About middle ages Tattoos

During the Middle Ages, tattoos held significant symbolic meaning, often representing a person's social status, occupation, or spiritual affiliation. Tattoos of crosses, saints, and other Christian symbols signified devotion and faith, while images of animals, like dragons and lions, conveyed strength and bravery. These permanent marks also served as a form of identification, distinguishing individuals as members of a particular guild, clan, or social class.
