We see an Eigo father ceremoniously gift his child a tattoo. Every child earns their tattoos during the ages 7 - 10, applied by their parents or an experienced artist. Not a step into adulthood, but a milestone in their culture nonetheless. Commonly applied to the head or ears--they represent concepts or lineage. Most carry these tattoos throughout their entire lives, although changing or outright erasing them is not uncommon either.
