Wicked Tat2

The word tattoo is said to has two major derivations- from the polynesian word ta which means striking something and the tahitian word tatau which means to mark something. The history of tattoo started over 5000 years ago and is as diverse as the people who wear them. Tattoos are created by inserting colored materials beneath the skins surface. The 1st tattoos possibly were created by accident. Someone had a tiny wound, and rubbed it with a hand that was dirty with soot and ashes from the fire. Once the wound had healed, they saw that a mark stayed permanently.
