In the Lyon clinic of an anonymous 1930s dermatologist known only as "Dr. X," a fascinating parade of characters emerged. Rugged foreign legionnaires, hardened ex-convicts, rebellious sailors, and eccentric street artists all crossed his threshold. What united them was their skin: entirely covered in extraordinary, illicit, and intricate tattoos.
Decades later, legendary French art dealer Gérard Lévy acquired these archives, bringing Dr X’s private collection to light. The result is a stunning, poetic, and raw look at body modification long before it hit the mainstream.
