Tattooing
- a respectable art?
The English word 'tattoo' comes from the Tahitian 'tatau' meaning 'to mark something'. Tattooing is the practice of permanently marking the human body by inserting colored inks into the skin using a needle. It has a long history that stretches back thousands of years, encompasses many cultures and spans the entire globe. One famous early example is the body of 'Otzi the Iceman', who dates back to 3300 BC. His frozen body was found in Italy in 1991, with 57 simple dots and lines on his skin. Some scholars suggest that these marks on the skin could have been made for health reasons. Decorative tattooing seems to have been very common in ancient Egypt around 2000 BC. Paintings reveal many figures with tattoos on their bodies, indicating that tattooing was not only culturally acceptable but also popular. The mummy of Amunet, a priestess found at Thebes, is particularly famous, having several painted lines and dots on her body. Mummies from a similar period found in the Altai mountains of Siberia, in Russia also reveal tattoos of animals on their bodies. Tribal people from Borneo, the Philippines, Africa, Japan and China all used tattoos in ancient times. Tribes across Europe, such as the Picts, used tattoos up to the 10th Century. In the 19th Century tattooing even became something of a tradition for sailors in the British navy, and the Maori people from New Zealand still use facial tattoos today. So what is it that makes people want to change their appearance in this unique, and permanent, way?
Well, in the past tattoos could have fulfilled many purposes ... to mark the passage to adulthood, or, as in Maori culture, to denote military, political or social status. It is very likely that tattoos could also have had religious or spiritual meanings. Among tribes in Borneo, tattoos were often a sign of courage in war. In Thailand, tattoos around the wrist were thought to ward off illness. North American Indians had tattoos to show marital status and group identity.
However, the art of tattooing has also had negative connotations. The Greeks and Romans associated tattoos with barbarian tribes and only used them to mark slaves in case they tried to escape, or as a punishment for criminals. In Japan by the 17th Century the once respected art of tattooing had become a symbol of rebellion and criminal behavior, given as a punishment for serious crimes. Tattoos soon became associated with criminal gangs and laws were passed forbidding tattooing. Interestingly, when tattooing was permitted again in Japan in the late 19th Century, it wasn't allowed for Japanese people, only foreigners. This coincided with a period of popularity that tattooing was enjoying in Europe. In 1882 the Duke of York, later King George V, had a dragon tattooed on his arm the by famous Japanese tattooist Hori Chiyo. Many high-ranking naval officers and those from the British upper classes copied the new style, as did other members of royalty, including the future Tzar of Russia, Nicholas II.
Tattooing is still one of the most popular forms of self-expression. Tattoos are often used today to mark a relationship or a special event. There are always people who like to be different, who feel the need to stand out from the crowd. Such people might choose to express their personality through their hairstyle, clothes, or wearing distinctive jewelry or make-up, but nothing really catches the eye in the same was as a tattoo. Some top sportsmen and women, such as soccer player David Beckham, and Hollywood stars are famous for their tattoos. Angelina Jolie has over a dozen tattoos!
