A tattoo is when you change the skin by inserting ink into the derm layer of the skin.
Yeah it's a bit painful, but it's worth it!
#dermis How many do you have? I have one that is also a coverup and the 2nd time around it was painful. Also, it's cool that in the old English dictionary it says In 18th c. tattaow, tattow.
I think I have around 7 or 8. It used to be called "tattow"?
Yea lol Also they were regarded as uncivilised and mainly only criminals, working MEN, and sailors had them.
Yeah I think that stigma lasted for quite a long time. It's really only been recently that they have been more mainstream.
Exactly the Western stigma has mostly gone away except for the older generations. Now people of all trades and society levels have them.
Yeah it blew my mind when I was in the hospital once and the doctor had a sleeve of tattoos.
Oh wow I never seen that lol But years ago people like that would be avoided in public places by some. 
Yeah I was actually up for a job as a valet at a fancy hotel recently but I couldn't do it because I have a tattoo on my forearm. That seems so outdated.
