EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1929 showcases a daring new trend in feminine beauty: tattooing the armpits with intricate designs of small flowers and delicate butterflies. The photograph, taken in a fashionable West End salon in London, captures the moment as a brave lady endures the process with a determined expression on her face. The tattoo artist, focused intently on his work, applies the Japanese-inspired design to her armpit, while a mirror reflects the scene, allowing her to see the progress. The toiletries and other paraphernalia on the table add to the intimate and personal atmosphere of the session. The tattooing of armpits was considered a bold and unconventional choice for body art during the 1920s and 1930s, but this craze for small, intricate tattoos spoke to the growing desire for self-expression and individuality. The elegant and graceful designs of flowers and butterflies were particularly popular, adding a touch of whimsy and femininity to this edgy new trend.
