Abstract
This paper examines the societal factors that made it possible for tattooed ladies to achieve success, self-sufficiency, and independence at a time when most women were expected only to be homemakers and mothers. To truly understand the social context that gave rise to the age of the tattooed lady, it is first necessary to shed light on the history of tattoos in the West.
