The history of tattoos



Tattoo's began almost over 5000 years ago, Tattoos have 2 derivations from Tahitian "Tatau", which means to " mark something". The other word is the word " Ta", in Polynesian which means " striking something". Tattoos are made by injecting color materials under the skins surface. However the first tattoo was created by accident.
Someone had a tiny cut on themselves, they're hands where dirty from soot from ashes, and they had touched they're wound. After the wound was healed, there was a permanent mark on them, that would't work. Tattoos have become very popular over the   Years, they've been used for war, to mark the soldiers.  
So the soldiers could tell each other apart, and they have been used for marking of tribes, For the chief of tribes and for knowing the rank among the tribe or a persons special marking. In India the red marking of a women's head is a sort of tattoo, it means that women is married or a sign of a goddess, 
Lacey has a few tattoos of her own, and they mean something to her.
Lacey has 3 tattoos of her own, she has one on her ankle, and the back of her shoulder,   And one on her forearm. The tattoo on her ankle is a swan, the tattoo on her back is Holy Trinity and a dove, the one on her forearm means the most to her, the tattoo says " Beulah" which in Hebrew means "married and protected by god". 
She got the tattoo from the bible "Isaiah 62:4". 
Tattoo's can also mean a symbol for something, as Lacey's does for hers..
Tattoo's can be painful depending on the spot you get it and depend on how your pain level is.
