London Museum Opens Exhibit on Tattoo History

The British Museum in London has launched a groundbreaking exhibit tracing 5,000 years of tattooing, from ancient Egyptian markings to modern-day body art. The collection includes rare tools, preserved skin samples, and multimedia displays showing how tattoos evolved across cultures.

Curators say the exhibit aims to challenge stereotypes by highlighting tattoos as both an art form and a cultural tradition. Early visitors praised it as “eye-opening” and “a celebration of human creativity on the skin.”
