Tattooing is part of our culture

You know Tom and I are into tattoos and we watch this show called Miami Ink. It's on TLC if you have the channel you should give it a watch. One of the artists on the show is named Darren Brass, in one episode he mentioned that tattooing is one of the oldest art forms in our culture, he mentioned the same thing about graffitti, but that is a subject for another post. This made me think, there is evidence of tattooing on every continent, excluding the odvious ones. People have been getting tattooed all over the world as far back as our history goes and more and more people are getting them every day. At the rate it's going it won't be long before Kevin is sporting a couple. Think about it, that would be something that an alien culture would recognize about our species. We are a species in which a huge percentage mark their bodies with art and colors. I bet no one ever thought of that before.
