The first mention of tattoos found in the diary of Joseph Banks - a naturalist who traveled on board the ship "Endeavour, commanded by Captain Cook himself. Record, dated 1769, reads: "I now I will talk about how they are indelibly labeled themselves. Each of them gets special marks, which denote their character or situation.

And in the 21 st century, tattoos have retained their original purpose - to pass around some information about yourself. They want to say forty-five female roguish form or an accountant from London, his tattoos - we can only guess. The same applies to all of these extreme tattoos.
