so apparently there's something called 'The Russian Criminal Tattoo Archive,' and even a website called 'Russia Beyond the Headlines,' both of which i discovered through the hope blog, and both of which excite me a great deal.
i kind of have a thing for russia.
anyways, the archive is going to be on display in berlin from april-june this year, and MAN i wish i was in europe to go see it. RBTH has kindly displayed 12 of the photos, along with descriptions of the meaning behind the tattoos here.
speaking of russian criminals, here's a little-known fact about me:
6 years ago i preached an easter sunday sermon to an audience of russian prisoners peering out at me from behind the barred doors of a corridor of cells. i kid you not.
