So I guess the tats could be any combination of those. I'll probably never know.

Family History Beginners Board / How rare were tattoos before 1930?

Turns out my ancestor (person in my profile pic actually) had a criminal past and records say he had tattoos on his forearms and hands.

Is this rare for 1929?

Staffordshire / Criminal record question about Staffordshire
