Tattoo Etymology - The History of The Word and The Art of Tattooing

When we think of a tattoo we do not often stop to consider how this odd word came to be. Many people still associate tattoos with Sailors, but the origins of this word and indeed the practice are little known to most people. It's interesting to see how the word can mean different things not just over time but across cultures and these add to the art form of tattooing that we know today.
