Oooooooh Kay!! I think we got into this one once before but let's run it down again......Most folks assume that tattooing got it's start in the south sea Islands in the pacific....When Capt. Cook's men saw tattooing on some of the island natives it was their first experience....The even took the natives word TATAU, which literally means 'to tap repeatedly' as the word to describe any human made bodily markings set permanently into the skin.
Well, since then we know thru archeologists work and the discovery of the 5000 + yr. old Ice Man's frozen body, found between the Italian and Swiss alps that the first known tattooing was in mid-Europe.
We have deduced that the original markings were to show the position and rank in the tribe, say a hunter would have certain markings, a warrior may have been different markings, and yet even different for the sons and daughters of the Chief, like 'royalty' so to speak....During the summer time someone could see a person in the distance and not be able to make out their facial features, but they could see the markings on their clothes in the winter, and on their bodies in the summer....No bans on nudity back then...
Now this is my take on the very first Tattooist!!!
Og and Bog were cave men, and Og ran a cave of ill repute, prostitution being the worlds oldest occupation, and one day Bog said he wanted a go at one of the girls, but he was a little short on the clamshells that they used for money. Bog said O.K. but don't take too long.
After a bit Og noticed Bog hadnt come back outta the cave and went in to see what was up....Bog was still very engaged with the young lady and wouldn't get up when Og told him to....Not to be outdone Og grabbed a fireband from a close by fire and jukked Bog in the butt!! At which point Bog got off the gal quick.....
A few days later Og noticed Bog down by the swimming hole and the mark was still there!!! After thinking about it for a bit, Og decided to to set up a new business not only becoming the first tattooist but also the first entreprenuer to deversify..........TatuBaron

Tattooing started at the dawn of human existence. There have been preserved bodies with tattoos and tattooing tools found by archeologists that date back at the very most 7,000 years, but it is highly supported that it was practiced for much longer than that. On a side note, the Old Testament which refers to the marking of the flesh a sin...states that the earth is at very most 5,000 years old...tad bit of confliction there.
Which makes more money tattooing or piercing?
depending on ur skill at tattooing, tattoos will make you more money, but most people start off with peircings and work an internship with a tattoo artist. Response : You need to know much more about anatomy and the bodies ability to heal as a body piercer, more so than in tattooing. Body piercing is good money but you need to know your stuff and you need to be ready to learn everyday. It isn't a jumping off ground to get into tattooing as previously mentioned, if you want to tattoo stick to tattooing but if you want to pierce than be ready to learn put the time in to gaining the knowledge.
