Tattoos


What are Tattoos & where did they originate from?

Whether they are on arms, legs, ankles or buttocks, tattoos are painted all over our bodies by injecting ink into our skin. Ink is injected by a needle attached to a hand held tool into the cells of the dermis - a section of our skin that keeps tattoos from fading and stretching.

Decorating our bodies with tattoos is popular among many people.

The word, tatto originates from the Tahitian word tatu, which means "to mark", it was first mentioned in explorer James Cook's Record from his 1769 expedition to the South Pacific. However some scientists beleive that the earliest known eveidence of tattooing dats back to markings found on the skin of the Iceman, a mummified human body that goes back as 3300 B.C.

Tattoos can have many meanings to many different people, encraving their lovers name onto each other may show the power of love. But dont you think that there are many other ways of showing your love to one person rather than hurting or damaging your body?

Also what example is shown to kids nowadays, celebrities showing off their bodies and encouraging youngsters to be like them and wanting extreme body designs.
