SOME INFORMATION ABOUT TATTOOING

A tattoo consists of introducing a small amount of colored ink into the skin with a needle. The ink is introduced in a zone located between the dermis and the epidermis, the introduction of the needle varies from 1 to 4 mm according to the types of skin and the tattooed zones.
