His mother, Lady Randolph Churchill also had a tattoo of a snake on her right wrist - which may have been a factor in encouraging Winston Churchill to get a tattoo himself.Tattoos first became fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and were something of an aristocratic novelty.Both men and women were tattooed and, at the time, the process was very expensive and designs often came with a hefty price tag.
