OTL, Tatoos were either an infamous mark (marking slaves, by exemple) and/or despised by ruling elites.

Eventually it went under a religious ban (while it wouldn't be the first time a religious ban would have been totally ignored) and it didn't reappeared before the XVIIIth century.

What would have been needed for tatooing still a common feature in western civilisation (either greco-roman or germano-roman).?

Which changes would have led to not identifying with slavery or paganism?
