Tattoo Exhibit To Open; Show Us Yours

Pickens Museum Spotlights SC Tattoos

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- A new exhibit will put the spotlight on tattooing in South Carolina. From June 25-Aug. 18, the Pickens County Museum of Art & History will present three exhibits: A History of Tattooing in South Carolina; J. Michael Johnson's INK Beneath the Skin: A Private Collection of Body Art; and Adornment.

The Adornment exhibit is a collection of work by members and guests of the CAFfeine Contemporary Art Forum.

According to a release from the museum, the History of Tattooing in South Carolina exhibit is representative of the diverse cultural reactions to body art. Tattooing has been practiced by the Native Americans in this area since prehistoric times. Within South Carolina, the reputation of tattoos has evolved from sinister convict symbols and the bazaar circus performers to the pride of military service. Contemporary wearers of tattoos often see their tattoos as a personal art collection. It is that sentiment that curators say inspired this exhibit.

The Pickens County Museum is located at the corner of Highway 178 and Johnson Street in Pickens. The museum is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursdays from 9 a.m.-7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Admission is free but donations are welcomed. For more information, call the museum at 864-898-5963.

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
