Tattoo designs by convict's place of birth


These pie charts indicate the distribution of tattoo designs according to the convicts' place of birth in records dated between 1800 and 1840. Using the search page, and clicking on the 'Visualise' button at the top of the results, it is possible to create similar pie charts for other specific time periods, but note that the maximum amount of results that can be visualised at any one time is 5,000. Note that the form in which information about place of birth was provided was not standardised, so while the most common type of place indicated is a city, in other records places of birth were stated simply as a county (Herefordshire) or even country (Ireland).
