TATTOO

The word tattoo is said to have two major derivations — from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something and the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something’.

Americans spend approximately $1.65 billion on tattoos annually.

Early tattoo methods included using chisels, rakes, or picks. Soot-covered thread was also used. The thread would be sewn through the skin.

Your skin is pierced 50 to 3000 times per minute by the tattoo machine when you get a tattoo.

The most tattooed man in the world is Gregory Paul McLaren. He is also known as Lucky Diamond Rich.

The existing tattoo designs displayed in a tattoo shop are known as “flash”. Clients can choose from flash or request a customized design.

Laser surgery is the most effective way to remove a tattoo.

The most popular tattoo images are angels and hearts. Animals are the most frequent subject matter of tattooing in many cultures.

Archaeologists have discovered tools in France, Portugal, and Scandinavia that were probably used for tattooing. These are at least 12,000 years old, or from the time of the last Ice Age.

The price of a tattoo depends on the size, area of the body you want covered, and the artist.
