Put the Lotion in the Basket

Long before tattoos became mainstream fashion statements, they carried layers of meaning—sacred, social, and sometimes sinister. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we trace the fascinating history of tattooing across cultures and centuries. From the ritual markings of ancient Egypt, to the traditions of Native American tribes, to the twisted use of tattoos under the Nazis, and finally to the body art explosion of the modern era—this is the story of how ink on skin became both taboo and treasure. Are tattoos a symbol of identity, rebellion, or survival? The answer depends on where—and when—you look.
