The most common explanation for why people get tattoos is idleness.
But experts do not agree that people decide to paint this or that part of their body only because they have nothing better to do. And it is not even a banal desire to be different from everyone else.
Just the facts
During the research, scientists were able to establish that a new tattoo and its subsequent display gives a person pleasure.
The process of applying a design to the skin increases the level of endorphin, which dulls the pain and causes some euphoria.
Main reasons
There could be many more reasons, but the researchers named the following three as the main ones.
Firstly, it may be a memory of an event from past years.
Secondly, it is a sign of distinction or belonging to a subculture.
Thirdly, the desire to be known as original.
In addition, there is an opinion that body tattoos in some sense make a person more “competitive”, attractive and even demonstrate physical superiority.
But overall, researchers unanimously agree that tattoos can no longer be seen as a sign of belonging to the criminal world.
In the modern world, tattoos are, if not art, then definitely a way of expressing one’s own individuality.
