History Of Tribal Tattoos

Tattoos originated over 5000 years ago with evidence of a Bronze Age man found frozen intact in an Italian glazier with his legs, arms and torso covered in elaborate tattoo designs.

These tattoo designs were probably tribal in origin, as history has shown that local tribes and clans used tattoos to identify them to their tribe. Tribal art tatoos had specific meanings relating to individual tribes.

In ancient times, tattoos were used for two primary reasons:

• to mark a person as a member (or nonmember) of the local group
• to express religious, magical or spiritual beliefs and convictions. Click on our links for more fascinating info.
