EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1960s, we witness a profound moment of devotion and body art expression as tattoo artist Stan Davis works on Jennifer Brain's back, creating a crucifixion tattoo. The black-and-white photograph captures the intimate scene in a small, dimly lit room, where the only sources of light come from a single overhead bulb and the reflection off the porcelain toilet. Jennifer, with her head turned to the side, gazes intently at the mirror, her eyes fixed on the image of the crucified Christ that is slowly taking shape on her back. Her expression is one of deep concentration and reverence, as if she is in a trance, lost in the spiritual significance of the tattoo. Stan Davis, a skilled tattoo artist, focuses intently on his work, his brow furrowed in concentration as he carefully inks the intricate details of the crucifixion onto Jennifer's skin. The tattoo, with its intricate details and lifelike depiction of the crucified Christ, is a testament to Davis's artistry and dedication to his craft. The image of the crucifixion tattoo, with its religious symbolism and the intimate setting of the tattoo parlor, speaks to the complex interplay between body art, culture, and religion in the 1960s. The tattoo, a permanent mark on the body, represents a deep and personal connection to one's beliefs and values, and the act of getting inked was a bold and defiant statement of individuality during a time of social and cultural upheaval. The photograph, with its raw and unfiltered depiction of the tattooing process, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, when body art was a subculture and a symbol of rebellion, and when the act of getting a tattoo was a transformative and deeply personal experience.
