What is Tattooing?

Tattooing is one of the oldest forms of art used to decorate the body. People often get tattoos to express their individuality or represent meaning.

Tattooing involves puncturing the skin with a group of tiny needles that contain dyes to achieve a permanent design or mark. Tattooing requires a steady hand and attention to detail. Tattoo artists use an electrically powered, vibrating instrument to inject the tattoo pigment 50 to 3,000 times per minute into the second layer of the skin (dermis). A single needle outlines the tattoo and the design is then filled in with five to seven needles in a needle bar.
