Op zo'n dag als vandaag is het overduidelijk waar men een intense behoefte aan heeft. Namelijk overstelpt worden met compleet nutteloze zéér waardevolle informatie over tatoeages! En waar kan dat beter dan bij Dreadloki en Haida's Dinsdag Tatoeage-Dag!?
Ja precies! En waar zouden we zijn zonder een passend onderwerp?
He-le-maal nergens! Dus effe kappen nu met dat getreuzel, want vandaag
gaan we het hebben over ...... Famous Tattoos!
History
Ehm ... uiteraard valt er hier niets nuttigs over te zeggen.
Sterker nog, de gezamenlijke leeftijd van uwen gastheren staat
momenteel vrijwel gelijk aan een pensioengerechtigde. Dus hoe moeten
wij nu weten dat ene A.J. van de Backstreet Jongens een tatoeage
heeft. Wellicht nog sterker, ééntje die in werkelijkheid staat
voor 'hondenreet' .....? Nee toch? Dus laten we het erop
houden dat de sommige artiesten misschien ietwat onbekend in de oren
zullen klinken, maar dat heeft dan te maken met een andere tijdspanne.
Denk ik.
The oldest tattoo?
Ozti the iceman
The
five-thousand-year-old frozen body of a Bronze Age hunter was found
between Austria and Italy. His body bore several tattoos. South Tyrol
Museum of Archaeology, ItalyThe body, nicknamed Özti, the iceman, was
found in a glacier and was so well preserved that scientists were able
to make out a number of tattoos. These included a cross on the inside
of the left knee, six straight lines 15 cm above the kidneys and a
series of parallel lines on the ankles. The position of the tattoos has
caused some to speculate that the man had his body marked for
therapeutic reasons, because many of the marks correspond to the
position of acupuncture points.
Royal tattoo
King Harold II of England had a number of tattoos. After his death
at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, his tattoos were used to identify
his body. Many other royals throughout history have been tattooed. In
1862 the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, had a Jerusalem Cross
tattooed on his arm on a visit to the Holy Land. When his sons, the
Duke of Clarence and the Duke of York (later King George V) visited
Japan in 1882 they both had dragons tattooed on their arms. Amongst the
Russian royal family, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and Nicholas
II all bore tattoos. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination
sparked the First World War, was also tattooed. Today royal tattoos are
less common.
Snake charmer
Lady Randolph Churchill
Winston
Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, had a snake tattooed on
her wrist. It became fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries for aristocrats, including women, to be tattooed. At the
time, tattooing was very expensive and people paid large sums for their
designs. Later, as the costs were reduced, tattooing was adopted by the
lower classes and the practice fell out of favour with the social
elite. The strategic positioning of Lady Churchill's tattoo meant that
she could choose not to display it by wearing a bracelet to cover it.
