=Title:Ink= =**Learning How To Tattoo**= =Fidel Carreno= = = =My Topic and a Little Bit About It...= Tattoos are pieces of art that are punctured in the skin using a needle and ink. They are painful and permanent. A tattoo will last forever and cannot be completely removed. Tattoos can become infected so they should be well taken care of after they are done until they heal.Tattoos are to be taken serious not only because they last forever but because a tattoo says a lot about a person.

Tattoos have been around for many years and have more to them than just art. Tattoos can used in many different ways. Thousands of years ago people considered them as symbolic body art. Tattoos have been dated to as far back as 3300 b.c..During these dates tattooing may have been used as a sign of social class.

Now tattoos are used for various reasons. People may just think of it as "trendy". Others find a lot of meaning in tattoos they get. Some people get tattoos of a loved one marked in their skin. Some might get a tattoo of a fallen loved one as a symbol that they wont be forgotten. There are many good ways to use this art and different ways to express it.
