61 Tattoos facts
While investigating facts about 61 Tattoos, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The 5,300-year-old mummified man found in the Alps had 61 tattoos.
The most ancient evidence of human tattooing is found on a mummified 5,300-year-old Neolithic Iceman who has a total of 61 tattoos of lines and patterns, interestingly most of which overlap with classical acupuncture points used to treat rheumatism, a medical condition that plagued him.
