The Auschwitz group of camps were the only ones that used tattoos. Tattoos were not used at other camps, though obviously prisoners transferred from Auschwitz to Buchenwald or Bergen-Belsen still had their tattoos. (Note that prisoners who were sent to the gas chambers immediately on arrival at Auschwitz were not tattoed).

Could Nazis themselves get a tattoos?
All members of the SS had to have tattoos. Others did not need tattoos.AnswerOnly ethnic Germans and the SS police escaped the registration tattoos, in Nazi Germany. Tattoos were used to mark and tract prisoners who were sent to the labor camps. Jews, homosexuals, the mentally ill, Soviet prisoners of war, Poles, Communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, blacks and the Roma were all tattooed - while in forced labor concentration camps.The Nazis initiated the tattooing program at Auschwitz in mid-1941, but soon the number system was out dated - due to the execution of more inmates than actual live prisoners. Instead, the Nazis introduced a new system that was distinct to each division of the extermination camp - Josef Mengele, who performed inhumane scientific experiments on prisoners, tattooed his own distinct number series on those prisoners depending on where in his camp they were assigned.The purpose was not only to identify but to degrade - making these people a mere number in the system - so less than human. It is horrifying still today how inhumane a human can be.

Did the Nazis use tattoos for lampshades?
They didn't, but it is said that they used their skin to make other pieces of furniture, such as couches and rugs.____No. At the time of the early postwar trials of concentration camp guards some journalists said that a few of the guards had had lampshades made out of the skin of prisoners with erotic tattoos. The strange thing is that these allegations were made only about female guards - the implication being that they were demonically perverted. All this was entertaining stuff for some readers.It seems to be a popular urban legend.
