Abstract
Cosmetic tattoos are in the same family as medical tattoos and conventional cosmetic care and fall within the overall concept of body modification. Each discipline has its own segment of users and its own techniques and professional providers. However, they all serve the higher aim of shaping the skin and the body and improving image and self-esteem.
