National Tattoo Day celebrates the ancient skin art of tattooing, the people who wear them, and the artists who create them.
Tattooing has existed for thousands of years and is present in ancient cultures worldwide, including Egyptian, Polynesian, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The oldest known tattoo dates between 3300 and 3100 BC.
Attitudes about tattoos fluctuate throughout history. Currently, they are admired and coveted. At other times, they are shunned and seen as the sign of an outcast. Some tattoos have a religious significance, and others mark rights of passage. In war, tattoos mark a conquest or create a permanent mask, and in the 20th century, tattoos found favor as permanent makeup.
Whatever the reason, one cannot help but admire the artistry of many tattoos. Today is your day to celebrate tattoos, or if they're not your thing, appreciate this ancient art.
