If you have a tattoo, you’re part of a rich cultural history that dates back at least 8,000 years. Where did this practice of body modification come from, and how has its function changed over time? Addison Anderson tracks the history of getting inked.
Lesson by Addison Anderson, animation by The Think Blot.
i saw a person that had a tattoo and the tattoo was "i hate tattoos"
I will have that one
+creative bianky and sophie I saw a guy with a tattoo that said "Why Do I even Have a Tattoo"

TED-Ed videos are so addictive

when my dad went off to the Navy his mother said to him you better not come back with a girl's name tattooed on your arm he came back with the mom on his arm but instead of a banner on a heart it was a banner and an anchor
Annie L i loved that so much 🙌🏻❤️
Abril Laranga I'm glad you liked it
Annie L My grandmother said the same thing to grandpa. He came back with an anchor tattoo and grandmas name
Ryne _ocerous awww
Would of been funny if her name was spelled wrong on the tattoo
Imagine Voldemort opening up a tattoo shop and giving people one kinda tattoo.
A lightning bolt?
+GadiNator the dark mark
+Zainab A (LanaDragons) ohhhh yeah!
Noseless people
i have a friend with that exact tattoo....
Read it as "The history of tacos" - Was slightly disappointed.
Oh thanks! Now i'm hungry!
I also like tacos more than tatoos
Mans has 1K likes and 0 dislikes even after 6 years
It would have also been interesting for them to go into temporary “tattoos” and body markings like henna. They also didn’t mention the tattoo and body marking culture in west Africa. Overall, pretty interesting video. Would like to understand what causes the change in attitude towards tattoos… is it religiously driven or politically? Great video! Nice animation!

4:57 if you have any doubts about something that is permanent then dont do it.
Rinoa Super-Genius well your mom clearly didnt know that
or just get a Tshirt of that thing, no need to have it for life
yup
@Johnny Awesome O not everyone can afford to get a tattoo removal or cover up so I would say yes for some people its still pretty permanent
I'm from Tahiti and there's 2 things that bothers me with this video, first the correct spelling of "tatao" is "tatau", and second the people of Tahiti are called "maohi", "maori" are our cousin from New Zealand.
thanks
They did write 'tatau'.
From my understanding, the British explorers learned of the word Tatau in Tahiti, but it’s origins are from Samoa and was used across the pacific. By the time they had arrived back in Britain, the pronunciation went from Tatau to Tattoo because of their thick British accents.
In samoa originally only women got tattoos, there is a song we still sing about how the twin goddesses taema and tilafaiga brought their ato au (Bag of tattooing tools) from fitiuta in manu'a, a mans tattoo covers the entirety of the lower torso down to the knees called a malofie, the womens style is called a malu, which is the upper thighs down right above knee level, the malofie is always 1 design, but the malu is very unique, unless you are family (mothers and daughters) no 2 malu will ever look alike, we also tattoo a taulima or malu on the hands and tauvae on the ankles to treat gout and arthiritis (This style of treatment is called fa'apoīna), now its more popular just for decorative use, and its frowned upon to get the malu (Not really considering the fa'apoīna way) or malofie with electric tattoo gun, you should get it through the tooth and stick method, a womans malu usually wont take that many hours, but a mans malofie will take probably around a month or more as it is done in seperate sessions due to how much of the body is tattooed, these tattoos are considered samoan La'ei, or traditional types of clothing, i only have the malu on my right hand but i will get one when i go to samoa
Everytime I ask my husband, do u want to get a tattoo. He always says:" you dont put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari " 😂😂🤣
Id get a custom paint job on one
I think he meant to say 1994 ford aspire
good thing your husband is an Edsel.
I mean that kind of self esteem, impressive
I’m at best a 2013 Honda Civic
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the animation, the style is so pleasing to look at
My great grandfather died as a warprisoner in because of a trecherous german, who told the gestapo about his jewish wife and children. The ship he was sent on was shortly after bombarded by the brits but the war luckily came to an end soon afterwards, my family got away because of his sacrifice and i will get the same tatoo as him. As prisoner 999, this number was tatooed on his neck and i will honor his sacrifice.
