纹身艺术是一种较为特别的艺术形式，其历史源远流长，其沿革丰富多彩，现代纹身杰作堪称美与真的完美艺术，是远古与现代的一脉相承。
我们改变，但我们依然保持不变……
从遥远的太古年代走来，从新旧石器时代走来，纹身仍旧风靡于世，仍旧在这个日新月异的高科技世界里蔓延开来。不同的时代，纹身用途不一，从个人社会地位或个人所属社会组织的标识，发展到如今我们时常所见的纯粹的审美功用。现代人将纹身看作一种装饰性身体整形术，不过曾几何时，人们当它是与生俱来、必不可少的身体标志，曾几何时，人们又将它视为异教徒的恶行。
直到史上最伟大的摇滚音乐家之一、摇滚音乐领域的首位女性詹妮斯•乔普林（Janis Joplin）纹上腕带和小的心形纹身（由Lyle Tuttle创作）之时，公众对纹身的感知才有了真正的突破，纹身对20世纪人们的意义才发生了最大的改变。因此，自上世纪70年代初，纹身就被当作一种身体艺术而广为接受，而纹身大师也被誉为真正的艺术家。尽管我们社会对纹身仍存在一些负面联想，并且不少还颇有道理，但人们依旧认为，只要创作者透过纹在人体皮肤上的图画想表现的是美学，是美与真的艺术，那这种身体整形方法就值得赞赏。
我们今日的展示将为你呈现纯纹身艺术的各种例子，它们的创作初衷在于美化人体，同时展现艺术家的精湛技艺。
