Product Information

In the West, as well as in South Africa, which in many ways is still an appendage of the West in terms of its value systems, tattoos have almost always been the chosen exoskeleton of white dominated subcultures like biker, metal and punk scenes. Like in the US, South Africa's legacy of segregation seeps into our daily preconceptions. All aspects of culture are demarcated and divided across racial lines. The ironic identity politics of body art in this country is that it's seen as a white thing even though it adorned the bodies of our ancestors and those of aboriginal people all over the world since long before their colonizers arrived to brand them with new far more insoluble markings. Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together. Carvel is a bright and fun tattoo and design studio situated in Noordhoek.

While getting a tribal tattoo can be exciting, we must remember that tribal tattoos have deep cultural significance and meanings.

Cicatrization involves cutting the skin deeply to create scar tissue before then rubbing ash or soot into the wound. Whilst the ash/soot does add pigments of color to the scars as they form, the main purpose of adding these elements to the area is to inflame the skin, causing the scars to raise and protrude even more than they normally would. Africa means many things to many people, and as the cradle of humanity it has inspired a richness of cultural reverence that continues to find its way into some of the most beautiful and powerful tattoo art in the world today. There is also, with most things in our country, a difference in tattoo quality and even style between different classes. Tattoos nowadays are expensive and generally a luxurious thing to afford. Although there has been a large presence of Islamic societies within North Africa throughout its history (who do not support the ideas of tattooing or otherwise engraving on the body), there were many who considered the art form of tattooing to be a legitimate practice - especially large groups of Moroccan women for reasons currently unknown. Ankh: Often seen in Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Ankh represents life and immortality. It’s an emblem of eternal life, the morning sun, and purifying water to the ancient Egyptians.

Your Organisation

Systems were put in place by the biker gangs, that ruled the tattoo industry in the 80s and 90s, so that equipment and materials were only imported to professional studios, which were controlled by them. So, it was difficult for independent artists to exist and practise. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more. Therefore, it is important that thorough research is done into each tattoo design before they are inked onto the body. This is to avoid cultural misappropriation. The emblems on this tribal tattoo are inspired by the Bodi tribe and symbolise the transition to adulthood. Symbol or Placement Significance: As mentioned earlier, certain symbols or placements may have specific meanings or be reserved for certain members of the community. Using these without the necessary status or context can be seen as disrespectful.

The continent has drawn individuals from near and far for hundreds of years, looking to savor the breathtaking landscape, wildlife, and history. My wife, Rejoice, was interested in getting a tattoo. When I asked her to show me tattoos that she likes on the Internet, she pointed to various examples. The process of scarification involved using a sharp instrument to cut the skin deeply enough for a scar to form over the area. Sections of skin were sliced into shapes and patterns so that when the skin healed and scarred, the shape/pattern would remain forever. It is a struggle for tattoo artists in South Africa to survive, as we can’t charge what our work is truly worth or charge for the time we put into it. Since people can’t afford it. And competing against scratchers prices just makes it that more impossible.
