Tattoo art ... or not ??

Hello to all!)
What do you know about tattoos ?? How do you feel about them?
Tattooing is a very interesting process of applying permanent pigment to the body!
Do you consider this skill to be art?)
People learned to apply indelible drawings to the body much earlier than to process iron.
Some archaeological finds confirm that in this way people adorned almost three thousand years before our era. The art of tattooing existed among all peoples, however, they were fond of it to varying degrees.
In Europe, tattoos have been practiced since the Neolithic. The ancient Germans and Celts covered their bodies with solid patterns.
Descriptions of these tattoos were given by Julius Caesar in his notes on the Gallic war. Amazing art in creating the most complex tattoos have reached the inhabitants of Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
In Japan, Yakuza members covered their bodies with extensive tattoos as a sign of belonging to a particular group.
In the nineteenth century, Japanese authorities even banned tattoos, and this ban lasted until 1948.
The peoples of Europe and the United States are indifferent to bodymodification, according to statistics, every second resident of these countries is decorated with a tattoo.
Mexico, in which different faiths coexist together, has exactly the same calm attitude to tattooing. Pictures usually choose bright, with a rich color scheme.
And the countries, whose peoples profess the Koran, are forbidden to apply a tattoo so as not to defame the body created by the Creator perfectly.
Today, a tattoo enjoys the status of a type of avant-garde art, and its fans can freely adorn themselves with the most fantastic drawings.
As for me, opinions and views on this art form will always and everywhere be different.
What do you think of this culture?)
