Tattoos date back many thousands of years. In fact, we have firm evidence that tattooing is an ancient art form, after discoveries of tattoos on mummified skin were found. The oldest evidence of human tattoos is believed to be from between 3370 BC and 3100 BC. Otzi the Iceman was discovered in September 1991
Where do tattoos originally come from?
Egypt's international trade spread the practice of tattooing to Crete, Greece, and Arabia, and there is a history of tattooing in ancient China, as well as among Celtic and Northern European tribes, such as the Picts—literally "painted people"—and in Samoa and the Polynesian islands, where the word "tatou" originated.
When did tattoos become popular?
In the West, a burst of popularity in the 1960s, with the mainstreaming of biker and hippie culture, meant that by the 1990s, the leading tattooed demographic was the white suburban female. Tattoos had become, like sportscars or leather pants, something to signify lost youth amid the doldrums of mainstream adult life.
