       @lowqualityfacts it took 1000s of tiny snails to make purple dye, making anything Tyrian purple cost a king's ransom

       @lowqualityfacts Not true, tho. The association of royalty with purple goes way back to "Tyrian Purple" dye, derived from the murex clam (long since fished to near extinction). A coloured robe was  quite The Thing, in a world of raw cloth.Also, I don't think there were purple tattoos, until modern times? Blue (eg woad, but also see Polynesia) was pretty universal...

       @lowqualityfacts Nonsense. They had themselves beaten until covered with purple bruises by a court official named the Royal Whacker.

       @lowqualityfacts The work was conducted by members of the armed forces in lavish ceremonies and is the origin of today’s military tattoos.

       @lowqualityfacts There was the best forgotten Elizabethan era where barbed razor armbands were the in thing. History books have covered that part up.

       @lowqualityfacts I thought it was because of the blue blood due to inbreeding

       @lowqualityfacts The tattoos were colorless, but then they'd eat snails, which would dye them purple.
