Mortal Emblem long sleeve black tee.

Image is a human hide preserved by Dr. Fukushi Masaichi. Masaichi began his tattoo research fully in 1907, meeting people with various tattoos. His biggest interest was bodysuits and he paid people who were willing to donate their skin after they’d died for his research. The doctor used two different methods to preserve his ‘hides’: wet and dry. The skin was gently peeled away from the body, the nerves and tissues were scraped off and then stretched out to dry.

Quote is from legendary Filipina tattooer, Whang-Od Oggay, who is the last and oldest practitioner of Kalinga tattooing.
