Story on the backTattoo Designs
A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.

DOES IT HURT?
This article is based on this interrogative that it's commonly asked by anyone new to this. The final answer is yes. Having needles pierce your tegument *does* make you suffer. But what you *really* need to do is ask yourself, "Can I handle the pain, and can I manipulate it?"
It's not nearly as bad as what you can imagine.The symptoms present may vary according to where on your embody you get worked on. Skin or above the maraca (bone, astragal, etc.) tend to hurt less than other added areas. Also take note that some types of needles seem to spite more than others. I personally judge the needles used for outlining that produce a sharper cut .
Think about all I will present here before volunteering to get a tattoo.
Bottom Line: Do not rub with alcohol and don't take drugs before a tattoo sessions. Both aspirin and alcohol thin your blood and promote excessive bleeding. Aspirin also decreases the clotting of blood, which will slow down your healing as well.

SHOULD I GET A TATTOO ?
Your answer to this question might not be so clear. Statistically one of 163 tattooed men and women had regretted their tattoos! By reading this article about getting a tattoo you will be able to decide for yourself knowing both the pros and disadvantages to this.

HOW TO GET RID OF A TATTOO?
This is NOT easy at all, and is NOT cheap. Expect to pay $1,000 to remove even a fairly small-sized tattoo if you're looking at laser surgery. Expect to have a noticeable ugly scar if you go with a non-laser technique. Expect to pay for every penny out of your own pocket because health insurance companies will not pay for tattoo removal. There may not be a laser surgery specialist in your area.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT A TATTOO IN THE FIRST PLACE?
People get tattoos for different reasons. Is it to please your partner?
Is it because you want to belong to a group that has tattoos? Do you identify with a certain subculture known for tattoos? Do you want to show your independence, individuality or uniqueness?
These are all valid reasons, and why many people get tattooed. However, because of the permanency of your tattoo, try to look at yourself in 5, 10, or even 20 years. What will you be doing at that time? You might be a free-spirited college student now, and a web of vines on your wrist would look really lovely. However, are you planning to work in a very conservative field after you graduate? Will others look at your tattoo in a bad way? Will you have to hide it with long sleeve shirts?
Are you willing to wear long sleeve shirts if the environment is negative?
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamarah and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.
