Top hat tattoo means gentleman and politeness. Top hat is often seen in comics, animation and movies, but rarely seen in daily life. The top hat was originally worn by upper class gentlemen as a daily dress. Later, they gradually began to wear formal tuxedos and morning gowns, and became special hats for formal wear.

Nowadays, few people wear top hats anymore, but the top hat still gives the impression of a gentleman's hat. In addition, the top hat is often used as a magic prop. The magic of taking out pigeons, cards, handkerchiefs and other items from the top hat is also a program often depicted in illustrations.
