enjoy interactive museums, the Baltimore Tattoo Museum is
probably as hands on
as they come, since the main attraction involves having ink embedded into your skin
with a needle through hundreds of rapid injections.
Located on Eastern Avenue in Fell's
Point, the museum is a cross between a tattoo parlor and an art gallery.
Patrons to the museum can view not only tattoo art and artifacts on the
walls and in glass cases, but also real people getting tattooed through cubicle windows.
Admission
to the museum is free.
Tattoos cost $50 at minimum, but the final cost
can run into the hundreds, even thousands of dollars, depending on size and
completion time, says co-owner Bill Stevenson.
