Tattoo Artist Says Creating Permanent Art Is 'an Addiction'

Tattoos — a place where permanent art and temporary pain merge. They’re on full display at the London Tattoo Show. For the tattoo artists, who use skin as their canvases, they are challenged with keeping their skills fresh and creating something new. Many people say getting tattoos can become an addiction, and even the artists have to agree. According to Pennsylvania State University, humans have gotten tattoos for about 10,000 years. And they aren’t going out of style any time soon.
