Īncient tattooing traditions have also been documented among Papuans and Melanesians, with their use of distinctive obsidian skin piercers. The handle and mallet were generally made of wood while the points, either single, grouped or arranged to form a comb were made of Citrus thorns, fish bone, bone, teeth and turtle and oyster shells. For the most part Austronesians used characteristic perpendicularly hafted tattooing points that were tapped on the handle with a length of wood (called the "mallet") to drive the tattooing points into the skin.

Tattooing traditions, including facial tattooing, can be found among all Austronesian subgroups, including Taiwanese Aborigines, Islander Southeast Asians, Micronesians, Polynesians, and the Malagasy people.

In 2018, the oldest figurative tattoos in the world were discovered on two mummies from Egypt which are dated between 33 BCE. This body, with 61 tattoos, was found embedded in glacial ice in the Alps, and was dated to 3250 BCE. In 2015, scientific re-assessment of the age of the two oldest known tattooed mummies identified Ötzi as the oldest example then known. Preserved tattoos on ancient mummified human remains reveal that tattooing has been practiced throughout the world for millennia.
