Sarajevan Catholic, 1912. By Auguste Léon. Tattooing of young girls and boys in Bosnia and Herzegovina is colloquially called sicanje or bocanje, and it was a widespread custom mostly among Catholic Croats in the central regions. [4] The custom is thought to predate the Slavic migration to the Balkans and even Christianity.
Based on the writings of ancient authors such as Herodotus (5th century BC), Cicero and Strabo (1st century BC), whose statements are also confirmed by archaeological findings, ethnographic studies have concluded that the practice of tattooing among the peoples of the Balkan peninsula was known since ancient times.
