Tattoos have a long history that seems to begin in Polynesia. It was employed by the different tribes with the purpose of granting hierarchy and respect to whoever wore it within the tribal community. It began at a very early age and practically the purpose was to cover the body in its entirety. The Maori in New Zealand still keep the tradition alive and usually get tattoos to confuse the enemy during battles.
In the case of North America, indigenous tattoos were used as part of their rituals. The passage from puberty to adulthood was the right time to get tattooed in order to protect the soul. In Central America, they were used to commemorate the fallen in battle, while in South America, they were used for their rites, but in a temporary way, since their pigments were composed of vegetable, animal and plant fats.
In the Far East, specifically in Japan, tattoos were banned in 1842 when the state opened to the world market, despite being one of the most important traditions in the world.
Eventually, tattoos ceased to be used for decades, but with the Hippie subculture in the 1960s and 1970s they reappeared with an artistic connotation and since then, they have proliferated worldwide.
