In ancient Europe, tattooing was common to almost all tribes and peoples. With the advent of Christianity, this art began to be ruthlessly exterminated, and returned only in the 18th century thanks to James Cook. But, until our time, tattooing had to go through a difficult path to overcome prejudice and become a full-fledged form of art. Initially, the Europeans tattoo became popular among actors and circus performers, who were not respected by elite sections of society. Until recently, being an actor was considered an unworthy occupation. For example, the famous writer and actor Moliere had to abandon the wealth and position in society to devote his life to the theater. But already in the 20th century, with the development of the film industry, the attitude towards show business figures is radically changing. Now tattoos on their bodies cease to be considered a public brand, but rather become a sign of freedom and a bright individuality. This mainly concerned women's tattoos, since the male tattoo was popular not only among circus figures, but also among representatives of other professions. For a long time, female tattoos were associated with prostitution, but gradually this stereotype also lost its relevance. Until recently, having decided on a tattoo, women chose very small drawings that could easily be hidden under clothes. Today, a tattoo on the body of a woman is an ordinary phenomenon and no one is surprised.
