Polish Prison Tattoos

Look what I found! These tattoos outlasted their owners. There's a cool skull and snake, a random guy on a bike (no mustache), some very interesting couplings...pretty cool tattoos. :)

Holy shit, these are awesome! Thanks for sharing, the shaking hands and snake/skull are incredible...

Wow these are crazy!

That whole website has some crazy stuff. Look at the Topics pull down (near top right) for one called "the wrong side of history." Very strange stuff.

These are awesome! They make me hungry though.

and I thought female muscle-bound porn was a recent development!

I wonder if any LSTers will have their work saved in formaldehyde after they're long gone.

It's crossed my mind.

Wow. That one still has a nipple. Gnarly. I read on Sang Blue that the Japanese government has hundreds of preserved full body suits but they don't display them publicly for whatever reason.

Some of these blow away what my local guys can do.

It's crossed my mind.

Mine as well. But, it's interesting an interesting argument, whether tattoos are made to be worn by the wearer until death and then lost to time, or preserved in museums and such for posterity.

First time I was exposed to this(besides a museum) was a guy saved some(his fathers I believe) and hung them in a bar.

There's a company that you can sign your body away to, and after you die they use your skin to make leather products. I believe they then pay your family a bunch of money.

Apparently, human leather makes the best products; our skin is so soft and such small pores, it makes incredibly soft leather.

My first thought was a wallet, with one of my distinct tattoos on it, for my son (if I had one). Be a little creepy, but it's whatever.

Found the site a few years back, not 100% sure its still a thing, but they made everything. Briefcases, shoes, belts, you name it.

It was once "somewhat common" to bind books with human skin

If you're enterprising, narcissistic and not averse to being thought of as crazy, you could bind a book of photographs of your tattoos with your backpiece.

Books bound in human skin was actually what started the conversation and subsequent internet search (yea, we used our time well in high school) that led to the human leather product website. Your backpeice bound tattoo photo album idea is next level though. Good call!
