Snakes, roses, dragons, Chinese writing, someone’s name. These are some of the things that people have tattooed on their skin. Tattoos have been placed just about anywhere on the body by those who desire to have this work of art added to their skin. The craze about tattoos has become more intense over the past 10 years. Long before that though, individuals like bike riders and gang members have used tattoos as a means of identifying which side they belong to or to designate their rank within the gang. Nowadays, just about anyone and almost everyone has got, or intends to get, a tattoo. The designs and variations of tattoos are endless as people have their own idea of what it is they want on their skin. In addition, body piercing is taking on a new dimension and has seen an unprecedented rise in popularity over the last few years. People are now piercing their navel, tongue, nose, and other areas that are not visible just by looking at the person.
