What does the art of tattoo hide?
Even in the twentieth century, the tattoo was considered as an attribute which has been extended among seamen and criminals. Now the situation has cardinally changed, almost a third part of the young population dreams to make a tattoo. Thus, they try to pay a tribute to fashion and to seem modern in a circle of friends.
Tattoo art exists for many centuries. Among the natives of wild islands, tattoos had ritual character. And on the contrary, it was not accepted to make a tattoo among pagans. Some people think that modern tattoos involve new values. Sometimes such hobby reaches to point of irrationality. Nowadays everybody makes tattoos starting from children and finishing the pensioners.
Tattoo masters say that there are more of those who want to make a tattoo, rather than those who would like from it to get rid. Young men who are under the influence of fashion, after a couple of years come to the salon with the begging request to get rid of the picture. Of course, the removal procedure of a tattoo costs much more expensive, than to make it. You can remove your picture by plastic operation or laser surgery. But even such methods leave scars on the skin.
Such a raised desire to decorate your body with a picture is only a whim which sooner or later becomes irrelevant and unreliable. And only a nonprofessionally made tattoo remains an incorrigible stain on your body forever.
Tattoo history
The tattoo represents a special kind of a taboo that is widely presented in the world, on the same level with other traditions, like covering the body with small hems making it look like crocodile skin, flattening breasts at young girls, or stretching necks with wire rings, etc. Actually, the tattoo is a certain picture that usually has its own sense, made by injection of color paint under the skin.

If military men made tattoo mainly to leave the memory about their service, to brighten up a pastime, to prove that they are men, etc., prison tattoo patterns have turned to difficult language that was clear only to the devoted.
