22 Cute and Crazy Baby Tattoos ibytemedia

Do you know about baby tattoos ? A tattoo is a kind of body modification, made by inserting ink, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment.

The expressed word tattoo, or tattow in the 18th century, is a loanword from the Polynesian term tatau, signifying "to create". The Oxford British Dictionary gives the etymology of tattoo as "In 18th c. tattaow, tattow. From Polynesian (Samoan, Tahitian, Tongan, etc.) tatau. In Marquesan, tatu." Prior to the importation of the Polynesian term, the practice of tattooing had been explained in the Western as painting, scarring, or staining.

This isn't to be baffled with the roots of the word for the armed forces drumbeat or performance -- see military tattoo. In this full case, the English phrase tattoo is derived from the Dutch term taptoe (OED).

The first written reference to the term tattoo (or tatau), appears in the journal of Joseph Bankers (24 February 1743 - 19 June 1820), the naturalist aboard Captain Cook's dispatch the HMS Endeavour: "I will now mention the way they indicate themselves indelibly, all of them is so designated by their humour or disposition".

The term "tattoo" was brought to Europe by the explorer James Cook, when he went back in 1769 from his first voyage to Tahiti and New Zealand. In his narrative of the voyage, he refers to an operation called "tattaw".

Tattoo enthusiasts may make reference to tattoos as "printer ink", "parts", "pores and skin art", art" "tattoo, "tats", or "work"; to the creators as "tattoo artists", "tattooers", or "tattooists"; and places where they are "tattoo shops", "tattoo studios", or "tattoo parlors".

Mainstream art galleries carry exhibitions of both custom and regular tattoo designs such as Beyond Epidermis, at the Museum of Croydon. Copyrighted tattoo designs that are sent and mass-produced to tattoo painters are known as "flash", a notable example of commercial design. Flash bed linens are prominently displayed in many tattoo parlors for the purpose of providing both enthusiasm and ready-made tattoo images to customers.

The Japanese term irezumi means "insertion of ink" and can mean tattoos using tebori, the traditional Japanese palm method, a Western-style machine, or for that matter, any method of tattooing using insertion of ink. The most common phrase used for traditional Japanese tattoo designs is Horimono. Japanese may use the term "tattoo" to mean non-Japanese styles of tattooing.
