The Taboo Of The Tattoo

 

The expression of self through Body Art has evolved from its 

ritualistic ancient origins, 

Dating as far back as the Neolithic times.

Tattoos were once seen as scribed incantations and used as magical tools for protection, lucky charms and 

acknowledging ones devotion to a God or Religion through the very embodiment of significant symbolism.

There is something within society that 

forces us to decode ourselves

 apart from other immortals.   

What better way to say that in this time of New Age glory than to engrave your bare canvas mortal body parts with intricate art pigments 

like no definitive other.
