FAQ About Influence of Indigenous Tattoo Traditions on Modern Body Art
What are some ancient materials used in indigenous tattoos?
Traditional indigenous tattoos have historically used natural materials available in the environment. For instance, Polynesians might use sharpened bones or tusks to apply ink, while the Inuit would use sinew or bone needles. The ink itself could be made from soot, charcoal, or plant-based materials. These materials are chosen for their availability and cultural significance.
