tribal tattoos for women neck image
Madison
Simply put, I'd like to know if tongue piercing was done in the 1940s, and just how common it was. Was it more common in men or women? How were people with tongue piercings viewed in that time period, and is there a website where I can find this information?
I'm talking about people in Western society, by the way. Britain, the United States, Australia, etc. I realise that tongue piercing has been practiced by the Aztecs and several other cultures long before the 1900s.

No. In the 1920's30's there was a craze/fad of burning pictues/patterns on one's skin with heat/tanning lamps, and tattoos have always been around...but even tattoos have only recently in modern advanced societies become widely acceptable. For most of the 20th century in the USA, for example, tattoos were confined to the shadows ie. macho sailor/soldier type tattoos and subcultures - mostly prison-related... Only in very recent decades have tattoos have become widely acceptable. Piercings also have to be considered in the light of modern day antibiotics. I'd hate to risk a life threatening infection for the sake of a decorative piercing ...
I remember decades ago conducting clinical interviews, and if I encountered tattoos, it was usually an indication/sign of an antisocial personality...but now it's something common to soccer moms...
Personally, I have never gotten a tattoo, because - although I like them and wouldn't mind a beautiful illustration of pop art on my back - I am also sensative to how such things are viewed by various cultures. I'd hate to visit a foreign land and suddenly be seen as a criminal deviant on the basis of a tattoo. The same applies to piercings... I hate the idea of catching/snagging a bull-nosed piercing on a string or fishing line and being dragged off into sme h4llish oblivion. Scratch one's nails across the proverbial blackboard; it gives me the same shivering discomfort of mind as does some terrible body piercing.
Body piercing and tattooing is very old and goes off into the depths of prehistory... They were used as art, identification of tribal/clan affiliations, religion... and I do not wish to glorify these practices, because they were not always harmless practices... I found a finger joint bone under a rock overhang here where I live in Alabama; it was about 2000 years old. The finger joint bone was deliberatly sliced off by a native... Some Plains Natives in North America did the same thing...to the point that it was said some natives could barely draw a bow string because they had sliced off so many finger joints. Why? Well, 2000 years ago it was likely a mark of bravery ie. if you met me and I was missing a few finger joints, it showed that I was a tough warrior and hunter - an experiened 'cool' fellow. It might also have originated as a kind of religious sacrifice to beome a better hunter...in times of food scarcity...
Vikings carved their teeth and painted/inlaid the enamel and practiced body art. Skull warping among various tribes all over the world has been practiced to artificially slope the foreheads to show 'nobility' has been practiced. Thank God, I don't see it now in modern times... Necks have been articially extended/manipulated. The Chinese practice of crippling womens feet was once common. Male circumcision remains the most common and unnecessary form of body mutilation.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. I prefer all my fingers, no piercings, and a clean body slate. It;s a hard world to get through without being scathed...

Answer
Deciding where to place your tattoo is very important for a few reasons. Your main concern should be esthetics, meaning the way it looks on your body. However, depending on how well you do with pain, you might want to consider placement in relation to how bad it hurts in a specific place. If you cannot take the pain and need to stop, or change the design, that looks much worse than if you had put it in a different location.
When choosing a place for your tattoo, you should first analyze what type of tattoo you are getting, and what type of person you are. Males and females generally get different places tattooed, according to societyâs ideas of femininity and masculinity. So if you are getting a small feminine tattoo, you probably donât want to place it on your bicep. And if youâre getting a burly masculine tribal, you probably wonât get it on your lower back.
Stereotypically, males usually go for the arms, shoulder, upper back and chest pieces, while females go for the ankles, feet, lower stomach/crotch area, lower back, upper back shoulder area, and back of neck. Of course, these are just basic ideas, if we were to keep all our tattoos separated by gender like this we would all look the same.
Keep in mind what the design looks like when choosing the spot. Sometimes a female will want a feminine flowing type tattoo that doesnât stay in just one area. One that I just saw started on a girlâs hip went up her back, onto her shoulder, down her arm, and ended on her hand. Yet, because it was a thin, light, flowing design, it was very feminine and did an excellent job of accentuating her bodyâs shape and curves. That is very important in the eyes of most women, they want the tattoo to fit their body to make it look better, and not just place a piece of art on it randomly. A womanâs curves can be major factors in the design process so have the artist keep that in mind.
For men, it might look best to fill an area of muscle with the tattoo, so if the design you choose doesnât quite fill the area, a little bit of colored or greywash background might make it fit better and look better placed.
A tattoo artist has stencils in order to place the design on your body. If you need them to move the design in any direction, let them know. You are not being a nuisance; they are obligated to make sure you are fully satisfied with the tattoo. After the stencil is placed on your body, you and your artist might discuss small additions in order to make it fit better, when it is a design, just color, or something traditional like clouds. These last additions would probably be drawn on with a marker, and this is where trusting your tattoo artist is important.
