around
the
world
are
getting
tattoos
(

).

more and more women are now getting tattoos.

tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native
Americans
tattooed
themselves
as
a
sign
of
bravery.
In
Nazi
Germany
Jews
were
marked
with a number to tell who they were.
Not only has
tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also
on the increase. Many people just don't realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and
at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing
