Tattoos are permanent markings in the skin made by way of ink and needles. Once ink is deposited into the second layer of skin known as the dermis, the wound scabs over and the skin heals to expose a design under the new layer. The practice is now an acceptable form of body art. Depending on where you reside, there may be certain age restrictions that might dictate the minimum age for getting a tattoo. Whether it be a memorial piece or one that expresses interests, hobbies, or even love themes, tattoos are rich in cultural history and deserve a bit of respect.
