Sorry, he is entirely correct.

Traditionally, Tattoo was beaten through a town or city to advise soldiers it was time to return to barracks. Innkeepers were expected to stop serving them.

Over the years, Tattoo developed into a military spectacle, such as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo or the Aldershot Military Tattoo, with bands and sometimes searchlights to add atmosphere.

I was born in scotland. In highland times, any of the kings guards or groups were referred to as a tattoo. in highland times tattoos were intricate designs made by making numerous small pokes into ones skin using colorful needles. hense a group.
