Star tattoos, tribal, suns, letters, flowers, animals, oriental tattoos. Many, increasingly, those who surrender to this artistic movement that does not distinguish between social sectors and that is making its way through the prejudices drawing lines in the bodies of people around the world. The tattoos have various meanings from the beginning: It is communal, anecdotal, representative, assertive, forms of self expression or purely aesthetic.
Walking along any of the beaches of Ibiza are many who proudly display their tattoos, Paul noted that "the tattoos come in a given time, there are signs indicating that I have to let me.

Many are those who say that when you start to get a tattoo is like a vice that can not stop and end up covering you whole body.

There are many who think much to drawing done and in what area but others simply for aesthetic or fashion and paint the whole body just to belong to an urban group, which although not officially identified, is quite widespread in our country.
