I am planning on getting Guan Gong (Chinese God of War deity) tattooed on my arm. Is there anything I need to do to avoid bad karma? I don’t believe there would be because how is it different from getting Jesus or Mother Mary tattooed? Read the rest of this entry »
If you take a cross-section of young men and women in North America, quite a lot of them are still doing the grunge thing. In general, this applies to caucasians. What do I mean?
- nose rings and other facial piercings
- body piercings
- tattoos
- messy hair
- messy facial hair for guys
- clothes fitting into one of these categories
– uncared for, rough, worn pants, tops, coats
– retro/vintage wear
– hats
– “ethnic” clothes (shawls, knitted hats, stuff you never see in Suburbia – reserved for city-dwellers wishing they were in the Andes)
– “my unique style” clothes, usually a mishmash of the above, sometimes neatly done, but requiring a piercing or hat to not just be a poser

1. Abstract Art-Freeform is a modern style involving no outlines and a Picasso like
appearance.
2. Black and Gray work is thought to be the true test of a tattoo artist. Shading is heavy
and the illusion of a 3D form is achieved without the use of color. This style is derived
from prison tattoo, but mechanically far exceeds the expectations of a crude jailhouse
3. Grey wash is a method of diluting black ink with water to achieve the grays from
light to black.
4. Biomechanical is a form of work showing humans meshed with machines. A common
theme is the flesh being ripped away exposing the mechanical inner workings of an
arm, for example. Artists such as H.R. Giger and Clive Barker inspire these works.
