A Brief History of Skin Marking

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / A Brief History of Skin Marking
Published: January 5, 2020 by VPR Producer

Humans have always practiced various forms of self-expression, whether it’s through written word, music, art or some other outlet. The art of tattooing is one such form that dates back thousands of years. We speak with a history expert, author and professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Craig Koslofsky about some of the earliest tattoo designs and how they were achieved, as well as other skin alteration methods including scarification and branding.
