It is essential to put in a lot of thought if one wishes to have a permanent tattoo made on the body. Firstly one needs to take into consideration the acceptability of a particular design in the society as well as in a person’s career. For e.g., tattooing is not accepted in corporate culture and is often looked down upon. Secondly, certain designs and symbols may create controversy or hurt feeling of certain community. Lastly, one may even get bored of a certain tattoo after some time. One may argue that tattoo removal is possible anytime, however, one should remember that it is a painful and expensive process. If you wish to avoid all this, it is better to go for a design that is decent, socially accepted, yet creative and different. Here are some unique tattoos for men.

Tattoo Ink Colors
Tattoo ink is the substance that gives colors to the various tattoo designs. The tattoo ink is injected into the skin where the color stays. Though it is meant to be permanent, it is prone to a bit of fading over the period of time. The ink comprises of two basic components- pigments and carriers.

INK: THE TATTOO PROJECT

Το taf παρουσιάζει σε συνεργασία με το Lightroom Projects την έκθεση φωτογραφίας Ink - The Tattoo Project του Παντελή Ζερβού και του Ηλία Αναστασιάδη που θα διαρκέσει από 20 Ιανουαρίου έως 13 Φεβρουαρίου 2011. Η έκθεση διερευνά τις όψεις και τα νοήματα του τατουάζ, όπως αποτυπώνονται σε 200 περίπου δίπτυχα φωτογραφικά πορτρέτα.
Η κοινωνική πρόσληψη και οι συμβολισμοί του τατουάζ έχουν διαφοροποιηθεί σημαντικά μέσα στον χρόνο. Το INK - The Tattoo Project εστιάζει στο τατουάζ ως αφήγηση προσωπικών ιστοριών, μετάδοση μηνυμάτων, σχέση σύγκρουσης, μετάβασης και αποδοχής με τον εαυτό και το κοινωνικό περιβάλλον. Η έκθεση παρουσιάζει φωτογραφίες από τατουάζ σε αντιστοιχία με τα πορτρέτα των κατόχων τους και καλεί τους θεατές να παρατηρήσουν, να συγκρίνουν τις καταγραφές, να αποκρυπτογραφήσουν αυτόν τον οπτικό και σωματικό κώδικα επικοινωνίας, και να δώσουν τις δικές τους ερμηνείες.
Ο Παντελής Ζερβός και ο Ηλίας Αναστασιάδης εργάστηκαν για 12 μήνες με κοινό τους ενδιαφέρον το θέμα - αν και μη έχοντας οι ίδιοι τατουάζ. Ο Ηλίας έβρισκε τους κατάλληλους ανθρώπους και ο Παντελής τους φωτογράφιζε. Το στούντιο του φωτογράφου επισκέφτηκαν πάνω από 200 φορείς τατουάζ και μοιράστηκαν πολυάριθμες γλαφυρές ιστορίες για το πώς τα απέκτησαν.
