Art of the Heart: Tattoo History
I thought this was interesting. Tattooing is known by many artistic people as an 'artistic expression', if not an expression of beauty... Although this might be very rough sounding for those who appreciate tattoos, or have some of their own; It's just sad to think how society is so un-learned about the meaning of some things. Let us open our hearts to the history of tattoos, and know why we believe what we believe. I would have uploaded some photos to go with this blog post to show more photos of tattoos throughout history, but it seems 99% of all tattoos photos are actually nude/ pornographic, which tells you something doesn't it? Worship of the body...yucks. Not to mention the further interesting fact, that without exaggeration, wherever I looked like 95% of all the tattoos were of proud pagan symbolism or imitation. Also it's further important to note, that those of modern day who are getting tattoos, find it addictive, and a 'get high' experience, kind of like a ritual for a 'non-christian' pagan experience. Anyhow, for anyone one who was thinking of getting a little creative tattoo; here's just a shortened insight into the background history and spiritual significance, for ya. Just an interesting bit of information I came across online...
