A long time ago a tattoo was an indication that the person had spent time in prison. It was definitely like this in the soviet union, so many years ago having a tattoo was shameful in the fact that it was a sign you had done a " Stretch " inside. Nowadays its much more considered a fashion statement.
I think thats where the mark of shame tattoo came from.
