Tattoos and other forms of ancient body art, such as piercing and scarification is experiencing unprecedented growth worldwide and it seems to be no different for our friends in the Middle East in countries such as Iran and Syria. Hairdressing salons in the Middle East which usually only specialize in hairstyling and makeup have recently seen a surge of people going to them and requesting to get tattoos done along with their usual beauty treatments. It doesn't appear to be all cosmetic tattoos either.
