  2. Origin of a Tattoo Military Tattoos have evolved from a European tradition dating back to the 17th century. When the fifes and drums of the local regiment signaled a return to quarters, Low Country innkeepers would cry “Doe den tap toe!” “Turn off the taps!” The word “tattoo” evolved over time, and today refers to a ceremonial performance of military music by massed bands. Each Tattoo is different and influenced by the culture of the country in which it is presented.
