The art of inserting ink under the skin with sharp equipment and is very common among almost all cultures. This is called Tattooing.

Tattoos have been revealed on mummified bodies that have been found to be thousands of years old. From the ancient Egyptian artifacts to the current modern times, tattoos have come a long way.

This ancient form of art called tattooing has now become a distinct style.
What we call  “tattoo” is actually a derivative of the Polynesian word “Tatao”. “Tatao” definition is “to tap,” and it describes the technique by which sharp spines loaded with color were tapped into the skin to make tribal designs.

The Captain James Cook, was the first white explorer to visit the Polynesian Islands.  He brought the word back to Europe, and along with that, he brought back some examples of the tribal art on the arms and chest of the sailors that were with him.
