The "Ice man" a.k.a "Ozzy", discovered into a glacier of the ustrian Alps was tattoed with a series of simple (crude?) symbols on some of its joints. Upon medical/legal examination of its remains by mean of medical imagery it was discovered that the man was sufferring frm arthitis / arthrosis ( I don't remember weel enough). It has been suggested that these were medical tatoos. I recommand you google "ozzy" iceman. you can actually see the man, its body is very well preserved, the tatoos can be seen even today. The man is old, dating back to 6000 thousand years or so, "copper age or era" Very interesting article, on a topic that is too often the subject of false knowledge or misrepresentation

You might also want to look into Thai tattooing. Here in Thailand many men have traditional (Buddhist) symbols tattooed on their backs, just below the neck. These can be incantations to protect the person from anything from bad luck to bullets and are applied by monks using (bamboo?) needles. They may artistically speaking not as beautiful or as fancy as the Japanese tattoos but are interesting nonetheless. Great article. You might also want to look into Thai tattooing.

"Later, the fashion spread to both lovers." "...in addition to it symbolizing lower class connotations."Good article. Needs some work on the writing/editing. “During the Edo period, courtesans would sometimes tattoo the name of their lovers on their arm.” “Later, the fashion spread to both lovers.” “…in addition to it symbolizing lower class connotations.”
