Prison Tattoos: Uncovering a Forbidden Art
Far beyond your local tattoo parlor, and the ordinary tattoo experience, is the ancient, yet little known art of prison tattooing. Prison tattoos serve many functions. They can be an expression of self, a form of communication, a manifestation of a gang affiliation, or a clue to crimes of the past. For those behind bars, a night on the town followed by a tattoo among friends is simply not an option. They must turn to the artists on the inside. Forbidden in prisons, tattooing must be done in secret with makeshift equipment. When the fear of being discovered and punished looms overhead, inmates get creative in producing their own needles, guns, and inks. In fact, tattooing is such a widespread activity in some prisons, that a few are taking a unique approach to controlling it.
