He was estimated to have lived 5,000 years ago and unbelievably had 58 tattoos all over his body.

The ancient Greeks and Romans used tattoos to identify slaves and criminals.

Now very popular are the tribal design tattoos which can be traced back to the older tribes such as the Celtics (Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), Maori Tribe (indigenous people of New Zealand), The Haida Tribe (indigenous people along the west coast of North America), the Marquesan (Polynesian inhabitants of the Marquises Islands) and the tribes of Borneo.
