Tatoo part. 1

To step into a little on this subject as broad as interesting both from its beginning, its history and artistic branches, let's start talking about the origin of the word itself ... He says he comes "Ta" of the Polynesian "strike," and sound "TAU TAU", from the stroke of one bone against another on the skin, possibly also of Samoan "tautau" seginifica to mark or strike twice, and incorporates the Portuguese French alert by "tattooing". Japanese would be "Irezumi" (Inserting paints) for those designs that are cumbersome using traditional methods, while "tattoo" is used to design the Japanese. The Latin word for "Tatuaje" or in Portuguese (TATTOO), is a stigma (Brand made ??with a strong istrumento). In South America tends to say "TATTOOS" or use the term "Armadillo". In atualidadea most people carry the body marked by tattoos, either as a cause of remembrance, artwork, etc ... nostos each of motives or reasons for us to take forever, if you are interested in sharing the history of tattooing, so important to you can send an email with a photo and brief story of his "tattoo." Next week: Amunet and Otzi, the oldest people with tattoos.
