The word TATTOO is a Tahitian word “tattau” which means “to mark” and was first mentioned in explorer James Cook’s records from his 1769 expedition to the South Pacific. Tattoos were also found on Egyptian and Nubian mummies that date back to about 2000 B.C. Not too long ago, most Americans associated tattoos with sailors, bikers and sideshow artists.But tattoos have become more popular in recent years and the people who get them are as diverse as the styles and designs they choose. Tattoos are a beautiful way to express your uniqueness and individuality.
