Where did the word tattoo originate from?
Tattoo is actually a combination of two words from the Polynesian language. The word "Tata" means to tap repeatedly by hand. The word "Au" means color. Due to the way that tattoos are traditionally given, sailors travelling through the polynesian islands would ask for "Tata" "Au". Therefore evolving into one word known as "Tattoo".
