FACT: A tattoo is a permanent mark or design made on the body when pigment is inserted into the dermal layer of the skin through ruptures in the skin’s top layer. Contemporary tattoos are applied by using an electric tattoo machine with needles that rapidly puncture the skin with an up and down motion something like that of a sewing machine.
The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word ‘tattau’, which means “to mark,” and was first mentioned in explorer James Cook’s records from his 1769 expedition to the South Pacific. Captain Cook first used a derivation of this term in 1771 on a narrative of his voyages to New Zealand and Tahiti.
