" For thousands of years, people of almost every culture on earth have decorated their bodies with tattoos. From ancient warriors to the current craze, ANCIENT MYSTERIES goes under the skin to explore the fascinating history of this ancient practice. It is a timeless and evocative ritual that has been adopted by modern society. Tattoos are seemingly everywhere now, but unlike many modern fads, they have a rich, romantic past. TATTOOING examines the origins of this ancient practice and explores its booming popularity today. Journey back in time to see how the ancients used tattoos to mark rites of passage, to brand slaves and to celebrate the bravery of warriors. Steve Gilbert, editor of the Tattoo History Source Book traces the history of tattooing from the first recorded evidence to today. And acclaimed tattoo artists demonstrate their skill for the camera, and offer insight into the commitment and meaning involved in these permanent decorations. From the jungles of New Guinea to the streets of New York, this is a sweeping look at the ancient heritage of a modern craze."
