We are accustomed to considering the Victorian era as a time of stiff collars, restrictive corsets, and unshakeable social etiquette. However, beneath this facade of conservatism lay a bold and quite “prickly” subcultural layer that few know about today. On Friday, May 8, 2026, the 1890 House museum will lift the veil of mystery over this forgotten passion by organizing a thematic lecture titled “Victorian Tattoo Mania and the New Electric Method.” This event promises to be a true revelation for anyone interested in the evolution of body art.
