Match tattoo means rich life. Matches are made of small sticks. If there are more sticks, they can form trees. If there are more trees, they will become forests. In this way, there is the moral of accumulating wealth. The match tattoo also has the defense fence, the platform security implication.

Match is based on the principle of friction heat, using strong oxidant and reducing agent of chemical activity, made of a kind of friction ignition tool. Daily matches, also known as ordinary matches, according to the packaging shape and the raw materials used, there are wood stem matches, wax paper stem matches and book type matches.

In the second half of the 18th century, yellow phosphorus was mainly used as an incendiary agent. As yellow phosphorus was toxic, it was gradually replaced by phosphorous sulfide. Although the latter is non-toxic, it may ignite at any time and is not safe. In 1855, the match factory established in Sweden successfully developed safety matches, which were gradually adopted by all countries in the world.
