Western society has long associated tattoos with naval traditions and as a novelty in circuses. Often crudely done (sometimes practiced by schoolboys in an amateurish way), inking began to garner gentrification across Europe in the latter half of the 19 th century. With upmarket and expensive techniques becoming fashionable, it is estimated that one in five members of the upper classes had a tattoo during this era. The 20 th century saw the rise of the electric tattoo machine to the masses which meant that more people could get better skin art and by the 1960s the tattoo was seeing a renaissance.
