Tattoo

Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. Throughout history, tattoos were mostly worn as decoration. It’s well known that many societies wore tattoos as part of their culture.
A tattoo is a puncture wound, made deep in your skin, that's filled with ink. It's made by penetrating your skin with a needle and injecting ink into the area, usually creating some sort of design. Tattooing was believed to have started in Egypt, before Egypt was even an organized society 6,000 years ago, they have been found on mummified body since 3300 B.C. From Egypt tattooing was later spread and shared with other parts of Africa, into Asia, and Pacific islands through trade lines and travelers. Every culture since has tattooed themselves in one form or another, for reasons of spirituality, protection, strength, and history. Tattoos have been marks that the bearer is very proud of, or ashamed to wear. Today, tattoos are becoming less taboo and more accepted as cleaner and the advances in color and other tattoo equipment have made tattoos more than just a symbol or a testimony, but a real piece of art on skin.
