The salon "1000 tattoo" – winner of the contest "The most modern tattoo salons, Kyiv 2016", publishes on its website information about the ever-growing popularity of tattoos. This is evidenced not only by numbers, the number of tattoo salons or people with a design on their body, but also by the emergence of tattoo museums. They can be found, for example, in Amsterdam and Japan.
In Amsterdam, the museum opened in November 2011. Since then, a large number of tourists have visited it. They are attracted by the rich collection and the way it is presented. Each exhibit of the museum will reveal secrets and tell about many things related to tattoo culture.
Visitors learn about the history of body art in different countries and cultures. The museum's collection numbers more than forty thousand specimens. It is divided by territorial division: America, Africa, Asia, Oceania. Here you can get acquainted with the use of tattoos in various subcultures: army, prison, sailors, and others. For those interested, master classes are held once a month, and you can also get a tattoo yourself and watch how it is applied to others.
The exhibition will delight visitors with bright colors and various special effects. The museum presents tattoos of primitive tribes. You can also find pieces of skin with designs. You can learn about the history of tattoos in the library located in the same building.
Now let's move on to the tattoo museum located in Japan. Currently, its collection is still small – only about a hundred exhibits. But this is not an obstacle to visiting it. Everyone who has ever been to the museum leaves completely delighted.
The thing is that the local exhibits are real human skin with designs. The museum owners buy it from vagrants. The purchase is made while the people who have a tattoo on their body are still alive. After their death, their skin becomes a museum specimen. The group https://vk.com/kievtattoo reports that the collection grows larger every year. At first glance, this seems creepy, but curiosity and interest drive numerous tourists to visit this attraction.
Even those who are indifferent to tattoos should still visit the museum in Japan. You will see many amazing things: the master of body art does not use a special tattoo machine, but applies the design with bamboo sticks. The Japanese learn this skill for a long time, throughout their lives.
Every person who visits a tattoo museum will definitely take away something new and interesting for themselves. Perhaps visiting the museum will make you look at body art in a new way.
