Did you know that ancient civilizations, like the Egyptians and Polynesians, used tattoos to symbolize important events and beliefs? Actually, the word "tattoo" itself comes from the Polynesian word "tatau," which means "to mark something." Interestingly, different cultures have their own tattoo traditions and meanings. For example, in Japan, tattoos were used to identify criminals in the past.

Tattoos have long served as a medium of self-expression, telling stories ‘engraved’ in ink on the canvas of human skin. From ancient tribal signs to contemporary art pieces, tattoos have evolved into a vibrant global culture that reflects individual passions, emotions, and life journeys.

While some tattoos are considered true masterpieces, others spark conversations about questionable choices. It’s truly interesting to explore the intriguing tales behind these unique works of art and celebrate the beauty of self-expression, even in its unconventional forms.
