Feel the Lineage
Our ancestors knew of the power of tattoos.
This work is ancient. It is rooted in all of our beings.
It is as old as humaity itself. The oldest known tattoos? They are found on the oldest existing mummy- Ötzi, the icemann found in the italian-austrian glaciers. He lived 5300 years ago and 80% of his tattoos were placed on acupuncture points. Making them medicine for the physical and energetical body.
This is where our roots stretch to, where we reconnect to the inherent wisdom of the soul.
Across continents and centuries tattooing has carried profound meaning and power.
Throughout many different cultures tattoos were sacred markers of identity and served as rites of passage. They were symbols and marks of protection and spiritual connection. They were gatekeepers for the life after death, enabling many of their wearers to cross the sacred rivers seperating them from the eternal resting places of their ancestors.
In ancient Egypt, tattoos were linked to sacred rites and healing. Each mark carving into the very fabric of reality. Many women, mostly priestesses, carried intricate patterns and magical symbols to invoke fertility and divine protection. Every dot allowing them to create a dialogue between themselves and the universe.
The Iban people of Indonesia spoke the language of the soul through their tattoos. They knew by tattooing a symbol or creature in their body they could evoke and call in those spirits; asking them to assist and protect with their powerful energy. According to their ancient myths the ancestors brought the practice of tattoing from the spirit world itself.
In Europe a lot of our knowledge is lost due to the fading of our ancient cultures through Christianization. However we find many historical accounts of Celts and Norse people adorning their bodies. They were using symbols and images of animals to honor the spirit, protect the wearer and mark life's journeys.
Using the canvas of their bodies, they told stories of courage, devotion and the cycles of nature.
We have better acounts from the Scythian tribes that were living in an area east of Europe. Mummies of princesses and warriors, adorned with many images of animals and spirits. Said to be guides in the life after death to recognize kinship and allow the wearer to connect with the spiritual essence of their symbols.
Each mark told a story, held power and carried protection as living magic.
In Polynesia, tattooing was understood as a language written on skin. Deeply spiritual and personal. Every dot, every line, every pattern represented family, status and personal destiny. The tattooing itself was a life changing ritual. Bringing together body, spirit and community in a shared ceremony.
Across many cultures our ancestors recognized the potency of marking their bodies. Tattoos were a language of the soul, a living prayer, a ceremony of transformation, a bridge between the seen and the unseen, a declaration of identity and intention.
We honor these roots, reconnecting with this ancient wisdom in deep reverence.
