The
first in the history of tattoos can be found in Egypt around the time
of building the great pyramids, although undoubtedly practiced tattooing
since 12 000 BC. The
art of tattooing spread rapidly with the expansion of the kingdom of
Egypt, with Crete, Greek, Arabic and Persian to gather from many
cultures and expand the art form. Around 2000 BC, then spread to China and, eventually, most of the world.Tattoos
are very popular among many ethnic minorities since the days of ancient
China, but between the majority ethnic group (Han Chinese), tattoos are
mostly associated with criminals, bandits and gangsters, which is not
desirable to be branded with a tattoo. In
many cultures, tattoos are used to mark the visible or branded
criminals, prisoners, slaves, or marginalized, and, of course, the most
famous use of tattoos for identification and degradation by the Nazis
against the Jews.
Tattoo has always played an important role in ritual and tradition. For example, the rights of the parts - a ritual marking the progress from one status to another person. Puberty ceremony, Arrival Age, marriage and death. Religion ceremonies such as baptism or confirmation. Decorations for bravery. Amulets for protection, to name a few.Polynesian tattoo has its roots in the West, the "Tatau" has been discovered by explorers in the eighteenth century. The Tatau a favorite ornament of the sailors of Europe and then spread to Western society in general.

Thus, many tattooists set up shop to practice their craft in the harbor where there is no shortage of customers. Tattoo artists are still alive today as in the naval port of the Royal Navy sailor tattoo is very partial.
Tattoos are also used for cosmetic purposes to hide or skin blemishes and imperfections, even for old cover tattoos that are not desirable, especially (as in the case of many celebrities) after divorce or separation where the name of "former" is now an embarrassment for the body! Tattoos are also used to create permanent makeup, to line the lips or eyes, eyebrows, or increase as the lipstick stay full.Since the end of the 20th century, tattoos have experienced a resurgence in popularity. Pop culture will affect the reality-based show inspired tattoos that cover real-life practices and related information.
