Stomach Tattoos

A tattoo is a design created by inserting dark, endurable ink into the outer layer of the skin, also known as the dermis. This ink changes the pigment, that is the color of skin, to the one you want. Tattooing is essentially a body art form which is used to decorate the body with a variety of designs. Its believed that tattooing originated in Japan where the indigenous Ainu people used to paint their faces as part of their tradition. From there it spread to neighboring countries and was practiced worldwide.

Stomach Tattoos

In ancient times, tribal communities used to paint their body or get a tattoo to distinguish themselves from other clans, but today, people express their attitude through tattoos, and the kind of tattoos they wear defines their personality. Earlier, people used to wear tattoos on their hands or back, but as the popularity of tattoos increased, different places to get tattoos done on the body emerged. Stomach tattoos, as the name suggests, are tattoos that are done on the stomach, and due to the large canvas available on the stomach area, this has become a favorite and popular place to get a tattoo done. Another reason for the popularity of these tattoos was that stomach tattoos could be displayed when wanted, and hidden when wanted. Lower stomach tattoos could be easily hidden under clothes during college or work hours and could be shown off in parties by wearing short tops, low waist skirts or jeans.
