Pierced hearts, Zouaves, marine anchors, dancers... Professor Lacassagne reads the skin of soldiers and convicts like an open book. Tattoos, "inked biographies," which he carefully reproduced in notebooks. These handwritten pages contain surprising and meticulous details about outlaws at the end of the 19th century.
Alexandre Lacassagne has dedicated his work to telling stories of the outcast, understanding marginality, or its language: if we know how to interpret the symbols well, it is the tattooed themselves that we can hear.
