A brief article on ancient tattooing

Ancient Tattoo's

Tattooing has been a standard human practice since around the Neolithic times. Otzi the Iceman, a frozen man found in the Otz valley in the Alps, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BC,  had approximately 57 carbon tattoos, they consisted of simple dots and lines on his lower spine. He also had tattoos behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. These tattoos were thought to be a form of healing because of their placement which resembles acupuncture. Thier is also evidence of ancient tattoo's on mummies found in egypt. Mummies bearing tattoos date back to the end of the second millennium BC.

How do i know if my tattoo is infected

Infections that can be transmitted by the use of unsterilized tattoo equipment, poor quality or contaminated ink, cheap tattoo needles, dirty tattoo studios, not keeping the tattoo clean, unsanitray inviroments such as a dirty house and sometimes even polluted or contaminated water can cause infection.
Some of these infections can lead to problems such as herpes simplex virus, tetanus, staph, fungal infections, some forms of hepatitis, tuberculosis, and HIV.

If you think your tattoo is infected it's best to consult your local gp.
