The origin of tattoos

The predecessor of tattoo is tattoo. Before tattoo machine appeared, he used a needle dipped in ink to stab the patterns one by one. The pattern is dominated by soldiers and dragons, and the social atmosphere is strong. A lot of people are like this in prison. Because tattoos are only black, not a special tattoo pigment, the color will turn blue after a long time, so they are also called tattoos.

Since the pre-Qin era, the punishment of torture is to tattoo the prisoner's face as a warning. In ancient books, there have been stories of tattooing, carving, tying, pointing and carving, such as mother-in-law tattooing. In The Water Margin, at least three important figures have tattoos: Shang Lu, Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin and the prodigal Yan Qing. In ancient Egypt, tattoos were used to show social status. In Victorian England, women tattooed red on their lips, which was similar to the modern beauty methods of permanent makeup such as lips and eyebrows. As a result, tattoos began to gradually break away from the negative impression of some punishments on tattoos and evolved into a personal decoration.

In many cultures, tattoos are a tradition and a symbol of social class and status. Tattoos are developed on the basis of tattoos, using electric tattoo machine and special pigments, with rich colors and more patterns. With the development of society, tattoo has become a multidisciplinary and comprehensive art form.
