When we last broached this subject we learned that the Polynesians had actually created the word Tattoo by a variation of their own word TATU which means to mark. But let’s not forget to include all cultures who have had a hand in creating what skin art has become in the last 100 years.
Japanese Skin Art
The Japanese originated some of the cultural body suits as well. Their body art came in a bit more colorful version then the Polynesian version but additionally was reserved only for the men. It was unacceptable and unheard of for a woman to have skin art. The Japanese believed that the skin art itself acted as wards in protection from evils. This is why warriors were commonly painted more fiercely the more skill and cunning they showed in battles. Japanese skin art collectors commonly ink dragons, demons and strong warriors on their backs to prevent evil from ‘sneaking up behind’ the bearer of the tattoo. The art form of cultural body suits eventually spread far into Asia and was discovered by none other then the 12th century explorer Marco Polo.Marco Polo then unleashed the Asian concept of body suits onto English Society.
Real Tribal Skin Art
The Aztec, Incan, Mayan and various Native American tribes have practiced tattooing since ancient times. The North American Iroquois Indians shocked European settlers and pioneers with their immense body and skin arts. Some Native Americans became relative curiosities in some of the courts of Europe because of their tattoos and piercings. In the areas of the United States that are now known as Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri resided a large Native American tribe known as the Osage Nation. The Osage nation adorned themselves with skin art as a form of their social status. But unlike some of the other Native American tribes, the most heavily tattooed members were the females. Indeed, the more tattoos a woman had the higher her social rank would become. In most Native American tribes, young warriors should always receive their tattoos from a Shaman or the tribal medicine man.
