You may wonder where and when tattoos originated. Well, around 10,000 years ago, there was this man who accidentally obtained a small wound and rubbed it with a clay colored stone and the color of the clay stayed onto his skin. Through that small accident, tattoos arose and gave rise to the ancient people through varied purposes.

Watching the holiday advertisements put out by the big box stores brought to mind these simple items from days past. Items that I am sure received just as many squeals of delight as today’s iPods and elaborate toys do.
