Welcome to the Archive. Ask me anything about tattoo culture — a tradition, a tool, a motif, the ethics of wearing another culture's marks, or the $TATTOO project itself.
Frequently asked, answered in writing
- What is $TATTOO?
- $TATTOO is a community meme token on the Robinhood chain built around a global culture project documenting tribal tattoo traditions. Contract: 0x3200a00d627b74866ea4811a07497250c1093ba3.
- Where can I acquire $TATTOO?
- Through Bankr.bot, using the contract address above. Full step-by-step instructions are on the How to Buy page. Always verify the contract address character by character.
- Is $TATTOO an investment?
- No. $TATTOO is a meme and culture token with no intrinsic value, no yield, and no promise of profit. Treat any purchase as discretionary spending you can afford to lose entirely.
- Which tattoo tradition is the oldest we can prove?
- The oldest directly preserved tattooed human is Ötzi the Iceman, dated to roughly 3350–3100 BCE, whose body carries 61 marks clustered around joints — often read as therapeutic.
- Is it appropriate to wear another culture's tribal tattoo?
- Many communities distinguish between closed designs (like Māori moko kauae or a Samoan pe'a) that carry lineage and rank, and open styles inspired by a tradition. The reliable route is to ask practitioners from that community directly and follow their guidance.
