Reading Tattoos

1.       The heart tattoo with the name is large it has the name “Lisa” on a banner with a line through it to show it being marked out, under it there is another banner with the name Karen. What obviously stands out the most is the name that was there that has a line going through it also to me the heart seems very plain and boring. The heart almost looks like a weird circle, the name with the line through it is right in the middle of the whole piece, the line through it seems to be darker than any other part of the tattoo.

The next tattoo is one of a rose on a shoulder it looks old and the lines look somewhat blurred together. To me this tattoo looks very old the lines look blurred together and don’t have much definition.

The next tattoo is one of Jiminy Cricket it is also on the shoulder and shows him holding an umbrella. This tattoo looks to be not very old you can see most of the detail you can really see his top hat and the lines in it.

The last tattoo is a whole back piece and looks to also extend to the front; it is of a samurai holding a sword. There is so much to this tattoo there is shading everywhere no part of his back is left untouched. The giant samurai in the middle is decorated by intricate designs and shading all around him.

2.       I think people get tattoos to express who they are and how they feel.
3.        For example the first tattoo of the hearts with the names was probably done when the gentleman was with an ex-girlfriend named Lisa things who he cared about very much he expressed his feelings for her by getting her name and heart on his arm, things probably went bad and they broke up. The guy then got with another woman named Karen he wanted to express his feeling for her and had her name tattooed on him to show her and scratched out Lisa’s name. This was all done for him to express how he felt for these women. The guy with the samurai tattoo had his done to express himself and be different
