French explorers and missionaries in Eastern Canada, did leave us some information about some of the tribal tattooing in North America.

Tribal Tattooing
Not all Native American or Indian tribes had specific tattooing. Also many groups that are not Indian or Native American tribes have tattooing in their group.
Tattoos can be put on just about any body part.
