Tattoos have sprung up in that country. What's the point?

China

Tattoos, commonly known as tattoos, are called nirvana in ancient classical Chinese. They paint an ideal picture on people's monotonous skin and become the eternity of life. As the most beautiful picture of life, retaining memories is not the exclusive mark of bad people. Tattoo patterns are words or patterns.

Meaning:

1. Tattooing is to pierce the bottom layer of the skin with ink and make some patterns or words on the skin. Embroider all kinds of patterns on your body. See luck. Bye.

2. Depicting the ideal picture on people's monotonous skin becomes the eternity of life, and keeping the memory as the most beautiful picture in life. It is the product of the intersection of culture and belief, which makes many people fall in love with this painful beauty and carve tattoos on themselves. Let yourself have a new hope, a new sustenance and a new beginning.

Extended data:

Tattoos have been recorded in China since ancient times. Since the pre-Qin period, the punishment of torture is to tattoo the prisoner's face. In the records of ancient books in China, words such as tattoo, carving, tying green, pointing green and carving green have appeared.

There are other examples of taking tattoos as a warning, such as the story of my mother-in-law's tattoo. But slowly the tattoo evolved into a personal decoration. For example, in Outlaws of the Marsh, one of the four classical novels, at least three important figures have tattoos: Shang Lu, Shijin, Kowloon and Yan Qing, a prodigal son.

Some punishments have a negative impression on tattoos, but in many cultures, tattoos are a symbol of social class and status. Including the Atayal and Xia Serbs in Taiwan Province province, aborigines all over the world have a tradition of tattooing their faces. In ancient Egypt, tattoos were even used to show social status. In Victorian England, women tattooed red on their lips, similar to modern beauty methods such as lips and eyebrows.
