   Hi, as a Christian tattooist i would like to make a comment.
   The word tattoo never existed in the english language until 1769 when Joseph Banks, the naturalist, aboard Captain Cooks ship H.M.S. Endeavour made reference to it, describing how in Samoan culture they marked themselves with a tattoo ( his spelling being tatau).
   So when you read in the Bible Leviticus 19:28…you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you, i am the Lord………. The word tattoo has been added……… It is not in the King James Version as the word tattoo did not exist, at the time it was translated.

     Thanks Stan… fascinating stuff. Is there any way I could use some of your handi-work on my site? I’m looking to up-date it somewhat…

       Hi Chris, I would be happy to send you anything you would think appropriate. I have photos of my work or is it the historical back ground you are interested in? Sadly there isn’t much in the way of written history. Stan
