HISTORY

Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice at least since around Neolithic times.

Ötzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BC, was found in the Ötz valley in the Alps and had approximately 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle.

These tattoos were thought to be a form of healing because of their placement which resembles acupuncture.
