Is there some cultural basis for tattoos? What do you all think of body art, permanent tattoos, and is that a practice in Africa, and hence the desire to get tattoos by alot of African Americans.

There is. My mother had tattoos on her inner forearms.

I have 3 tattoos, and got them years ago, before they became a fad with black folks.

I have an ankh, The Eye of Heru and Queen Nefertiti on my back. That's it for me though
