There are people who wanted to put themselves under a needle, but have ever figured out the reason why people do such? People like it the classic way, and others want it otherwise. Some want to modify certain body part; some is a part of culture- the more tattoo the stronger the person; some is a trend as a part of the fashion industry.

This is the core motive of our existence. We assist people find ways to increase the driving force in setting themselves under the needle mostly tattooing.

There are 4 (four) basic purpose of tattooing:

First; for decorative and spiritual purposes, tattoos have served as rites of passage, marks of status and rank, symbols of religious and spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans, protection, and as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. The symbolism and impact of tattoos varies in different places and cultures. Some common examples these days are Permanent cosmetics and makeup in general.

Second; for identification purposes; people have also been forcibly tattooed for various reasons. A well known example is the identification system for inmates in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. However, tattoos can be linked with identification in more positive ways. For example, in the period of early contact between the Māori and Europeans, Māori chiefs sometimes drew their moko (facial tattoo) on documents in place of a signature.

Third; for cosmetic purposes, this can also be used as a form of cosmetics, tattooing includes permanent makeup and hiding or neutralizing skin discolorations. Permanent makeup is the use of tattoos to enhance eyebrows, lips (liner and/or lipstick), eyes (liner), and even moles, usually with natural colors as the designs are intended to resemble makeup.

And forth; for medical purposes, it is used to ensure instruments are properly located for repeated application of radiotherapy and for the areola in some forms of breast reconstruction. Tattooing has also been used to convey medical information about the wearer (e.g. blood group).
