Answer by  nuttree (1596)

The French word for "tattoo" is "tatouage. " It's not surprisinig that this is very similar to the corresponding English word, since both languages borrowed the word from another source -- most likely from Samoa or the Marquesas or elsewhere in Polynesia, where tattoing has a long tradition.

If you're referring to the musical term involving percussion instruments, the term is "battre le tambour. " If you're referring to the body art, the word is "tatouer" for the verb and "tatouage" for the noun.
