| | About The New Tattoo | Abbeville Press |
 | | The new tattoo advocates are informed, articulate, and no stranger than anyone else you're likely to meet--indeed, you've already met them, since they represent every aspect of society, from mechanics and waitresses to doctors and lawyers. |
 | | Tattooing even played a part during the Crusades to the Holy Land over the next two centuries, when religious warriors had themselves inscribed with a crucifix or other symbols of their faith to make certain they would get a Christian burial if they died abroad. |
 | | Tattooing became most popular with soldiers and sailors as a bonding ritual, although a few members of high society surrendered to its allure as well, including the prominent San Franciscan Amy Crocker, who took great pride in displaying her elaborately tattooed arms at parties all over the world. |
