Tattooing has been performed all over the world since prehistoric times, as indicated by numerous ancient relics. The significance of tattoos has differed at times and in different civilisations (means of communication, social identification mark, religious origin). Today, it is performed by real artists who have inspired its medical applications. Medical dermopigmentation was initially used in the context of breast reconstruction (nipple areola complex) and, with subsequent refinements, its indications have been extended to the treatment of residual scars and to the permanent make-up.
自史前时代以来，世界各地就有纹身现象，众多古代遗迹都表明了这一点。纹身在不同时期和不同文明中的意义有所不同（交流方式、社会身份标识、宗教起源）。如今，纹身由真正的艺术家进行，他们也启发了纹身的医学应用。医学皮肤色素沉着最初用于乳房重建（乳头乳晕复合体），随着技术的不断改进，其适应症已扩展到残余疤痕的治疗和永久性化妆。
