American tattoos are not only common, but even popular.
Because the American social atmosphere is relatively open and the management of college students is not so strict, tattooed college students can be seen everywhere.
Another reason is that some areas are dominated by gangs, especially some poor areas, because the gang culture in America is very strong.
Tattoos have become the symbol of gangs, and different gangs have different styles of tattoos. It can also be said that you can tell which gang it belongs to when you see the tattoo.
The Origin of American Tattooing Habits During World War II, some soldiers tattooed recognizable patterns on their bodies in case they really encountered misfortune and their families could recognize them at a glance.
Later, tattoos gradually became a way for young Americans to pursue individuality and record their lives.
