Convict Tattoos – Examining and Illustrating the Tattoos of Convict Men and Women | Simon Barnard | 2016 [HCDJ]

At least 37% of male convicts and 15% of female convicts were tattooed by the time they arrived in the Australian penal colonies — making 19th century Australia one of the most heavily tattooed English-speaking societies in the world. Simon Barnard's book draws on the convict records held by Australian archives — particularly the physical description books that colonial authorities used to record individual convicts' distinguishing marks — to document and illustrate what those tattoos actually looked like.
