TATTOOING, tattooed women, 1940s. 2 photos, vintage silver prints, annotated on backs Dimensions: 17.7 x 12.8 cm each Slight folds, scratches Note: Photographs of tattooed women, dating from the 1940s. These images are part of the tradition of representations of tattooed bodies, a subject that aroused curiosity and fascination at the time, particularly in show business circles, fairs and cabarets where tattooed performers could be presented as attractions. In the middle of the XXᵉ century, tattooing was still relatively marginal in Europe, and was often associated with maritime worlds, fairgrounds or curiosity shows. These photographs bear witness to this visual imaginary and to the documentary interest in these bodily practices at the time.