Big respect
Don’t ever do a handstand at Church 😬
そうでしたか、以前に国際結婚での徴兵制度、ヨーロッパはドイツ軍、当時はエボラ出血熱が流行り数千万人がアウシュビッツ収容所で死滅、その番号 999は囚人とは異なるかと、感染者と保菌者での検疫を分ける為の刺青数字、何故なら保菌者が大都市へ逃げ込み、また、数千万人の3次感染者を出してました。アウシュビッツ収容所での毒ガスは保菌者や感染者からの二次、3次感染死滅、一週間から二週間で大都市は死滅、ユダヤ人だからではアリマセン、冒険者がアフリカでエボラ出血熱に感染し、帰国、総ての市民に感染犠牲者を出した為です。当時、ベルリンでした私達は、残念な誤解していますよ。日本医師会にて、
You should have mentioned how we Māori used to tattoo moko in more detail, cause it was paiiiinnnnnnfull. Both my parents have moko and other cultural tattoos over their body but they were done with a modern tattoo machine so they were much less painful

I currently have 4 tattoos and not one of them have meant anything to me.
Most people ask me "What does that mean?" All I can say is, "Nothing, I just liked the design."
Tattoos to me never represent anything. Their just art in my eyes, and I like art.
Currently I have a Viking tattooed on my left arm, unfinished, and an Eye of Rah and Egyptian Ankh on my right fore arm, again unfinished, and a playing card with decoration around it.
The fore arm and Viking still have the decoration to be done, but I have absolutely no connection with Nordic or Egyptian culture. I just love Egyptian hieroglyphs and the viking, i thought at least, looked really cool.
My brother, on the other hand, has tattoos that mean something too him. I think i'm the odd one out, but i have never seen tattoos as a symbol, just as art.
What?
I find your attitude fascinating.
***** I suppose, but they don't mean anything past "I like the way they did their art."
By mean something i meant, "This represents my grandmother" or "This represents my nationality." Most people get tattoos for more than just art, i simply don't :L
Yeah, if you get a tattoo that started out with something meaningful, youll see it too often and it will lose its meaning. It will just become ink on your skin
Same, I have an avocado, which beside my dog's name is the only one with a meaning "I love avocados"... Other than that, I have flowers that only got them because they look pretty and two squares because they look nice. Oh, and a zipper cuz zippers are cool.
I don't feel that need of getting a tattoo that symbolize something about my life, for that I have my memory. I just want pretty things.
i love getting tattoos, the whole process is one of my favourite things. its the healing part that i dislike the most.
Omg yes, I just got my first, and actually getting it was fun, but now it's healing and it's so itchy
WHY IS ADDISON NOT NARRATING HIS OWN LESSON
My thought exactly.
My thought exactly.
He drew it.
Yeesss I came to hear him😥
I came to hear him nerd about his own topic. Then i came for this comment.
They should do a video on henna (mendhi) tattoos.
ChelsComics X 😂😂😂😂😂most people doesn't know what henna means
Oh THOSE tattoos? Yeah, big topic in our art class last year.
Yes henna is far away better, we can change Everytime we want it and the artist will always have works, plus no unnecessary pain to get it
Yep
It's not tattoo...it's more like body painting or body staining
I've done a lot of research on the history of tattoos and I still learned a lot.
Loved the animations in this one! You should have these guys work on your videos more often!
I had a teacher who was young & would get tattoos for family members who died & so she got one for her dad & baby son who died because he slept in the wrong position. She left our school later w/out telling any students why & I found out that it was because her 2nd baby boy died... so sad .
Did you know tattoos appeared in ancient Vietnam roughly more 2000 years ago. It was tattooed in ancient people as a symbol to protect themselves from giant dragon that live in water.
I just started my training to do tattoos, so this was awesome!!
It's awesome and I love Snow's voice.
Its nice to see a lesson by the usual narrator Addison Anderson, i really enjoyed it ✨
I got a cherry tattoo for my first tattoo because my favorite color is red and I've always liked cherry flavored sweets over other flavors. To this day I almost always eat cherry sweets, so earlier this week I was like "sure why not"
i have a grim reaper from my wrist to elbow, i got it when i was 20, my first ever tattoo, everyday i look at it, im proud of it, it maybe dark and edgy, but it makes me feel powerfull, not weak and afraid like i was growing up. i have a couple more, and i plan on covering my body in funky pieces of art.
This is so well written.
i've been wanting another tattoo for the longest now.
Gotta love the pronunciation of Maori and moko
Sar Mowan
I saw a guy with a tattoo that said nothing lasts forever had a good chuckle at that one
Ted-Ed videos are so addictive
Crazy how this shows up right when I get a tattoo
one of the best so far :-)
I saw a tattoo once... Was amazing. I was frightened at first, but then i realized it was more afraid of me.
