Even though getting that feather infinity tattoo feels like a big “this is who I am now, Mom!” moment in the lives of many a rebellious Millennial, tattoos have been en vogue<\/em> for awhile now — a fact that Chicago’s\u00a0famed\u00a0Field Museum wants to point out in its new exhibit, “Tattoo.” A practice that has been around for more than 5,000 years, the art of inking one’s skin has had different\u00a0meanings across evolving\u00a0cultures, eras, and perspectives.<\/p>\n

Opening on October 21st, the exhibit is a touring show\u00a0from France that will have five distinct sections exploring the history of tools used for\u00a0tattooing, the meaning\u00a0behind the practice, global perspectives of inking one’s skin, a look at our modern flat world of idea sharing… And a pop-up tattoo parlor where museum patrons can pen their name into inked history.<\/p>\n
