For most of the 20th century, tattoos remained relegated to military servicemen, the lower, working classes and their low culture.
Tattoos “fragmented” in the 1960’s, however, and were used as important identity symbols for bikers, prison convicts, punks and the gay/leather subcultures of the American west coast (DeMello 2000:70).
This fragmentation, the beginning of what was to become the “tattoo renaissance,” lead to the ultimate mainstreaming of tattoos as icons of popular culture in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

 Amazon.com: A History of the Jews in the Modern World: Books: Howard M. Sachar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In this monumental and complex narrative, successor to his distinguished 1958 The Course of Modern Jewish History (substantially revised in 1990), Sachar, generally acknowledged as the preeminent scholar of modern Jewish history, proves himself to be not only a superb historian, but a compelling storyteller.
The history of Jews in modern times -- from the 18th century to the present -- is an epic saga, and Sachar attempts to hit all the high points, dealing with the six continents on which Jews have lived.
He concludes that in the 19th century, Hasidism "devolve[d] into an unregenerate defender of pietistic obscurantism." Indeed, many forms of traditional Jewish observance are described here as parochial or fundamentalist.

Relativity emphasizes the parts power and politics play in establishing the dominance of one subculture over others and thereby establishing the agenda of the dominant or official culture, that unique subculture against which all other subcultures are evaluated and subordinated.
Placed in their historic context, the great graffiti wars of the late 20th century illustrate the relativity of judgments of deviance and diversity, and how the dynamic interaction between the participants of different subcultures, each with their own agenda and resources, produce the perceived reality of these conflicts.
