In many countries，tattoos are in fashion （时尚）．On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot．Many sports players have them，too．In the US，tattoos are very popular．Forty percent of Americans aged between 26and 40have a tattoo，and 60percent of customers in US tattoo parlorsare women．These people are often professional people like doctor，teachers and lawyers．
However，tattoos are not modern．In fact，they are very old in human history．For example，archaeologists （考古学家） found a human in ice from 5，000years ago．He had 57tattoos on his back，ankles，legs，knees and feet．Tattoos were used for many different reasons．In ancient Egypt，people got tattoos because they were "beautiful"．But in ancient Rome，tattoos were negative （负面的） and put on criminals and prisoners．In India，tattoos were religious （宗教的）．
