There are also tattoos for criminals, which might be a good idea to implement here in are western society. The most extensive and exquisite tattooing takes place in the Marquesas. Tahiti and many other places have adopted their styles. Some have tattoos with very intricate detail, while others tell a story, and yet others might be very extensive and cover the entire body. Many methods are used for these tattoos.
Some places have modern equipment while others still use traditional ways.
For health and safety reasons the governments have tried to enforce modern ways, but few who still act in tradition ther is only one way. By stretching the skin and using a bone chisel the tattoo is imprinted deep into the skin and also shows bravery due to the pain it causes. It is hit into the area by a small mallet, some can be anywhere from 2cm to 10 cm wide. Polynesian has suddenly become a cool thing to be, and tattooing is just one of the ancient ways that has resurged due to this. More information will be added as I learn.
