ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tattoo

A tattoo is like a really cool sticker that goes on your skin forever! But it's not like a temporary sticker that you can take off easily, it's permanent.

When you get a tattoo, a special pen called a tattoo gun pushes ink into your skin using tiny needles. This process can hurt a little bit, like a bee sting, but some people think it's worth it for the awesome designs they get to show off.

It's important to think really hard about the tattoo design you want because you'll have it for the rest of your life. Some people get tattoos to remember someone they love, or to express their personality, or just because they think it looks really cool.

After getting a tattoo, it's important to take good care of your skin to make sure it heals properly. You should keep the skin clean and dry, and avoid exposing it to sunlight or abrasive materials.

Tattoos can be a really fun and unique way to express yourself, but it's important to make sure you're ready for the commitment before getting one.
