FAQ About The Evolution of Traditional Arab Tattooing

How were traditional Arab tattoos applied onto the skin?

Traditional Arab tattoos were usually applied using rudimentary methods involving hand-made tools. Typically, a needle or sharp instrument would be used to puncture the skin and introduce ink made from natural sources. This process was fairly rudimentary compared to modern tattooing machines, but it was effective for the styles and techniques used at the time.
