Explain why a tattoo cannot be inherited from one generation to another.

• Tattoos are passed down from generation to generation so if the mom has a tattoo, then all of her children will have a tattoo.

• Tattoos cannot be inherited by the children because you have to go and get a tattoo from a licensed professional and it is only applied to the top of the person's skin. It is not in their DNA.
