Sochi holds the Winter Olympics. Sochi is in Russia. This is last year.

This year, Sochi holds something else. It is a festival for tattoos. It is international.

People go to this festival. They get tattoos. They can also go in a contest. The experts try to find the best tattoos.

Some people just like to watch the festival. They like the people. They like Sochi. It is a nice place. It also has a lot of sun.

Difficult words: hold (to have something happen), tattoo (a picture that goes on your body), contest (a situation when people want to be the best at something).
