Tattoos are becoming our ancillary Identity!

Clue Tattoo of Butterflies In some violent places like Baghdad tattoos are a proof of identity for the people, so that they can be identified easily by their relatives and friends if they die in some accident or violence. Tattoos are not only used in Baghdad to identify someone but now they are being used worldwide to identity any thief, murderer or deceased body.

Recently, in a remote area of Live Oak County, southeast of San Antonio, a woman’s body was found. The body was decomposed beyond recognition, but the officials released a tattoo sketch - hoping this sketch will help them in identifying the woman. The tattoo was placed on her right calf and includes two cartoonish butterflies facing each other with a heart and arrow between them. The initials “R.T.” are below the butterflies.

This is not the first case in which police has taken help of a tattoo to identity someone; there are many cases in which they have made use of a tattoo to identify a thief, rapist or murderer.

So, indirectly we can say tattoos are doing a great help to society.

Barcode Tattoos to mark our Identity in Forecenturies?
Posted on November 13th, 2007 at 10:12 am by Disha Singh

Barcode tattoo
Imagine in coming times everyone has their own barcode! It’ll be so robotic but this sounds something practical in twenty-third century.

Barcode tattoo on arm

Anyways, if this happens then I can say that every soul will have atleast a single tattoo on them. However, these barcodes tattoos will have the identity of a person hidden under their bars but I don’t know how this concept will work because for that we need help of learned researchers. If this actually happens then boy it’ll be so difficult for any terrorists or smugglers to change their identity with the help of plastic surgery.

Colored Barcode Tattoo

This will surely reduce the crime. Well, right now you can take a look at the barcode tattoos which are prevailing in today’s world.

Hilarious Geelong Tattoo Regret
Posted on November 13th, 2007 at 4:37 am by Disha Singh

Geelong Tattoo regret

Sorry, Neville I can’t help laughing on the stupidity of your tattoo artist, to ink these regretful tattoos on you. Actually, friends Neville is a die-hard Geelong/The Cats fan and he decided to get a tattoo to celebrate the team’s AFL triumph. He got the tattoos but these tattoos did not bring a smile on his face because his tattooist inked his team as “Gay Premiers 2007″ instead of “Day Premiers 2007″.

This was not an end to the erroneous tattoo - to avoid any confusion Neville had written his desired tattoos on a piece of paper under the heading “left arm” and “right arm” but to worsen the matter tattooist took it little too literally and wrote everything exactly the same onto the skin.

“I gave them a piece of paper and wrote down on the right arm, I wanted the new Geelong emblem they’ve got out now … and Day Premiers 2007.

And on the left arm side I wrote ‘left arm’ and the two grandkids names and Night Premiers 2006′

He had spent $150 and five and a half hour painful session to get these tattoos. When he noticed this blunder on his skin he drank fifteen cans of beer to ease himself.

Perhaps, the moral of the news is that always keep your mind and eyes wide open, while your artist is etching on you.
