Back in 1993, before there was a tattoo parlor on every block, Chicago artist Tony Fitzpatrick teamed up with Don Ed Hardy to put on a gallery show devoted to exploring the art of tattoo. It was called Eye Tattooed America and it was first exhibited June 4 - August 14, 1993 at the Ann Nathan Gallery here in Chicago before going on tour across the nation. In this video shot as Eye Tattooed America was first opening in Ann Nathan Gallery, Fitzpatrick shows and discusses the significance of this long-practiced but often ignored art form.
