HISTORIC ANSWER? here: you can read about, you can deduce about, but the real proof lies here. The man found dead on alps had tattoos.
He was named OTZI the ice man he died approximately 5200 years ago. At death he was between 40 and 50 years old and suffered from a number of medical conditions. He turned into a mummy accidentally almost immediately by the freezing weather conditions that turned him into the Ice Man. He had several tattoos, so this is oldest tattoo found on a real skin.

There is direct evidence of tattoos of at least 5,000 years and there are many experts who put tattoos at over 12,000 years BCE. No one will ever know which culture, let alone which individual, was first.
