fantasy tattoos


Having a tattoo is two of the best expressions of your individuality that you could ever have. If having a permanent design on your body that reflects your personality is not the pinnacle of artistic expression (your and the artist's) then I don't know what is. Having a tattoo is like other rites of passages such as circumcision and having your ears pierces in that it is hard to undo it and impossible to forget it two times it is been done to you. And because tattoos are that important to those who have them done, it is always the best choice to have the exact right two that you'll proudly wear all your life!

But fantasy as most people perceive it is a highly romanticized and fictional view of past worlds and alternate realities where magic, dragons and the sword rule. Popular works of fantasy include The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien and The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. Actually even now there's a lot of fantasy works with the advent of such things as Dungeons and Dragons and various computer games.

But what kind of design would suit a real rebel like yourself? Tribal tattoos and Chinese designs are all the anger these days but what captures the perfect balance between artistry and rebellion? A fantasy tattoo of work. There's been a lot of debates over what constitutes a true fantasy themed tattoo, and the argument has raged on whether to include science fiction and horror themes as part of the traditional fantasy stock.

But what does it mean to have a fantasy themed tattoo on your body? Of work it is intimidating to have a fire breathing dragon flying on the canvas of your back but what is the deeper implication of this? It not only gives the impression of somebody who is not to be messed with but also somebody who is deeply creative and is in rebellion against the here and now. By projecting themes of fantasy, the person who has it tattooed on his skin is forever in an act of protest against the way things are: the ultimate rebel.
