Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed β The Exhibition
From rebels to Royals, how tattooing made its mark on Britain
This preview of the postponed exhibition from The Historic Dockyard, Chatham exposes how tattooing made its mark in Britain from the sixteenth century to the present day via the surprising journeys of pilgrims, royalty and sailors.
It offers a ground-breaking insight into the history of British tattooing. Featuring over 400 original artworks, photographs and historic artefacts, it tells a story that challenges the most deeply-held myths and pre-conceptions about tattooing.
From the place Captain Cook and Charles Darwinβs voyages have in British tattoo history to modern influences, it features rare exhibits of key British tattoo art rescued by private collectors and hyper-realistic silicone artwork, commissioned to assist the tattoo historians of the future.
