Art With a Point joins the Minnesota History Center for “History of Hip

“Never just the domain of sailors and outlaws, tattoos have a rich and storied history.  From Pacific Islanders to American Hipsters, body art has long been a popular form of self expression with many layers of meaning.  Dr. John Troyer gives an overview of the long history of body art with help from tattoo artist Awen Briem.

Looking forward to an awesome day in the studio after a week in the North Woods! Hiking, camping, fishing, thunderstorms, swimming, fresh raspberries, water lily blossoms and rays of light illuminating giant white pines at dusk. Giant snapping turtle, beaver, heron, wolves, dragonflies, frogs, pileated woodpecker, loons… Thanks for graciously sharing your space. And now… For some fresh ink…
