Documenting the History of Tattoo one Mark at a Time
Tattoo Anthropologist / Author / Curator

Lars Krutak
Fellow anthropologist Ahmet Yavuklu (@yavukluahmet Fellow anthropologist Ahmet Yavuklu (@yavukluahmet_ ), photographer Amar Kiliç, and Turkish Team Dag (tattoo) have produced a stunning new book documenting the tattoos of Arab and Kurdish elders living in/near Viranşehir, Turkey. With support from the local government, the 128pp. book records numerous traditional tattoo patterns and their meanings in Turkish and English. ☮️ I encourage readers of my post to make a donation to this ongoing project (and secure a PDF of the book! I did...!). Donations go to supporting the women/elders featured in the project and monies thus far have purchased a wheelchair, medical supplies, and other important items. ☮️ Please DM Ahmet @yavukluahmet_ for more details and be sure to visit his IG page for more info/videos etc. regarding the important tattoo cultural heritage of this region. ☮️ Teşekkürler!

Catching up w/ college buddies in Baltimore this w Catching up w/ college buddies in Baltimore this weekend which brings me back to 2002 when I penned one of my first of many articles for Skin & Ink Magazine @skinandinkmag on the @baltimoretattoomuseum under the incredible editor (and friend) Bob Baxter @baxterstattooroadtrip. Back in those days you’d turn the pages of S&I and learn about legendary artists, Indigenous tattoo traditions, and the history of the craft, which was constantly evolving. This issue (September 2002) will always remain a favorite and happy to see the Museum is still there in Fells Point @fellspointdistrict @ corner of Eastern & S. Bond…drop by if you’re in the neighborhood! #tattoohistory #baltimoretattoomuseum #baltimore #tats #tattoo #inked #leutattoofamily #tattoomuseum #craft #crafting @leufamilyart @abinniepaperandskin @nationalbohemianbeer
