The needles move extremely fast, breaking the skin and leaving the pigments of ink.

The uninitiated who might think that tattoos can only be done on skin are in for a surprise when they find out that the human tongue makes for a very good canvas too.

As tongue tattoos become more and more popular, more and more designs are implemented. In most cases, those who already have them, chose to have their tongue tattooed a certain color. As far as the procedure goes, it’s very similar to getting a tattoo on any other part of your body. The tongue, just like the skin, will swallow the pigments once the surface has been punctured by the needle. There are also designs that can be tattooed farther back on the tongue, near the middle of it.
