    Possible Neolithic tattoo marks depicted on a Pre-Cucuteni culture clay figure from Romania, c. 4900–4750 BC
    Tattooing has been practised across the globe since at least Neolithic times, as evidenced by the mummified preserved skin, ancient art and the archaeological record. Both ancient art and archaeological finds of possible tattoo tools suggest tattooing was practised by the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe. However, direct evidence for tattooing on mummified human skin extends only to the 4th millennium BC. The oldest discovery of tattooed human skin to date is found on the body of Ötzi the Iceman, dating to between 3370 and 3100 BC. - Wikipedia
    An origin of tattoos at a defined time period is unsure but its early existence has surely been proved.
    In the ancient ages, tattoos were worn as permanent ornaments over the skin.
    It was a royal means to decorate the skin in a way that can not be erased.
    Evidence of beautiful and distinct tattoos all over the body have been found over the period of time.

Tattooing is claimed to be an ancient cultural practice that has existed since 12, 000 years BC. The purpose to get a tattoo could be to imprint ones outer self with beliefs of life. It lets you wear your inerasable identity over your skin. The tattoo genres are numerous like tribal, realism, new school and traditional. Thus when skin is the canvas painted with ink of beliefs, emerges a tattoo that mirrors the soul within.
