MARITIME TATTOO POP UP
at Keepsake Tattoo, 253 11th Street, Astoria, Oregon Saturday, May 11, 2024, 2:00PM - 10:00PM Maritime tattoos have a long and complicated history. American traditional maritime tattooing is said to have gotten its start after James Cook’s voyages in the South Pacific during the 1700s. Cook’s sailors got tattoos as ‘souvenirs’ of their time at sea, and this connection to seafaring culture soon gave maritime tattoos their own unique style. This walk-in event at Keepsake Tattoo features maritime flash inspired by this tradition and the history of the Oregon coast. First come, first served! $80 minimum. Plan for 45 minutes to an hour for your tattoo. No Registration, Walk-in event |
