Tattoos in history

By the 1800's tattoos were very
popular with sailors. It was important
to sailors to look different from normal
people.
Tattoo design taken from the skin of
an 18th century sailor.
Do you know how tattoos are made?
Step one:               Choose a design

 First go to a tattoo studio with
 a good tattoo artist.
 Choose a design from the
 artist's catalogue (a special
 book of designs)
 Or tell the artists what you
 want and ask her to design
 something new.
Step two:                  Make a stencil
 Your design is printed
 on special stencil
 paper.
 Your skin is sterilised
 to kill all the germs.
 The stencil is put on
 the skin and when it is
 pulled off an outline
 stays on your skin.
Step three:                      Trace the outline


The tattoo artist uses a special
 outlining needle to trace the
 outline left by the stencil on
           your skin.
The needle puts ink in the second layer of skin
             called the dermis
Step four:                     Add shading & colour



 A different needle is used to
fill in the outline with shading
             or colour.


Sometimes this takes more
      than one day.
Step five:        Bandage the tattoo




   The tattoo must be bandaged for a few
        days so it won't get infected.
Research
I interviewed 10 people with tattoos to find out
what types of tattoos are most popular, how
long it takes to get a tattoo and how many
tattoos most people have.


         Here's what I found out...
How many tattoos?
How many tattoos?
Half only had 1

                       2 to          Tattoos
Half had more than   5Tattoos
one                               1
                                Tattoo
20% had more than
20 tattoos
How long does it take?
Small tattoos = 1 to 2
hours
Large tattoos - 8 to 9
hours
Very large tattoos =
24 hours!!
Does it hurt?
8 out of 10 people said...


 YES!! A lot!
      But it's worth it.
Why do people get
         tattoos?
To show others what they believe in.
To remember an important event like the birth
of a child or falling in love.
To look cool or fashionable
For religious reasons.
Facts
You have to be 16 to get a tattoo.
Tattoos are permanent so you should be very
careful making your decision.
It can be a little painful.
Americans spend $10 billion a year on tattoos.
Here are a few photos:
Cat has over 40 tattoos, all abstract
             patterns.
