A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Corpus comitatus is a Latin term that means "the body of a county." It refers to the area within a territorial jurisdiction where admiralty jurisdiction did not originally extend, unlike on the high seas. Infra corpus comitatus means "within the body of a county."

Example: In English law, the phrase "infra corpus comitatus" referred to a body of water that was completely enclosed by land, such as a lake or a pond. Since it was within the body of a county, it was exempt from admiralty jurisdiction.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the term "infra corpus comitatus" was used in English law to describe a body of water that was not subject to admiralty jurisdiction because it was within the territorial jurisdiction of a county. This exemption was based on the idea that admiralty jurisdiction only applied to bodies of water that were considered part of the high seas.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter

Only dirty people get infections from tattoos, higher chance of an allergy to the ink. Just go to a legit shop
