             The Greeks are a perfect example of a society that gave a great purpose to tattoos. The Greek spies used tattooing for communicating with each other; their tattoos identified them and told their rank as spies. Other societies, such as the Romans, used tattoos to mark their criminals and slaves. While others still such as the Ainu people of western Asia used tattoos to represent their social rank. The Ainu are also noted for introducing tattoos to Japan where they became a religious and ceremonial rite (Rowe12).   Tattoos were also used in many older cultures as ways to represent their patients and how full of a life they would or had lived.   In one society a flower with a spiral in the center would represent their patients and how full their life was.   The more peddles the flower had the more patients the person had and the longer the spiral the longer and richer his or her life was. The more peddles the flower had the more patients the person had and the longer the spiral the longer and richer his or her life was. There is also evidence that tattoos may have been used as far back as 5,000 years ago.   A glacial mummy named Otzi was found in October of 1991.   He had a small cross on the back of his knee; this is the oldest evidence of the practice of tattooing.
