The tattooing was widespread and is still ongoing custom around the world, across many cultures, so traditional Tattooing of Myanmar should be stated in a particular way. Although the tattooing was emerged out of the People of different cultures of the world, we cannot say definitely the beginning of it yet.

Earliest shreds of evidence of tattoo custom, some dead bodies which were tattooed, were found beneath of Siberian ice for the first time. At Egypt, it is recorded that the tattoo custom was practiced since 15BC.

In the modern world, it is well noted that King Edward VII allowed to ink on his body since he was Prince of Wale. Japanese love to make tattooing which are artistic forms and drawings. Even the Japanese Government had banned it by law, in the 19th century but the tree of tattooing custom which is adorable by their citizens could not be uprooted from their soil.
