In Europe and America tattooing came relatively late, and the Europeans and the Americans were so surprised by the tattoos that are in the 18th and 19th centuries went in circuses and in addition to elephants, tigers and fire eaters looking tattooed Indians.

Tattooing on our part of earth is dating back to the Turkish occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, when the Turks kidnapped children and led them to janissaries and girls forcibly taken and detained in Islam. Catholic Croats began to tattoo Christian symbols to be repulsive to Turks and to emphasize belonging to the Catholic faith.

Tattooing trough history was used for various purposes throughout the world, the oldest specimen was found on the remains of Peruvian mummies which was estimated at six thousand years before our era. Various tools was used to create decorative markings on the body, and today's tattoo machines are made from engraving machine whitch, and if the invention is not stolen, designed and built Tomas Edison
