The adornment of the human body with a variety of jewelry achieved through the use of a variety of ingredients can be traced back to very early periods in human history. Why is decoration necessary? Is this just a consequence of the need to please others and appear beautiful, or are there other additional factors at play? Tattooing something means applying a dye, which cannot be completely removed by the body’s natural processes, to the surface of the dermis by a specific method. To reach deeper layers of the skin, a pointed instrument is used to create a hole or incision. These incisions are then colored with the appropriate pigment using a tool that resembles a combination of a needle and a spike. Alternatively, the leather can be perforated with a needle, then a dye-coated thread is passed through the leather and the dye is inserted underneath the leather. This method is practiced by the Eskimos. Another method is to apply a mixture of gunpowder and salt and pepper to the wounds after they have been opened, then light the mixture. After any of these operations, and especially the process of burning the skin, a light blue or dark green sting will be left on the surface of the skin and never disappear.
