The name tattoo was coined from a Samoan word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to strike’. Tattoos refer to various forms of body modifications where designs are made either by inserting dyes, inks or pigments on the skin. Tattoos can either be temporary or permanent. Tattoos can be drawn for decorative, symbolic or pictorial purposes. Do you know about 14% of Italians on Instagram have tattoos? These are some surprising facts about tattoos that you may not know.
