Description

Painted People: 5,000 Years of Tattooed History Revealed

For centuries, tattoos have been a part of human culture, with evidence of the practice dating back over 5,000 years. Until now, the history of tattooing has remained largely untold. This book brings together a wealth of new and unreported material to reveal the stories behind some of the world's most fascinating tattoos.

From the intricate designs of Siberian princesses to the bold markings of Victorian socialites, Dr Matt Lodder explores the diverse reasons behind the art of tattooing. He delves into the cultural, social, and historical contexts that have shaped this ancient practice, and sheds light on the people who have been marked by it.
