Preserved human skin tattoo taken from an executed French prisoner (collected between 1850-1900) Example found at London's Wellcome Collection museum. In the 19th century, many French sailors returned from voyages in the South Pacific with elaborate tattoos. In 1861, Maurice Berchon, a French naval surgeon, published a study on tattooing subsequent medical complications. As a result, the Navy and Army attempted to ban tattooing within their ranks. #VintageTattoo #TattooHistory…
