During the early seventeenth century, there was actually a generally accepted codification of a tattoo mark, which was used to identify criminals and outcasts who resided in Japan. These outcasts were distinguished by the tattoo on their arms. A cross might actually be tattooed on their inner forearm, or a straight line found on the outside of their forearm or on the upper arm.

Tattooing was also introduced in many German concentration camps during the autumn of 1941. As hundreds and thousands of Soviet prisoners arrived in the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, and thousands rapidly died there due to starvation and torture, the SS authorities started tattooing the prisoners to identify them.

When the metal stamp method became impractical, the tattoo machine and needle was introduced. This pierced the outlines of the serial digit numbers onto the person’s skin. The site of the tattoo was eventually changed to the outer side of the left forearm. But prisoners who came from several transports in 1943 had their own numbers tattooed on the inner side of their upper left forearms.
