art tattoo from antiquity to the present day!!!
Tattooing (or tattoo, tatouo) is the skin of the body with special tools which, with small tweaks, pour pigments to create indelible patterns.Egyptian mummies discovered the oldest tattoos with representations in the world. The tattoos are estimated to have been between 3351 and 3017 BC, making them about a millennium older than what had been found so far.
from ancient times every culture has its own history in the art of tattoos...which is very old and with great history!!!
For a long time, tattoos were the "privilege" of sailors and criminals. In jail, tattoos - both professional and amateur - imprinted indelibly on their body the desire that these men had on their soul: autonomy and identity. The supreme symbol for gang members was their gang tattoos: a permanent sign that showed all the obligations to the gang.
These tattoos can reveal many things, such as who you are, what your gang is, what your beliefs (racist, etc.), what have you been, how many years you've been in prison (also referred to as "Dead time"), even things like how many you've killed. Known symbols include tears under the eye and spider web in the elbows, symbolizing the people killed.
although I like to see it I would not encourage anyone to do so...because it is something that is not easily removed and few are the ones who can support it!!!
