 CELEBRITY TATTOOS From the early 1990's on, there has been a tremendous increase in
the popularity of tattooing among the general public in North
America and Europe, a trend that has since spread around the world.
Anyone who has taken even the most cursory glance at the mainstream
media during the past decade could quite easily come away with the
impression that the current popular interest in tattoos and other
forms of body modification, such as body piercing, has arisen out of
a cultural void and that there is scant evidence to suggest where
the roots of the resurgence might lie. In point of fact, nothing
could be further from the truth.
Tattoos have had a rich and colourful history in western popular
culture for the better part of two centuries and nowhere is this
better illustrated than by the rather extraordinary number of
historical figures and modern day celebrities who, have sported or
currently have body art.

TATTOOS & EARLY EUROPEAN ROYALTY
As with most cultural and artistic styles and trends, tattoos and
tattooing have weathered various cycles of popularity, waxing and
waning over the years, but never disappearing and never far from the
public's imagination. Tattoos have long been associated with sailors
and seamen and military personnel, but did you know that
European
Royalty were the first well-known members of society, the first
celebrities so to speak, to spur an interest in tattoos and body
art?
That's right. In the late nineteenth century many of the crowned
heads of Europe wore their tattoos with pride. And they influenced
many members of their respective aristocracies to get "exotic" body
art. It was a topic that caused quite a stir in the
popular press of
the day.
TATTOOS / BODY ART & CELEBRITIES
Today, tattoos and tattooing are taking on an increasingly
larger, ever more visible role in today's mainstream pop culture.
Now you see all kinds of tattooed celebrities, both men and women;
tattooed rock stars,
movie
stars with tattoos, sports stars sporting ink, even elite
super
models proudly displaying their body
art.
