Are tattoos symbols of identity, works of art or examples of self-harm? How will we decorate our bodies in the future? Check out some of the Science Museum’s unique tattoo collection and talk about our ongoing obsession with body adornment.
Please be aware that this event will include the display of human remains. We will also be tattooing someone live for the event as well.
