In July 1769, in Tahiti, the crew of James Cook's \u003ci\u003eEndeavour\u003c\/i\u003e recorded in the journal the local term \u003ci\u003etatau\u003c\/i\u003e, which refers to the act of marking the skin — the word is thought to be onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of the mallet striking the pigment comb. Joseph Banks and Cook brought it back to England, where it became \u003ci\u003etattoo\u003c\/i\u003e, before passing into French. Before that, European languages had no word of their own for it: people spoke of “prickings” or “marks.” The design you wear therefore belongs to the tradition that gave the practice its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eFurther reading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/symboles-vikings-signification-guide-complet\" title=\"The 17 Viking Symbols and Their Deeper Meaning\"\u003eour guide to telling Norse motifs apart from other traditions\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover other pieces you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-homme-motif-tribal-polynesien-epaule-blanc\" title=\"Men's Polynesian Tribal Shoulder T-Shirt, White\"\u003eMen's Polynesian Tribal Shoulder T-Shirt, White\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-homme-motif-tribal-polynesien-epaule-vert\" title=\"Men's Polynesian Tribal Shoulder T-Shirt, Green\"\u003eMen's Polynesian Tribal Shoulder T-Shirt, Green\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-homme-motif-tribal-polynesien-noir-or\" title=\"Men's Polynesian Tribal T-Shirt, Black and Gold\"\u003eMen's Polynesian Tribal T-Shirt, Black and Gold\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"4 years (100 cm)","offer_id":57873953653118,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-01","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 years (110 cm)","offer_id":57873953685886,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-02","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 years (120 cm)","offer_id":57873953587582,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-03","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 years (130 cm)","offer_id":57873953620350,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-04","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 years (140 cm)","offer_id":57873953292670,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-05","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 years old (150 cm)","offer_id":57873953325438,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-06","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 years old (160 cm)","offer_id":57873953259902,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-07","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXS","offer_id":57873953554814,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-08","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS","offer_id":57873953489278,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-09","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":57873953522046,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-10","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57873953423742,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-11","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57873953456510,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-12","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57873953358206,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-13","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57873953390974,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-14","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57873953784190,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-15","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57873953816958,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-16","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57873953718654,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-17","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6XL","offer_id":57873953751422,"sku":"LCV-TS-102-18","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/tee-shirt-homme-motif-tribal-polynesien-epaule-rouge-porte.jpg?v=1787243974","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/tee-shirt-homme-motif-tribal-polynesien-epaule-rouge","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
