Tattoos(纹身) have been used both to indicate high rank and to brand society’s outcasts(补抛弃者). But perhaps most of all, the permanent designs created by tattoos have been used simply to decorate the human body.
Tattoos are designs made on the body by cutting or picking the skin and inserting(嵌入) pigment, or coloring, into the scratch(划痕). Because the color is under the skin, a tattoo is usually permanent. Devices used to prick the skin have included sharpened bones, thorns, knives, and needles. Some Eskimo and Siberian peoples used a needle to draw a color-coated thread under the skin. A technique similar to tattooing is cicatrisation, in which the skin is cut to create permanent scars. Modern electric needles have refined the tattooing process.
Tattoos have been found on Egyptian mummies dating back to about 2000 BC. They were worn by ancient Greeks, and Britons, by the Japanese, and by tribal peoples in America, New Zealand, and many pacific islands. Their purposes varied. Many people thought tattooed designs were magical protection against misfortune, as do some present-day Arabs who tattoo themselves to ward off evil. Sometimes tattooing was a mark of courage or gave the illusion of courage. The Maoris of New Zealand tattooed elaborate designs on their faces to disguise(掩饰) expressions of fear. Early Japanese wore tattoos to show their rank in society. Tattoos were used in the 19th century to brand criminals and in the 20th century to label inmates of Nazi concentration camps.
Tattooing has always been remarkable in a decorative, cosmetic capacity. Centuries ago Japanese men who bared their chests in their work, such as carpenters, decorated themselves with tattoos. Tattoos were popular among American and European sailors. Though the use of tattoos has declined, it gained publicity in the 1980s as a permanent eyeliner for women. Physicians warned, however, that this could have unwanted side effects. Tattooing has been liked with cancer, and contaminated tattooing equipment can spread diseases, including AIDS.
