The patterns are mainly soldiers and dragons and tigers, and the social atmosphere is strong. Many people do it in prison, because tattoos are only black, not special tattoo pigments, and the color will turn blue after a long time, so they are also called tattoos. Since the pre-Qin era, the punishment of torture is to tattoo prisoners' faces as a warning. In ancient books, there have been stories of tattooing, carving, tying, pointing and carving, such as mother-in-law tattooing. In The Water Margin, at least three important figures have tattoos: Shang Lu, Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin and the prodigal Yan Qing. In ancient Egypt, tattoos were used to show social status. In Victorian England, women tattooed red on their lips, which is similar to modern beauty methods such as lips and eyebrows. Therefore, tattoos began to break away from the negative impression brought by some punishments and evolved into a personal decoration. In many cultures, tattoos are a tradition and a symbol of social class and status. Tattoos are developed on the basis of tattoos, using electric tattoo machine and special pigments, with rich colors and more patterns. With the development of society, tattoo has become a multi-disciplinary comprehensive art form integrating art, culture, medicine and psychology, and it has a certain margin.
