Tiny Dancer


According to Archaeology's Interactive Dig Hierakonpolis, "musical entertainers and acrobats are often shown with tattoos in New Kingdom Egypt. This drawing of an acrobatic dancer (Ramesside period, ca. 1300 B.C.) is of especially interest. Note the tattoos on her lower arm and across her rib cage, and take a good look at her "loin cloth.'"
