1000 TATTOOS cont.
By Hank Schiffmacher

... The art of Tattooing is as old as humanity. At one time tattoos had a religious meaning, and tattooing was a ritual act, but over the centuries their meaning and status changed until tattoos came to be identified with the lower and even criminal classes. In recent years this image has changed, and tattooing has cast off most of the social restrictions and stigmas.
