Etymology

The term 'tatted' comes from the word 'tattoo,' which has origins tracing back to the Tahitian word 'tatau,' meaning 'to mark something.' The practice of tattooing has ancient roots, appearing in various cultures around the globe as a form of body art, ritual significance, or social status. Over time, the terminology evolved, and in the English language, the slang term 'tat' emerged in the 19th century, giving rise to derivatives like 'tatted.' This informal language reflects a growing acceptance and popularity of tattoos in modern society, particularly within youth subcultures, where body art is often embraced as a means of self-expression or rebellion.
