The GYPSY'S SKIN ART SHOW

The GYPSY'S SKIN ART SHOW is dedicated to promotion of the world's oldest art forms: Tattooing and Piercing. Every week The GYPSY will cover topics concerning the Body Art lifestyle and will answer questions about Tattooing and Piercing.

I can accept questions on proper tattooing and piercing procedures, including but not limited to, licensing, sterilization, studio promotion, safety, what to look for in an artist/studio, aftercare, apprenticeship, studio management and proper design/piercing placement. I can also rate artistic quality. We also can answer questions on tattoo/piercing resources, ie; books, videos, studios and artists/piercers.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE ASKING YOUR QUESTION: I will NOT answer "How To" questions. If you want to know how to tattoo or pierce do the right thing and seek out a formal apprenticeship. Tattooing and piercing are not a "Learn On Your Own" professions.

ALSO: Please DO NOT ask me about tattoo or piercing prices. Rates vary from region to region. You will need to check with studios in your area for their current rates.

BODY ART HISTORY

A RETROSPECT OF THE TATTOO AND PIERCING ARTS

THUS BEGINS OUR TALE OF THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL TATTOO ARTIST!

(FACT OR FICTION? YOU DECIDE!)

THE DAWN OF TATTOOING

AND NOW THE REAL STORY

Above,  you have just read my fictionalized account of how tattooing and piercing began. The truth of the matter is this.... No one truly knows how, where or why BODY ADORNMENT began. Everything is supposition steaming from what little we do know. To accurately paint a picture of the history of  Tattooing & Body Piercing one must look at it as a large puzzle with many pieces. What we do know for certain is that tattooing is the oldest form of art in the world, predating cave paintings. Every culture on earth practices body adornment of one form or another and the art is constantly in a stage of transition. Let us look at and connect a few pieces of the puzzle and see what they form.

(note the tattoos on the arms and around the eyes of Egyptian Queen Tsei )

(tattooed lines and crosses were found along the Iceman's spine, knee and ankle joints.)
