    Default Tattoos what might they havel looked like

    I am researching THOMAS BEAN OF HULL DOB 1887 , His CR10 record of about 1920 says he has a tattoo of a British Flag on his right arm and a "LADY" on his left , Could anyone suggest what the LADY might have looked like? Eg full length or head and shoulders , naked or clothed . I assume it was a stock image from a tattoo pattern book and I have no idea whether it was done in Hull or on his travels most of which seem to have been to Scandinavia or Holland , Belgium or France

    We can never be certain but a knowledgeable guess would be welcome

    Hi Clive, ship details below from Ancestry World Wide:
    Re tattoo's if you google, "tattoo's circa 1900-1930" you'll find some bobby dazzlers will give you a flavour of what was on offer.

    "Taschen," This special 25th anniversary edition of Tattoos explores the history of the art worldwide via designs and photos—from 19th century engravings to to classic biker designs. Retails at £8.99

    Thanks to all who have replied . The tattoo information sources are very helpful and so are the ship details . As a newcomer to this area of research I have struggled with crew lists etc . I have found some T BEAN entries on crew lists but have no means of access to ships logs to tell me about voyages etc . The Holbein detail is very interesting most of the other ships seem to have travelled HULL to Scandinavia or the coast of northern Europe or the Baltic . For what its worth the other ships I have linked with T Bean are ORISTANO ,CITO , FULLERTON , KATHLEEN LILLY (RENAMED LILY) , SELBY AND VOLTURNO ( of which there seemed to have been two with this name and there is no trace of T BEAN on the crew list of the one that caught fire in the Atlantic). But I have little experience in this area of research so any comments would be very welcome

    Clive

    Possibly more of interest than of help.
