🎧 One Sentence Introduction!

• Tattoos have been around for thousands of years, shifting from healing rituals to criminal marks, from sacred symbols to today’s Instagram trends. Different cultures gave them different meanings: in China, they were tied to Confucian conservatism or punishment; in Japan, linked to the Yakuza; in the West, embraced by sailors, bikers, and now mainstream youth. Despite stigma in parts of East Asia, tattoos are becoming more accepted among younger generations, especially with rising interest in “national style” designs. What makes tattoos fascinating is how they mix history, culture, and personal identity. At the end of the day, a tattoo is not just ink — it’s a story carried on skin.

🎧 一句话总结中文版！

• 纹身已经有几千年历史，从最早的治病祈福，到刑罚烙印，再到今天的潮流符号。不同文化赋予它不同含义：中国有儒家思想的限制，日本与黑帮挂钩，西方则被水手、机车族接受，如今更进入主流。尽管在东亚仍有偏见，但年轻人已把纹身看作时尚与自我表达，尤其是“国潮纹身”越来越火。纹身之所以迷人，在于它融合了历史、文化与身份认同。归根结底，纹身不只是皮肤上的图案，而是随身携带的故事。
