A tattoo is a design, a pattern or marking made by the insertion of a dye into pores of the skin by perforating the skin with immense caution. In scientific terminology, tattooing is actually micro-pigment implantation. Tattoos are considered a type of body modification. Generally tattoo aficionados refer to tattoos as tats, ink, art or work. In the world of tatoos, the tatootist is known as an artist. This practice is gaining global approval and many mainstream art galleries hold exhibitions of tattoo designs and tattoo photographs. Tattoo designs are popularly known as flash. Tattoos are binding and cannot be erased in a normal way by washing by using any kind of commercial soap.

Tattoo designs often reflect the personality of the person wearing them. They are imprinted on different parts of the body. Often a person who is purchasing a tattoo searches through many designs before deciding on the design that is a perfect match.
