A tatouage is a permanent design or image that is created by injecting ink into the skin. It is a form of body art that can have personal, cultural, or artistic significance.
Getting a tattoo is like painting a mural on your skin. Just as a mural tells a story or represents something meaningful, a tattoo can be a visual representation of your identity or experiences.
