Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of online sites wherein you can pick and choose a tattoo design, print it out and take it to one of many tattoo parlors in your area. Incredibly, there are well over 40 million individuals who have tattoos. What is it about tattoos that are so appealing?The history of tattoos dates as far back as the Stone Age. However, you may recall that in 1991, a 5300 year-old frozen mummy was discovered in the Otztal Alps and aptly named "The Iceman." Upon examination, he was found to have 58 tattoos.
In other cultures around the world from the Maori in New Zealand to the Ainu in Japan, the art of tattooing - although its origin can be traced back to the fourth millennium and earlier - still exists today and has morphed into a more contemporary art form.
