Question

Tattoo Basics:

Many people today have at least one tattoo, if not more. Tattoos are more common than ever before, but few people know the science behind them.
Getting a Tattoo:
Tattoos are made with ink. Tattoo ink is made from metal that is ground, dried, and mixed with water. The ink is then put on with a needle, either by hand or with a special gun. For a tattoo to stay, it must be made under the skin. Any kind of mark made on top of the skin would flake off. So the needle (and its ink) must reach the middle part of the skin.
"Erasing" a Tattoo:
Once the needle has done its job, the ink will stay for good. But if later in life you want to "erase" your tattoo, a doctor will need to do it. A strong beam of light is aimed at the tattoo. This beam will heat up the ink under the skin and cause it to fade. At the same time, though, it will heat up your skin. For this reason, "erasing" or getting rid of a tattoo can hurt more than the needle that put it there.
What is this passage mostly about?
Options:
A. The way tattoo ink is made
B. The science of tattoos
C. The art of tattoos
D. The way a tattoo is erased

Answer 1

The passage mostly about B. The science of tattoos

The passage discusses the process of getting and removing tattoos, as well as the ink that is used. It also explains why tattoos are permanent and how they can be removed. This information is all related to the science of tattoos, which is the study of the materials, methods, and effects of tattooing.

The passage is not primarily about the way tattoo ink is made, the art of tattoos, or the way a tattoo is erased. While these topics are mentioned, they are not the main focus of the passage.
