A woman got 11 tattoos in a week to document a century of tattoo trends

The latest video in the 100 Years of Beauty series is pretty intense.

Tattoos, once the domain of sailors and bikers, are now mainstream - but not everyone knows how they evolved.

Cut Media put out an ad for a brave person to get inked in a style from every decade for the past 100 years in the space of just one week and Casey Lubin from Ohio volunteered - before taking part in the project she only had two small tattoos.

Casey said:

Acclaimed artist Clae Welch drew and tattooed all 11 of the designs onto Lubin's skin, each one inspired by the trends and aesthetics of a different decade.

By the 1950s, tattoo artist Sailor Jerry had introduced the concept of shading:

And things got pretty psychedelic by the 1990s:

By the end of the week, Lubin's skin was a historical work of art:
