Unique Tattoos - Things to Consider and Design Ideas
Tattooing—A Brief History
The word tattoo is said to have two major origins:
1st, from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means “striking something”
2nd, from the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means “to mark something”
The history of this form of human body-art (decorative body modification) called “tattoo” began thousands of years ago and is as diverse as the people who wear them. These permanent designs—sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal—have served many functions: amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments, and even forms of punishment.
In Japan the art of Tattooing may go back to the early stone-age, from 750,000 to 15,000 years ago. Other cultures have had their own tattoo customs, for example: pricking their skin on their hand to insert dyes.
