A sports fan would definitely know that badminton is one of the most popular games in many parts of the world. It is a lawn game that is played with lightweight rackets and a shuttlecock (which by the way, is used for tattoo designs!) The shuttlecock is also known as ‘bird or birdie’ and hence that’s why a lot of birds with a badminton tattoo design. Interestingly what was before made out of goose feathers is now made out of synthetic.

Just as a matter of fact, the sport is named after a country of the estate of dukes of Beaufort in Gloucestershire, England where the men played it in the 1870s. However, the roots of the game can be traced back to Greece, China, and India where it was played. The game is also closely related to battledore which was played by children. Badminton, however, is directly derived from “Poona” which was played by the Britishers in India in the 1860s.
