Skin & Bones – Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor

A new exhibit recently opened at Philadelphia’s Independence Seaport Museum:

Skin & Bones traces the origins, functions, and significance of tattoos in American sailors’ lives from the late 18th century onward and how merchant and naval seamen have kept this tradition unbroken and alive. It also connects current trends with historic tradition to enlighten tattooed and un-tattooed visitors alike about this often still misunderstood art form.”

Although by no means were sailors the first to tattoo themselves; they are, however, regarded as pioneers in tattoo culture, and in large part it is they who helped make it part of America’s cultural fiber.

The exhibit runs until January 3rd, 2010.
