WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“That makes no sense; nobody would ever dare tattoo that sacred mark on their skin unless something is seriously wrong.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Filial Piety and Bodily Integrity

Rooted in the Classic of Filial Piety ('body, hair, and skin are received from parents and must not be harmed'), tattooing was traditionally seen as unfilial and taboo unless driven by exceptional devotion or criminal marking.
