Ink in the Lines: Tattoos in the Australian Military

Inscribed on skin are their identities as veterans, the commemoration of loss, experiences of trauma and overcoming adversity, the bonds of family and friends, and acknowledging the experiences that make us who we are. Throughout 2019, The Australian War Memorial documented the stories of servicemen and servicewomen through oral history interviews and portrait photography. Many of the images and stories collected now form the Ink in the Lines exhibition.