Timlin Alisandro Remember, they can sense fear
Aztecas, mayas, Tainos y muchos más también tenían tatuajes y significados. Desde historias que contar, hasta para símbolo de poder.
I went to the tattoo exhibit at the field museum. It was pretty interesting
Está súper este vídeo, muy bien explicado :3
This is one great video!!!!!
*Sigh* And not a word about Viking tattoos...
it may be offensive, as time seeing used words and pictures, taking on different angles if need be, like the informative drawn fish in the sand. Very art like culture none the less. Seems fitting if art takes on acts of god, to stay quiet.
Why don't you tell us?
***** did you type that into google translate or something?
*****
Well said. Well said indeed.... Srsly set aside the whole grammer thing and i visualize what he is getting at.I guess.Pot helps. And yeah google translate. For sures.
*****
Redo that, but in pig Latin. And then just like drop mic, and be " E may ow tay, ord way" Then, just randomly give out a 'Spek knuckle, go find other comment sections and blow peoples minds!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Tattoos are amazing to look at. And I have seen tattoos to cover scars, like from accident scars and surgery scars. Heck even amputated limbs are tattooed
I think the number one rule of tattoos is not to get a tattoo that is going to inhibit you from getting a job. Stay above the wrists and below the neck. Even your artist will probably tell you that unless you are going to be a rock star or a tattoo artist, getting tattoos you can't hide with work clothing is a bad idea.
+Bezlonir That's not true at all depending on where you live, so it's not the number one rule.
I've seen teachers and people who work in banks with all kinds of crazy tattoos, some even below the wrists and above the neck.
Sure, a full on face tattoo will be looked down upon, but a simple neck tattoo isn't that uncommon here in sweden at least.
@@SlowSlowSlothI think most people are more open to people having tattoos now than 20 years ago. I remember when I was younger many places had tattoos policies where you’ll have to hide them and some places if you have visible tattoos wouldn’t hire you especially in certain professions like law enforcement ( which is no longer a requirement now ) .
Best tattoo has to be 'Leviticus 19:28'
thats hilarious and genius
7Ghos if this is the verse that says not to get tattoos, I have a friend who has is on his ribs. it's hilarious
Rosesburn Onfire rebelling against God is not hilarious or genius.
anthonymusgrove1 it is when you know he doesn't exist...
Laurine DeLamater so sad
I think they're interesting, but I would never want one. I would get bored of it. What someone should invent is a sort of tattoo that changes. Just imagine having a gif embedded in your skin.
'Do I look like I know anything about tattoos? Look at my skin it's flawless!'
The narrator of all the other videos finally makes a (very interesting) lesson and has someone else narrate it
ok..
The Japanese people's faces and poses
I have 3 tattoos. Love the water colour ones. 2 of them displaying the most iconic flower and bird as ID of the country I come frome. And the 3rd one that reads "Strong is beautiful". Because women are strong and that make us beautiful 😍❤
The one time I found a video with a lesson by this Addison Anderson guy, it's actually not narrated by him.
This video makes tattooing seem really cool
love the art
Me too
Where can I find the references used to produce this video?
I want to get a tattoo of a tattoo.
+Ola Nordmann ya dawg!
Dang! I wanted to say that!
I just realised that this lesson is by the guy who voiced most of the Ted-Ed vids, but this one is voiced by another narrator
What's funny is I clicked because I saw Addison Anderson- then clicked pause to write this message when I clearly didn't hear Addison's voice. He's become the voice of TED. I'll click play again to see how it goes.
Well, I do like Michelle Snow, too. All right, then :)
I heard there's a tattoo that becomes brighter or clearer when it reaches to some warm temperature. Anyone can explain? I wanna get it.
The last traditional Tatau Artist is a 90year old Haiti Native women.
She is currently teaching her 12 year old granddaughter in hopes of keeping the tradition alive.
Parabéns pelo conteudo.
I love your videos
Lol Ted just made me want to get a tattoo
If I ever got a tattoo, then I would get a ruler, to scale, that had both centimetres and inches. (Although, I don't usually need to use inches, since I'm Canadian)
I find it ironic that you had the Yakuza posing in onsen (bathhouses). Onsen banned tattoos to keep the Yakuza out as they were the only people to have tattoos, even today many onsen don't allow tattoos .
I'm from newzealand and are native Marie's have lots of tattoos
y'all are both wrong, are you guys pakeha?
