A tattoo is an ink design inserted into the skin, commonly via a needle. The tattoo, in various forms, has been used ornamentally and religiously by humans for thousands of years, with examples of tattoo work found on numerous preserved prehistoric specimens. Humans also use identification tattoos on domesticated animals. Examples of tattoo work can be seen in most human cultures, and despite some social stigma, tattoos are becoming ubiquitous in the West, with an estimated 25% of Americans wearing at least one tattoo by the end of the 20th century.

The word tattoo is likely related to the Samoan tatau, meaning 'to strike or mark'. Tattoos became popularized in the Western world when sailors began to explore the Pacific and return with tattoo work. In Japan, where there is a long historical tradition of tattoo, the word irezumi refers to traditional Japanese tattoos, while tattoo is used in discussions of other types of tattoo art. Tattoo owners sometimes shorten the word to tat or use the terms ink, art, or work to talk about the designs they wear.

Where did tattoos originate? Nobody knows for sure where it originated from. There is evidence that it may be an ancient craft going all the way back to the ice age. There are mummified remains of ancient Egyptians with tattoos.

The word tattoo is believed to originate from the Tahitian word tattau. An entry in Captain James Cook’s journal in the year 1768 mentions the word tattau in his encounter with Polynesians. The Tahitians taught the sailors the craft who in turn taught it to other sailors, and that is why tattoo is often associated with sailors.

Tattoo inks are those colors that are used in making tattoos. In principle, tattoo inks are not exactly tattoo inks. Tattoo inks or the tattoo colors are composed of pigments that are floating in a carrier solution. It is a common belief that tattoo pigments are usually vegetable based dyes, but they aren't. Today's pigments include the original mineral pigments, modern industrial organic pigments, a few vegetable-based pigments and some plastic-based pigments. It is the pigments that provide colors to the tattoos. Carrier plays an important role in disinfecting the pigment suspension and keeping it evenly mixed. It also makes the application part easier. Henna tattoos are nonpermanent dying or staining on the top layer of skin using a henna paste product, the process is called Mehndi. The tattoos are generally an intricate design and brown in color. They will fade in time, about 2-4 weeks, depending on the type of henna that has been used and your teen’s care of the area that was tattooed. It is close to impossible to remove except through the natural fading but, some believe you can speed up the fading by applying hydrogen peroxide to the area daily.
