A tattoo is a 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.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu,
the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore
facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha
(North Africa), Maori of New Zealand, and Atayal
of Taiwan with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread
among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal
groups in the Taiwan, 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... |
