Come see all the artists, craftspeople, and creato Come see all the artists, craftspeople, and creators at the Tattoo Waves Festival Market Oct. 31-Nov. 1 @national_museum_of_prehistory in Taitung City, Taiwan. I'll have several of my books available for signing and purchase at my booth and will present a book talk on Nov. 1.

Marked for Life is our beautiful new exhibition on Marked for Life is our beautiful new exhibition on Indigenous tattoo heritage and history across Asia (and elsewhere) that also encompasses the incredible weaving and ancient marking traditions of the Li People of Hainan Island. The exhibition officially opens to the public this Tuesday September 26 with special events and lectures slated for the weekend of October 24-25. The exhibition would not have been possible without co-curator Emily Shen's @emilyshen.doc vision, passion, dedication and sacrifice to bring everything together and visitors will be able to see her groundbreaking documentary on Li tattooing, including interviews with one of the last living tattoo artists - Meifu practitioner Fu LianMei of Baobai village. Also, the collaboration of gallerist, scholar and independent textile collector Gao Yu (@manaspace.art )allowed us to display many exquisite Li weavings never seen before in a public setting. These cultural treasures complement the visionary works of Hainan-based photographer Hu Yaling who has focused her lens on the last generation of Li tattoo bearers for more than 30 years. We are also honored to feature the visionary photography of our friend Jens Uwe Parkitny @jensburma (Chin tattoos of Myanmar), the work and inspirational talents of Paiwan tattoo cultural practitioner Cudjuy Patjidres (@cudjuy_tattoo ), and a powerful large format work of @shatabdi_chakrabarti focusing her lens on Rabari tattooing in India. Kudos and massive thanks goes to Director Lin and staff of the @shungyemuseum for providing us with a beautiful venue and support, and we look forward to seeing you all soon in Taipei! #tattoo #tattoos #museum #taipei #taiwan
