Read moreLOW PROFILE & Laura Hopes Let’s SEA Your Tatts has been commissioned and produced by Plymouth Culture for Sea for Yourself, with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund Horizons programme and Arts Council England Place Partnership.
For centuries, tattoos have linked land-dwellers with the sea. Maritime and nautical tattoos have carried layers of meaning and significance for those whose skin they adorn, and others who see them.
During the next 6 months (Sept 2025 – Feb 2026) we are inviting people with a connection to Plymouth to share photos of their maritime, nautical and sea related tattoos and the stories behind them; holding free creative workshops to design new tattoos; and asking some artist friends to make new temporary tattoos for a special souvenir edition!
In February, we will host a celebration event at GROW Plymouth, to share all of the outcomes from the project including a new digital artwork that combines the tattoos created and shared during the project.
