Tattoo art

Tattoo art has existed since ancient times, and its origin can be traced back to the ancient totem culture, expressing a desire of human beings to show themselves. In ancient Africa, it was used as a symbol to distinguish ethnic groups, identities and status. Tattoo art in China has a history of 1000 years. The mother-in-law of the Song Dynasty tattooed the word "loyal to the country" for Yue Fei, which is actually a tattoo. The early tattoo art is also called tattoo, because the pigment is single, mainly cyan. However, in the past, most people who like tattoos in society were Jianghu people, so in the traditional concept of ordinary people, tattoos will have a negative impact on themselves and will be mistaken for dishonest people.

Rodin said: "The human body is the most beautiful work of art". In fact, tattooing (painting or tattooing) on an already beautiful human body will make your body a little wild and different, showing softness in wildness and mystery in roughness, which will show the amazing beauty of "you" itself-for men, it will increase the beauty of masculinity; For women, it's a little provocative, a little wild and a little coquettish. Of course, the "beauty" here is not the rough "tattoo" in the past, but the modern beautiful and exquisite painted patterns. With the progress of society, people's self-awareness is also improving. Tattoo art, as a recognition of one's own body, has been gradually accepted by the public in Western European countries, Japan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, including Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities in China.

Tradition or fashion

Artists use brushes to draw magic on various materials, but one day someone found that the human body is the best carrier of beauty, so they boldly used the body as a canvas and painted various patterns on the model with special makeup oil, making the human body a work of art. Now, it has become a unique and professional makeup technology, which is popular in the beauty industry after tattoo stickers, partial body and facial painting. The earliest body painting is a totem drawn by primitive people with whale ink as a symbol of protection. Then came the popular "tattoo". Except totem patterns, most of the patterns are fish patterns, cross patterns, triangle patterns and sawtooth patterns, which are basically geometric patterns. 189 1 year, the United States invented the electric tattoo machine and made a unified pattern, which was all the rage. This special "make-up" is also very popular in British upper class and Japan. Body painting also includes the face, and China's opera figure facial makeup is the peak of facial makeup art in the world.

In order to pray for peace and happiness, ancient Indians invented tattoos; For the same purpose, people in ancient Africa, the Middle East and other places painted on their bodies with various pigments. Thousands of years have passed, and in 2 1 century, body painting has made waves again, but now people's purpose is to show beauty.

The art of body painting is an art that competes with God. It gives artists unlimited imagination, and the pictures drawn are distinct, three-dimensional and expressive. Creation comes from life and can express vivid animal shapes; Can show interesting game stories; You can cast a human sculpture with smooth lines. The creator vividly shows the delicate lines and rich expressions of the human body with rough color blocks and delicate brushstrokes.

People who love fashion will not want fashion to stay on the runway. Fashion white-collar workers and avant-garde young people are also happy to draw their favorite patterns on their shoulders, belly, navel, back and chest to make themselves cool. Think about it, is it more romantic for lovers in love to draw an image that says "marry me" in the visible part than to send a rose to propose marriage? On your lover's birthday, isn't it better to draw her picture on your body to express your love than to give a gift?

When people finally found that painting has more room to play than tattoo tools, painting quickly became popular with an irresistible trend. So, between tradition and taboo, what does body painting give us? Decoration? Show off? Temptation?

Body painting is the self-expression of personality. Chest, face, neck, arms, hands and feet, or the most secret parts of the body are all places of expression. Body painting can vary from person to person, showing your favorite patterns. Girls like to draw scorpions, butterflies, roses and other patterns, mostly on the chest, back, arms, navel and other places, while men like abstract totems, protective words and so on. Not only that, body painting is just like your clothes, which can be changed at any time according to your preference. A girl drew a butterfly on her bare shoulder and asked her how she felt. She said: "It will be much more vivid to wear suspenders again, and it will also attract a high return rate."
