Behind the ancient traditional tattoos

There are many traditional habits in the countryside, which have been preserved until now. For example, every year in this flowering season, almost everyone in the village paints their nails with henna color. Old people say that painting henna can make their eyes brighter, which is also a very traditional custom. On the contrary, people are very disgusted with tattoos. Why?

First, body hair and skin are decided by parents.

Since ancient times, all virtues have put filial piety first, which is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. In the filial piety that everyone abides by, it is very important to cherish one's body. What is this called? Parents who suffer from physical pain? . Therefore, when people face tattoos, they will first think of unfilial, thinking that it is a kind of harm to their own bodies, and thus instinctively feel disgusted.

Second, it is inevitable to expose the skin when tattooing.

Nowadays, when choosing tattoos, people often don't choose blatant places. Most people will choose to tattoo a small thing in an inconspicuous place, sometimes it may be for love, or it may be to commemorate other meaningful moments or events, so they will get tattoos. Then under such circumstances, it is inevitable to expose your skin to outsiders. This kind of behavior is very immoral in people's eyes and is considered shameless.

Third, tattoo technology is not very mature.

Nowadays, most people who get tattoos are young people, and because young people are high-spirited, they often choose tattoos on impulse. However, tattoos have great risks and are one of the ways to spread AIDS, which makes many people flinch. And once you regret it, you will suffer great pain if you want to wash off the tattoo, and most of the tattoos can't be washed off, leaving ugly scars, so people can't accept tattoos.
