New Zealand, Polynesia, Hawaii and Australia with
native tattoo’s.
The concept eventually moved from the military
to the civilian population.

Tattoo however was not limited to the
face (or only to men) but was used
across the entire body.
![Page 30: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The people of Samoa tattooed the legs and buttocks heavily, due to the large surface area that could be covered.
The traditional woman's tattoo is called a Malu, and is more open and airy than the male counterpart.
![Page 31: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The male version, the pe’a, is thicker,
with less open space and more
ink.
The pe’a eventually covers
the entire leg from lower back to foot.

... most female tattoo was limited to the chin...

Traditional island tattoo is chiseled into the skin by using sharp instrument called a “comb”.
![Page 39: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
multiple prong Combs
Combs are dipped in ink and hammered with a stick so that they vibrate like a tuning fork. This forces the ink beneath the surface of the skin.

Tattooing in the western world was brought to a halt in A.D. 787.
Pope Hadrian banned the art form, …citing Leviticus 19:28 and 21:5 as well as
Deuteronomy 14:1.
![Page 42: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
This was because Crusaders were tattooing themselves with Christian symbols. Why?
So that if they were killed in the Holy Land they would receive Christian burials (pilgrims were also tattooing
themselves to show they had visited certain Christian religious sites).
The church feared the eastern (and therefore Pagan) associations.

body painting
![Page 45: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Almost all cultures at one time have practiced body painting.
![Page 46: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

And most still do (without realizing it).
![Page 48: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The ancient Celts were the most famous people to paint themselves.
The Celts would use Woad, a blue dye to paint mystical symbols on their bodies when engaging in warfare.
![Page 49: BODY ART](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052603/5681472f550346895db46c57/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Woad was also rumored to have a hallucinogenic component, (similar to
ancient pigment used in cave paintings).
Hence the “crazy” Celtic warrior legend.

Native North Americans also had a highly developed sense
of aesthetics, and used face and body painting extensively.

as a status symbol as well.
