Tattooing received English crown approval in 1862, but I would assume that there very well could be criminal tattoo artists...

Considering that the only professional tatoo artist at the time was thousands of miles away, and i know how tattooing is doen, but multiple words legible and done in a way to not cause disease or the like that i am skeptical of, many doctors in england in the 1800's didnt wash there hands when they operated and stuff for (insert Diety name here)'s sake.

Well, we no the whole doctor bit is inconsequential because tattoos were done on the 1800s. And just because a person wasn't sanctioned by the government to do tattoos doesn't mean they weren't good at it.

But I don't care anymore. It's up to a co-OP or Gal.

So the fact that most tattoo artists probably didnt wash their equipment wouldnt matter when getting a tattoo?
But yes i aggree about the Co-OP and OP opinions.

So, Salinado has a character with a tattoo. The tattoo (with an arrow pointing to the character's "baton") had WORDS (*le gasp*) on it. In the 1800s and in the UK, tattoos are controversial. Tattoos with words on them possibly aren't a tihng.

I'm still accepting him anyways, because I have that authority, and his application seems perfectly acceptable.

What? No. Max is the only male prostitute that works there. How do you think the madame would reward the guys? With female prostitutes of course!

Yes, but how do you think the Crown and the law would reward them for fighting a constable?

With hangings.

Which do you think is more powerful, the fear of death or the average sex drive?

They in fact where a thing. Though mostly done unprofessionally, they were still a thing in 19th Century Great Britain. Though, until the 1870s they were mainly seen with sailors, the lower class and criminals. During the 1870s though they became popular with the middle class and nobility. So, tats are completely possible.
