If you mean "Was the Wichita .......?" the answer is definitely not.

Many tribes throughout North, Central and South America practised tattooing at some time in their history, partly as a sign of adulthood since the process was a painful and memorable one.

Paintings of the Virginia natives at the time of Pocahontas show the men and women to be tattooed; warriors carried designs on their backs indicating their village or tribal chief, while both men and women had their arms, legs and faces tattooed.

The Arapaho tribe of the plains may have got their name from two Crow words meaning "tattooed designs, many".

High-born Haida men had family crests tattooed on their legs.

Among the Thompson tribe young men were tattooed at puberty.

There are many more examples.
