In Scotland, a tattoo is a term used to describe a certain type of social gathering, usually a party or celebration. It traditionally involved playing music, singing and dancing, as well as drinking and eating. Tattoos were often held in public houses and were organized by individuals or by a local community. The gatherings usually last several days and were often used to celebrate important events or to mark a special occasion. The term ‘tattoo’ has been in use for centuries in Scotland, and it is derived from the Dutch word ‘tatoeĆ«ren’ which means ‘to mark’.
