Tattoos were once very frowned upon because those who wore them came from the wrong strata of society, i.e. convicts and who had been in jail. Today ideas have changed radically and anyone, regardless of gender or age (within the limits of the law) can have tattooed writing, symbols or colored illustrations all over their body. The subjects of tattoos have gradually changed over time, although old icons are often used, such as swallows, hearts, stars and daggers. Whatever the choice of the subject, the important thing is to choose a professional cafefully: you don't go with "what costs less", with the idea of saving, because a tattoo is a design that will remain indelibly on your skin (more or less) and it would be a disaster if whoever executed it had no idea how to draw. Yet, around the world there are many tattoo artists - not worthy of the name - who pretend to be great artists. Here are their "masterpieces":
