are commissioned every year. the industry is reported to be worth £100 million a year. an exhibition at the national maritime museum cornwall is devoted our arts editor will gompertz has been to falmouth to take a look. tattoos, as you know, are all the rage nowadays. you have the geometric all—over design, the star wars stormtropper and, of course, your classic love heart. do you know what, lal, i'm as pleased as punch with that. thanks very much. you're welcome. each: in the lateg'fis?! lal hardy made his living tattooing iconoclastic punks. today he's taking part in a major museum exhibition, celebrating his artform. times have changed. i think the perception of tattoos has changed because there is so much fantastic artwork out there. i mean, every genre and subject is covered with tattooing now. there's so much beautiful stuff, you know there isn't a stigma like there used to be attached to it any more.

are common misconceptions. tattooing back to britain. british people had been tattooed for hundreds of years before. we start to see evidence of that in the pilgram tattoos that people were going to have in the middle east, when they were going out in the pilgramages in the 1600s. this is one of my favourite parts of the exhibition, we are trying to challenge the idea that tattooing is gender or class—specific. it's notjust people that are getting tattooed but also who was tattooing as well. justine knight the tattooist was once the target in a circus sharp—shooting act. now she's at the business end of the target no more. in what was predominantly a man's world at the time, in as early as the ‘205, ‘305, ‘40s, but her art is so beautiful and it has a real feminine quality to it. so the exhibition finishes with 100 hands.

it's a snapshot of what's happening in britain and i think it shows not just the diversity of styles, but the true beauty and artistic quality of tattoo art now. not everybody will agree with that appraisal. some see them as a symbol of moral decline, an image this exhibition seeks to altar by presenting them as an expression of artistic sensibility. of course, mine wasn't a real tattoo. lal hardy said if ijust rub it with this, it'll come... lal, lal. will gompertz there getting a little more than he bargained for. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. domingo, the papers. followed by the
