Tattoos!

Tattoos are permanent markings created by inserting colored materials into the skin's surface. Tattoos are popular all the world over and used to serve as marks of status, ranks as well as for religious and spiritual devotion, decoration for bravery, sexual lures, marks of fertility, amulets and talismans for luck and against evil etc. etc etc When a badly decomposed body was found in a well in Nibong Tebal, Malaysia, a man was asked to identify if the body belonged to his missing brother. Fearing for the worst, the man braced himself as he made his way into the mortuary. A tattoo on the decomposed body however ensured him that his fear was unfounded. Tattoos have more uses than one could imagine! Just have fun going through some of the photos from the Net!

Where would you consider tattooing your arms?


...your feet?...


...your chest?...
...your back?...





...or perhaps... your face?

I know one person that always remembers Hitler when he sees tatoos. Sincerely I don't understand persons with all body covered with real tatoos. Today you like them, but what you will do with them 10 years later when the times and the mind will change?

That's strange; thinking of Hitler when seeing tattoos; I agree with you; don't understand those people; unless of course, they are members of Yakuza! Coming up soon in Dragon Descendants, http://dragondescendents.blogspot.com!

The fascists collected pieces of tattooed skin from killed persons (and killed to have this skin) and made many useful things with this skin. Lampshades, pouches...
