What is Tai Chi embroidery?

Square eyebrows promote ancient style, and the pattern operation is true. Solve the problem, realize the essence, and the wonderful hand will embroider the beauty of spring. Out of my love for China's traditional culture, during my professional tattoo career of more than 20 years, I have been devoted to interpreting the techniques and methods of modern decorative arts with the essence and aesthetic concept of China's traditional culture through the stage of learning and imitation. And it is unique in the industry-Fang's Tai Chi embroidery. The author's stage name and screen name "Fstj Embroidery" express this meaning, which is composed of the first four characters, the first letter of pinyin and the last Chinese character "Embroidery", and is called Taiji Embroidery for short.

~ ~ ~ Decorative art is both old and young. It is ancient because it originated from the ancient tattoos in China two or three thousand years ago. It is young because Zheng Mingming, the godmother of Hong Kong-style beauty, improved the eyebrow tattoo technique, which has been used only for eyebrow tattoo for more than 40 years. Eyebrow tattooing is a new attempt by women all over the world to adapt to the needs of the times in the field of modern beauty.

~ ~ ~ Different from the single eyebrow tattoo technique in the past, there are many factions, many technical methods and different decorative tools in the eyebrow tattoo art today. But in the process of decoration, we will meet in design: long and short, high and low, thick and thin, curved and straight; In the process of operation, there will be many tattoo contradictions, such as light and heavy, rigid and soft, sparse and dense, virtual and real, shallow and deep, symmetry and asymmetry. Tattooists need to choose, balance and coordinate the decorative contradictions such as size, length, flatness, thickness, weight, rigidity, depth, density, reality and so on.

~ ~ ~ How to balance, choose and coordinate? The author advocates inheriting and carrying forward some essence thoughts of China's culture and aesthetics in the process of tattoo beauty: it means writing first, embroidering according to people, combining rigidity with softness, integrating nature with man (vivid flexion, concealing reality), neutralizing beauty, and combining virtue with art. These quintessential ideas are the "magic weapon" to solve various tattoo contradictions and problems.

~~~ 1. Pre-conscious writing: a term in China's aesthetic history, which means that an artist must have sufficient aesthetic thinking activities and ideas before writing. The purpose of tattoo beauty is not only to design the tattoo project before tattoo surgery, but also an excellent tattoo artist should have a good understanding of the characteristics of the tattoo project, such as the growth law of eyebrows, the direction of lines, arrangement and so on. Strengthen this training at ordinary times, and then you can write with the help of God.

~~~2. Embroidering for different people: The application of China idioms in the field of tattoos varies from person to person. The natural conditions of beauty seekers before ornamentation: the innate basic conditions of ornamentation; Skin characteristics: oily or dry, the strength of coagulation mechanism and their own aesthetic consciousness all require tattoo artists to make appropriate and corresponding adjustments in decoration design, operation methods, material selection and color matching.

~~~3. Combination of rigidity and softness: The combination of rigidity and softness is a difficult problem for many tattoo artists. On the basis of understanding and mastering the skin structure and physiological function, tattoo artists need to overcome this difficulty through repeated practice and practice.

~~~4. Harmony between man and nature: emphasizing that people's aesthetic consciousness should conform to nature, and advocating that artistic creation should be good at observing the essence of things. Tattooing beauty has its particularity, and the finished work has a great contrast with the decoration effect in the next few months. The changing process needs the tattoo artist to explain clearly to the beauty seeker, so as to avoid the beauty seeker from misjudging the decorative effect.

~~~5. Vivid flexion: Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has affirmed and yearned for the beauty of curves, and the idea of taking music as beauty has also been enjoyed by various traditional artistic aesthetics. In tattoo beauty, beautiful and smooth shape; The slender and clear arc is also what most people want, need and like to see.

~~~6. Concealment of reality and falsehood: the term used by Liu Xizai, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, is the skill and method of artistic creation and appreciation. Art works (decorative works) can only achieve the artistic realm of harmony between man and nature if there is truth in emptiness, truth in emptiness, mutual blending and no trace.

~~~7. Harmony is beauty: Dong Zhongshu's term in the Western Han Dynasty refers to all the beauty of society, which is based on the "similarity" with the natural beauty of heaven and earth. Decorative beauty is a lasting cosmetic technique, which is not easy to change once it is finalized. This requires the tattoo artist to consider these specific conditions in the design, color matching and operation according to the specific conditions of the tattoo site of the beauty seeker, such as face characteristics, skin color status, professional characteristics and personal requirements, and make corresponding adjustments to make the tattoo effect have a moderate and neutral aesthetic feeling.

~~~8. Virtue and art: To describe a person's virtue and art, you must have a good reputation. This requires tattoo artists to have excellent skills and good professional ethics. So don't exaggerate the decorative effect too much; Don't fool or cheat the tattoo price; Safe and aseptic handling of materials; Do a good job in post-embroidery service,
