A tattoo is defined as “the act or practice of marking the skin with indelible patterns, pictures, legends, etc., by making punctures in it and inserting pigments.”
The simplistic definition avoids the fact that, as a form of expression, tattoos are undefinable.
The latest in the Museum’s Operation series, Operation: Ink is an unregrettable evening of fun, food, spirits and exploration of the evolution of tattoos in the 20th century on Thursday, Aug. 6 in the Auditorium.
The event features the Tattoo Historian, Anna Friedman, and Whispering Danny of Whispering Danny Exile Tattoos. Ryan Maybee of The Rieger Hotel will provide sample cocktails for the event, while The Local Pig shares a sampling of its award-winning food.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a food/cocktail hour followed by the program at 6:30 p.m. Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Support for Operation: Ink was provided by The Pitch, The Local Pig, Whispering Danny Exile Tattoos and The Volunteers Fund.
