A tattoo is a form of body decoration that has existed since antiquity; however, over time, the motivations behind it have changed. 

From being a community, social identity, or religious symbol, a tattoo has become a manifestation of a person's individuality. As a consequence, a tattoo is now chosen for its aesthetic value or as a way to commemorate one's personal history.

Recently, however, the "cover-up" tattoo is becoming very popular. This is a tattoo that transforms scars and unsightly marks on the body into artistic masterpieces! Here are some interesting examples.
