Description
American sailors have decorated their bodies with tattoos for more than 200 years. Discover why in this new traveling exhibit from Independence Seaport Museum.

Learn the stories behind pigs and roosters, anchors and twin propellers. See how the art has changed, from a shipboard craft to a shoreside trade.
