Tattoos in museum

Since may 6, the Quai Branly museum presents a retrospective aubout tattoos and their history. Named « Tatoueurs, Tatouées », it is the first exhibition showing the tatto as an artistic movement. The aim is to show the evolution of tattooing over time from the first civilisation that uses it to express their belonging to a religion or mystic movement, to our civilisation where, after being a sign of social or cultural difference, it is now consider as a banal thing.
Composed of more than 300 work of art, you can find different kind of works: sketches on paper or kakémone, photo series, books criminologists, tattoued members of silicone body and… true human skins!
It also represented all continents thanks to their history ( japanese yakuza, french prisonners,etc…)
It ends the october 18 so you have all the summer to jump on a train and go to the Quai Branly museum! Don’t miss it!

  1. Thank you for information, personally I like much tattoos and I think that I will go there very quickly!

  2. I like very much tattoos and I hope to make it one day. It really became an art today.

  3. I like the concept to define tattooing as art because I think it deserves it but I’m quite scared by the idea of seeing an human skin in a museum… By the way, nice video ! Thanks for sharing~
