Tattoos have been recorded in China since ancient times. Since the pre-Qin period, the punishment of torture is to tattoo the prisoner's face. In China's ancient books, there have been words such as tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, tattoo, etc., and there are other examples of using tattoo as a warning, such as the story of my mother-in-law's tattoo.

Tattooing originated in China, but it was originally a punishment. Because ancient people have a deep concept of "parents who are rich in the flesh", cutting hair is a punishment, not to mention the indelible words/patterns on their tattoos.

Later, the slaves had tattoos or totems on their faces, which proved that "slaves belong to my family", so that even if the slaves ran away, others would know whose slaves they were and would be brought back ... This was found in ancient countries such as China and Egypt.

Really let tattoos evolve into a kind of "decoration" ~ starting with eyebrow tattoo and lip tattoo. In fact, tattoos have become a personal symbol and decoration in the later stage of development, which can be seen from the Water Margin ~

There are many sayings that tattoos were introduced into Europe. What I mentioned in my paper at that time was that there was an old sailor with a totem tattoo on a huge ship full of goods (local products) from Asia. When unloading goods on the Mediterranean coast, many upper-class people in Europe saw it for the first time, knew it for the first time, and then evolved themselves ~

The rise of tattoos in the United States is mainly due to the world war. At that time, many American soldiers had tattoos of eagles and anchors on their thick heads, which made tattoos an artistic expression popular ~
