More painted rocks. Made some dotting tools out of glass, because I could. Need to refine the shapes a little; if the end is too round, it doesn't make very controllable dots. I've also been playing with graduated color a bit... I'm hampered by my reluctance to waste any paint, so I'm only mixing just barely enough to make a single row of dots at a time, which is quite fiddly. On the other hand, it means that I can do a heck of a lot of rocks with just a tiny travel kit, and since I'm just doing dots, I can wipe my tools with a rag instead of fussing with a jar of paint water. The rag in the picture contains all of the paint left over after about 25 painted rocks, including what I wiped off of my palette after mixing gradient colors.

Prehistoric Tattoos Were Made with Volcanic Glass Tools

Volcanic glass tools that are at least 3,000 years old were used for tattooing in the South Pacific in ancient times, a new study finds.

The skin-piercing tools could yield insight into ancient tattooing practices in the absence of tattooed human remains, the researchers said.

Research conducted over the past 25 years found 5,000-year-old tattoos on a mummy in the Alps. However, such exceptionally preserved human remains are rare, which makes it difficult to use them to learn more about the ancient history of tattooing.

One potential way to learn more about prehistoric tattooing is to unearth the tools used to make the markings. However, until now, archaeologists had discovered few ancient tattooing implements, likely because perishable materials were often used to make them, said study co-author Robin Torrence, an archaeologist at the Australian Museum in Sydney.
