All about Tattoos & Tattooing
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. Other tattooed
mummies have been recovered from at least 49 archaeological sites,
including locations in Greenland, Alaska, Siberia, Mongolia, western
China, Egypt, Sudan, the Philippines and the Andes. Nowadays people
enjoy getting tattooed and collecting work by lots of artists
