A Tattoo is a design in ink or some other pigment, usually decorative or symbolic, placed permanently under the skin. In technical terms, tattooing is micro-pigment implantation. Tattoos are a type of body modification.

The origin of the word tattoo is usually traced to the Tahitian tatu or tatau, meaning to mark or strike (the latter referring to traditional methods of applying the designs). In Japanese the word used for traditional designs or those that are applied using traditional methods is irezumi ("insertion of ink"), while "tattoo" is used for non-Japanese designs.

Most tattoo enthusiasts refer to tattoos as art or (art)work, and to tattooists as artists. This usage is gaining support, with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of tattoo designs and photographs of tattoos.

Baby, Your Touch Gives Me Melanoma. Oh, Wait. That's Just a Tattoo

Earlier we explored messages that only appear in photographs.

Super rad people who want to rent a house..or something! (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)

Hi! My name is Falco..or Amber if you wanna get all kinds of perfessional on me, and I need some rad kiddos who are intersted in moving into a house, or a 3 bedroom apartment. Some about me.. I'm 19, work 2 jobs, and work 7 days a week from the hours of 11-10 most nights. I'm pretty clean with most things I do, other than my room and my car. Those are my spaces, and they can be an oderly mess at times. However, I do a lot of house keeping, and don't mind at all. I have no pets, only a pair of Docs that are my like my baby. I have a mohawk, 8 tattoos, and work at a tattoo shop, learning to pierce. As well as a food industry. I'm not in school yet, but plan to be soon. I drink at times, am 420 friendly, but don't use, I am a smoker, I watch a crap load of movies, eat meat only twice a week, and only eat chicken when I do eat meat. I try to go to a lot of shows, listen to a lot of music, and love to be random. Now..you should be.. Open minded! I don't care if you're a girl or guy, a nerd, a freak, gay, straight..whatever. Just be chill, don't drink to much, and don't use heavy drugs. Don't try and bring the party home with you, and I wouldn't mind have a few (as in 2) people over. Stuff happens, and people need a place to crash. I would like you to be male.. simply because drama tends to happen with girls, and I can't stand that. You need to have a steady job, know how to laugh, and not hide all day in your room. I see having roommates as having a family, although you don't have to tell me every detail of your life, I do like to know people that are going to be living with me. The place! I'm looking at a few places, and just need a few people to join in. I would love to rent a house. I can affored about 600 a month, and can easily affored more if I up my hours. An 3 bedroom apartment would be amazing as well. I'm looking to stay in this area for awhile, until I've learned all I need to learn at the shop. So! if your intersted, e-mail me! I will try and get back to you as soon as I can! If you need to contact me right away, because I know you're so excited about this idea..text me at 509-638-5250. You can call, but chances are, I am working. Until next time.. --Falco
