Did you know that in 1897, The New York World reported that 75% of society women in American had tattoos?

While this statistic is highly unlikely, we do know that many society women did indeed have permanent ink! California heiress and celebrated “Bohemian princess” Aimee Crocker was a known fan of tattoos (see the serpents on her arms?). Jennie Jerome, the Lady Randolph Churchill (Winston Churchill’s mother, seen in image 2) was also reported to have had tattoos, though like many ladies of the era, she likely kept them hidden underneath her gowns.

Learn more about these incredible tattooed women in “Tattooed and Tenacious: Inked Women in California’s History” Visit the exhibit in person at Cameron-Stanford House, or explore the companion virtual exhibit on our website! (link in bio).
