Did You Know That About Tattoo?
Did You Know That the word “tattoo” derives
from the Polynesian “tattaow” or “tattow” and came into English as a loan word.
Over the time its spelling was changed to the modern “tattoo” we all use today.
Did You Know That the first written
references to the word "tattoo" appear in writings from Captain James
Cook's voyages to the South Pacific in the late 1700s.
Did You Know That the first documented
professional tattoo artist in the US was Martin Hildebrandt, a German immigrant
who arrived in Boston
in 1846. Between 1861 and 1865, he tattooed soldiers on both sides in the American Civil War.
