Tattoos have become style statement among for every young at heart
crowd. Tattoos are coolest thing to have on any part of your body, it
gives you a certain boost in confidence as you go around town sporting
it and turn many heads. Tattoos are becoming more and more popular with
no sign of backing off. While getting a tattoo, precautions should
always be vigilantly observed to avoid medical issues such as HIV, AIDS,
hepatitis and other diseases that can be acquired through sharing of
needles, use of unstarilized equipments and sloppy procedures. To
prevent yourself from these diseases get tattoo from tattoo shop and
tattoo artist who have license to do this and you also have to be alert
and observant that everything that pierces your skin is new and sterile.
If your are getting tattoo for first time then get small length design
rather than full length dragon and Celtic designs. Small version of
dragon design or any other design heals faster than full length once, if
an infection persists. So, infection risk is less with small length
tattoos. Tattoo making means a thin and sharp needle will be infected in
your skin multiple times, which is very painful to give you a simple or
complex design. Do doubt they look attractive but tattoo making comes
with lot of pain and lose of blood. To get a tattoo, go to a tattooist
who gives gap between appointments, so that he is not in a hurry.
Hastiness causes mistakes not only in the design but also put the
customer’s health at risk. Select a simple and yet attractive design,
plan your appointment with qualified tattooist, so that you can enjoy
your tattoo for many years which will help you to fades away the memory
of pain.

dressing sense speaks for you. A dress tells a lot about your
personality. So dress-up smartly and appropriate to increase the grace
of your personality. Be confident in what you wear. Clothes are not just

In
the field of fashion changes happen frequently and they are more rapid
than any other human activity like thoughts, customs etc. Some changes
in fashion imply negative aspects of capitalism: it results in waste and
encourages the consumers to buy unnecessarily. But from my aspects you
should allow yourself to enjoy the diversity that changing fashion can
provide. But never forget to dress in your own style.
There are some tips that can steer you towards achieving correct dressing sense. Here they are-:
1) Dress- up in your own style that befits you, not what is currently in the fad.

4) Always have some staple dresses in your closet which include little black dress, a wrap dress, empire waist dress, A-line cut gown, maxi dress etc. These dresses can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion.
5) You should be aware of your body flaws this helps to increase your dressing sense. Learn how to disguise them.
6) Don’t just shop in one store try to go to different stores and mix-n-match, do practical experiment with your clothes. This will improve your dressing sense.
7) Make a habit of changing your style often, this will not just make you look sophisticated, younger, and confident but will generate positive vibes in your body.

Importance of fashion
Fashion plays an important part in everyone’s life.
Fashion guides us towards maximizing our assets and minimizing our flaws.
It
depends on us how we achieve it; remember to wear cloths in which you
feel comfortable both physically and psychologically. Be confident and
carry the outfit gracefully. As we all know ‘every book is judged by its
cover’ so by following the fashion trends you can create good
impression on others. So, if you spend lot of time and money on just
looking perfect don’t regret it. Through fashion magazines or
celebrities one can closely follow these fashion trends.
For
me fashion is important because it helps be to express myself, fashion
is a means of “self-expression”. Cloths we wear speak a lot about our
personality. I may prefer loud colors and glowing accessories but some
may not as it might not go well with their personality. Every generation
has different meaning of fashion. For some it’s an art form and for
some it’s a religion. The thing which remains common is we all want to
look and feel good. One should make their own fashion statement. Choose a
brand or designer cloths make sure it has good fabric, style and
fitting. It’s not just the cloths right hair style, accessories,
make-up, shoes, cell phone, Ipod all these add a lot to your style.
Fashion
is changing from past hundred years. New trends are being set by
fashion industry. Young designers are coming up with new ideas by
blending various cultures.
Fashion
plays a particular part in our culture, whenever we think of fashion in
India, we think of saris. Sari is not only worn in India these days but
in western countries many women love to wear sari on special occasion
to get the feel of Indian culture. In Mexico and Africa people love to
wear bright colors. Short-skirt with big flowers on is style statement
of Hawaii. So, cultures are mixing up and fashion industry is coming up
with innovative ideas.
Keep on experimenting with your looks but don’t be a fashion victim.

Indian Weddings
In India wedding is a big and fun filled event that continues for several days. In Indian culture marriages not bring bride and groom closer it also brings two families together. Indian weddings, all across the globe, are replete with various rituals and ceremonies. The rituals and ceremonies may be different depending on the religion to which the bride and the groom belong. However, their significance remains unchanged. Indian wedding can be observed under three basic rituals-
- Pre-wedding rituals
- Wedding day
- Post wedding rituals.
The Pre-Wedding Rituals: In Hindu
religion weddings are considered as a sacred affair which commence with pre
wedding rituals such as engagement, tilak, haldi, sangeet and mehandi. In
engagement ceremony both prospective bride and groom exchange rings and take
blessings of their family and friends to start new chapter of their life. Next
ritual is Tilak, here prospective bride’s elder brother goes to prospective
groom’s house and applies tilak on the groom’s forehead and offer boxes of
sweets. Next is Haldi ceremony which is performed in morning, wherein
prospective groom is applied haldi on face, arms and legs first by groom’s
mother followed by all the other ladies present for the ceremony. This same
Haldi is now taken to prospective bride’s house by groom’s mother and applied
to bride’s face, arms and legs. In evening sangeet and mehandi ceremony is
performed. Here the bride is applied mehandi on hands, palms and legs in an
artistic way and women and girls sing and dance to wedding songs to enjoy the
special moments.
Wedding Day: This is special and
very important day for both prospective bride and groom and their respective
families. From today two separate individuals will become soul mates. The
ceremony begins with Jaimala wherein both the bride and the groom exchange
flower garland. Once they exchange garlands their family and friends shower
flower petals on them to bless the new couple. After this the couple is taken
to mandap where Kanyadaan ceremony is performed. This ritual is very important
and performed by bride’s parents where they give their daughter’s hand to the
groom. And groom makes three promises- (dharma) to follow his duties towards
family, (artha) earn and support family, and (kama) love his wife. After this
the priest starts wedding mantras and asks both bride and groom to take seven
vows around the holy fire. In these vows the couple makes a promise to support
and understand each other through all thick and thins. The priest asks the
groom to tie mangalsutra around the bride’s neck and then apply sindoor in the
bride’s hair parting.
After completion of all wedding
day rituals post wedding rituals commence. In Post wedding ritual the bride
leaves her parents home to join grooms family with a promise to spread
happiness in new family. The bride is welcomed with aarti and flowers in
groom’s house. Once all rituals are complete a grand reception is thrown by
groom’s family to introduce bride to their society.
