I Love Tattoos!

Do you know the history behind them?
Tattooing
has been practiced across the globe since at least Neolithic times, as
evidenced by mummified preserved skin, ancient art and the
archaeological record. Both ancient art and archaeological finds of
possible tattoo tools suggest tattooing was practiced by the Upper
Paleolithic period in Europe. However, direct evidence for tattooing on
mummified human skin extends only to the 4th millennium BC.
The
oldest discovery of tattooed human skin to date is found on the body of
Ötzi the Iceman,
dating to between 3370 and 3100 BC.
