Hidden tattoos revealed pride, patriotism
Atlas Obscura: “The Civil War helped
tattooing begin a transition from the military to wider society, and ushered in
the style of classic tattooing unique to America. Tattooing had long been
widespread among sailors, but during the war men who would never have considered
getting a tattoo before wanted a way to show their allegiance to their cause
and to identify themselves in the event of death." • Article
