No one knows exactly when or where the first tattoo artist created his work, but we do know that some of the earliest mummies found in Asia and Europe have tattoos.

Tattoo art has always fascinated the human imagination. Tattoos were primarily used to indicate a person's status instead of decorative purposes. Tattoo art is still considered a lower-class macho symbol, traditionally practised among yakuza(gangsters) and construction workers. Tattoos now adorn the bodies of attorneys, doctors, teachers, politicians and even members of the clergy, a fact that only further demonstrates the acceptance tattoos are experiencing.

Tattoos have become very much a part of the mainstream, but then there are still a few who can really turn a head or in some cases, with some absolutely outragous tattoos. It all comes down to freedom of expression and some people like to show theirs through 'Tattoo Art free'. The Tattoo industry has exploded in recent years and has almost a cult following. Being seen on rock stars and Filmstars alike. Being ultra cool. Safety has now become paramount and tattoo artists are becoming famous the world over like some fashion designers.

Tattoo Art is now a popular gift to give on a special occasion. A boyfriend to give his girlfriend to represent a bonding of their relationship, or for them both to go to the tattoo parlor together and have each others names or a meaningful symbol tattoo on their bodies. To show commitment to each other. Their are several free websites that you can pick your designs and then take them to the Tattoo Artist. As you will need to choose carefully your design and you do not want to regret it at a later date.
