The Oldest Tattooing Family in the World

Wasim Razzouk, a 27th-generation tattoo artist, shares the rich history of his family's tattooing tradition, which dates back 500 years. The Razzouk family, originally from Egypt, settled in the Holy Land to continue the tradition of tattooing Christian pilgrims. The cross tattoo on the wrist symbolizes a pilgrim's journey and rebirth as a Christian. The family uses ancient wooden stamps to create intricate designs, connecting modern pilgrims to a long-standing heritage. These tattoos hold deep spiritual meaning, akin to a baptism, marking significant life events.
