TATTOO
TATAU
The word "tattoo" is a borrowing of the Samoan word tatau, meaning to mark or strike twice (the latter referring to traditional methods of applying the designs).
"Samoan= the Polynesian language of the Samoans
Polynesian= the islands of the central & S Pacific including Hawaii, the Line, Phoenix, Tonga, Cook, & Samoa islands, Tuvalu, Easter Island, French Polynesia, & often New Zealand"
Etymology:
Pronunciation: \ta-ˈtü\ Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Tahitian tatau, noun, tattoo [Date: 1769]
1 : to mark or color (the skin) with tattoos
2 : to mark the skin with (a tattoo)
based on Merriem Webster
The first syllable "ta", meaning "hand", is repeated twice as an onomatopoeic reference to the repetitive nature of the action, and the final syllable "U" translates to "color". The instrument used to pierce the skin in Polynesian tattooing is called a hahau, the syllable "ha" meaning to "strike or pierce".
The OED gives the etymology of tattoo as "In 18th c. tattaow, tattow.
From Polynesian (Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan, etc.) tatau. In Marquesan, tatu." The first closest known usage of the word in English was recorded in the diary of Captain James Cook in 1769 during his voyage to the Marquesas Islands.
The text reads, “...they print signs on people’s body and call this tattaw”,
referring to the Polynesian customs.
Sailors on the voyage later introduced
both the word and reintroduced the concept of tattooing to Europe.
Horimono
In Japanese the most common word used for traditional designs is, "Horimono".
The traditional Japanese hand method is called, "Tebori".
The word, "Irezumi," simply means, "insertion of ink," and could mean tattoos using Tebori, or Western style machine, (Or for that matter, any method of tattoing using insertion of ink).
Japanese may use the word, "Tattoo," to mean non-Japanese styles.
Tattoo enthusiasts may refer to tattoos as, "Tats," "Ink," "Art," or, "Work,"
and to tattooists as, "Artists". The latter usage is gaining greater support,
with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of both traditional and custom tattoo designs. Copyrighted tattoo designs that are mass-produced and sold to tattoo artists are known as flash, a notable instance of industrial design. Flash sheets are prominently displayed in many tattoo parlors for the purpose of providing both inspiration and ready-made tattoo images to customers.
Attention after the finishing tattoo
MAINTENANCE:
Taking care of a new tattoo can prevent health problems and protect the quality of the image. Most artists give clients a pamphlet that explains all the necessary procedures. Customers generally receive instructions to:
1.Remove the bandage one to two hours after completion.
2.Wash gently with cool or lukewarm water, using a mild antibacterial soap.
3.Pat dry. (Don't rub!)
4.Apply very thin coats of antibacterial ointment and work into the skin. Too much ointment can pull color out of the tattoo.
5.Avoid soaking the tattoo in water or letting the shower pound directly on it.
6.Avoid the sun, sea and swimming pool until healed.
7.Refrain from picking at scabs. They will fall off as the tattoo heals, usually in one to three weeks.
8.Use ice packs if swelling or redness occurs.
9.Call a doctor if you have even the slightest signs of infection.
MY Friend tattooed 2 years ago,
he said after finished tattooing, he bring the bandage to sleep and take it off tommorrow morning.
and then he showered with warm water. use soap and rub the tattoo.
as the result, he gets the color of his tattoo become more grainy

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense, and fiction is the truth inside the lie,
There was never a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn't be. He is too many people if he's any good. To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things and imagination is the living power also prime agent of all human perception.
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of.
