Art with a Point: A Brief History of Tattoos

Home | Events & Programs | Tours Lectures & Workshops | History of Hip | Art with a Point: A Brief History of Tattoos
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - 7:30pm - 9:00pm

Never just the domain of sailors and outlaws, tattoos have a rich and storied history. From Pacific Islanders to American hipsters, body art has long been a popular form of self expression with many layers of meaning. Dr. John Troyer gives an overview of the long history of body art with help from tattoo artist Awen Briem. Due to the temporary closing of the Turf Club, this event will be held at the Minnesota History Center.
