Adorning the body with tattoos has been a way to express individuality, status, and social identity for over 4,000 years. In modern times, the art and traditions of indigenous peoples have become a leading source for tattoo designs. This kit contains a 72-page illustrated book of the history of tribal body decoration, with dozens of tattoos from around the world; tattoo transfer sheets featuring both basic and advanced designs, with detailed instructions; four vivid, long-lasting but washable body paints, and a special applicator.
