13.10 Body Art: Tattoos and Henna

  • Summary

  • If you do have one, you are part of a very long-standing worldwide tradition. Tattoos have existed since prehistoric times in many cultures, where they were often (but not always) for women. Evidence for henna is not nearly so old, but then again, how could we expect it to be? There may have been any number of women and cultures who used henna without leaving us any record. This episode tells the story from Spain to India. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.
