Something is expensive if it costs a lot of money. Expensive things are usually very high quality, or have a brand name or are made by someone that people are willing to pay extra for. The opposite of expensive is cheap.
Something is antique if it is old, and people think it is worth collecting. Some antique things aren't worth very much, and people just like to collect them. But other things become more valuable the older they get, and some antique items can cost a lot of money to buy. Antique is often used to describe an old, expensive item, while vintage is often used to describe a less expensive old item, but the two words can be interchanged.

A tattoo is a picture that has been drawn in your skin so that it won't come off. The ink the picture is drawn in is put under the surface of your skin with a needle. In most countries, you are not allowed to get a tattoo until you are an adult. If you change your mind about a tattoo, they can be removed with a laser but this is expensive and might not remove it completely.
Temporary tattoos can come off. These are drawn on with paint, dye, or are put on as a sticker. Most temporary tattoos can be washed off, or in the case of a dye tattoo, will wear off after a few weeks.

Snuff is powdered tobacco leaves, designed to be sniffed through the nose. Snuff was much more popular in the past than it is today. Most people today smoke cigarettes rather than sniff tobacco.
