Torbay Tattoo Tales has been seen by 10,000 visitors to Torre Abbey Museum.
The TATTOO: British tattoo Art Revealed, on loan from the National Maritime Museum Falmouth, has drawn over 10,000 people.
Running since early March 2018, the event has seen over 10,000 people pass through the museums doors.
As part of the exhibition the museum launched Torbay Tattoo Tales.
Torbay Tattoo Tales gives those with a tattoo an opportunity to share the story of their tattoo.
The team at Torre Abbey then take a picture of the tattoo which is added to the website and displayed on the walls gallery.

Over 500 tattoo tales have been captured to date, you can view all of them on the official Tattoo Tales Website.
