Tattoos: A Symbol Of Stingrays

Doing my senior project I found out that just doodling a Tattoo is difficult because you wouldn’t want it to be flat or too simple, so you have to really but in detail and attempt to put in depth to help your piece come to life even before it’s on skin, What I did was I put in a different color where the bottom area of the tentacle is and tried to do highlighting with some silver to give more depth.

Janes put some thought into the design and did research in order to get exactly what she wanted and still ended up with a small imperfection with the

The tattoo is a very old form of body modification, but in spite of that there is still a certain rejection towards those who carry them in a visible area of the body, for some it disfigures what has been created in the image and likeness of God while for others associates this with convicts or gang members mainly because they were one of the first groups to use tattoos to differentiate themselves from the rest of society. But also it is true that there is a very limited understanding about this corporal modification that could be one of the reasons why it can not be appreciated as for how it should be. However, modern society reflects the current popularity of tattooing because it has acquired an entirely artistic meaning to a social expression and a way of identity.

The stingray is a bottom-dwelling marine animal with a slim diamond shaped body and a poisonous stinger on its tail. To get food and energy stingrays have electrical sensors to sense when a pray is near. They also have sharp jaw teeth to crush cams, oysters, and mussels, and they have an under body mouth to make it easier for them to dig up and eat food hidden in the sand. To hid away from predators stingrays have two ways, one way is by their coloration. The stingray's coloration is similar to that of its surroundings so predators usually don't see them.
