Tattoos were considered a sign of "otherness" in ancient Greece, as it was foreigners and criminals who had tattoos in ancient Greek society.

For generations, tattoos have served as both a rite of passage and a record of service for members of the military.

The Egyptian air force has brought a rare visitor to the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), with the service showing one of its Antonov An-74T tactical transports in the static display.
