Discover tattooing in Western cultures from the 1500s to the recent past.
From shipwrecked sailors to fur traders to religious pilgrims, Anna Friedma
n Herlihy will reveal that Western tattooing has a longer and more complex
history than is commonly believed. Amelia Klem Osterud (author of The Tatto
oed Lady: A History and an article on tattooed lady Artoria Gibbons in a 20
06 issue of Wisconsin Magazine of History) will discuss tattooed ladies, a
group of amazingly daring women, who went outside the social norms of the l
ate 1800 and early 1900s to cover their bodies in tattoos and perform for a
public audience. Bodypainter and photographer Shay Armstrong will demonstr
ate her artwork and discuss her current research in body art and cultural c
eremonies.
