                                      Children's Mental Health Week 2021
                                      Children's mental health charity Place2Be has set up
                                      Children's Mental Health Week 2021 and it will take
                                      place from February 1st to February 7th. Its aim is to
                                      highlight the importance of mental health within
                                      children and young people.

                                      The theme of Children's Mental Health Week this year
                                      is 'Express Yourself'. The aim is to encourage children
                                      and young people to express themselves in a variety of
                                      ways. For example, expressing yourself can be about
                                      sharing your feelings, thoughts and ideas through
                                      creativity.

An important part of this theme is that expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're the best
at something. It's all about finding a way to show other people who you are and how you
feel. It's about showing how you see the world and finding a way to 'express yourself' which
feels good to you. Expressing yourself in a way that's unique to you is a great way to
improve mental wellbeing.

A tattoo design is a form of expression. There are different styles that will fit every unique
personality. The image should be considered carefully so you can find the best way to
express yourself. Try a select an image which reflects you or something that is important
about you that you want to share with others.

                 Genre of Tattoos
  1.The traditional style, also called old school tattoo style,
  American traditional tattoo style, classic tattoo style or
  Western traditional tattoo style, is known for its bold lines,
                          bright colours, and
                          iconic designs like roses,
                          anchors, and beautiful
                          lady heads.

    2. Realism or Realistic Tattoo Style
    Though classic realism has been a part of the fine art since as
    far back as the Renaissance, it only found its way to the world
    of tattoos recently, cropping up around the latter half of the
    20th century. Since then, this new tattoo style has become
    increasingly refined (due to improved tools and
                   inks) and extremely popular. You
                   can find detailed colour and black
                   and grey portraits of pretty much
                   any celebrity you can think of as
                   well as realistic images from nature
                   and just about anything else
                   imaginable, even the surreal.

3.Watercolor Tattoo Style
This style is a combination of the conventional watercolour paintings
and the skill of tattooing. Watercolour is also characterized by bright
                   colours that are distributed on
                   the skin as if the ink was spilled.
                   The colours can be used along
                   with an image or lettering in
                   black. Colours are often
                   scattered over the main image.

                              4. Tribal Tattoo Style

                             Tribal tattoo styles are considered to be the
                             oldest existing style, dating back thousands
                             of years. This tattoo style is considered as a
                             diversified style because the styles of
                             different cultures (including ancient
                             communities from different parts of the
                             world) are present here.
                             Indigenous tribes use symbols in their
                             tattoos to exhibit rituals, social status, group
                             ownership, and wartime accomplishments. It
is also used for ceremonial and spiritual purposes.

                           5. Blackwork Tattoo Style

                          Generally speaking, blackwork is a
                          broad term; it can be used in any
                          kind of body art with black ink and
                          geometric structures.

            You can also research Dotwork, Geometric,
            Minimalism, Anime, Japanese style and many
                  others.
