Do you have any tattoos? I do! Mummified skin suggests that tattooing has been done since the Neolithic times
I didn't know it went back that far! I dont have any but would get one if it looked cool?
Tattoos can vary so much! Ancient art and archaeological finds of potential tattoo tools suggest that tattooing could have been practiced in the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe
Thats cool I wonder what they got tattooed then? Maybe mammoths or something lol
It's possible! The oldest tattooed human skin was found on the body of an Otzi which is an Iceman from around 3370 to 3100 BC
Do you know what they used to make tattoos back then?
I'm not sure but tattooed mummies have been found in Mongolia, Egypt, Sudan, the Philippines, and the Andes, among others!
Cool, they probably had to do with some type of religious ritual back then.
I agree! Especially since they found a Priestess of the Goddess Hathor from ancient Egypt mummified with tattoos
Interesting, did only rich people or royalty get tattoos back then?
