Che Guevara Symbol Tattoo

let us recall what Fidel said in his speech at the mass meeting in memory of Che on 19 October 1967:

"If we want to say how we want the men of future generations to be, we should say: let them be like Che.

If we want a model of a man, a model of a man who does not belong to his time, a model of a man who belongs to future times, from the heart, I say that the model, without a single blemish in its conduct, without a single blemish in its attitude, without a single blemish in its actions - that model is Che.

If we want to know how we want our children to be, we should say, with all our mind and heart: we want them to be like Che."




Most of us would want to get an angel tattoo in order to let the people know who we really are. By getting this tattoo, we are letting the people know how angelic we are. Angels are already a part of our lives since our childhood days. They're supernatural messengers of God. Angel designs are ideal for both men and women, although angel tats for women are more popular.

For men, there are also several different styles available for them - angel wing tattoos, the guardian angels, archangels as well as cherubs.

Harley Davidson Tattoo Ideas

Tattoos are a way of expressing through symbols what one believes in and holds valuable in life. They may be anything, for that matter even people who were very close and now departed.

Religious tattoos

Religious tattoos and the symbolism of the various religions have strangely become popular to secular society. Crosses and pictures of Jesus and praying hands or the sacred heart have been seen gracing the biceps of clearly non-religious individuals.

Geisha Tattoo Designs

Last but not least something that everyone has of course heard about Japan is the Geisha.  The Geisha in Japan are seen to be entertainers and the holders of the culture.  They were and still are trained in the arts, including calligraphy, music and dance to just name a few.  In fact the very word Geisha means " a person of the arts:.  They are highly intelligent and incredible conversationalists.  Many of the most traditional woodcut artwork featured the Geisha in what was called the "floating world".  Many of these designs found their way into the art of tattooing early on also.  The Geisha tattoo can symbolize exotic beauty, feminine power and mystique.  Thus is also a symbol that speaks to many women.
These are just a few of the more traditional Japanese tattoos designs that are popular in the West and also very traditional at the same time.  They are also designs that can easily be translated into feminine tattoo designs.  Each one holds a bit of power and strength along with feminine beauty and mystique making for the ideal tattoo design for many women.  These are just a few of the ideas.

Another well known artist at the moment is Kat von D. I don't know if she is better known for her art or her appearance, but she has also worked for many celebrities like Kirk Hammett (Metallica), the Green Day and Jenna Jameson (who has a nice tattoo on her back explaining why she does what she does for a living: "I was born to do it").
