Check Out Their Tattoos on Satellite TV

Tattoos, love them or hate them, they are here to stick around. Tattooing is actually an ancient art that dates back to Neolithic times. One of the earliest tattooed individuals found so far was one Oetzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth or fifth millennium BC in the Alps; he had 57 tattoos on his lower spine and ankles. Many Egyptian mummies bear tattoos. In Japan, the word irezumi means the insertion of ink; the Japanese art of tattooing is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago.

The word tattoo comes from the Samoan word tatau, which means open wound. Today you can watch tattoo artists do their work courtesy of satellite TV. These high definition programs allow you to see all the fine details that make up a tattoo.
