The history of tattoos originated several thousand years ago. Originally the first techniques of drawing on the body appeared in the ancient tribes.
Tattoos were applied with a hammer and stick with sharp animal teeth or by scarring. They were used as a disguise, a distinctive sign and protection against spirits. Modern tattoos began to appear in the 50s of the 20th century and became popular among young people as a method of self-expression.
Before getting a tattoo, you should prepare carefully. Preparation includes: choosing a sketch that you like, choosing a place to apply, and most importantly, a good tattoo parlor. And now we will try to help you with the first two points.
Don't forget to check up professionalism and skill of a person that will do you a tattoo
Tattoos on the neck for men
Men's neck tattoos are divided into several types - collar, side and back of the neck. Most men choose the first kind, which describes the entire neck. A man's tattoo can be as small as it is, or it can cover the entire space on the neck. When choosing a sketch, images of animals, patterns in the Indonesian style and other interesting drawings are very popular.
GENDER PRINCIPLE
The division of tattoos into male and female is very conventional. In the past, girls mostly chose small drawings or inscriptions, but now they are not afraid to score the sleeve or back.
Men have always preferred large drawings. Tattoos in the form of a wolf or owl were popular among the ancient Slavs. They believed that the wolf would give courage and strength, and the owl would give wisdom. But applying the tattoo then was akin to testing on endurance, and such an honor was awarded to men over 33 years.
Fortunately, modern tools and anesthetics make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
Other images that are often found in men's tattoos are a lion, a tiger or a bear. At the same time, the stereotype that roses and peonies are stuffed only on girls has almost disappeared.
