Q. I need research regarding cultures that either embrace or frown upon tattoos and piercings around the world. They have to have credible sources. Can anyone help me?
A. The oldest known tattoo was made by running a string under the skin. I assume coated in charcoal.
There is a tribe, that still exists, where all the women have face tattoos. They are intracate and normally done by the Grandmother. This right of passage started to prevent their women from being stolen. They figured other tribes/invaders would not want disfigured women. Now it's something girls look foreward to.
I've read these facts in magazines, but I don't remember where.
National Geographic might have good info.

New to tattoos: How do I go about describing a detailed/realistic tat without having an exact picture to show?
Q. New to tattoos: How do I go about describing a detailed/realistic tat without having an exact picture to show? I mean, I want something sweet, like an angelic warrior woman with a beautiful face, half blindfolded in half-mail half-cloth, holding a dagger in one hand, and a bible in the other :P. But how can an artist show you what you want?
A. For the love of god, please bring reference materials with you to the tattoo shop. There is nothing more annoying than someone who tries to describe what they want (except someone who comes in the shop wanting a 1/2 sleeve and wants us to "draw something up" but wants to spend $100).
Go to the library and make copies from books, print pictures from the Internet, purchase books at the book store, etc.
Reference materials are a MUST.
