The oldest preserved tattoos we know today belong to Ötzi the Iceman, who lived more than 5,000 years ago. His body contains dozens of simple lines and crosses, showing that tattooing was already a developed practice deep in prehistory. 🔍 What you’ll discover: • How old the earliest known human tattoos are • What Ötzi the Iceman’s tattoos looked like • How prehistoric people could tattoo without modern needles • What pigments ancient tattoo artists may have used • Why some early tattoos may have had therapeutic purposes • What ancient Egyptian tattoos reveal about body art • Why tattooing may be much older than surviving archaeological evidence Humans probably began tattooing long before the oldest examples we have found. Because skin almost never survives for thousands of years, most prehistoric tattoos disappeared along with the people who wore them. What remains shows that permanently decorating—or perhaps treating—the human body is an incredibly ancient tradition that appeared long before modern civilization.
