Tatoo and piercing are some of the types of body arts people use in designing their bodies. Tattoos and piercing have an age long history. Thousands of years ago, people had some form of arts on their bodies which they mainly used for fashion.
Tatoo is a type of body art in which inks, dyes and pigments are used create designs on the dermis layer of the skin. Piercings are the holes people create on their bodies for fashion and aesthetic reasons. The holes you see on people’s ear, navel, nose, mouth and even private parts are types of piercing.

There are a lot of companies and individuals who do tattoos and piercings for people in Nigeria. However, you should seek for professionals. Patronising unprofessional beauty artists can make you contact dreaded diseases like the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) and hepatitis.
The use of unsterilized equipments can negatively impact your health.
If you live in cities like Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt, please endeavor to patronize beauty shops that are known for delivering good services.
Never patronize tattoo and piercing artists who carry out their jobs in strange places like under the bridge or any unhygienic location.
Some of the ways you can know a good tattoo or piercing shop are:
- The beauty artists must have an outlet in an easily accessible location
- The tatoo and piercing artists must operate from a clean location
- The tattoo artist must have easily verifiable references
- The beauty artist must have clean and the right equipments etc.
