Once they were considered to be the mark of riff raff, lowlifes and gangsters but since the 1980's, tattoos have become socially acceptable in the West. They were all the rage in the nineties and today are common fashion accessories. Tattoo artists have moved uptown from the sleazier quarters and earned an unprecedented level of respect, with some of the more talented ones exhibiting their designs in mainstream art galleries. How did it all start? Read on!

History of Tattoos

The earliest record of tattooing comes from Egypt. From the land of the pharaohs it spread to Europe and the Far East. In Ancient Greece, tattoos were used to identify fellow members of secret societies and the Romans used tattoos to mark criminals. In Ancient Japan they signified social status and in New Zealand the Maori people differentiated members of different tribes by their tattoos. In Europe, tattooing was popular up until the 12th century. The people of northern Europe would often tattoo their family crest on their arms (a practice which still exists today). For some reason tattooing vanished from Europe for several centuries after the Norman invasion of Britain in 1066. Apparently, the Normans were not keen on tattoos!

Paris - international city of culture, fashion and romance. And the shopping's not bad either. Home to many famous monuments and museums, Paris is best enjoyed not as a series of tourist sights but as a general experience. Wander through the Latin Quarter, stroll through the Jardin de Luxembourg, take a cruise along the river Seine and drink in the atmosphere of one of the most beautiful, vibrant cities in the world.

Tour Eiffel
The Eiffel Tower, undoubtedly the Paris landmark and must-see monument, is 324 metres high and weighs a total of 10,000 tons. Built for the World Fair in 1889, the tower took two years, two months and five days to complete.
You can take the stairs or the lift up. There are souvenir shops and the Altitude 95 restaurant with its decor reminiscent of an airship on the first level, while the second level offers an opportunity to enjoy a gastronomic menu at the smart Jules Verne restaurant, 125 metres above ground level. Once you get to the third and final platform, you'll be up there among the clouds with an amazing 360-degree view of the city.
Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe stands in the centre of the Place de l'toile, at the western end of the Champs-lysées. It is the linchpin of the "historic axis" (L'Axe historique) leading from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace, a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route leading out of Paris. The monument stands over 51 metres in height and is 45 metres wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence (North Korea built a slightly larger Arch of Triumph in 1982 for the 70th birthday of Kim Il-Sung). It was commissioned in 1806, after the victory at Austerlitz, by Napoleon Bonaparte at the peak of his fortunes.
