Many museum folks have a love for tattoos—their cultural significance, their artistic quality, their documentation of the natural world, and some, just for their own personal meaning. For years, we have talked about tattoos, the ones we want, the design, the stories behind them, and the artists who create them. So, lets post our tats and our stories!

Sun with Ying and Yang
During my first year in the Navy, my twin brother came to visit and said let's get a tattoo. We went down to the nearest tattoo parlor in Pacific Beach, CA. We both got the same outline of a sun—his was filled in black as a cover up, and mine is a ying and yang. The two small dots in the middle are where an old girlfriend bit me.
