Tattoos have a long and colorful history across the world, and are an important part of many cultures. While 1 in 3 Americans have at least 1 tattoo today, western culture still sees the art form as counter culture, risque and rebellious. You might be shocked if you learned that your grandma was inked. And you certainly wouldn’t expect that prim and proper royals of the Victorian era were concealing covert tattoos under their stiff dress uniforms and frilly gowns. But in fact, a handful of trend setting Princes in the late 19th century started an aristocratic craze for secret ink. Let’s take a journey through the history of tattoo, learn how it flourished on other continents, but passed Europe by, and was then enthusiastically reintroduced. Along the way, we’ll meet several royals from history who were secretly tatted up!
King Edward VII of the UK
King George V of the UK
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia
Alfonso XIII of Spain
Frederik IX of Denmark
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany
King Oscar II of Sweden
King Ferdinand I of Romania
King George II of Greece
Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria
King Alexander of Yugoslavia
Empress Elisabeth of Austria
Princess Marie of Orléans
