I have five tattoos! Do you have any tattoos?
I love them! I have 4. Are yours symbolic?
A couple of them are. I have a Chinese symbol that means family and an arrow that symbolizes moving forward. Are yours symbolic?
One is. It's Hebrew for forgiven and another is a family tat. I had no idea that tattoo means to write. 
Oh! I didn't know that either! That's really interesting! I wonder how far back tattooing goes?
History of tattooing
Tattooing has been practiced across the globe since at least Neolithic times, as evidenced by mummified preserved skin, ancient art and the archaeological record. Both ancient art and archaeological finds of possible tattoo tools suggest tattooing was practiced by the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe. However, direct evidence for tattooing on mummified human skin extends only to the 4th millennium BC. The oldest discovery of tattooed human skin to date is found on the body of Ötzi the Iceman, dating to between 3370 and 3100 BC. Other tattooed
has stated: "I really think if you have a tattoo you have to wonder about what kind of future you have ahead of you. As an employer, I wouldn't employ someone with tattoos as I would wonder what customers would think about them. For me, tattoos are just a way for people to find attention who haven't found another way in their life to achieve it by conventional means."
