Humans have marked their bodies with tattoos for thousands of years. These permanent designs—sometimes plain, sometimes elaborate, always personal—have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment. Joann Fletcher, research fellow in the department of archaeology at the University of York in Britain, describes the history of tattoos and their cultural significance to people around the world, from the famous " Iceman," a 5,200-year-old frozen mummy, to today’s Maori.What is the earliest evidence of tattoos?In terms of tattoos on actual bodies, the earliest known examples were for a long time Egyptian and were present on several female mummies dated to c. 2000 B.C. But following the more recent discovery of the Iceman from the area of the Italian-Austrian border in 1991 and his tattoo patterns, this date has been pushed back a further thousand years when he was carbon-dated at around 5,200 years old.Can you describe the tattoos on the Iceman and their significance?Following discussions with my colleague Professor Don Brothwell of the University of York, one of the specialists who examined him, the distribution of the tattooed dots and small crosses on his lower spine and right knee and ankle joints correspond to areas of strain-induced degeneration, with the suggestion that they may have been applied to alleviate joint pain and were therefore essentially therapeutic. This would also explain their somewhat 'random' distribution in areas of the body which would not have been that easy to display had they been applied as a form of status marker.What is the evidence that ancient Egyptians had tattoos?There's certainly evidence that women had tattoos on their bodies and limbs from figurines c. 4000-3500 B.C. to occasional female figures represented in tomb scenes c. 1200 B.C. and in figurine form c. 1300 B.C., all with tattoos on their thighs. Also small bronze implements identified as tattooing tools were discovered at the town site of Gurob in northern Egypt and dated to c. 1450 B.C. And then, of course, there are the mummies with tattoos, from the three women already mentioned and dated to c. 2000 B.C. to several later examples of female mummies with these forms of permanent marks found in Greco-Roman burials at Akhmim.Subscribe now for more of Smithsonian's coverage on history, science and nature.[what's this?]Comments are moderated, and will not appear until Smithsonian.com has approved them.

Don't know of what I "speak"? Find out why they could not have "evolved" to their present state. They had to be specially created.this article was very informative for me i was so shocked how you can still see the tattoos on the face thank you for writing this!!!!!Whatever thats a scar or tattoo on our body, body is body, and body must go back to dusk. Body is like a carrier of a spirit being, to enable the spirit being to carry out physical works. The ost important we need to concentrate on is the MIND OR SOUL, OR SPIRIT, They re the same. I dont have tatoos but i know of tatoos draw with powerful powder, for many reasons basically on spiritual protections and spiritual guardian.I have a question to those Bible goers out there. So I've been doing some research to see if there is any truth to what you say about teh bible verus saying yoiu shall not tattoo yourself. Could someone explain to me how the word "Tattoo" could be a part of the bible if it didn't come into play until 1769? Because I've looked an the only bibles that says tattoo is that of those after that date. Funny huh? Further more, I looked at the older versions too, I read an read just to realise that Constanie the king of Romans had a debate on what would actually be apart of the bible. Oh my right? The Bible is supposed to be pure right? How can it be pure when it was made by man? I'm Christian well Prodostant the oldest of old. I'm just cursious how to take the Bible seriously if it's man made.I am a christian myself I have read the bible and I have tattoos. Most of which point out parts of my faith. Showing my faith has made me strong helped me survive the things that would have killed any person. Yes Ive had other so called christians put me down for getting them and judge me. But as I have said before and I will keep saying in refence to the body being the temple of God. They paint churches dont they?I am not only saddened by put almost sickened by some of the ridiculous and quite asinine comments about tattoos. From a religious stand point I think the arguing against tattooing has no foundation. The idea behind Leviticus 19:28 had nothing to do with the act and everything to do with purpose. In that time the commandments were written for the Israelites, who had spent hundreds of years in Egypt.Egypt was a polytheistic nation. They worship different gods and performed ceremonies and rituals to these gods. The idea is to not mimic religious practices or worship Egyptian gods. This is more indicative that the practice of tattooing was very spiritualistic to the Egyptians and has little to do with art.ç In that time the commandments were written for a large populous of uneducated and easily influence people. It is speculated that the Isrealites spent their time in Egypt so that no one who went to live their under Joseph would leave. This means that the ones who left were all slaves born in Egypt, and knew nothing of the outside world. Or very little at the least.ç Tattoos are simply art. There is little actual religious purpose or meaning to them now. The idea that they go against God is so ignorant, it proves that religion is simply a means of control. How pray tell does a picture of my dog on my shoulder or butterfly on the ankle affect ones soul? It doesn't religion; Christianity especially needs to get out of the mid evil ages. There are no lords ruling small provinces and solitary rule is considered primitive. We live in a time of elected leaders and governing of the people by representatives not bloodlines and tyrants. (for the most part) The symbolism and wording were to relate information in a way the people of that time could understand.god or no god. people can do what they want. free-will. and if there is a god he should be able to forgive us for putting art on our body.end of story. and people have been tattooing themselves for thousands of years. years before the bible was ever created mind you........and @someone whos opinion counts......wow. just wow. u need to keep your fingertips off the keyboard. TATTOOS ARE THE PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. why dont you complain about something that really matters people and quit discriminating!!!! GEEZ this is why us humans will never grow, because you wanna spread this kind of thinking around like a disease and infect it in childrens minds thinking that its wrong or trash. I grew up around it, observing it, and i didnt turn into a murderer or anything of the sort. IT IS ART! GROW UP!i'm sorry to post this but for all those who say tattoos are wrong, you need to fully understand the passage in leviticus...but if you honestly want to it to be taken as literal as you post it then im sorry but did you have any scars? any accidents from you childhood. did you ever get a paper cut? all those are marks placed on your skin, and would classify as "Place No Engraved Image Upon Thyself." well then if you believe that we took the apple and can now think for ourselve then we have to know that even a tiny wound is now classified as against God... so now where do we stand, all we can do is beg for forgiveness, and for all those who say its a comandment it may be but its not Part of the 10 unforgivable commandments.... so im sorry to say but God will forgive you for a tattoo.... AT least if you have a common understanding and some theological mindset you will be able to figure that out
