Description
Painted People: Humanity in 21 Tattoos
For centuries, tattoos have been a part of human culture, with evidence of the practice dating back over 5,000 years. Yet, much of this history remains 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 Siberian princesses to Victorian socialites, and from cultural and religious traditions to self-expression and espionage, Matt Lodder explores the diverse reasons behind the art of tattooing. With 21 case studies, each one shedding light on a unique aspect of this ancient practice, Painted People offers a captivating look at humanity as both artist and canvas.
