impressed into the skin

Explanation:
etching involves the use of acid, which isn't the case in tattooing, I think

Tattoos are markings made on human skin for decorative purposes. In some case, theme may also be of cultural significance as in the case of native tribes. Indelible ink is used to form tattoos. This link is impressed into the skin layers to create a permanent or long lasting tattoo. The practice of tattooing has been in existence for a long time. It is also practiced world-wide irrespective of religion, race, culture, sex or region.

http://www.canadatop.com/article/Tattoo designs

Some tribal cultures traditionally created tattoos by cutting designs into the skin and rubbing the resulting wound with ink, ashes or other agents; some cultures continue this practice, which may be an adjunct to scarification. Some cultures create tattooed marks by hand-tapping the ink into the skin using sharpened sticks or animal bones (made like needles) with clay formed disks or, in modern times, needles. Traditional Japanese tattoos (Horimono) are still "hand-poked," that is, the ink is inserted beneath the skin using non-electrical, hand-made and hand held tools with needles of sharpened bamboo or steel. This method is known as tebori.
