题目内容:
Tattoos (纹身) are becoming more and more common. But they are not a new thing. Scientists have found some frozen bodies from around 3,000 BC and their skin shows the marks of tattoos. For example, Otzi, the Iceman (the oldest body ever found), was discovered in the mountains of Austria. He had many different lines and crosses tattooed on his back and his knees.
The most common places to get tattoos are the tops of the arms for men and the bottoms of the backs for women. Any mark can be used but there are some common ideas. Some people like to get animals, like dragons, birds and tigers. Other people like to get something written in a foreign language, so Chinese and Japanese words are common in America and the UK. If you can’t read the language, make sure you get someone to check what they represent because the tattoo artist could write anything and you would never know.
It is a big decision to get a tattoo because they are very difficult to remove. It is possible with expensive laser surgery (激光手术) but this is very painful and amazingly expensive and the skin will never be perfect afterwards. You want to do a test, to see how you look with a tattoo, you can get a temporary tattoo which disappears after about a month. This kind is very popular in India, where people often have them for festivals.
In some countries, such as Japan and Korea, tattoos are still connected with law-breaking activities and it isn’t normal to see a tattoo in public. In many places of Europe and America, most people don’t care very much whether you have a tattoo or not, though there are some types of job where they don’t like tattoos. But some Presidents of the USA have had them.
