In the year 1566, tattoo shows an Eskimo women with her baby child who were catched in Newfoundland by Sir Martin Frobisher and taken to Europe to be exhibited at markets. About the scar like tattoo in the Eskimo women's face it says: "The signs she is wearing in her face are all blue. They were made by her husband so he can recognize her otherwise they would run around disordered."

6. Who where the best? The French were the masters of tattooing right after the British. But no French tattoo artist had his own studio yet.
