I have, however, seen references to a tattoo *museum* in Japan.  I saw it
mentioned in a book on devorative body mutilation (I'm sorry, I can't
remember the name).

It included tattood skin which had been left to the museum by poeple in
their wills.

It could be a "poodle in the microwave oven" story but the rest of the
publication was quite accurate.

I guess this belongs in the "wierd museums" thread of a few months ago.
