The word 'Tattoo' originated during the 17th and 18th centuries in The Netherlands and was basically the 'closing-time cry' at the Inns. This then became a drum beat or bugle call to warn British Soldiers to return to their quarters for the night. The 'Tattoo' developed into a ceremonial performance towards the end of the 19th century and has continued through history.
