Tattoos are permanent designs or markings made on the skin by inserting ink or other pigments through puncturing the skin with a needle. This body art form has been practiced across various cultures and societies for centuries, often serving purposes such as personal expression, cultural identity, religious significance, or marking important life events. Tattoo designs can range from simple symbols to complex works of art, and they can be located anywhere on the body. The process of getting a tattoo involves the use of specialized tools and equipment, typically in a sterile environment, to ensure safety and hygiene. Tattoos can vary greatly in style, technique, and meaning, and they often carry personal significance for the individual.
