Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Congratulations!
You coped with the task!
Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower back.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual this days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under the clothes.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – man, women, teachers, entertainers.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Congratulations!
You coped with the task!
Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower back.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual this days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under the clothes.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – man, women, teachers, entertainers.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Congratulations!
You coped with the task!
Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower back.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual this days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under the clothes.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – man, women, teachers, entertainers.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Congratulations!
You coped with the task!
Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower back.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual these days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms. Some young women have
large tattoos across their lower bag.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under clothes. But it is not
so unusual this days to see young men with colorful
designs that cover their arms.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – men, women, teachers, entertainers. Some
tattoos are small and hidden under the clothes.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Body art is the use of the human body as a form of
self-expression. Tattooing and piercing are both forms
of body art. And, as Faith Lapidus tells us, both have
become more socially acceptable in the United States.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Tattooing is the art of injecting
colors into the skin to create designs. Piercing is putting
holes in the body for wearing jewelry.
Ancient societies used body art to represent many
different things, including social position and religious
beliefs. In the United States, tattoos were considered
mostly for military men or laborers, or young people who
disobeyed their parents.
But in recent years, all kinds of people have gotten
tattoos – man, women, teachers, entertainers.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.

Choose the most appropriate gist of part two

Though there is some risk of infection, nowadays
piercing is used for all parts of the human body.
Everybody has the opportunity to get a permanent
tattoo or a temporary one.

Nowadays piercing can be used for many parts of
the human body, but together with tattooing it can
involve certain health risks; besides people may regret
their decision to get a permanent tattoo, so some
prefer to get a temporary one, like mehndi.
Piercing is used nowadays for almost all parts of the
human body. However, just like tattooing, piercing
involves serious health risks. That is why the number of
people who decide to get a tattoo, is decreasing.
