What does tattoo mean?

Tattoo is a kind of living painting. Tattooing is to draw a variety of tattoo patterns on people, and then dip a needle into various pigments that are not in people's bodies and inject them into the epidermis of the skin, so that they precipitate under the skin and form indelible color blocks with stable colors and bright colors, which is called pigmentation in medicine.

Tattooing is a magical art, which makes people feel that it is the most unique art. Tattoos are found all over the world. It has been found from Alaska to Shangjiba, from the Egyptian pyramid period to the present era. Today, this art has developed to a popular level. People find that tattoos are the only way to satisfy their personal desires from different lifestyles.

More often, tattoos are always associated with crime in traditional concepts. It must be admitted that many criminals do have tattoos, but it is superficial in cognition and misunderstanding in concept to regard tattoos as a representative of depravity.

Tattoos (in English) can also be written as tattoos, also called tattoos. They use colored needles to penetrate the bottom layer of the skin and create some patterns or words on the skin. That is, to pierce the skin and paint the wound to make the body have permanent patterns. The practice of causing bumps, stripes and scars on the skin is sometimes called tattooing. Plain tattoos are practiced in most parts of the world, but they are not practiced by people with darker skin. It is also rare in China in the past hundred years. Many ethnic groups believe that tattoos can prevent diseases and disasters. Some ethnic groups also use tattoos to show their status, identity or membership of a certain group, but the most common motivation is for beauty.
