The history of tattoo kits

If you are interested in the tattoo kits and you want to know the origin of tattooing. The article will take effect with you.
Tattoos found on Egyptian and Nubian mummies date from about 2000 B.C., and classical authors mention the use of tattoo kits in connection with Greeks, ancient Germans, Gauls, Thracians and ancient Britons.
Tattooing was rediscovered by Europeans when exploration brought them into contact with Polynesians and American Indians. The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tattau, which means "to mark," and was first mentioned in explorer James Cook’s records from his 1769 expedition to the South Pacific. Because tattoos were considered so exotic in European and U.S. societies, tattooed Indians and Polynesians drew crowds at circuses and fairs during the 18th and 19th centuries
Believe it or not, some scientists of researching tattoo kits say that certain marks on the skin of the Iceman, a mummified human body dating from about 3300 B.C., are tattoos. If that’s true, these markings represent the earliest known evidence of the practice.