That is most definitely not how you pronounce Maori.
Braden Miles had to go back to hear it again
Braden Miles Also pretty sure it wasn't only in Auschwitz that they tattooed numbers on people
how do you say it?
Ce Nonya Mow-ri (important to roll the 'R'). It is a little more complex, this is about as simplified as it could be. the 'Mow' is really more like (ma-oh) said as one sound.
+Reuben Hayward Oh ok I thought as much lol. She REALLY was off then!
Why didn't Addison Anderson narrates his own Ted-Ed video? I love it when he narrates the Ted-Ed videos.
Chains under palms, A.D. to my outer left hand, delta sign to my outer right hand, 'Eppur Si Muove' with big bold letters to me upper back. Exactly showing who i am and what i like.
I don't understand this word at 1:37 "... such a riskae thing."
is there an anglicised version of risqué other than risky : )
The original name for Britain was Pretani (the tattooed/painted people),Roman scholars said in Britain the painted markings grew with the native Barbarians,and tattoos were one of the first practices the Normans adopted from the natives.
interesting.. and can I get a script of this video??
Are you the Addison Anderson that did the animations for the concussion Ted Talk?
I remember when I looked up my family name and found out that I'm tied in with the picts. It makes a lot of sense for a lot of things
I'm very surprised the lesson by classic TED-Ed narrator Addison Anderson isn't narrated by Addison Anderson.
This I hadn't noticed: a lesson by Addison Anderson, *not* narrated by him?
Can’t wait till I can get a tattoo
My grandfathers had a tattoo from Aushwitz, a reminder of the second class treatment he experienced
"Second class treatment" is putting it lightly.
More like 100000000000000000000000000000000th class treatment.
So Addison Anderson researched and wrote the video but didn't narrate it? He is the best narrator
I'd like a Polynesian tattoo sleeve & a turtle on my neck because I love turtle necks.. lol
excellent
I think they could have also touched on the tattoo in the Russian culture, specifically the criminal implication and why people still avoid them for that reason (although not that much anymore, but the sentiment is still there).
I’m going to get TED-ED tattooed on my ted head
a tattoo i would want is perhaps one of the symbols i made for my OCs, or maybe even one of my OCs
Bear paw on my left shoulder, signifies the nickname big bear. The compass rose on my right is for my village, a fishing community and so I can't find my way home. And my last name on my back in jersey style.
i want to find and see those roman tatoos...they facinate me
Haha watched this in class today :)
Almost all Indigenous people have tattooing ceremonies, not just the Maori or Polynesian. Most of these ceremonies were lost due to the Colonization of the North and South American Continents. Might want to add that in there too.
-How much vocal fry do you want for this video?
-Y E S
I have my day of birth in Mayan Calendar, since I live here in Guatemala Central America, the Mayan culture is part of my life and the reminder that my roots are from. :D
I like to look at tattoos of strangers and think about the meanings they could have.
1:37
You: Risky
Me, an intellectual: *risk-kayyyyy*
Risqué*
Fun fact: most tattooed Maori I met have at least one arm tattooed the traditional way, but also have some the modern way
Tattooing dates back far beyond 7th century in Japan, way before it was used to mark crimes on criminals. It's documented in Chinese literature when they visited Japan in the 3rd century AD. (And archeological finding suggest way before that)
How do you get to be such a good voice actress? ; ~ ; I mean. dang it. I struggle so much with words that have similar pronunciation, or way too many Ts and/or Ss.
no mention of the celts?
In some cultural tattoo have some very positive meaning
Super video
I'm sorry but when I saw Tahiti I couldn't stop thinking about Dutch.
Good video, as always.
I have three butterflies on left arms remember when my mom passed away big beautiful monarch butterfly landed on my left elbow n 3 yrs ago I got Cystic Fibrosis awareness ribbon on my right arm with rose. I have Cystic Fibrosis
Ok, now I want a tatoo.
- How much it costs?
- 100$
- ...
... Never mind ...
Not including tip
@@JiannaSandoval I don't live in the US. Here we don't use to give tips.
Moreover, in my opinion, workers should be paid more by the employer, and not being forced to count on tips.
It's a shame the Inuit were not included. They were covered in tattoos thousands of years ago. It was a major part of the culture. Inuit span the entire circumpolar region of the planet.
You forgot that in some cities in Japan, it has become illegal to visit bath houses and beaches bearing tattoos.
