A Brief History Of Traditional African Tattoos

The practice of tattooing has been documented in Africa for centuries, with evidence of some of the oldest tattoos in the world being discovered in Egyptian mummies. The practice is believed to have originated in sub-Saharan Africa and has been used as a form of body decoration and spiritual expression since ancient times.
