TEMPORARY TATTOO BOX
Maud Stevens Wagner (February 1877 – 1961) was a circus performer and the first known female tattoo artist in the United States.​​​​​​​
She met Gus Wagner​​​​​​​ and she exchanged a romantic date with him for a lesson in tattooing​​​​​​. To honor this woman I created a temporary tattoo box​​​​​.​

A tattoo is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink, dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. The art of making tattoos is tattooing.​​​​​​​​


I created visuals which highlight Maud Wagner tattoos or femininity​​​​​​​.
