Lascaux Cave: the original tattoo studio - Teabreak 20

There are so many things that don't survive the thousands of years between the past and present, and so many crafts and skills that are very difficult to identify from a material point of view. Luckily, we have expert artists who can help us out! This month, Matilda is joined by professional tattoo artist Daniel Riday, who will be chatting all about the tools and techniques used in ancient tattooing. What's the difference between using a blade versus a needle to create a tattoo? What's the oldest tattooing tool ever found? Are we really sure we know how Ötzi the Iceman got his tattoos? And why does Daniel want to mummify himself? Tune in to find out in the first of this exciting two-part special on the fascinating subject of ancient tattoos.
