Tattoos Comments

6) As Ramayanam is said to be 12000 years old, this would have been the ver first tattooes in history

5) … tattooed on the body of Indra, the maniac.

4) When the sage came to know this, he cursed Indra that Indra shall have a thousand yonis (vaginas) all over his body. I tend to believe that the sage had got a thousand vaginas tattooed

3) When Indra failed to seduce Ahalya, he appeared before her as her husband Sage Gautama and formicated with her.

2) But you seem to have missed one story (so I think) from India. In Ramayanam, you will find the story of Ahalya and Sage Gowtama

Very good. Dear poet, you have done a lot of research on the history of tattoos. Loved it. (Continued)

Informative and interesting piece. Liked it and 5****

I hate Tattoos, whatever be the history behind it but to me it is nothing more than show-off and arrogance. Nice miniscule details. Full ****

The sailors hoped those symbols would be life saving....blind beliefs and superstions do still exist in our society though the modern civilization is miles and miles away from conventional superstitious beliefs! Your poem speaks a lot about tattoos...liked it.
