Unlike other ways to change your appearance - hairstyles or makeup - the tattoo remains forever. It is no coincidence that in the eyes of many ancient peoples, its application was not easy to think about. The people of Borneo once believed that their drawings acted like torches, illuminating the path of the dead in the pitch darkness of the realm of the dead. The ancient Greeks and Romans used tattoos as punishment. For the Altai Scythians, the tattoo served as the embodiment of the sacred text.
