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.
