Oldest tats on record

From Smithsonian: "The debate about the world's oldest tattoos is over — they belong to Otzi, the European Tyrolean Iceman who died and was buried beneath an Alpine glacier along the Austrian-Italian border around 3250 B.C. Otzi had 61 tattoos across his body, including his left wrist, lower legs, lower back and torso. … The art of tattooing is ancient, but when it began is unknown. Written records date the art of tattooing back to 5th-century B.C. in Greece — and maybe centuries earlier in China. Beyond that, evidence of tattooing is found in art, from tattoo tools and on preserved human skin; the latter is the best evidence and only direct archaeological proof."
