The spelling and meaning of the word "tattoo" has changed with the passing of time. The word tattoo comes from the the Polynesian word "tatau". It was later changed and modified for spelling and pronunciation to better fit English phonology. Before the word "tattoo" was introduced the practice had been referred to as painting, pricking, or staining.
There are four types of tattoos: Traumatic tattoos, amateur tattoos, professional tattoos, cosmetic tattoos, and medical tattoos.
Traumatic tattoos are typically gained by accident. A traumatic tattoo, also sometimes referred to as a "natural tattoo" are a result of injuries that have had some kind of substance put under the skin. A common occurrence of this is when you are stabbed with a pencil and a gray mark is left behind.
Amateur tattoos and professional tattoos are used as identification, body art, rites of passage, and status symbols.
Cosmetic tattoos are most commonly used as a form of permanent makeup. Most commonly women will shave the hair on their face off and tattoo eyebrows in place in order to eliminate upkeep.
