In the middle of 1900, the development of tattooing was not very positive and tended to go down. Mostly, tattoos are considered an unhealthy symbol, a symbol of gangs of robbery or murder. This is the landmark that marks the slump of tattoos.
In 1936, Life Magazine reported that only about 6% of people got tattooed, but most of them focused on performing artists at the circus or in the bizarre festivals held. In each show like this, they make about $ 200 (equivalent to $ 2,000 today).
After World War II, tattoos really fell into a state of crisis due to an outbreak of infectious hepatitis. Although the shops are equipped with disinfection tools and equipment, but due to the speed of spread and press influence. Tattooing is considered to be the contagious and contagious cause of the epidemic. Shops in Time Square and Coney Island were mostly closed. Tattoos have become illegal businesses.
