Rites of passage are honoured and innuendos of what has been and is to come is imagined and defined. Face and body decoration create pathways for style at young ages with painters at community gatherings to increase the fun. If committing to an imprint is difficult one can simply get a henna tattoo that will last for weeks or a body painting that can be washed off.
#SUBLIME TATTOO SKIN#
Empowered forms are now cultural waves with sleeves, lilies down the thighs, necklaces, bracelets, sacral butterflies, and shoulders supported by angels wings.Some stories on the skin mark bonds of resonance with others in social tribes or note the coming and goings of relationships. The wearer becomes more colorful as they grace the beholder with ideas and ideals of self. Recent generations embrace body art which blossoms forth blending new expansive dimensions in flesh tales, whether in permanent tattoos or henna art, with the old symbols of strength, spirit, and connection. The shamanic youth of today have claimed the landscape of the globe reminding us we are all descendants of places such as Aboriginal Turtle Island as told in the creation tales of the ‘Dreamings’. A rose tattoo, a full bodied geisha, the name of lover or mom, are markers of past generations.
Today, more than ever before, as portals, these individualist decorative guides offer signs to inner metaphors and generous poetic statements shared from flesh to eye. Tattoo or paint on the skin is ageless, marking fertility rights, Martial celebrations, war games, theatrical works, rites of passage, and ritual indigenous celebrations. Personal expression via the skin is a subtle form of performance art.
