Tattoos have been applied to human skin for thousands of years. In 12,000 B.C. ash rubbed into skin cuts at bereavement ceremonies. Tattoo pigment bowls and needles have been found in Western Europe dating back to 8,000 B.C. Egyptian mummies have been found dating back to 4,000 B.C. that have tattoos as well as evidence of attempted removal. In 543 A.D. the Greek Aetius first documented the attempt at tattoo removal using salabrasion (abrasion of the skin with salt).
