Is there a difference between a tattoo and a tattoo? What about the pain? What is the difference in ease of removal?

Recently, more and more people are getting tattoos for fashion sense. In Japan, it is also popularly known as “tattoo”.
Is there really a clear distinction between tattoos and tattoos?
Let’s take a closer look at the differences and types of tattoos to deepen your knowledge of tattoos.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TATTOO AND A TATTOO?

Tattoos and tattoos are incisions made and colored on the skin with a needle, etc., and both words refer to the same thing. Originally, there was a difference between Japanese and English, but in recent years there has been a trend to refer to one-point tattoos with strong fashion implications as tattoos, and to refer to traditional Japanese carvings as tattoos. Also, if the needle is inserted relatively shallowly and it looks like it is painted on the surface of the skin, it is called a tattoo, whereas if the needle is inserted deeply and the skin appears raised, it is sometimes called a tattoo.
Other than that, there are also different images such as tattoo = Western pattern, carved locally, tattoo = Japanese pattern, tattooed all over the back etc.
However, this is just an image and does not necessarily apply to you.
