Source:- Google.com.pk

the word tattoo is said to has two major derivations- from

the polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something

and the tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something’.

the history of tattoo began over 5000 years ago and is as

diverse as the people who wear them.

tattoos are created by inserting colored materials beneath

the skins surface. the first tattoos probably were created

by accident. someone had a small wound, and rubbed it

with a hand that was dirty with soot and ashes from the fire.

once the wound had healed, they saw that a mark stayed

permanently.

despite the social sciences' growing fascination with tattooing,

and the immense popularity of tattoos themselves,

the practice has not left much of a historical record.

in 1991, a five thousand year old tattooed man ‘ötzi the ice man’

made the headlines of newspapers all over the world when

his frozen body was discovered on a mountain between

austria and italy.

this is the best preserved corpse of that period ever found.

the skin bears 57 tattoos: a cross on the inside of the left knee,

six straight lines 15 centimeters long above the kidneys and

numerous parallel lines on the ankles.

the position of the tattoo marks suggests that they were probably

applied for therapeutic reasons (treatment of arthritis).
