you be at ease use. Of course ,first of all ,you should know What will the tattoo needles use for tattoos. As the needles pierce the skin, the colored pigments are injected under the skin, between the permanent bottom layer and the surface layer which is constantly dying off and being replaced by fresh skin cells.
When tattooing, you may can not stand that pain; then tattoo anesthetic will be the emancipator; After tattooing, maybe you will be fear of being scar on your beautiful skin, at this time, anti scar cream will remove your worry. So what are you worried about?
At first, the most I was concerned about is that what it would feel like for my first time. Several friends of mine had experienced the tattooing, when I ask them "what does it feel?" They just tell me that I can never learn through their experience to define mine. Indeed, feelings may differ from different person. Honestly speaking, it wasn't as bad as I was thinking it felt, it was more like someone grasping at my arm, finally, I finish my first tattoo. At last, I'd like to say thanks to the tattoo accessories which help me a lot.

Tattoo AccessoriesTattoo Aftercare
Ok, you recently had tattoo artwork done on your body, your excited and naturally you want to take good care of it. Your tattoo artist has done his job and it is no longer his responsibility for any infections or problems that may occur in the future. Your awesome tattoo can turn into disaster if you do not take care of it. Here are some guidelines you should follow to make sure nothing happens to your new tattoo.
Dont touch that bandage!
Your tattoo artist applied a bandage to cover up your tattoo for a good reason. To keep nasty bacteria entering your wound. The skin has been opened therefore it is considered a wound. Whenever flesh is opened it is a breeding ground for all types of bacteria which cause infections. The bandage should be left on for at least 2-3 hours. Please try to resist taking it off, I no you are eager to look at and show people your brand new tattoo, but it is vital that you keep it covered up.
Wash your Tattoo and Treat it.
After the 2 or 3 hours is up remove your bandage and wash your tattoo. Make sure to use warm water with a mild antibacterial soap. Gently wash away any blood or ointment completely cleans the entire area. Just use your hands and not a cloth, cloth could contain bacteria, just make sure your hands are squeaky clean and your good to go.
After the area is completely clean use a clean towel or paper towel and pat the area dry, do not rub, just pat.
Products and Lotions
If you would like to purchase products Tattoo Goo or H2Ocean is recommended. Though not necessary, many over the counter products will work just fine and just as effective, but it is up to you.
Continue to keep it clean, use lotion if you prefer or ointments, to keep the skin nice and soft. Just remember make sure the lotion is dye and fragrance free, many tattoo parlors recommend Lubriderm, some people have reported it stings, so beware of that. I myself use Eucerin.
Showering, bathing and Swimming.
It is perfectly fine to take a shower with your new tattoo. Its ok to get your tattoo wet, but don't soak it. Other words don't take a bath for at least 2-3weeks, soaking your tattoo can cause damage, so just take a shower and your good to go. If soap or shampoo gets on your tattoo just remove it as quickly as you can with some water. Also don't swim for 2 weeks.
Scabs and Peeling
After a few days you may notice some scabs or peeling, a lot of scabbing could be a sign of poor tattoo work, but a little scabbing is sometimes normal so don't panic. The best way to rid these scabs is to apply warm compresses to the scabs for at least 6 - 7 minutes 3 times a day this will soften the scabs and they will peel off on there own. Do not use a lotion or ointment to soften them. More then likely they will itch please try not to pick or scratch them, if it gets real bad just slap it hard and that should minimize the itching.
Sun Protection
The suns ultraviolet rays can fade and even damage your tattoo quite rapidly. Just remember if your going to spend a lot of time in the sun, weather it be at the beach or a long walk make sure to apply a sun block to protect your tattoo against the suns ultraviolet power.

Hawaiian Tattoos
Tattooing in Hawaii
Like many other Polynesian-descended cultures, the native Hawaiians practiced tattooing. The most heavily tattooed members of the tribe would be the royal family, followed by other court officials and persons who were in the royal family by marriage.
The designs were monochromatic, tattooed in black against brown skin. The patterns and layout were strongly geometric and there were many shapes and symbols which represented the natural island world: stones, waves, fish, sharks, turtles, rain, sun, birds.
Tattoos were traditionally created by using a tool much like a sharpened rake to prick the designs. The tattoo tool would be hit by another stick to make the punctures. Assistants helped by stretching the skin for the tattoo artist and by wiping away the blood.
Rae's Hawaiian Rune Tattoos
My tattoo designs came from a set of Hawaiian rune stones made by a friend of mine who lives on Oahu. She got the designs from a guy who created an entire Hawaiian oracle, creating modern rune graphics based on ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs from across the entire series of islands. They explored ancient roles (sacred elder, master), incorporated animal totems (shark, turtle, owl) and other concepts (the elements, play, prayer). But with all her notes, she doesn't have the name of the guy who came up with all these designs and she can't remember it either.
I was doing a reading with the set of stones and cards she made when I "saw" my tattoo idea very clearly and knew this was jus the thing for my next piece of ink. I talked with a friend who was a local on the island to get a recommendation for a shop (she knew of several to be totally avoided!) and who wanted to come along for her next piece of ink as well.
A woman artist at Odyssey Tattoo in Wahiawa named Alex did my tattoo. She traced the designs I brought in to make temporary stencils to apply to my skin. Once we agreed on the placement, she tattooed them. The outline of all the symbols was done first, then she went back and filled them all in to be solid. All in all, the entire process took about forty-five minutes from start to finish.
Before you get a Hawaiian Tattoo...
Think about your time in the water! New tattoos need to be kept out of water. You will need to avoid swimming in the ocean, and soaking in pools or hot tubs for one to two weeks, until the skin fully heals and all the scabbing is done.
Think about your time in the sun! The number one enemy of tattoos new and old is the sun: it makes them fade in color and will even make them blur softly over time. And when the tattoo surface is still open, you won't want to put sunscreen on it as it can contain a lot of chemicals that will irritate the healing skin wound. Most often the best thing you can do on a beach vacation is NOT get tattooed.
If a shop or artist will only do designs off their walls and not draw something up for you, go find a new tattoo studio! If you truly want a piece of art that you can be happy with for a lifetime, get something original from an artist, not a scratcher who only knows how to copy what someone else drew.
