| About the Owner Midnight Sun Tattoo was the first Tattooist to be registered in the South Ribble , Preston area and was established in April 1994. The proprietor, Dave Watson, had spent most of his working life in science laboratories spanning over 16 years, starting off in the chemical side of the job and eventually transferring over to microbiology and then into management within the department concerned. After leaving industry and a spell in further education he needed a complete change of career (having enough of British industry and it probably having enough of him!!). With a chance meeting or two and an enquiry into the trade he managed to acquire a short apprenticeship with “DAZZA” (a relation to the LYNX brand of tattoo products) based in Tamworth and after some practice, set up his own business working from a private studio based at his home (as it was thought that this would be more practical) and to work by appointment as this would benefit the clients as there would be no ‘hanging around' time involved. I suppose the rest is …Umm.... History!? |

The Origin of the Word ' Tattoo' Tattoos are a very old form of body art and have been practiced from a very long time in civilized human history. The history of tattoos is very ancient and seems to be of thousands of years old and even before the birth of Christ. The recorded indication of tattoos comes from the ancient Egypt where wall paintings as old as 2000 BC have been suggesting the use of tattoos in the ancient Egyptian society. The etymology of word tattoo provides few very different and interesting answers to the current day practicing of making permanent colored marks on human body or tattooing. The word “tattoo” can have many origins as words in many different languages have the same meaning and similar pronunciation. Different civilizations have been recorded to use the word tattoo or at least practicing of coloring their body parts for different reasons have been recorded. “Tattoo” or “Tatao” or “Tatu” The Polynesian word “tatao”, which means “to tap”, can be the originator of this word though researchers suggest an Tahitian word “tatu” which means to mark something to be the distant ancestor of the modern word “tattoo”. Many different cavitations in the past and few in the current world have been performing the practice of coloring their body part for different reasons. In few groups or religions, tattoo is an integral part of their religion and each person following the religion is required to have that tattoo mark on their body symbolizing the person authority as a group member. Even modern day gangs are seen to have a particular mark on their shoulders signifying their group name. |
