Week 5 Discussion 1 - Tattoos and Culture

The History of Tattoos

Tattoos, or inking, has increased dramatically in the last few decades, especially among Millenials (Weller, 2014). But what about the history of tattoos? The earliest recorded evidence of tattooing was carbon dated 5,200 years ago when the Ice Man was discovered in 1991 (Lineberry, 2007). People have used tattoos for thousands of years "as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments, and even forms of punishment" (Lineberry, 2007, para 1).
