Scarification Tattoos

Scarification has been used for many reasons in many different cultures:
Scarification has been used as a rite of passage in adolescence, or to denote the emotional state of the wearer of the scars, such as times of sorrow or well-being. This is common among Australian Aboriginal and Sepik River tribes in New Guinea, amongst others.

The Māori of New Zealand used a form of ink rubbing scarification to produce facial tattoos known as "moko." Moko were considered to make the body complete as Māori bodies were considered to be naked without these marks. Moko were unique to each person and served as a sort of signature. Some Māori chiefs even used the pattern of their moko as their signatures on land treaties with Europeans.

Thigh Tattoos

These tattoos are uncommon. People generally get a thigh tattoo because it is easy to hide it. There are many places, especially organizations where tattoos are not allowed, so tattoo lovers opt for locations like the thigh where the tattoo can easily be hidden. This is one advantage of a thigh tattoo, however, there is one major disadvantage also. Though a tattoo is a permanent thing, it has a tendency to sag. So if you get a thigh tattoo done, there are high chances of your thigh tattoo sagging if you gain even a little weight. But on the other hand, thigh tattoos also have a long life as they are hardly ever exposed to the sun. So there are both advantages and disadvantages of these tattoos, thus one should think at least twice before getting one.
