Best Answer

Egyptian women applied tattoos from Predynastic times. Dots in the shape of triangles and parallelograms were found on the bodies and limbs of two female mummies from Deir el-Bahari. A singing-girl mummy had a tattoo of the god Bes on her thigh, as did female dancers and musicians in the New Kingdom.

As late as the Graeco-Roman period female mummies have been identified with tattoos on the chin and sides of the nose.

In general, tattoos appear to have been most popular among singers, dancers, musicians and prostitutes.
