1. Exercise 4.
Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
A tattoo is a permanent mark or design under the top layer of skin made by the
injection of coloured pigments. Ages ago, tattoos were used for a variety of reasons. This
included identifying slaves and criminals to determine their social class. They were also
used to beautify. The belief that tattoos were decorative was evident in Egypt. Many
ancient Egyptian mummies had tattoos.
During the olden times, the art of tattooing was widespread. This explains why
tattoo-like marks were discovered in cave paintings. Some of them were made thousands
of years ago. Tattooing was a very expensive process in the 19th
century. So when the first
electric needle was invented, the tattoo process became cheaper and faster. When it
became cheap, it was also done by the poor. So it was no longer a mark of wealth.
Today, women make up more than half the tattooed population. Some have even
tattooed slimmer and shaped eyebrows. Tattooing is now carried out in comfortable
beauty salons using hygienic electrical needles. To take it a step further, tattoos can now
be removed by new laser technology.
Rewrite the passage above on the developments in the art of tattooing.
