Tribal Tattoos

The original tribal tattoos are applied but without any of the associated cultural links. In particular, Dayak and Kayan tattoo designs from Borneo are popular and, and to a lesser extent, tribal tattoo designs originating from the Pacific islands

As the origins of art are rooted in early cave paintings, so positive proof of Tattooing is obtained from recent discoveries of ancient frozen mummified remains of early man that are covered in Tattoos. Oldest Tattooed body known to date is that of a Bronze Age man who died over 5000 years ago.

He was found frozen intact in an Italian glazier. Researchers where startled at close examination he was found to have both arms, legs and torso covered with elaborate Tribal Tattoo Designs representing mythical creatures. 15000 BC ice age rock carvings show Tattooed figures, 4200 BC Egyptian mummies wear Tribal Tattoos.
