In addition, in Egypt and Nubian (small kingdom located along the Nil River, in northern Sudan and southern Egypt), there are also tattoos on mummies dating back to 2000 BC. Historians suggest that the birth of the tattoo may have come from the Greeks, Old English and Old Germans, etc.

  

Not only that, the birth of tattooing was discovered again from Europe and Native Americans. In the records of explorer James Cook from the 1769 expedition to the South Pacific, there is mention of the appearance of the Tahitian tattau tattoo language, meaning "to mark". However, in the period of European and American society at that time, tattooing was not yet developed and was considered a strange phenomenon.

 

In 1992, on the border between Austria and Italy, a frozen body of a man dating back 5,000 years was found, with 58 tattoos on his body, the motifs are small dots, and some lines only.
