TATTOO'S

Tattooing has been around since ancient times and its presence in our mainstream society is not going to fade away anytime soon. In 3 percent of American households today, at least one of their members has one or more tattoos. At least 12 million Americans have one tattoo.

This decorative artform continues to be a growing attraction to teenagers.
Teens as young as 13 and 14 are getting their first tattoos. It isn't just males who are getting them, over the past twenty years the number of women getting tattoos has quadrupled.

The color additives used in tattooing pigments are the same as those used in cosmetics. They are monitored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and approved for topical application only. There are more than 100 different color variations, but the most common colors are red, green, yellow, blue and white. White is used to mix colors to make color variations.
