Tattooing has been practiced all over the world since ancient times. It is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. These two men, seen at the Fulton Street Fair in downtown San Francisco, have taken the art to its extreme having been tattooed in almost every available spot on their bodies. Their tattoos appear to be essentially colorful, artistic and decorative rather than symbols of devotion or expressions of love. Apparently, they have a need to show this art in public as they are allowed to do once each year at this event.

"Inked" is an urban term meaning to have many tattoos or the act of getting tattooed.
