Tattoos and piercings have been around for thousands of years.
>Utzi (the 5000 year old man found frozen in the alps) has tattoos all over his body, and some are super intricate art for the time period.
>Earrings are the earliest form of piercings, found at least since the Egyptian Old Kingdom c. 2500 BC)
>Dying hair can also be traced to Egypt c. 1500 BC, where they sometimes used henna (the same stuff henna “tattoos” are made of) to cover up graying hair with reddish-brown color.

Clockwork Orange in 1971 is when most alternative fashion became popular and the actual colorings were available earlier.
Tattoos began as an industry in the nineties and grew based on the spread of tattoo chains and equipment. Nevada was a major place that helped it grow because of the weak licensing requirements. Healthcare and dental equipment were repurposed to make tattoo equipment.

70s with the punk subculture. Not when it originated, just started becoming a widespread thing to do. Became more casual outside of youth subcultures around the 2000s.

Punk died the most pitiful and unflattering death out of just about any scene I can think of
