Tattoos

Medical tattoo. A medical tattoo is a tattoo used to treat a condition, communicate information, or mark a body location.

Historical uses[edit] A crude practice of corneal tattooing was performed by Galen in 150 CE. He tried to cover leucomatous opacities of the cornea by cauterizing the surface with a heated stilet and applying powdered nutgalls and iron or pulverized pomegranate bark mixed with copper salt; the practice was revived in the 1800s.[1] With the rise of Christianity, tattooing declined and eventually became banned by a papal edict in 787 CE.[2] The practice of corneal tattooing was revived by Louis Von Wecker in the 1870s.[3][4] To provide medical information[edit] During the Cold War, threats of nuclear warfare led several U.S. states to consider blood type tattooing.

Nunavut (CNN) — Candice Pedersen remembers hearing about her great-grandmother's tattoos and wanting the same traditional markings on her skin.

"She had them on her forehead, her cheeks and her chin, on her wrists and all the way up her arm. When my mom was a little girl, she would trace each of the lines with her finger and remember each marking," Pedersen, a guide for One Ocean Expeditions in the Arctic, told CNN Travel recently. For millennia, Inuit women would get tattoos with needles made of bone or sinew soaked in suet. Each tattoo signified an important accomplishment -- maybe skinning a fox or sewing a seal-skin parka. Pedersen was captivated by the stories, but as a teenager she was pretty sure she would only ever see tattoos "in history books. " When missionaries arrived in Canada's Arctic about 100 years ago, they proclaimed the tattoos evil and banned women from getting them. Tattoo hunter. Whang-od - Recherche Google.
