Drawing of Tattoos is definitely a controversial topic to bring up in a normal conversation and some might say that drawing of Tattoos is normal as it is just ink on the body but some due to their religious beliefs see it a huge sin against God.
The ancient egyptians and romans practiced drawing of tattoos occasionally but the rise in Christianity saw a massive decline in the act but recently drawing of tattoos on the body has seen a huge upsurge.
