Why are traditional Japanese tattoos so cheap?

The reason why traditional Japanese tattoos are cheap is because the tattoo technology is not high and there are not many tattoo patterns. According to relevant public information, the earliest Japanese tattoos were not tattoos, but engravers carved patterns on the human body, which was considered as "human body carving". At that time, there were few designs and the technology was not mature, so the identity of the engraved person must be the lowest person who was bought and sold.
