Tattoos are consider body art. They are permanent marks that expresses a persons feelings or creativity. I particularly like they idea of tattoos because they allow me to be creative. They also force me to push my artistic boundary by trying to do something or come up with ideas that have never been done.


Tattoos are done with a needle and ink. First the picture or words that you want are drawn on with a marker or pen as an outline. Then the needle is used along with the ink to permantly imprint the design into your skin. If this is done the wrong way there can be some terrible results. For example, if a needle is not changed or cleaned properly, diseases can be transfered. But if it is done correctly then it can be a nice work of art. Tattoos can be placed basically anywhere on the body. Then range from the head, neck, back, chest, thigh, arm, foot, and even they eye.

I only have few things that i really want to know about tattoos. Who was the first person to come up with the idea? Why people get so many? Can the process of getting a tattoo become addictive?
