Tattoo marks
- Tattoo marks are designs made by multiple small puncture wounds made through the skin with needles or similar penetrating tools dipped in colouring agents ( dye ).
- Tattoos are distinctive, potentially important acquired identifying features that last for the life of the bearer, and persist into the postmortem period.
Latent tattoo marks are faded marks and they can be visualized by
- Rubbing the part and examining under magnifying glass
