The History of Tattoos

Nice article thought I don't have ink on me YET. Yes you read that right YET this is inspiring and may push me to get a tattoo. Where i come from some tribes believes that having tattoos were symbols of how brave they are or they how they get it through battle, women would have it either as a sign she is married the mark of her husband (no its not branding) or she is of royal blood and is forbidden to be touched.
I guess it differs from culture to culture and people get it in different reasons and for different things. I love them and maybe one day I would get one.
